l A. A. JONOlONy IOWH ClcTh.- "With the short time for the prepara- tion of the Patriotic parade I think the Elk's made a very good showing in the parade. The patriotic spirit is strong here"
 c. w. LEHR, Militia Captain.- Recruiting for the Arizona regment is progressing rapidly in many sec tions of the state. We hope Flagstaff will help in keeping up the good record of Arizona for quick res- ponse to the appeal for men,"
 JOE WILSON, Bank Cashier.- "We shall make no change for acting as agents between the government and those wishing to subscribe to the proposed government war bonds. De- tails of the war bonds have not yet been worked out, so they cannot be secured for a while yet"
 JOHN METZ, barber.-"Uncle Sam will soon make it the closed season for submarining in the seas"
 w. F. JAEGER, merchant.-"Grow- ing potatoes, lettuce, beets, peas and other vegetables are real adornments for rear yards and gardens"
 M. I. POWERS, banker.-"Banking resources of this country are strong beyond comprehension. Thriving con- dition of country banks indicates four ishing rural quarters"
 F. W. LESSER, Santa Fe R. R. Good music is the Jacobs ladder that joins earth to heaven. Boost for our local band"
 P. M. FALDER, barber.-"The pol itical complexion of the world will be greatly changed and vastly improved within the next decade"
 T. A. RIORDAN, lumberman.- Thoughtful persons should exercise care in not spreading alarming re- ports as to war dangers within the state. These exaggerated rumors frighten the timid and nervous and do far more harm than good. The work of preparedness is proceeding satis- factorily and needs no stimulation by such doubtful methods as falsifcation or exaggeration as to perilous condi- tions."
 J N. ADAMS, Teacher Normal school.-"It is, in very truth, a self protectional, as we'll as a patriotic duty, to encourage the young men of this community in helping to fill the Arizona regiment"
 ED. I. PARKER, Automobile deal er.-"Arizona should make its militia " preparedness sufficiently formid- able to thwart whatever assault might be made upon this state, from any source. Help fill up the Arizona regi- ment.'
 T. E. POLLOCK, banker.-"The National authorities are determined that immense fortunes shall not be made out of filling war orders. The government will not guard the Ma ton against the open foe without, but also against insidious greed within. The people shall not be plundered while the conflict is on."
 J. c. McEVAN, lumberman.-"At this trying time a newspaper like the Coconino Sun is most valuable in any community. It is free from sensation alism and does not distort the facts in order to play up story. It gives the news carefully compiled and truthfully set forth"
 FRANK BENNETT, fuel dealer.- Flagstaff during the past week is showing it's patriotism. In whatever form the Nation, the state or the com- munity itself needs protection, it will be forthcoming. There is a strong impulse on every hand to give useful service as each individual is capable of giving. Men and women alike are showing their love for the Flag"
 H. KAHL, druggist.-"It seems to be the aim of the Coconino Sun to give all the news proper for publica- tion, without prejudice or bias. Both the local and the important happen ings of this community are told in straightforward way, without exag- geration or warping. Every news item sems to be as authentic as possible"
 J. c. DOLAN, lumberman.-"Patri- otism has become gigantic, partisan politics has become pigmy, almost in night, in this country. The entrance of this country into the war has transformed public sentiment. The mind of the American has broadened, his patriotism has been intensified. Throughout the country men of every party and political creed are rallying to the support of the government. WI
