HUMANITY AND
THE LIBERTY BOND
By Mabel 7. Boardman Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross.

Never in history has such suffering
been caused by war as at the present
day Millions of men have been kill
ed or wounded and millions in one
form or another crippled for life. The
progress that had been made towards
the elimination of tuberculosis has
been checked and the white plague is
adding its hundreds of thousands of
victims to the numbers of the slain.
Millions of innocent, helpless old men,
women and little children have suf-
fered and multitudes of them have
died in massacres or from famine and
disease To all this physical suffer
ing must be added the mental anxiety
and distress of hundreds of millions
of peoples whose nations are engaged
in this fearful strife. The sum total
of human misery, death, destruction
and devastation is beyond all magma
ton.
To help bring this awful condition
to an end is the duty and privilege of
every man, woman and child in Amer
lea. Civilization turns to this great
nation as its savior from the spirit
of militarism. which is so largely re-
sponsible for this worldwide calam-
ity of war.
Everyone who subscribes to the
Liberty Bonds does his or her part in
liberating the world from the horrors
of the present strife; in the lessen
ing of the suffering of myriads of our
fellow men and in the saving of the
lives of the soldiers and sailors Of
the fighting forces. Into this effort
for humanity, as we'll as for our coun-
try, everyone should throw their
whole heart and soul. The sooner the
war is over the better for the world.
Let everyone then realize their duty
in supporting the government by the
subscription to the Liberty Bonds. that
America may be the great power
which viii end this war and all its
horrors.

II the Republic Tomorrow.

From a outlaw with a price on his
head, to 100 per cent citizen is the
character portrayed by Dustin Far
nun, famous star of stage and screen,
in the latest William Fox photoplay,
''Durand of the Bad Lands, to be
shown at the Republic Theatre tomor-
row.
In this screen drama. Mr.. Farnum
shows all the virile energy for which
he is so well known. His portrayal of
the bad side of Dick Durand's charsc-
ter is the best he has done and, he
shows the mans softer, nohler in-
stincts with that carefree, rollickig,
laughing disposition that has made
him favorite wherever he has ap-
peared.
He saves three kids from Indians
who massacre everyone else in the lit
tie settlement. He is blamed for the
killings, is caught, tried and convicted.
| But the governor, whose daughter ne
has saved pardons him. Long before
he had fallen in love and the, girls
fondness for him turns him into an
A. No. man. Mr.. Farnum's boyhood
life on farm comes in handy to him
in this picture milking cows partiCu-
larly.
Those who love the beautiful, the
daring, the goodness in motion pictures
had better not miss this fine photo
drama. In it Mr.. FarBum lives up TO
his best work either on stage or
screen. Here he is full of that strong
manhood that has made him known
ana loved all over the country. You'll
lh& him even as an outlaw because
<S6sll know that a man with so big q
SAeart as Dick Durand cannot long re
Min sn outcast. You'll see him res
cu9sfrom an Indian massacre three
children and you'll laugh as he tries
to care for them. When the governor
pardons him and ne goes back 10 the
only girl who ever gave him a wh1le
hearted love and to those three chill
dren, you'll weep with the glad knowl-
edge that heart is once again beat
ing on the right side.
Mr.. Farnum has done no better
work on the screen than he has accom-
piished in Durand of the Bad Lands. :"
He has story with many thrills, and
he gets them all across. And in addi-
tion be has clean story.

LOYAL ORDER OF MOOSE
Starts With Extra Large Mem
bership

Last night at the Masonic
!, Hall the Loyal Order of Moose
had the pleasure of receiving
to it's great order, one hundred
and twenty five more charter
members
The work started about 7:30
in the evening and lasted until
way late at night. The biggest
time being witnessed that any
man in Nogales ever went thru.
The officers were: Mr.. Jones,
Buchanon, Evans, Butler, Eusey,
McNeal, Kempton, Rittenhouse,
Davis, Bruner, Tovrea, Loos,
F'leisher, and Warran. Without
a doubt, this is the best lot of
men that were ever selected in
Nogales, and the membership
is very enthusiastic over them
with every man at the wheel,
and by the way things point out
the Nogales Order No. 879 will
be a leader not only in Nogales
but any where and any time.
They got also a fine lot of young
enthusiastic Soldier poys from
the 35th Infantry among them
being about % members of the
Military band which goes a long
ways to keep up the good pep
and have every member on the
Jump.
1t was the best and most
enthusiastic lot of young men
that ever came together, with
one good aim, which is belong
ing to the Loyal Order of Moose.

sale and storage of high eXplo-
sives are not understood gen
orally, and he has suggested
making public these facts:
Everyone buying high ex-
plosives, whether in large OF
small quantities, must be
licensed to do so, making a de-
claration under oath, before the
licensing agent as to the pur-
poses for which their use is
desired.
Corporations must secure q
license to purchase and store.
In addition to the corporation
license their. foreman must have
a license to issue. This regula-
ton applies also to individuals
prosecuting work requiring use
of such explosives under direc-
tion of a foreman.
Those receiving licenses ar:
given a blank showing the man
ner in which they are to keep
a record of receipt and dis
position of explosives.
The law and regulations went
into effect yesterday (Decem-
ber 10,) and handling, storing
purchasing and selling high ex-
plosives without license are pre-
hibited by law, with severe
penalties for violation.

The Alternative

British and Canadian recruit
ing officers here were not sur
prised by the Senate's adoption
of the Chamberlain resolution
to draft alien slackers into the
United States Army. The.
have regarded as inevitable
some such action, either by
means of a treaty with the
other allies or by an indepen-
dent law, ever since this coun-
try entered the war.
"Our mission here is to ac-
commodate British eligibles for
military service who prefer en-
listing under our flag" said
Lieutenant ]. A. Crozier, "and
we have no objection to having
them forced to serve in any
other army that is allied with
ours. That point was en-
phasized by Brigadier-G General
w. A. White, chief of the
British Recruiting Mission, at
a banquet given in his honor
when he visited San Francisco
a few months ago. 'We don't
care he said, whether the
eligible Britisher enlists under
his own colors or is drafted in
to the American Army, so long
as he gets into the allied ranks. 3"
"Do you expect enlistments
in this country for the British
service will be increased as a re-
suit of the Senate's action ?" the
enthusiastic Soldier boys from
officer was asked.
"The alternative of being
drafted will doubtless promote
voluntary enlistment by British
ers," he replied, "just as many
American boys who were drawn
in the first draft registration
took advantage of the op-
portunity to volunteer"

Doctor James Book Coming

Some months ago Nogales was
visited by Doctor Wharton
James, q noted traveller and
writer who was engaged in
preparation of a work descrip-
tive of our state, that would be
issued this year, entitled "Ariz-
ona, the Wonderland" At that
time Doctor James addressed a
large and appreciative audience,
at the Santa Cruz. Club upon
he theme embodied in his book,
and the pleased and delighted
audience listened for an hour
to rare descriptions of wonder
full scenes and strange forms of
life in Arizona.
In consideration of his giving
Nogales and Santa Cruz County
a chapter in his book the No
gales Chamber of Commerce
agreed to take $50 copies at the
agreed price of $3.50 each, it
being understood that members
would take one or more copies
each upon arrival and delivery
of the work. Any number of
the members signified a willing
ness to take one copy each,
several spoke for two, several
for five, and two or three of the
members signified that they
would take ten each, paying the
price stated.
The publishers have forwarded
Secretary Bristol, of the Cham
Der, notification of shipment of
the consignment some time ago,
with a shipping receipt, and the
shipment is overdue now-apt
to come at any time.
Those members who signified
intentions to take copies are
requested to communicate with
Mr.. Bristol with regard to talk
ing their copies and meeting
their pro rata of the obligation;
and those who have not agreed
to take copies are urged to do
so. The book is a splendid work,
and worth giving a conspicuous
place upon any bookshelf OF in
any home in Arizona.
