Expressing confidence that the
response would be prompt and pa
triotic. President William Sproule
of the Southern Pacific Company
yesterday issued call to $4,000
employees to participate in the Lib
erty Loan and announced that the
railroad would advance the required
funds, reimbursement to be made
in salary deductions over a long
period.
In making the announcement,
President Sprou1e sproule said:
Hitherto it has been supposed
that only those having plenty of
money could own government
bonds. Today there is an oppor-
tunity for any man to become the
owner of a government bond who
can save $50. The nation needs
your help and the Company desires
to assist you in helping the govern
ment. -
BY the plan announced by the
the Southern Pacific executive, any
employee can, upon request, have
the Company subscribe i'll his be-
half for any amount of bonds de-
sired, not exceeding Is per cent of
his salary, and the Company will
advance the whole subscrip ton
price; turning the bond over to the
subscriber with accrued interest
when the advance has been repaid.
On account of the tax exempt
feature of the bonds, the rate of
3 IL per cent per annutn will be
above the average generally paid
by savings banks.
The Southern Pacific has sub
scribed for $5,OOO,OOO of these
bonds on it's own account.

things since babyhood. You have
never experienced the awful shat
tering devastations, the black hor-
rors, the stunning blows to all you
have builded. the blasting of hopes,
all the gigantic, overwhelming dis
asters which WAR has brought
from the very dawn of history.
To YOU WAR is only word of
three letters which mean something
unpleasant to very remote people,
but not to you.
Be warned! Awake! Arise! The
flames are lit! The Horror is loose!
And you must stand at the gate
and summon all your strength to
keep the Wolves away.
You think we are safe from inva-
sion that no foe can come thun-
dering over our borders with awful
engines Of destruction which could
turn our homes into s1noldering
ruins in an hour. You think no
hostile aircraft can float noisenessly
above you while you sleep, drop
ping bombs that would shatter your
; houses to matchwood and crumbled
stone and your bodies to quivering
fragments of bloody meat
Is there an anti aircraft gun here
to drive them away? No! Or a
mighty searchlight to spy them out
among the midnight clouds? No!
Do you want this protection?
Then help pay for it. Awake! Arise!
We are at WAR!
Who knows what a mouth may
bring forth? Who foresaw the ka
1eidnscopic changes in Europe! The
Russian revolution?
What new nations may be brot
into this world conflict? And how
near our borders may the danger
be? The world is ahame we
are at WAR and still unprepared.
Awake! Arise! The call has
come! Your banks, your business
men, your city builders, men of
careful thought and wide infornla-
ton, have been given the alarm to
pass on to you.
Our hearts are stout, our courage
proved, our minds are clear, our
cause is just. 1t is in our deadly,
wicked indifference, our false Sc
curity, our blindness and our
SLEEP that danger lies. Awake!
Arise!
Famine goes hand in hand with
war. We must have no famine
here, nor need we.
But we must work you must
work and'we must work with in
telligence, with united effort and
with desperate easnestneSs.
We must arm! We must pre-
pare. We must arm the nation
with all the costly scientific new
discoveries of warfare. We must
feed millions now fighting for us in
the field. We must provide the
money we must subscribe the
Liberty Loan.
The call has come. Arise! You
will be called to act on committee
or to actively work at securing
bond subscriptions. Answer with
Joy and pride and answer AT
ONCE. And as you work give
thanks that you are SO called and
are not called at midnight to step
forth in a binding blast of death
from the skies. to see all those YOU
love gasping for breath in quiter
ering heaps for an instant, before
you, Yourself, and blown into
mangled, shapeless thing.
The call has come! Awake e
Take part-and put your BACK
into it. Arise

work has been well done.
Two years ago the work was
started in this state and has grown
SO rapidly and efficiently that it
seemed best to the California So
ciety to turn oyer all it's work to
the Arizona home and retire from
the field. This transaction is in
process now and will be consum-
mated by the first Of June.
The Arizona association has ap-
piled for and has been promised
admission intoI the national organi
cation at the national convention to
be held in Pittsburg, Pa, June s.
E, 1917.
During the two years of work by
the Arizona home, one hundred
and thirty children have passed
through the home:
Thirty five children are now in
the home. Only three of them are
for adoption
We have requests for room for
several other children at the pres
ent time, but have no room for
them.
We rent two buildings and will
rent another as soon as funds can
be secured for rent and furnishings.
1t is our plan to build a modern
building adapted to the needs of
the home as soon as men of meaus
can be interested in this needy
; work.
I 1t costs about $500 per month to
run the home at present. Most of
this support comes from the friends
who have become interested in the
work The rest comes from those
who have sent their children to the
home and $3.50 month. In
some cases the county pays this
and in other cases the parent pays.
At present three women do the
work at the home These women
are competent and we'll adjusted to
THE work. The children are we'll
fed, clothed, sent to school when
we'll enough, mothered, cared for
on the playground and given every
possible aid in their character de-
velopment. No distinction is made
along racial or religious lines. but
most Of the children handled are
nominal Protestants and all negro
children will be cared for outside
the regular home.
The home is wide open at all
| hours of the day for inspection and
visitors are welcome. 1t is always
best to call up some members of
the board before visiting the home.
Some one will be glad to accom-
pany visitors to the home.
Our immediate need is money
with which to buy food, pay rent.
pay help and other bills. Food
clothing, bedding, furniture or
anything that can be used will be
appreciated. Lodges, clubs,
churches and individuals are in
Vited to help this most worthy and
needy cause with our state.
Send all money and supplies to
Mrs. ]. w. Buchanan, 1899 North
Sixth avenue, Tucson. Arizona.
Rev. +. D. Raley of 1916 East Nc
Kinly street, Phoenix, Arizona, is
the newly elected superintendent of
the home All questions concern
ing adoption or placing children in
the home should come to him.
The first asset of any state or
people is it's child life. The chief
peril of any state is in it's neglect
of the physical, mental and moral
we'll being of its children. No in
vestnent will return larger divi-
dends to a state or individual than
the investment in childhood
One dollar spent now for the
homeless or neglected child will
save the state hundreds of dollars
III few years.
