GAINES MAKES FINAL
STATEMENT ON WORK
FOR The LIBERTY LOAN
County Sales Manager Leaves
Bisbee to Take Up Other
Work. He Tells of Great
Record Set by Cochise
County.

]. N Gaines. head of the Liberty
Loan drive in Cochise county. finished
his labors yesterday and left the city
to begin his new work on the county
road bond election campaign. His
work, and that of his lieutenants. is
beyond compare. Cochise excelled any
county in the Dallas district, having
subscribed 26S per cent on the big
loan. Three millions of Liberty bonds
for one Arizona county makes them
all look sick when they start to crow
and the noise dies in their throat
Before he left Mr. Gaines issued the
following statement:
The period for the sale of the sec
ond Liberty Loan bonds has closed,
the people in Cochise county having
responded literally and periodically.
The several communities throughout
the county have worked faithfully as
well in spreading the gospel for any
future Liberty Loans as in obtaining
| subscriptions for the second.
mot many disappointments have
been reported from any source. Those
who have refused have been carefully
noted. Those who have been indif-
ferent or have shown a lack of true
patriotism have been as carefully list
ed. The fact that We are really en-
gagged in a gigantic struggle for the
preservation of a worlds democracy
/ is beginning to be more generally real.
| lied since the thorough canvass made
by the Liberty Loan working commit
tees throughout Cochise county. The
number of personal subscriptions
among people of moderate means has
more than quadrupled over the sub.
scriptions to the first Liberty Loan.
The time should not be far distant
when the only reason for any person
not responding to the governments
needs in loans for Liberty bonds or
donations for Red Cross, aiding nj
the unfortunate women and children
among the countries of our allies, or
any other necessity of our government
in helping to speedily win this war,
will be physical inability to earn more
than a modest living.
"The selective draft has called tn
flower of our young manhood into
the national army to prepare them
for their duties as soldiers. Then we
have the volunteering of the best pro-
fessional men. ranging from the draft
age up, among whom are medical men
engineers and other technical men

render the government the best serv-
ice that is in them. In all this, Stats
teal information supports the asser-
ton that Arizona is doing her bit by
furnishing higher percentage of her
American population in the national
army. on account of having such
large alien population, and this ratio
is maintained, il not exceeded, by vol
unteers of professional men over the
draft age.
The number of doctors in the serv-
ice of the United States government
from Arizona on September l was
1876 per cent of the medical popula-
ton of the state. The highest per-
centage of the medical population of
any other state in the United States
is from Pennsylvania, which Furnished
Is per cent Florida next with 14.6 per
cent and ranging down to per cent
from Wyoming.
"Th9 high percentage of Arizona is
more than maintained by Cochise
county in its relation with the OTHER
counties in the state in furnishing
medical men. A number of our doc
tors are now in the active service and
large majority of those remaining
with us have volunteered and are sub
ject to call.
"Cochise county is represented in
France at the present time by two
of our most worthy citizens and sub
stantial business men, who have vol
unteered their services to the business
management of the Red Cross for the
period of the war. and are admins
tering to suffering humanity among
our allies without the hope of fee OF

And now come the noble, men.
women and children who are destined
to stay at home, and have responded
with their money in the purchase of
Liberty bonds of the second Liberty
Loan. as well as the first. with a total
subscription of over $3.000,000. which
represents 26S per cent of the gov
ernments call upon Cochise county at
this time.
at is a safe prediction that no other
county or district in the whole coun-
try will equal the percentage of over
subscription of dear old Cochise III
the other districts in the United States
should over subscribe in the same
ratio it would represent more than
$4,000, 100000 OF this we are Justly
proud.
