R L Ramsdell. vice president Of the United Cigar

angry voice IN the office OF the Hotel Antoinette in New

It appears that the ilustrious Ramsdell was thor.

WAR SAVINGS SOCIETIES.

The number of War Savings socie-
ties regularly chartered by the Treas
ury department in America has now
reached the 100000 mark. Montana
stands third in the whole list of
state pro-rata for the number of
War Savings societies. On July. 1
our State has 1857 chartered War
Saving socities, with an average
membership of 80 or a total member
ship of 31,71O. The entire membership
Of War Savings societies in the
country is in excess of 100000. All
these five million are pledged to save
regularly and loan to the Government
their savings. They save not only
money, but material and labor as
well. We r unable to say what
amount of money this large army of
home soldiers loaned the treasury,
but judging from the returns in Mon
tana we know it is a vast sum. Of
the 225 societies in this State which
reported between May % and July !,
there were 1924 or 81 per cent Of
period of five weeks. The combined
loan of these people to the Govern
ment during this time was 1923, O8S. SO
or an average of Sab for their entire
membership.
The Government is giving sthe War
Savings societies more attention each
month, and soon these societies will
be one of the most important factors
in the treasury departments gigantic
| war finance program. Here is a real
chance for the stay-at-homes to do
some effective work. First, he should
join a War Savings society, and if
there is not one handy, organize a
new one. Then he should keep on get
ting new members and organizing new
societies. Call on your County Director
and Committeeman or write Harry w.
Turner, State Director for Wax Saw
ings, Room 5, 50 2. Broadway, Butte,
sent information, bu the use of which
you can form a War Savings society
and hereby do your county a lasting
service in this time of crisis.

America was in this war to a finish,

ON THE JOB ALL THE TINE.

The mistaken idea has gone around
the State that the War Savings cam
paign ended June 20, with the end of
the Pledge Card drive. This is entire
" wrong. In fact the Pledge Card
drive simply started the intensive
work Of this campaign. All those
pledges which were given during the
drive must be made good before De-
cember 81, 1913. It does not take a
prophet to see that this means work
for the War Savings County Director
and his army of assistants. Montana
must make good. The citizens Of our
State, at the request of President
Wilson and Secretary McAdoo, and in
pursuant of the proclamation of
Governor S. V. Stewart and the order
of State Director Harry w. Turner,
have pledged the United States that
Montana will supply the Government
with a monthly income from this
State by the purchase of War Saw
ings Stamps. 1t is as important that
this pledge be made good as it is to
have soldiers on the French front.
On June %, Montana told Secretary
McAdoo that he could depend or us
for the amount we pledged. Now we
are to make good our promise and the
sooner that we do it the more honor
to the State. Your pledge on that
card e hat you will supply some
of the bullets to defend your Flag
That pledge means that you are back
of the boys in France with your saw
ings and that you will release to the
Government the material and labor
that this money you save would have
brought if you spent it.
If you were in a foreign land and
had not seen u starry flag for sew
eral months and suddenly rested your
eyes upon it as floated to the
breeze, you would feel like making
good your own pledge and help every
man, woman and child do likewise
with their own, and what is more, you
would do it. Your flag is just as beau
tiful at home and just now it needs
the protection your dollars can give it
so why not do your bit no matter how
small and no matter how large, both
are welcome and needed.
The Army and Navy are all right
1t is the stay-at-homes who need at
tention. If we keep up u end,
there will be no trouble with the enc
"over there" The direct way for you
to do your part is to make good on
your pledge and see that others do the
same.
Thank your stars that you have
lived in this glorious age when you,
aid means so much to the countless
generations which will bless youl
work as they enjoy the liberty you1
work brought them. You will bt
proud to tell your grandchildren vol
loaned the Government every cent you
could spare.

tic, and at the same time helps bull

ARMY IDEA OF A QUOTA.

The soldiers in the big camps are
continually doing things that will
make a good many citizens revise
estimate of what constitutes doing
ones bit. It is altogether too easy
and simple to say in a casual way that
soldiers drill and fight. while civilians
plant war gardens and buy Liberty
bonds, each being thereby relieved of
further responsibility.
The civilians have no right to get
do all that is in them regardless of al
lotments n quotas. Not only do they
drill and fight, but they buy Liberty
bonds, too, and when they can they
plant and cultivate war gardens.
There is a garden at Camp Dix in
New Jersey that covers almost 400
acres, and it is all worked by men
from the camp. There is a whole
quarter section planted to potatoes,
and thirty acres each of corn, onions,
beans, peas and beets. Camp Dix is
making very little demand just now
on the quartermaster's department for
fresh vegetables and is demanding
few freight ears to haul potatoes and
beans.
Other camps have their gardens,
too, and some of them have orchards,
and they all have salvage plants
where food and clothing are kept
from being wasted. 1t would be easy
for the army to say: eve do the
fighting, let the civilians do the gar
dening and the conservation" But the
army does not proceed on that prin-
ciple. 1t does everything that it asks
the people at home to do, and goes
a bit farther.
So the people at home should be
careful about picking out limited
"bits" of service to perform. The only
adequate "bit" is the limit of indi.
vidual strength and endurance.

back into the fold Of the guild. Until
a few years ago Colonel Gordon was
an active member. He withdrew five
years ago when he thought the daily
newspapers were attempting to con-
troll the association. His old time
friends insisted on his again Identify
ing himself with the association and
his rehabilitation was made the occa-
sion of a delightful show of sentiment.
It was a most enjoyable meeting,
and will not soon be forgotten by
those who attended. The next annual
convention will be held at Great
Falls.

A Bilious Attack.

When you have a bilious attack your
liver fails to perform it's functions.
You become constipated. The food you
eat ferments in your stomach instead
of digensting. This inflames the stom-
ach and causes nausea, vomiting and
a terrible headache. Take three Of
Chamberlain's Tablets. They will tone
up your liver, clean out your stomach
and you will soon be as we'll as ever.
