In your better moments think of
the boys who are fighting that you
may live in a better world. Do your
part. Keep your war savings pledge.
w. S. S.
Prove to yourself that you did not
overestimate your earning capacity or
your desire to keep your word when
you signed your war savings pledge
last June.
w. s. S.
In the comfort of your home, think
of the boys "over there" Have you
kpet your pledge to help support them
by investing in war savings stamps ?

It is a beautiful soothing thought.
1t is a balm of conscience. The knowl-
edge that you are keeping faith with
u fighting boys by making good your
war savings pledge.
w. S. S.
Be a fnisher. Know the thrill that
comes to him who can truthfully~ say
"There is another time I have made
good" Patriotic pride will intensity
the thrill when you make good your
war savings pledge.

The boys "over there" are depend
ing on you over here to keep your
word. How about your war savings
pledge? A good deed brings a re-
ward to our hearts. Fulfilling your

A western man is always a mar of
his word. A little slow sometimes,
but he makes good just the same.
That's why we have confidence in all
the citizens of Montana making good
their war savings pledge.
Your country has mothered you and
naturally you have overlooked her a
little, but you are going to make good
now that she has called for your help.
That war savings pledge you signed
is your bond and you are going to de-
liver 100 per cent of it.
w. S. S.
The triumphant return of u SOL

new and better day for the worlds
Let US at home I'M

A TRIP TO THE
SHEPARD RANCH
Beautiful Place in "The Jungles" Is
Inspiration for An Article Writ.

After a delightful visit at the home
OF her friends, Martha T. Maloney of
Haxy writes the following apprecia-
ton of the home of the Shepards.
I'VE spent a week with Mr.. and
Mrs. Dallas Shepard of Ash creek
on their beautiful ranch, which is To-
Gated in what is termed "The Jun
gles," and to reach their claim neces.
states a climb of several hundred
feet.
The house, garden and several
small fields are situated in a favored
pocket OF the ranch. Their seeds are
the first planted in the spring: thew
are the last ones visited by frost in
the fall, and the summer heat is 50
tempered by cool breezes that every
thing they plant natures to a per-

"By skilful and scientific methods,
Mr.. Shepard has produced a wonder

with which grows Sudan grass five
and one-half feet high.
The yard is fully protected nv

rounded by many young trees-cher-
ry, box elder, popular and willow. all
OF which receive careful cultivation
and bid fair to form a shady grove
in the not far distant future.
THE Shepard ranch yields suffi-
Gent fuel for their own and neigh
6ors' use. Springs furnish an album
dance of water for their own use and
for several milk cows and some 300
head of horses.
Mr.. and Mrs, Shepard are wide
awake and thoroughly up to date. All
elections are held in their cabin and
1t is an interesting sight to see the
voters on election days riding in over
the hills bent on having a voice in
the affairs of the nation.

Glasgow, Montana. This service is

Freight congestion continues to
