UP to January 81, $5,500.00 worth OF
war savings and thrift stamps. The
newly formed patriotic Defense
League" Of Libby, under the able
management Of Rev. G, A.. Marshall,
who is also community director Of
Libby for the war savings committee,
is taking an active part in the thrift
campaign. The league Is now en-
gagged in making a list Of all persons
in the county owning a thrift card or

those not owning the same. The war
savings committee will interview all
who have not purchased.
A lady in Deer Lodge has made a
rule for herself to devote the money
that she would save from cutting
down her amusements to the purchase
of war savings and thrift stamps. She
has limited herself to one picture
show a week. Every time she wishes
to go to a picture show other than
this one, she simply put that amount
Of money away for the purchase of
war savings stamps.
c. W. Merrilies, general agent for
the Chicago Great Western Railroad
company, has rendered his services to
State Director Harry w. Turner, as
a travelling organizer of war savings
societies. Mr.. Merrilies has made a
special study of these societies and is
a charter member of the railway en-
ployees war savings society Of Butte,
which is Montana's first war savings

These are busy days for County Dr.
rector Ben E. Calkins. Aside from
taking care Of his big committee, Mr..
Calkins. finds time to put wei some
banner sales himself. Recently he
sold William G. Carol forty war saw
ings certificates, each containing
twenty war savings stamps. Ten GER
tificates are for Mrs. Carroll, ten for
William Craige Carroll, jr., ten for
John Carroll, six years old, and ten
for Mr.. Carroll. In short Mr.. CAL
kins made a. 100 per cent family out
of the CAROLS. William Carroll, jr.,
is also a war savings stamp booster
of the first rank. He has been doing
good work spreading the gospel of
thrift among his school friends. Now
that he owns all the war savings
stamps the government will allow him
he is spending his time showing 9TH
ers the thrift way.
County Director R. H. Daniels says
he has started a booth in the post
office in Miles City. "The result up
to date has been very gratifying as
the ladies', while not making sales
running into large amounts, have in
terested several hundred people in
starting small accounts, which is the
main consideration at present. Each
days sales show a gratifying in
a over the proceeding day." says
MI Daniels.
County Director Amos C. Hall of
Bozeman has adopted the booth plan
to boost the sale of war savings and
thrift stamps. The Bozeman Milling
company has donated a part of it's
booth space at the automobile and in
dustrial show. Two of Bozeman's
most charming young ladies, Miss
Celia Buell. and Miss Marie Water
man, were in charge of the booth.
The booth was the big drawing card
of the show. County Director Hall
says that Gallatin county has seventy
authorized agents and IT'S sub-agents,
and that the county's sale of stamps
up to Feb. 9 was $13,000.0 90, approx
mately.
We notice that the Herald of Sid
ney, Richland county, has been run
ming the war savings stamp primer in
it's columns. This is an excellent idea.
We cannot have too much publicity
of the A. B. C.'s of the wal savings
stamp campaign. Many people do not
understand war savings stamps. The
Kalispell Bee is running some write
ups along the same line. The Times
in Virginia City is also running the
primer.
C. H. Lyman of Poison has been
appointed assistant director.
The Miles City American is just
full Of the war savings stamp cam
paign doings in the county Of Custer.
All advertisements contain this line:
"Every stamp you lick helps lick the
kaiser" The letters, w. S. S., appear
between each article all the way
through the paper.
