The patriotic meeting at Brier's

affair. A large number of peo-
pie were present and enjoyed the
program of speaking, music and
song. The. singing of patriotic
songs, led by Mrs. }. A. Mcneil,
by the audience was feature
that evoked much enthusiasm.

Cross Association and as a re-
suit of the address of Judge

sage to some loved one, am will
see that it is delivered. And she
will endeavor to lessen the blow,
to ease some of the pain for this
loved one by soft and courtly
speech. She is known the world
over as a good mother, a gentle
and far-seeing mother, a mother
that crOons as she rocks the
cradle through the dark hours of
the night; a mother that smiles
with the dawn, uncomplaining,
sympathetic, and though watch
ing her babe with anxious, care
worn eyes, she is ever ready
with a CHEEKY word, some loving
deed, a cool hand, ready to serve
and give.
Yes. She is a good mother.
Her cause is a good cause, and a
necessary arm of the service, for
without her aid war would be
horrible beyond expression.
Therefore, if you would do a
good thing, help her help the
helpless, this ministering angel
of the army. this mother of
mothers, and in so doing you
will lay up for yourself treasure
of treasures, thoughts Of having
contributed your bit toward the
welfare of some human being;
perhaps you will have saved a
life you can be sure you have
alleviated suffering and made
more comfortable some bed of
pain. What greater blessing
than the thought of duty well
done, and what greater duty
than that of aiding our fellow
man?
Mother of the Army we salute
thee and thy noble work. May
the gods be good to thee. Greet
ings. "-Hassayampa Miner.

TO MOTHERS

Don't you hear them calling, mothersi
Don't you hear the sons of others
Calling to you Ger the sea?
They are fighting there for freedom
In that awful hellish din,
For protection of the weaker
For rights we must uphold them in.
Can't you hear the mothers weeping?
Can't you hear their voices seeking
Help and comfort from the West?
They have given up their bravest,
Seen them fall like soldiers true,
Many, many all around them
Hark! they're calling, calling you!
They call you to send forth your son
To win the fight that must be won
For freedom S cause, for liberty.
Our nations life, too, is at stake
A free worlds fate hangs in the, scale
While valiant millions bravely die,
Shall we, whose pride is Freedom, fall
Then waver not, ye mothers brave.
Think how the other mothers gave
For freedom 8 cause, for God and man
The sons they loved. Shall you do lessi
Send forth your sons tho they be slair
AS were the sons of those who call.
o, do not let them call in vain.

By the plan announced by the
Southern Pacific executive, any
employee can, upon request, have
the company subscribe in his be-
half for any amount of bonds de-
sired, not exceeding Is per cent
of his salary, and the company
will advance the whole subscrip.

to the subscriber with accrued
interest when the advance has
been repaid.
On account of the tax exempt
feature of the bonds, the rate of

NO SUBSTITUTES

One provision of the new army
bill which will command univer-
sal attention and satisfaction is
Section 3, which provides that
no substitute can be employed or
hired to replace men who are
called into the country's service
under the plan of selective con-
scription.
This provision originated in the
House, in the form of an amend
ment by Congressman Hayden,
Of Arizona. and was passed by a
large majority. The Senate re-
tained the section so that it is
now a part of the selective draft
law.
AS passed, not only is a person
who is subject to service and ap-
proved by the officers prohibited
from hiring a substitute for mon
ey or any other valuable consid-
GRAFTON, but no substitute will be
permitted to enter the army or
to receive any valuable consider
alton for so doing. The purpose
is to make every man, rich or
poor, no matter what his station
in life, serve his country if he
meets the physical and other re-
quirements.
And this is as it should be.
This is a war for the benefit of
the whole nation, for the cause
of freedom and democracy every
where; and there should be no
favoritism, no substituting, no
bargaining, by which one man
can hire another to do his duty
for. him. COLORADO SPRINGS

WHY LIBERTY LOAN?"

The S., 900, 600, 600 bond issue

1t is the loan of a liberty-lov-
ing people TO be devoted to the
establishment of liberty in Eu-

1t is the loan of the great

THRIFT AND LIBERTY LOAN BONDS

There is a great campaign for
thrift being conducted all over
the United States thrift in pro-
duction by the farmer and other
producers, thrift in economy in
use and consumption by all per-
sons, and thrift in saving. This
thrift campaign is nationwide.
Not only have business, manu-
featuring, agricultural and other
associations and individuals taken
up this campaign, but it has been
carried into universities, colleges
and schools.
In connection with the last
aspect of this thrift campaign,
that of saving, the Liberty Loan
Bonds of 1917 offer an ideal in
vestment of savings for small in
vestors. No other small invest
ment, or large one either, for
that matter, has quite the ad-
vantages that the Liberty Loan
Bond has. Savings invested in a
Liberty Loan Bond are just as
safe as it is possible to make
them and will constantly draw
interest. While the interest is
only 81 per cent, the bonds being
non-taxable make the investment
the equivalent of a 5 or 6 per
cent interest-drawing investment
in ordinary securities.
Not only is the investment alb
solutely safe but it is practically
us readily converted into money
as a United States Treasury note.
70 dispose of one of these Liberty
Loan Bonds may require the
owner to go to a bank instead OF
passing it over any counter. Yet
this is an advantage. The trouble
and time required to convert the
bond into cash will give the own
er time for thought and recon
sideration, and it is not improb-
able that in many instances the
result will be that the savings in
vested in Liberty Loan BOND
will be preserved intact where
savings in money would be spent
in part if not in whole.
There is one other incident to
De considered in regard to the
purchase of a Liberty Loan Bond.
The investment has a nature
which should appeal to every
American citizen. 1t is backing
our Governuent, helping the
winning of a victory for Ameri-
ca in war. This has.no money
value, but it has value not to
be measured in dollars and cents.

THE MOTHER OF THE ARMY

The Red Cross is the mother
of the army. 1t is she who laves
the gaping wound with lint and
healing ointments; who gives
cheer when cheer is so sorely
needed; who consoles the boy
soldier when his soul is sick and
his body racked with fever and
misery. When he is fretful,
restless, tossing, she quiets him
by her presence. She brings
delicacies to tempt his failing ap-
petite, little luxuries SO much
needed and impossible of getting
in any other manner. She takes
the humps out of his pillow and
tucks in his blankets. She lauds
his bravery and holsters his cour-
age when the pain is great, and
hides meath motherly raillery his
weak moments. And if it be so
she closes his eyes as he enters
upon the long sleep, a prayer on
her lips for his soul, and a tear
in her eye that such things must
