FOLLOWING ADVICE.
(5y WALT MAsoN.)


 Last spring wise people came around and said it was my duty to plant to spuds my garden ground, fore. going things of beauty. I'm fond of flowers and lovely buds. with care grow and treat them, and l have not much use for spuds, excepting wnen l eat them. But then the sages came along, with taunting sneers and joshes, and said my beds of flowers were wrong, l should be rasing sqUashes. The country needed sifted peas and other wholesome rations, not coluIn- pines and things like these, to feed the fighting nations. And so l planted peas and beans, uprooted all my lilies, and raised a thousand tons of greens, and now l have the willies. For no one seems to want the truck i raised with so much ardor; no man will blow a single buck to fill with it his larder. My neighbors all have done the same, great piles of fodder growing; tie wise guys steered them to the game, just as they set me going. No nation comes to buy my sass. no king or queen has rubbered and priced my peas or spar rowgrass, my sQuashes, plain or Hub bard. So lament my roses dead. my cup of sorrow drinking; next year the nation will be fed by someone else I'm thinking.

SECOND LOAN FOR LIBERTY.

 Uncle Sam has offered the American people the ond issue of government bonds-"Lberty Loan" bonds by which realize additional be applied ward the winning of the war.
 Thus the American public is given another opportun- y help the humanitarian upon which country, any other country embarked.
 The first Liberty Loan bond for s2OOOOOO. 900; this for sSOOOOoOOOO
 The response the first call, both point of popu, arity and in amount exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine of administrative officials. It oversubscribed by millions of dollars, and well within the allotted time
 To this second call the response should be general generous because unlike it's predecessor is not in innovation, and for the further that the American public is vvidy impress ed than then with the need which it is to meet and with the altruistc justice of
 The units into which the issue is divided in such denominations put them within the reach of incomeearnng citizen of the country and it is not only the privilege but the duty every patriotic American do his share.
 It should be borne in mind too, that Uncle Sam is asking the people give nothing but simply loan this

 As investment, United States government bond is the safest thing earth and among the outstanding advantages this of investment that these government bonds non-taxable. readily convert ibe into cash any time and of unquesoned avail ability collateral security any bank in the country.
 Every citizen who wants to help win the has opportunity through the agency his money; and every citizen should grasp the opportunity
 This loan should not only be subscribed in full but it should like the last one be over-subscribed
 By the degree of pIomptness and willingness the American people manifest in responding to this call of their government will in large part its efficacy be ured.
 For that reason the response should be prompt and liberal

PATRIOTIC SOLDIERS
 BUY LIBERTY BONDS

That the patriotism of the American soldier extends further than fighting for his country. exposing his life and surrendering his civic ambitions, has been aptly demonstrated in the Doug las district of late. Nearly S100,000 worth of Liberty bonds have been bought by the soldiers of that district during the last few days.
 The purchase of Liberty bonds has not been limited to the officers of the several organizations stationed in the Arizona district, but includes the en- listed men as well. II is understood that several hundred of the enlisted men, privates as well as non-commis- stoned officers. have purchased the bonds, remitting portion of their money each month to the government to help defray the expense of the fight they will risk their lives to make success.
 All of the men who have purchased Liberty bonds have done it of their own initia i've. Though in some in stances it is understood the men of certain organization have banded to- gether to make a group purchase.
 The enlisted men of the Seventeenth cavalry stationed there. it is under stood, have bough. more than Sl7,0O0 worth of Bonds. Two companies of the Twenty-ffth infantry have bought S27,0OO worth of the bonds. It is said that the men of the Eleventh Field battery are also buying the bonds, as are the men of he Tenth battery. Ac- cording to the most reliable informa- ton it is confidently believed that prac- tically every soldier in the district will have bought bond before December
