OVER THE TOP

Mohave county and the rest of the country ''went the top last week in subscription the Second Lib ery Loan of 1917 This county subscribed $12 900 worth of Liberty bonds and there is every to presume that than five billions worth were subscribed throughout the nation Federal reserve banks have been labOrng week under the avalanche of subscriptions and have been unable to give definite statement of the grand total
 This is Americas to the challenge of the Ger man empire The seventh loan in Germany has just been completed and the great question in that warmad country was, What is America going to do? Now they know what America is going to do Five billion dollars for Freedom And many billions more will be subscribed if they are needed!
 There need be no further hesitancy regarding the course of this nation in the The die is cast and Amer lea measures up to the requirements American soldiers are in the trenches in France and more are coming Billions of dollars have been provided for carrying on the war, and billions will be forthcoming to carry it to suc- cessful conclusion.
 There is more effective combination in the world than American soldiers and Liberty bullets.
 Of course nobody would intimate such thing but we wonder how many of those bootegges manage to slip by the sleeping aier without disturbing his slumbers We would like to suggest that of those booeggers be placed at work repairing and improving the jail so the others can't break out From the way those fellows man age it. appears that the life of bOoegger is not half so bad that of editor for the editor can't break out of the newspaper game

Don't Knock Your Home Town.

The man who talks against his town
makes serious blunder, serious mis-
take. To do SO is to help to create a
sentiment against the place where he
makes his living, place which means
much to him at all times and especial
~ when it is prosperous, and this it
cannot be if the citizenship is continu-
billy finding some excuse to deplore it's
Existence. One of the essential things
In all towns is a successful business
To attack this organiza-
zion upon all occasions means that the
town is on the downgrade and that the
persons making the attacks are assist

The city beautifiers who have ex-

hat the state of Pennsylvania has an

Road employees have been instruct

In, to tear down all signs that may be

10 paint them out.
But what of the equally disfiguring

t the idea of the state that only land
Iwners may have license to disfigure

having learned a thing or two here
