 tSigned) R. J. KEOWN,
 Treasurer.
 Out of the B employees of the Union Oil company here 30 have bought Lib erty bonds Of the three who did not buy one is girl supporting sick mother, one is going into the navy and one into the army. This is undoubtedly some showing of the patriotism of the force of the Union Oil company in Arizona
 Copper Companies Help
 Second subscription of $1,500,00O by United Verde Extension Mining com pany, making S2,000000 in all, was through error credited to New York. President George E. Tener took the ? matter up and strengthened it out at the request of Governor Campbell and so per cent, about $900, 900 is credited to Arizona. United Verde Copper company sub scribed additional $500,000 to be credit ed to Jerome and Clarkdale, making S1,000,000 altogether.

had no sooner offered the first $50 bond for sale than hid of s75 was offered. Sharp competitive bidding by the Ro- tary club and Fred T. Golfer soon forced the price beyond the expecta- tions of the less enthusiastic bidders The bond was finally awarded to the Rotary club at s901.
 After the disposal of this bond, J. P. Conduit, spectator in the crowd. stated that he had a $50 bond which he would allow to be auctioned off on the same terms as the other. This stipulation meaning that all over $50 which the bond brought would be turned over to the Red Cross. Indi- viduals only were allowed to bid on this bond. Fred T. Colter was award ed the bond at $225.
 Women Nobel Helpers
 Some idea of the important part which the women are playing in this Liberty loan bond campaign is secured from the fact that through the wo- mems organization of Maricopa county a total subscription of $57,450 is so far recorded with more to hear from. This sum Is not included in Friday total and there are several of the outlying districts yet to hear from. They are urged to report as soon as possible to Mrs. J. L. B. Alexander
 The women of the county have had D different organizations at work the past few days and they have worked hard.
 Oatman Is Near Top Oatman has gone over the top in more than good style. All Arizona will have to take off it's hat to this mining camp. With a minimum quota of s10,- 900 and maximum quota of S1S,000 Oatman has subscribed for 1000 worth of bonds. over three times it's maximum quota. It is stated by the Oatman Bureau of mines in wire to The Republican that 95 per cent of the working miners have subscribed for bonds and that Oatman alone has oversubscribed the 1lopave county allotment.
 From "Davy Jones' Locker" l Everybody has heard of ''Davy Jones Locker" It has been unlocked at last 1 five times. It is not the locker which ! becomes the receptacle for deceased sailors but where Davy Jones, a cement worker of Phoenix keeps his wealth It has been opened for the purchase oi 1 five Liberty bnds. MT. Jones had pur- l chased four of them and last night he remembered that none had been bought i in the name of Evelyn Jones. Consid- ering that Evelyn May was such re- cent occurrence. of only five months 1 standing, this slip of the memory of Davy Jones of Phoenix was not inex- cusable, especially after he had hurried down town and bought one for Evelyn May She is therefore the youngest holder of record of Liberty loan bond

 J. C. Adams, proprietor of the Adams hotel was the last speaker on the pro- gram.
 We are all proud of the manner in which citizens of the baby state of the Union responded to the call of the government" said MT Adams. but what is especially gratifying is the manner in which the mining interests 1 answered the call by placing to the credit of the state large subscriptions. 1 'tWe are loyal to the government with the exception of a few and they l are getting smaller in numbers every day. It is my belief that if the cam paign had been conducted but a few ! days longer we would have entirely l eliminated this class of citizens from l the state
