V. G. DAMON Editor and Manager ANSON H. SMITH Mining Editor Subscription rates $3 per year, payable in advance YOUR FRIEND, UNCLE SAM, NEEDS A LOAN FROM YOU Once again our government is asking for our money. The Fourth Liberty Loan, to be opened for subscription September 28 is our opportunity to lend. With the faith that characterizes her progress, our nation has called for a sum larger than any of the previous loans called for a sum larger than most of us can com prehend. Six billion dollars, for the immediate use of our army and navy departments is the minimum with which the Government can be satisfied at present. As yet, we have not begun to feel the burden of pro viding the government with funds. Neither as a nation nor as individuals do we come in the class with the other belligerents in the matter of financial obligation. Compare the ratio of national debt to the total wealth of the nations at war: , Germany 37 per cent France 37 per cent Great Britian 45 per cent United States 5 per cent We have not tapped the surface of our national wealth in our quest for war financing. Nor do we as individuals carry a heavy per capita burden. Against Germany's $450; France's $550, Great Britian's $600; Italy's $190; Austria's $380; place the United States' $115. One hundred and fifteen dollars is not much to owe for our country, is it? What one of us is here who would hesitate to assume that obligation for a friend, not to men tion one whom we owe all that means most in life to us. We might give the country that hundred and fifteen dollars which it figures is the debt of each of us; give that sum before we begin to invest for ourselves. But the Gov v. At does not ask that, does not expect that. It asks to borrow what we can save and earn in this hour of spec ial need Marshal Foch says: "The will to win is half the bat tle."

The Surgeon General's reports in July covered some; two ana a nan minion men, aoout naii ui mem m r imice or enroute. Some of them were then participating in the heavy fighting near the Marne, sleeping and eating any way they could. All these men were away from home subject to a novel regimen. The death rate from dis ease among them was a trifle under two a year out of each thousand. For men of military age in civil life the death rate from disease is three times as high. i As more of our soldiers are subjected to the rigors of battle-line life, and during a longer period, this death rate may rise somewhat. But though science multiplies weapons of destruction, it also safeguards the soldier from other risks that were formerly as deadly as bullets. In the Mexican War the death rate from disease was at the rate of 100 a year out of every 1000- In the Civil War the rate in 1862 was 40 of a 1000, but next year it rose to 60 a 1000. The disease rate in the Spanish-American War was 255 a 1000. In Russo-Japanese War it was 20 a 1000. This is a great offset to battle losses.

Elmo Bollinger ATTOKNEY-AT-LAW Citiviu- Bank Bldg. hlNCMAIs. - - ARIZONA PLAYING THE HUN GAME Over confidence has cost many a near-winner the vic tory that was in his grasp. The Allies have won tremendous successes recently in France, not the least great of which was the premier operation of the First American Army, whose preparation for battle caused the Germans to hastily evacuate the St. Mihiel salient. The war still is not won. The Hun will battle fiercely for every inch of the German soil that must be occupied before the Kaiser is forced to the complete surrender that will end the war. It would be fatal to our hopes of an early victory for America to lessen its war efforts in the slightest degree. American troops are pouring overseas by hundreds of thousands a month. American shipyards are turning out monthly scores of the ships needed to carry men, mun itions and food overseas. American food products are feeding all of the allied armies and much of the allied civil population in Europe America's war chest must remain full to overflowing. The Fourth Liberty Loan will give America opportun ity to voice its war call: "WE have just begun to fight." Over-confidence, expressed in any lessening of the most vigorous war efforts possible, is playing the German game, the same game of behind-the-line propoganda which has won Germany's most notable victory, the disruption of Russia. America's answer to the treachery of Lenine and Trotsky, who were paid German gold to surrender a whole nation to, the Boche yoke, must be an overwhelming over subscription to the Fourth Liberty Coan-' If You Want Your Work Dun.; Right, go to the best equipped machine and blacksmith whop in Arizona.

"Exempted, nothing doing," so he kissed his new-made bride, And went to old Camp Freemont to help to swell the tide Of American boys in kahki who are going "Over There" To battle for Democracy and help to make a square Deal for the little children who are coming bye and bye, And in the cause of freedom, to dare, to do, to die. The Camp was rough, the work was hard, the Lieutenant seemed severe, But every day at roll call, Private Hilty answered, "Here." He responded to discipline and tried to do his best, To be a credit to the boys from this glorious sun-kiessed West He tvas born in the land of sand and sage, where men are made of steel, But 'neath that common cotton coat is a heart that seems to feel For every living soul on earth a love that is devine, With courage too that will endure throughout the tide of time. "Our fight is right, our cause is just, this fact that world must know For Kings and Queens and Despots too, Time has decreed must go, The thrones of Kings will lie in dust, with slave chains of the past, And right will triumph over wrong and Love will reign at last. "Exempted, nothing doing," so little wife rejoice, And mother too, be glad your boy has made a hero's choice, A And when the boys come marching home, may your loving arms embrace, Private Hilty, just from Berlin, who has won a Hero's place. And on the page of history, may it smetime there appear, "Exempted, nothing doing," that our modern volunteer, For men like these, to alii the world oil srrw, bring surcease, And help the Brtherhood of Man, to live at last in Peace. GENERAL SUGAR CONSERVATION la sugar necessary ia the diet? Neither cane nor beet sugar la necessary. In the average American diet all the sugar needed may ordi narily be supplied by using honey, sirups, fresh, pre served and dried fruits. What are the general sugar saving rules? Use all sugar sparingly and wherever possible nse other sweeteners. Be sparing of confections and sweet cakes. The American people last year spent enough money for candy to feed all Belgium for two years. Supplement sugar with honey and sirups. Cultivate a taste for fruit in its natural sweetness. Sugar is a fuel food. Get fuel from potatoes and other starchy foods rather than from sugar. Sugar excels them as an energy-food only because it pro duces energy more quickly. They excel sugar since they supply more than merely the fuel need. How may the sugar ration be expressed in quantities known to everyone? . Two pounds, per month means about 8 ounces per week, or a little more than 1 ounce a day. This daily ration is a trifle more than 2 tablespoons level full. It should be remembered that this is to include all sugar used for any purpose whatsoever for table use, cooking, in ice cream and desserts, on cereals or fruit, in sugar sirups used on griddle cakes, etc. VTCfj S JK SSfJStif i"""" BKfl Plumbing, Steam Fitting Sheet Metal Work A.
