ment is not possible. The Arizona banks are foferingto sell the bonds on a ten payment plan, allowing the pur chaser the interest on each installment at the same rate of interest the bonds will bear.
 There will be other plans adopted and l urge upon you the importance of betting behind the plan that may be offered by your bank-first of all by subscribing for some portion yourself, and then by urging your friends to do likewise IL is important that payment should DC made in i'll where possible but through self denial if necessary.
 This initial offering should be over subscribed many times in order that the nations of the world may know that our patriotism is real and that we will back our country in her fight not only through furnishing fighting men, but with all of our resources. There are only three weeks left in which to use our efforts, so we must enter now upon this fight to mobilize our dollars and each of us must do his share. thank you.

LIBERTY JOAN
 PLAN OUTLINED
 BY PH]ENICIAN

Much authoritative information with regard to the Liberty Loan was con Neyed in the address delivered in Los Angeles to the American Institute of Banking by W II. Thomson. cashier of the Phoenix National bank. Because of the importance of this address and the care with which it was compiled. MT Thomson has consented to have his paper published. He spoke as fol- lows:
 Mir. Toastmaster and Members of the
 Los Angeles Chapter of the A. I. B.;
 Your retiring president and board of governors were good enough to issue 10 me an invitation 10 attend your an nual banquet and I wish tO express my sincere appreciation Of their thoughtfulness. l have. of course, a very deep interest in Los Angeles chapter and have eagerly grasped at bits of news regarding you that have drifted over to Arizona and it seems very good to meet with you all once more.
 MT Otis suggested that I might say few words to you regarding the Li- berty Loan and while I know that every person here has given the mat ter careful thought, the seriousness of the matter makes it desirable to have
 
 The problems of the past few years have been varied and chief among them has been that of keeping this nation out of war Our patience has been tried in many ways until the climax was reached and we were forced to take the steps which have been taken. We found ourselves in a state of un- preparedness and so 1t is necessary that we apply our energy to the utmost in order that this nation may effectually defend it's honor and uphold the prin- cjUles for which it stands.
 The past two years have brought us unprecedented prosperity and we have to a great extent lived accordingly Now comes a turn in affairs-we are told that we are to continue to enjoy prosperous times but that we must de- fer the enjoyment of the fruits of la bOr and saving and share them with our government at this time and dur ing the period of the war, and if it is a long war, for many years to come. We are urged to conserve OUT present food supply and produce more food in order that those who are called to the colorS and thereby temporarily removed from productive enterprise may be cared for We all know that vast sums are neces- sary for the use of the government to successfully wage war, so the first call for the mobilization of funds comes in the appeal for subscriptions to the Liberty Loan.'
 The act which authorizes this loan was approved by our president on April 25th and calls for the issue of five bil- lions of bonds which it has since been decided are to be 1530 year bonds, meaning that they are to mature in thirty years but that they may be re- deemed by our government on or after June 15, 1882, in whole or in part, at par and accfGed interest. The act also authorized the issue of two billions of treasury certificates of indebtedness

Her negihbor, Mrs. L., had dropped into inquire about Red Cross movement in Phoe- nix and what was expected of the people in the present campaign. Their conversation was devoted entirely to the war

partially the reason that a greater number of our citizens are not coming forward as promptly as they should with their subscriptions. There Is, per haps little too much confidence that the loan will be oversubscribed but ability to carry the loan and actually doing it are different things.
 4 good way to bring home a reah- zati0n of individual responsibility is by dividing our population of roughly one hundred million into the present issue of two billions and we see that every person in this country is respon- sible for $2000 of the loan. If only one half of our people subscribe, it jumps to $40.00 per person and so on.
 that the banks. whose total resources reach some thirty five billions, should carry the burden, but it must be kept in mind that they have their natural functions to fulfill-that of furnishing credit for our industries-and must keep themselves in liquid condition in order to care for this great duty. They will of course carry their share and are now assisting in every way possible. They are planning in many localities to assist the public in making pur- chases on installments where full pay

PATRIOTISM |S SHOWN bY AUTO
 DEALERS EHIE EHIE ERE:

What can I do 10 show my patriot ism in a thoroughly practical and eff fectiVe manner This is the question which E. L. Cord of the Mckinney Cord Motor company, local Paige dis tributors is asking.
 Men in the motor car industry, like thousands in other lines have been asking that question-desiring. so far as they are Individually concerned to convert the wave of patriotism that has swept the country into something more useful than mere flag waving. Motor car manufacturers have already come forward with offers of their fac tories for government service. While it is not likely that many of these fac tories will be transformed sa.o runi- ions plants, yet the motor car and the motor truck will unquestiOnably be vastly important factor in military operations.
 Dealers and distributors, however, have not the same opportunities as the manufacturers and most of them will have to devise other ways of doing their bit. but what that bit shall be is the problem. One of the most import ant men in the Paige field organization has hit upon a plan that promises eX- cellent practical results. This distri- butor is c. L. Sturtevant, president of the Paige-Toledo company.
 MT. Sturteyant's plant has nothing to do with cars, trucks, armored ve- hicles or munitions but is . contribu- tiOn to the solution of the perplexing food problem. Being the owner of 9 good sized piece of land only twelve miles from ToledoNhe determined to make it not only productive hut use- ful to as many individuals as T0s lble. The soil is rich and well adapted tc'' raising of garden vegetables and fruits.
 It occurred to MT. Sturtevant that many of his employees would be glad to spend a portion of their time during the spring and summer raising vege- tables and fruit for the coming wir- ter. He offered therefore any mem Der of his staff who was willing to work the land all he could raise on an acre. The proposition was eagerly ac- cepted and the land was quickly al lotted among the Sturtevant salesmen. territory representatives and employees of the service and stock departments.
 The Paige Toledo company blows and prepares the land for the crops free of charge Each man is given day off each week to work his plot and he is also given transportation in Paige cars to and from the gardens. These men will therefore not only add to the production of food and help solve their own living problems, but will also have the benefit of very healthful activity. Here is one ex- ample of practical patriotism and un- doubtedly there are many other men throughout the country who can profit by this Paige distributors example.

One Of the most enjoyable occas-

all the descenants of the late Sheriff
Hector McNeill at Ardlussa, at his
late residence miles this side of
Fayetteville. Ardlussa was named
after the residence of the family in
the island of Jura, Scotland. The
meeting was a most enjoyable one,
and consisted of all the descendants
of the late sheriff McNeill-chi1dren,
grandchildren and great-grandchil-
dren. A most sumptuous feast was
provided by the present occupants,
