NORTHERN ARIZONA ID DO SHARE IN THE
 LIBERTYLOAN CAMPAIGN

PHOENIX, Oct. 13-Declaring that the five counties of Northern Arizona will greatly over-subscribe the amount allotted to them in the Liberty Loan campaign, H. D. Aitken, who has charge of Yavapai, Mohave, Coconino, Apache and Navajo Counties, was in Phoenix yesterday in conference with the members of the executive commit tee.
 Plans for united and vigorous ac- ton in the North were discussed, and will be immediately put in action. Mr. Aitken was enthusiastic in his appeal to the people of Arizona to contribute literally to the loan fund.
 "Men, munitions and money-these are the sinews of war;" he declared. "At the present time the greatest need of the United States Government is money. She must have it to ren- der the best possible help to herself and the allies.
 "To put the burden of our share in this struggle for democracy as far as possible on the present generation, rather than shift it to our children, is the governments avowed intention.
 "Our government has very sensibly voted to expend large sums at once so that the war may be brought to a successful and early termination. This is not only a wise economy, but will result in saving many human lives.
 'To raise this money the govern ment has issued Liberty Bonds for which we must subscribe. These bonds bear a 4 per cent rate of inter est, and mature in twenty-five years. Back of them stands the entire wealth of our United States.
 "At the present rate of interest the Liberty Bonds afford an opportunity for safe investment with reasonable profit. But even if they did not, in the words of Jay Cook, what we need now is patriotism and not money mak- ing In this second Liberty Loan of 1917, the government has combined both.
 Buying a liberty bond at this time is sound business. It is an invest ment, which has for it's security the entire riches of our nation. It is our patriotic duty to do that which is now within our power and which counts for most at this time.'
