That the War Savings societies are to be a most
important factor in the War Savings campaign in
Montana is plainly shown by the wonderful activity
among these various societies. The latest society to
way club War Savings society of Livingston, Montana.
This society has determined that Park county shall
have another 100 per cent record. This time Park
ings Stamps in one big drive. The plan is to have a
large celebration on a certain day which has so far not
been determined. However, Decoration. Day is the
have the entire population Of the county assemble in
Livingston to buy War Savings Stamps. Park County
has over-subscribed it's qouta of Liberty Bonds and is
said to have won several service flags. It is proposed
to arrange that each department Of the Northern Pa
ciic, which has ver-subscribed it's allotment, shall also
receive a service flag. The plan proposes that all these
flags be raised on a certain day and that this flag rails
ing day. will constitute a big celebration, combining
with it the War Savings Stamp drive. Park county's
net yearly quota Of War Savings stamps is $l49, ;62.
lea a a "a !, Of about Six; ooc.oo6 ts'1 be - raised.
Subtracting what Park county has raised during the
month of April and up to the time of the proposed cele-
bration, it would leave in the neighborhood of 100000
for this drive to raise. So the size of the task which
the Railway Club War Savings society assigned itself
can be easily seen. However, under able manage
ment Of the club, there is no reason why Park county
cannot raise it's entire quota in one day. The affairs
of the Railway Club War Savings society of Living
ston is ably administered by w. H. Bunney, it's presi-
drent, J. P. Coleman, its secretary, and several efficient
committees.
County Director H. F. Miller has opened two
booths for the sale of War Savings and Thrift stamps
the town will be in attendance at the booth and explain
War Savings and Thrift stamps to all who desire to
listen. Chouteau county sales will be materially helped
by the work of these patriotic women.
It is pleasant to record that, while Beaverhead
county is beyond the 100 per cent mark of it's quota in
the sale OF war !, Sayings stamps and will !! be for some
to sell War Savings stamps during their Liberty bond
drive.
According to the Harlowtown Press, we learn that
the school at Martinsdale has not only a state record,
but also a national one. This school Of ~tthirty-six STU
dents owns $4,000 worth Of War Savings stamps,
which is an average of $1,000 per student.
County Director T. H. Burke of Big Horn county
has just closed a carnival queen voting contest in
which $4,000 worth of stamps were sold. Votes were
secured by the purchase of Thrift and War Savings
stamps. and in this way the above amount was raised.
100000 worth Of stamps were sold the last afternoon
of the contest. This improves the standing of Big Horn
county very materially. Mr.: Burke also has a Limit
club for those who have purchased all the government
allows them to purchase of War Savings stamps: A
