trust.

Mohave County miner., 1917-10-06

Mohave county was astir this week selling Liberty bonds to help defeat the kaiser. The second Liberty loan campaign was formally opened in this county last Monday night when about 75 of the most prominent business and professional men of Kingman met at the court house to perfect plans for subscribing to this county's share of Liberty bonds. The meeting was call ed by J. H. Rosenberg, of the Arizo- na Central bank, who has been named to head the campaign in northwest Arizona.
 After Mir. Rosenberg had explained the objects of the meeting the Mo have County Liberty Loan League was formed and committees were named to carry on a whirlwind campaign of four weeks. The campaign closes Saturday night, October 27. From now until then Mohave county will be cross-sectioned and worked from one end to the other, to make sure that the people here contribute as literally as possible to the cause upon which this Nation is launched.
 ''The time is short and the situa- tion grave" declared Mir. Rosenberg, in outlining the plans. "We don't re- alize what must be done. This loan must be oversubscribed. The govern ment must have the money and we have been practically impressed into service to help raise the funds neces- sary for the carrying on of the war"
 Both Mir. Rosenberg and c. J. Wal ters, of the Citizens bank, stated their institutions would cooperate in every way possible and would donate their services in taking subscriptions, m:.k- ing collections and forwarding the money to the reserve bank at San Francisco.
 Several short talks were made dur ing the evening and a magnificent spirit of cooperation was shown. Ev- erybody seemed alive to the require ments and promised to give of their time and means to guarantee the sue cess of tn loan.
 Every section of the county will be visited and rallies and demonstrations will be held to arouse the public Speakers will visit the various dis tricts and the business men of King man will cooperate with the local committees in every way possible.
 After electing c. J. Walters secre- tary of the league, the following com mittees were named:
 Finance-R. W. Wilde, Carl G. Krook, L. H. Baldwin.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS
 THROUGHOUT COUNTRY
 GOOD, SAY MERCHANTS

Business conditions throughout the country are good", declared Jay Gates, of the Central, Commercial company, upon his return early this week from an extended trip through the east, middle west and coast country. "Of course, there is a great deal of war activity, but business in general is on a solid footing.
 q found that conditions in northern Michigan were about the poorest, he continued. "In Chicago and on through the middle west, into Idaho and on to the Pacific coast, things are humming with activity. There seems to be plenty of money in circulation and a great deal of building is being done"
 Mir. Gates said he found conditions in Kingman and Mohave county good. He said his concern was selling more stuff than a year ago and that he look ed for the greatest fall and winter trade ever experienced here.
 The Arizona Stores company re- ports unusual activity in all lines, and especially in mining supplies. "We have been selling a great deal of equipment stuff, said one of the off cials of this company this week. "We look for the best fall and winter in years. Dollar silver is reviving busi- ness activity. We have equipped sev- eral small prospecting parties the last week..
 Other business men report similar conditions. The Kingman Traders have sold half dozen outfits the past week and for two weeks or more there has been a steady increase in this trade.

QUOTA
 Of LIBERTY BONDS
 WILL BE S8,000,OOO

PHOENIX, Oct. 6.--An organization that will reach into ever section of Ar izona and enlist the assistance of hun dreds of workers in the campaign to raise between $7,OOO,OOO and Ss.OOO, ,OGO for the second liberty loan fund has been perfected here this week, and already the taking of subscriptions is under way in several counties.
 Under the direction of Harry R. Tritle, campaign manager, and Rossi- ter Mikel, special representative of the Twelfth Federal Reserve bank of San Francisco, headquarters have been opened, from which the import ant undertaking of raising Arizona's full allotment is being directed.
 So thorough is the organization planned that no community, no mat ter how small, will be overlooked in the campaign for Liberty bond pur- chasers. In addition to these, who have accepted places, volunteers are welcome to the end that every man and woman in this state will be i'm pressed with the necessity of buying bonds during the next four weeks, and as early in the campaign as is poss- ible.
 At the headquarters in this city are the following, who make up the state central committee: H. J. McClung, chairman; Harry R. Tritle, vice-chdir- man and campaign manager; Dan Gill lett, chairman of organization; A. T. Esgate, chairman finance; Dr. Ancel Martin, chairman distribution; Frank .DeSouza, chairman publicity; E. w.. Lewis, chairman speakers bureau; Donald Dunbar, chairman transporta- tion and entertainment; Harry Welch, secretary; Thomas E. Campbell, gov- ernor; Dwight B. Heard, chairman of defense. All of these are serving without compensation.
 Miss Alice M. Birdsall, local attor- ney, will have complete charge of the organization of the woman's commit tee. Within the next few days she will have plans perfected for local committees in all parts of the state, and will direct their work from head quarters. Miss Birdsall is confident of the cooperation of the women of Arizona in the second Liberty loan drive.
 The time within which Arizonans must raise $7,OOO,OOO is short, so the work must be rapid and those who subscribe will do their "bit" best by subscribing searly in the campaign as is possible.

RED GROSS CHAPTER
 GETS St,6OO REFUND.

The Mohave County chapter of the Red Cross has received S1,6O0 as its share of the fund of s6,2OO raised last summer for the national society, ac- cording to announcement this week by c. J. Walters, chairman of the local organization. The committee head ed by E. F. Thompson in one week last summer raised a little over S6,- 200 in Mohave county. The under standing at that time was that each chapter and branch chapter was en- titled to retain 25 per cent of the money raised for use of the local bodies. Shortly after the draft was transmitted to Secretary of the Treas urer McAdoo requisition was made for this county's share. Of the $1,6O0, about $500 will be returned to the Chloride branch.

MOHAVE COUNTY SENDS 94.
 LIBERTY BOYS ID WAR CAMP.
Third Contingent LeGUes For Fort Riley; GiUen Grand Send-OH

Mohave county has sent most of her Liberty boys to the training camp at Fort Riley, Kans. With the depar- ture of the third contingent last Thursday night, 94 of the III men this county has been called upon to send have gone forward. Seventeen others will be leaving within short time. That will comprise the quota from Mohave county unless another call is issued.
 Like those other demonstrations for the departing heroes, the reception and farewell send-off given the boys Thursday night was replete with pat riotism. Thousands of people attend cd the patriotic rally at the court house and accompanied the boys to the Santa Fe station where they boarded a special car. The Needles band came up Thursday on No. 10 and gave public concerts until after the boys had departed.
 The Committee, composed of c. A. Warren, chairman, and J. E. Perry and c. M. Leonard, with Asa Harris as marshall of the parade, had ar ranged everything to make the pro gram complete. The one thing lack ing at previous .demonstrations-pat- giotic addresses--was provided Thurs day night. The committee deserves great credit for the superb manner in which the program was carried out, and especial credit is due the Red Cross ladies for their participation in the affair.
 The band gave concert in the at- ternoon at the EIl1s hall and through out the evening played patriotic and popular selections. From 8 to g o. clock Thursday evening, the band gave several numbers. At g o'clock, a chorus of school children sang, and this was followed by another selection by the band.

LANCE Is TAKEN ID
 EXPERIMENT CAMP

Alexander Lange, arrested a month ago at Oatman on presidential war rant charging him with having made reasonable utterances against the United States, has been interned at Fort Grant, in southeastern Arizona, for the duration of the war, according to word received here this week. Iange is said to have made threats against President Wilson and been outspoken in anti-American sentiment.
 On the way to the federal intern ment camp, Lange is said to have de- clared that he had never worked for more than ten days at any one place. It is very probable, however, that he is in for a longer stay at Uncle Sam's boarding house where he will be re- quired to perform some kind of labor.
