Y. ". E.. A. CAMPAIGN
IN NOVEMBER
Purpose Is To Acquaint the Public
With What Organization Is Doing
In War Work

One of the most appealing stories
of the part being played by, Amerlc;
an women in the war is to De Placeo
in vivid detail before the people o
the western states during the next
few months.
An educational campaign OF n
most comprehensive scope a oeen
started by the Young Momen's Chris.
tan association. The purpose OF
the campaign is to acqualnt n puo-
lie with what this organization mas
done, is doing, and plans to 40, IN
connection with a vital phase OF Amer
ica's mighty war effort.
The campaign is to be national. In
the west it has already started. II
is designed to pave the way for a
great drive for war work FUNDS IN
November in conjunction with the
Young Mems Christian association,
the War Camp Community service
and the American Library assocla-
ton.
State directors have already been
selected and are at work. Under the
general direction of Miss Cora l.. Ia
than, a systematic campaign has heen
outlined in eight western states and
the Hawaiian islands, the territory
designated as the western department
of ethe Y. w. C. A.
Backed by the traditions of more
than half a century, the Young Wom-
ems Christian association has turned
it's full strength toward the welfare
of the women who have been shifted
BY the demands of war into new con-
ditions and environments. The value
Of the work is u%ndisputed. Officially,
it has been sanctioned by the ordnance
department Of the army. requesting
the attention Of the Y. w. c. A. to
the women engaged in munitions fac
tories in the United States and abroad.
The French government has also sane
toned the associations work.
Its value has been further recog-
nized wherever American women are
devoting themselves actively to the
cause-in the ranks of the Red Cross
and other organizations with the
troops overseas, in the hostess houses
and among the women living in COM
munities near large concentrations of
troops.
The state campaign director in
Montana is Mrs. C. L. F. Kellogg.

FEED SHIPMENTS
ON ONE.HALf RATES
Railroad Administration Has Made
Special Arrangements To Aid
Consumers in DrOuth Area

The United States railroad admin
istration has granted one-half freight
rates on carlot shipments of all
kinds of feed from all points of origin
to the drouth area of Montana. The
rates are granted to any consignee
through whom the commodity will
reach the consumers intended to be
aided. The consumers intended to
be aided are those having work stock
engaged in farming or who have stock
engaged in reproduction; in other
words, farmers and stock raisers.
: Parties entitled to the one-half rate
are farmers and stock raisers, mer-
chants, elevators, feed mills, ETC.,
within the drouth area, intending to
resell to farmers and stock raisers
within the drouth area.
DrOuth Area Permits
Such parties will make application
IN person or by mail to their county
agent: A drouth area permit will be
issued for each car desired. This per-
mt will be accepted by the railroad
agent in lieu of one-half of the regu-
lar freight tariff.
Handling Charge
The freight reduction is granted for
the sole purposes of assisting in the
planting of crops and to resist the de-
pletion OF the live stock supply. There
fore, your cooperation is desired that
these ends may be attained. Upon
you will rest the obligation to dis
tribute commodities shipped in under
permits, to the designated consumers
only.
The consumers must receive the en-
tire aid afforded by the one-half
freight rate reduction. If any deal
er should charge more than the
usual amount for handling charge on
any commodity shipped under permit
or should deliver any commodity
shipped under a permit to any others
than the designated consumers, the
authority of the county agent to issue
him additional permits will be can
celed.
Accounts
1t is intended that dealers WITHIN
the drouth area may assist IN dis
tributing one-half freight rates con1-
modities to the proper consumers,
with as little inconvenience to them
selves as is possible. For the purpose
Of affording themselves a check on
the amount of commodities so shipped
in and distributed, it is suggested that
a simple balance sheet be kept. On
one side could be listed the commo-
dities with cost prices, shipped II un-
der permits and on the other couid be
listed the commodities with selling
prices, sold at the reduced price and
the names of the purchasers: Such
q simple statement would afford q
check for both the merchant and the
county agent.
