MONTANA BEHIND QUOTA
in ". S S. CAMPAIGN
VAST NUMBERS OF POPULATION
HAVE NOT YET INVESTED IN
THESE SECURITIES

Montana is woefully behind in its
war savings campaign. With less than
three months to go, the state stands
! 81 DDS, S66 behind. Add to this Mon
tana's monthly quota for the remain
ing three months and we have 81, :
S1S. the sum the people of the state
must invest in the best securities on
earth-the War Savings stamps be
fore December 81, or Montana must
hang its head in shame and admit that
the raising of s7,S51, 5S4 to help win
| the war was too much for this vast
state.
Montana's quota is the same pro rata
as allotted to every state, namely
$1,000, maturity value, Of War Savings
stamps for every man, woman or
child in the state. The population was
taken at $4,000, which was certain
ly very conservative figure. When
we start to figure that everyone who
has taken his limit-S1 900, maturity
galue-has taken care of the quota of
so people and that the man or woman
who has invested $500 has taken care
of his own and "a other peoples quo
ia, and the fact that the person who
invests 500 has taken care of his own
and four others quota, it begins to
dawn on US that there is a vast num-
Der of our population who do not own
any War Savings stamps
When one thinks of the 10 months of
intensive campaign for war savings,
hn ia of 40 hn tot &c go h1h
looms up as a vast, gloomy fact. 1t
is sure to be sad message to the Mon
tana boys at the front when they find
that conditions are as bad as they are.
What will be our excuse to our fight
ing boys? They fully realize the I'M
portance of having every man, woman
and child invest their money in War
Savings stamps. They further know
that there are few indeed in this big,
rich state of Montana who cannot in
the 10 months loan their government
the small sum of money required to
purchase four War Savings stamps,
which may be purchased at % cents
at time.
The war savings campaign has done
u vast amount of good for the people
of the state. both in teaching thrift
and patriotism. The exact amount of
this side of the campaign can never
be figured as can the money loaned
to Uncle Sam to clothe and equip our
soldier boys. However great the good
from this side of the war savings
campaign may be, we of Montana cam
not claim success until the money
quota set by the government for this
state has been sold. 1t is not too late
yet to raise this sum of money for our
boys support, but it will require eff
fort from everyone to see that Mon
tana is "over the top" in the war
savings campaign by December 81.

EMPLOYERS OF NON WAR
WORKERS MUST REPORT

Great Falls-In order that the state
director of the United States employ
ment service and the federal director,
too, may know the exact labor condi-
ton and the number of men being d.
verted from non-essential to essential
positions, the local community boards
through the state have been directed
to make a survey of all the non-es-
sential industries in their districts
once a month. They will send copy
to the director general at Washington,
and another to the state director and
keep a third copy for use in their own
office.
The first survey must be made at
once, and the next and subsequent
surveys within the first week of the
succeeding months.
The cooperation of the employers
and managers of the non-essential
plants will be asked to assist in these
surveys, and will be expected to re-
port accurately the number of able
bodied men in their employ.
These instructions have been sent
out to the district community boards
in the cities by State Director Scott
Leavitt. The list contains total of
100 industries regarded as non essen
tial by the United States government.

MORE CROPS PLANNED FOR
NEXT SEASONS HARVEST

Bozeman.-The extension depart
ment of the Bozeman Agricultural
college is planning state campaign
to increase the crops next year, and
will reach the farmers through meet
ings of the local farm bureaus.
The agricultural department has
found that there is going to be ire
mendous shortage of farm labor next
year and that, unless means can be
taken to organize farm work better
than this year, it is probable that
the result will be a curtailment of
farming.
That will bring on a shortage of
production that will squeeze the coun-
try and its allies down to a state
where there may be suffering for lack
of food. In order to prevent this, eff
forts will be made through many agen
cies to keep the farming industry al
least up to its present scale.

Donation to Fight Epidemic.


The State Association for the Pre-
vention of tuberculosis, of which III. r
Cunningham is president, has taker
steps to substantially aid in the eradi
cation of Spanish influenza from the
state, and at a special meeting apprO
priated $1,000 to the use of the state
board of health in securing nurses to
fight the contagion.
The meeting was of a special kind
and it was decided that the funds OF
the society could be no better expend-
ed than to stamp out the scourge that
is hating army movements and caus-
ing deaths throughout the country.
The money was appropriated with
the approval of the national associa-
ton directorate. The society also di-
rected that all nurses in it's employ
should give their services to the local
health boards of the state in the in
fluenza crusade.
1t may be that the society will ap-
propriate further funds for the influ-
enza work if it is required
The only definite figures the state
board of health has, on the influenza
situation in Montana are in the re-
port of the surgeon general at Wash
ington, showing 704 new cases were re-
ported to the board as occurring last
week. The board admits the figures
are far from incomplete.
