MOKALE.
The fourth Liberty bond campaign
will be started all over the United
States today, Saturday, Sept. %, and
should have the support of every res
ident of the nation. You have sent
your sons to the front to battle for
democracy, but their efforts on the
firing lines will be useless unless
they are backed up by money with
which to furnish the sinews of war in
the way Of food, munitions, clothing
and other essentials to the successful
prosecution of the war.
The government at this time is Of
fering a more liberal plan Of pur-
chase and interest than has been the
case in the past issues and it is ex
pected that the response will be the
more generous as result. There
will be no excuse for the state of
Montana not being able to put the
present issue over and above the re-
quired amount as announced by the
national board having in charge the
selling of the new issue of Liberty
bonds.
The distribution of the sale over
the state has undoubtedly been ar
ranged with an idea to local condi-
tions. There are some sections where
the farming communities will not be
able to invest very heavily in the
bonds on account of the very good
reason that they have no money and
have no prospects of getting any
money until the next harvest. These
sections will have to be given smaller
allotments than are other more for
tunate regions in Montana.
| There will, however, be no question
as to the loyalty and patriotism Of
any part of the state. Every one is
surely going to go the limit and do
more than their bit in this great
work. The agricultural sections OF
the state can be depended upon in
this campaign, as they have in the
past, to ''give until it hurts"
States where the Nonpartisan
League is we'll organized have made
great records in past Liberty bond
campaigns and it is up to Montana
now to set pace for the world. Let
every one get in the game. Buy
bonds to the limit yourself and see
that your neighbor does the same

precinct is enrolled among the bond
buyers for the fourth issue. Each one
should buy according to his means
It is not merely a patriotic duty fol
you to buy bonds at this time, but il
is one of the best investments that
YOU can make. Find out who your
county and township chairmen are
and consult with them as to how you
can best aid in the drive. Get in al
once and see that everyone else does
the same. Time is as big an item as
amount. If Montana can be announced
as one of the first states to go ovel
the allotment it will be another
mighty fine advertisement for the
state.
Do not neglect this opportunity te
help your government and help your
self. Keep in mind the fact that il
you do not buy Liberty bonds, that
your son or your neighbours son is moi
getting a square deal if he is ovel
there fighting for you and yours
Remember that there is no time like
the present and that if you delay one
day in buying you will be giving aic

rather short and tight, but there was
nothing exaggerated in the outline. A
very attractive notion connected with
this suit was the picturesque stock tie
of black and white foulard.
These stock ties are immensely pop

many different materials; silk, foulard,
wool, spotted crepe, etc. They give
an effective finishing touch to a simple

they keep the throat quite warm with

right up to the neck if desired.

NEW LINGERIE FAD IS GREEN
Something More Novel Found Abso-
lutely Necessary if One Would Be
Distinctive as Well as Different.

The dress faddist will hail the news
that there is now color in lingerie.
White is so painfully old-fashioned
that the up-to-datc girl has eschewed
it altogether; pink has become com
mOnplace and so ii is absolutely nee
eSsary to turn to something more novel
IL one would be distinctive and differ
ent."
The new color is Nile green. In
fact, it has been fashionably launched
by Washington society girl recently
married nj the capital. 1t is author
itatively stated that beneath her we'd
ding gown was worn Il princess slip of
pea green georgette crepe trimmed
with diminut!ve bows of flesh-cOlOred
satin. Over this there was Il tunic of
the green georgctte accompanied by
bodice also Of the crepe and trimmed
with delicate pink ribbon.
To he sure, this novel trousseau color
was really regulated by the unusual
wedding gown. II was made by ia
nous dressmaker of New York, Paris
and London. and by way of unique
treatment had Il train of two-tone satin
which reflected wavering pale green
tints. The gown itself was Of white
velvet.
If one likes the idea it is well to
know that at certain of the high.class

articles of lingerie in the correct
