EVERY WOMAN
CAN HELP NEXT
LIBERTY LOAN
Woman’s Committee for
Twelfth Federal Reserve
District to Form an
Organization
By MRS. A. S. BALDWIN
(Chairman Woman’s Liberty Loan
Committee, Twelfth Federal
Reserve District)
Now that we are actively in the war
and our men are in the front line
trenches; are being killed; are being
gassed; are being maimed for life, it
would seem that every woman in the
land should be In the front ranks of
the civilian workers to help the men
win the war.
Each of us has her part to play,
****wever small it may be, and whether
It be great or small it is of importance
that each shall perform her part to
the utmost of her ability.
Some can buy Liberty Bonds, some
can influence others to buy. Perhaps
some can only help by conserving the
use of food and clothing and by econ
omizing In household expenditures,
thus liberating and augmenting the
essentials which must be sent “over
there”’ for the use of our army and
for the destitute civilian population of
our allies.
In whatever way each woman of
this Twelfth Federal Reserve District
can help, let her do her utmost that
we who are farthest from the front
may sustain our part of the struggle,
and keep for ourselves and our chil- j
dren the blessings and privileges we
have inherited, and thus make it pos-.
sible to win like blessings for the mil
lions who are now In. actual bondage.
We should not only save to help,
but the great lesson to be learned also j
Is to do now without non-essentials and
to make, saori flees so that the labor 1
which produces what we consider to j
be even essentials may be used to I
produce those things which are actu-1
ally essential for the support and i
of who are carrying the ;
burden of this unprecedented struggle
for freedom and democracy.
The aim of the Woman’s Liberty j
Doan Committee is to form an organi
sation which shall make the woman
in every home in the land realize
these oonditlong and her responsi
bility, that the message shall not
reach her only from one direction, but
from many, so that she shall be
brought to a full realization of her
responsibility.
PAY THAT DEBT,
SAYS BILL HART
William S. Hart, of moving picture
la ona of the enthusiastic ad
vocates for a general response to the
-«w Government's appeal for subscrip
tions to its Liberty Loans. Here Is
what Hart saye:
"Every American who has accepted
the great blessing that God has given,
and has lived the large and free life
bought by the blood of many brave
and devoted men, aud passed ou to us
ft priceless heritage, has a chance
now to repay.
"It la for him at this instant to
teetlfy to the world what he knows
he owes hi* country.
"He should at o*ice, and cheerfully,
five a little of his goods that hit
country has secured to him.
"He should promptly sav to the
world, which Is listening, and perhaps
cynically criticising: ‘When my coun
try asks me for life or for money I
cheerfully offer both.’
"He should demonstrate that pa
triotism is something greater and
more sacred than an idle sentiment.
*And In contributing according to
hit means for the high purpose placed
before him by his President, he should
appreciate that in reality lie is mak
ing no gift, but is Investing In the
greatest security in the world—THE
PLEDGE OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA.”
A BADGE OF HONOR
.. ■—
A Liberty Loan button is a badge
of honor. Rightfully obtained it marks
the wearer as one who has performed
a distinct, definite service to the
country.
Hot all can fight, not all can work
directly for the Government; but in
buying a Liberty Loan Bond, or War
Savings Stamps, every American ren
der* some service to the nation. It
ha* been put within the reach and
power of every citizen to aid the
United States financially; it is a poor
American who withholds support from
the Government, from our soldiers and
bailors fronting death on battlefields
and oceans.
Iron crosses to German soldiers,
and diamond orders exchanged be
tween Turkish and German sovereigns
may be but the honors of atrocity.
But a Liberty Loan button, simple as
It is, signifies a patriotic duty done
v and is an insignia of honor.
“All that our soldiers need Is a still
better rear organization/’ Georga
Ciemenceau, former Premier of
France, Jan. 14, 1916. it la up to you
to provide that by buying Liberty
gonde.
EIGHTEEN FROM
YUMA MUFF
YUMA, April 30.- The patriotism
of Yuma county was again made evi
dent Saturday. Although but fifteen
young men wpre called to the colors
from this district, eighteen presented
themselves in the. office of the local
board and not one would agree to
stay behind. Every one of the eigh
teen was clear-eyed, eager, patriotic
and in every way desirable and deter
mined to go. As the board hau no
power to send more than the piota,
a message was sent to the adjutant
general’s office in Phoenix for the
proper authority, which resulted in
the acceptance of the entire eighteen
They were given a splendid send
off and one which will make pleasant
memories to them and the people
who gathered to bid them goodbye,
for such occasions are not only of The
moment, they linger in the heart
when the soldier dreams of home and
the ones left behind keep a remem
brance of their men at the front as
they appeared on the last day. At
two o’clock the Yuma quota marched
into the hall at the Elks’ Club where
a large crowd of citizens awaited
them. Miss Pauseh opened the pro
gram by singing, “Somewhere in
France is a Lily,” accompanied by
Miss Haughtelin at the piano. The
applause was so insistent that Miss
Pauseh was obliged to repeat the
chorus. Then Judge Westover made
a ten minute talk, short but impres
sive. His words were aflame with
patriotism and he was obliged to
pause repeatedly for the applause of
the audience that voiced approval of
the splendid sentiments expressed.
Never was a speech more appropriate
to the time, and the occasion. When
he made the announcement that be
had been called to the telephone a
few T minutes before to receive the an
nouncement that the message from
Phoenix granted them all leave 'o*go
the selectives made manifest their
satisfaction by a vigorous demonstra
tion. At the cdose of his speech
Judge Westover called each man by
name and presented him with a com
fort kit made at the Red Cross head
quarters by the women of the Delta
Club and fitted out by the Red Cross.
All joined in singing the “Star Span
gled Banner,” led by Miss Pauseh.

FOODS TASTE BETTER COOKED
—TOBACCO TASTES BETTER
TOASTED
Since the day of the caveman, who
liked his meat raw, civilization has
learned a lot about the scientific treat
ment of the things we eat.
Naturally none of us would now
prefer to have our meat raw, our po
tatoes as they come from the ground,
our coffee un roasted.
And naturally follows the great dis
covery recently made by The Ameri
can Tobacco Co.—that tobacco tastes
better TOASTED!
This wonderful new idea—simple
like all great inventions —was first
used in producing the famous LUCKY
STRIKE Cigarette—made of toasted
Burley tobacco.
Burley has a mellow flavor, entirely
different from the tobacco usually
used for cigarettes. It is a pipe to
bacco and LUCKY STRIKE C igarettes
taste like a pipe.
FARMERS! THIS IS
YOUR WAR. BUY
LIBERTY BONDS
Success of Teutonic Arms Spells
Despoliation for Ameri

Let us think for a while how the
war concerns the fanner.
Me went to war with Germany
partly because the rulers of that
country refused to let us send to
Europe our ships laden with grain
and cotton. They sunk the ships and
cruelly murdered our sailors. Now
suppose we allowed them to stop all
our shipping, where would you be?
None of your goods would be sold
in foreign countries, with the result
that you would get nothing like the
prices which you get today. This war
is being waged partly that you may
obtain fair prices for your goods.
What is going to happen if we
lose this w r ar? Prices of farm pro
duce will drop; the Germans will
impose taxation upon you which will
cripple you for the next twenty years.
Worse Than that, if the Germans get
over here, they will treat you in just
The same way as they have the farm
ers of France, Belgium and Italy. In
ihese sections farm houses have been
shot, to pieces, crops wasted and
burned; even fruit trees chopped
down, the cattle stolen, the men sent
Mito slavery to work for German
masters, their women ill-treated in
wavs that cannot be talked of in
print, their little children have had
their hands chopped off in order that
th ey may never fight or do any more
Tseful work again.
011 ma 5' s &y “such things will not
happen here.” They said this in
France, in Belgium and in Italy. Such
things will happen here just as sure
as you are alive, unless we smash
the Germans so utterly that they are
unable to reach this country. The
rerman fleet and the German army
will take just one week to get here
it we are beaten. They have made
ip their minds that America shall
pay.
Is there a farmer who will stand
forward now and say, “This war does
not concern me?”
You have money that you do not
need at present. Loan it to the Gov
ernment at good interest; when you
want the money back again, you can
borrow on your bond, or sell it. Uncle
Sam will take 'care of your money
until you need it and pay you Interest
on it.
Go and buy a Liberty Bond to
morrow. .
Don’t be a slacker, and don’t fool
yourself with the idea that you are
too far away from the war for it to
hurt you. Remember 1914, when the
Germans upset the world’s shipping,
and you took what you could get for
your products. *
Think of the twenty years starva
tion prices ahead of you, in case we
are beaten.
This is your war, and if you won’t
get in it you deserve to lose your
American Citizenship.
Call in at the bank tomorrow', and
talk it over. -» ,
Third Liberty Loan
By Celia Louise Crittenton
Seriously considered, with insight
| Rid understanding, the Third Liberty
! Loan means but: one thing— stability,
j Hie unification of Government and
j people.
The much or' little which the peo
| pie place at the hands of the Goveru
| rnent, proportionate to what they pos

j che voice of the people but aS well
she united will and force of the peo
ple against a war which threatens to
i ingulf the whole national family.
We are being just to ourselves If
we place our money where it is safe
And we are living up to the dictates
of our national conscience, which also
! is our family conscience.
The most safe and reasonable in
; vestment possible Is with our Govern
| tnent. For the Government is but
yurselves viewed through the magni

| If we were born in the United
States we love our birthplace. It is
oome. If we were allowed to adopt
; he United States that offered to us
i nore than our oppressing birth-coun
j try; offered to us more freedom, a
| wider scope, then through that adop
tion we have gained a Privilege
! worthy of even greater devotion and
! love.
; So, let us all be glad that a Third

We must not and shall not wait
