Urges Stockmen To
Buy Defense Bonds

G. X. Malone of Choteau, presi-
dent Of the Montana Stockgrowers
Association, a director of the Spo-
kane Branch of the Farm Credit
Administration and member of the
general State committee of the De-
tense Savings Staff, urges all stock
men to participate in the Defense
Savings campaign, according to
Chairman Jos. F. Fennessey, Jr., of
the Lincoln County Defense Savings
Committee.
Mr.. Malone declares: ''The stock
men of Montana are receiving very
good prices for their stock and
am sure they will be DESTROYS of
putting some OF this extra income
into Defense Savings. We older men
can well remember what followed
the last World War. What mental
torture and suffering we could have
avoided had we bought Liberty
Bonds instead Of expanding herds
and ranches! Many former ranchers
are on relief today because of I'M
wise purchases during the last war
boom. History always repeats.
Wars make and break people. The
more stamps and bonds one buys
the less chance of being among those
financially wrecked by the post war
deflation.
