people of the country, and that
that support was secured by the
indefatigable and earnest work
of hundreds of thousands of
patriotic men and women thru
out the United States.
Well may the Secretary Of the
Treasury thank these splendid
volunteers and patriots who made
the fight for the Liberty Loan.
In addition to the thousands and
thousands of individual workers,
he mentions particularly the
press of the country, the bankers,
the Liberty Loan organizations
in every State, city, town and
community, the women Of Amer
lea. the Boy Scouts and Girl
Scouts, the business men, pstri-
otic organizations, cooperative
and fraternal societies, and other
organizations. throughout the
land, and those employers Of
labor in large numbers who gave
every opportunity to their en-
ployees to subscribe to the bonds.
There is something particular
ly patriotic in the liberal support
given the Second Liberty Loan
by the soldiers and sailors Of the
United States. Having enlisted
their lives in the service of their
country, they have enlisted their
dollars, too. Surely they are
worthy of every needed sacrifice
on the part of the people to
strengthen them and enable them
to win the victory.
Graham guardian., 1917-11-23
AMOUNT OF SECOND LOAN

The amount of the Second
Liberty Loan subscriptions which
will be accepted is SO. 808, 766, $50,
which is the $4,000. 900, 900 Of
fered and one-half of the over
subscription of approximately 81
per cent.
Secretary McAdoo states, in
answer to inquiries, that the full
amount of the subscription will
not be accepted for the reason
that the Government must not
alter the basis upon which the
issue of bonds was offered; that
the banks and the public have
adjusted themselves to the basis
of the offering as originally made;
and that it would be extremely
unwise to alter that basis after
the subscriptions have been re.
ceiyed.
Graham guardian., 1917-11-23
FOOD SUBSTITUTION

In a late address, the follow,
ing straight talk came from C.
W. Crist, lately in Arizona as a
representative of the National
Food Administration: ..
I'VE must substitute for meat,
wheat, sugar and dairy products.
The reason for the substitution
is that 1000, 600 men have been
withdrawn from production of
these things. Forty million are
in the armies and 80, 900, 900 of
them are in the mills and in
dustries making ammunition and
equipment. ..
They are all eating as they
never ate before, for a soldier
consumes food in quantities.
There are 100000 more men
convalescents and there are
100000 in the hospitals and
they need a particular kind of
food. - .y:...
''You are asked to have one
day week without white bread.
If the nation would stop eating
white bread it would benefit its
health. We eat to much Of it,
anyway. You are asked to eat
less meat. We eat too much
meat. Some men eat it seven
times a week. You are asked to
go without meat two days a week.
You may eat rabbit or chicken,
or any other kind of food, for by
meat we mean beef.
Seven ounces of sugar a week
are asked; you are asked to go
without candy. ! have seen wo-
men at work for the Red Cross
knitting hard and eating candy
just as hard, and fast. Clothing
the soldier with one set of
muscles while they consumed his
sugar with another.
These are small things and
you might think they are too
small for you to practice day by
day. But mep and women over
there are starving to death, men
are being killed and murdered
for democracy. You must fight
for democracy this way"
Graham guardian., 1917-11-23
WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL

President Wilson in his Thanks
giving Proclamation makes no
attempt to recount the specific
things for which the Nation at
this time has cause to be CRATE
full. Had he particularized
doubtless he would have given
the result of the Second Liberty
Loan prominent place among
those things for which the Ma
ton should be thankful.
For the great result of the
Second Liberty Loan campaign,
with nearly 10, 900, 900 Americans
rallying to the financial support
of the Nation and subscribing
over four and a half billion dol
lars for the purchase of Liberty
Loan Bonds, is a cause for deep
thanksgiving in the heart of
every loyal American.
President Wilson says the Ma
ton should be thankful that we
have been given the opportunity
to serve mankind as we once
served ourselves in the great day
Of our Declaration of Indepen-
dence by taking up arms against
the tyranny that threatened to
master and debase men every
where.
So, too. can all subscribers to
the Liberty Loan be thankful
that they have been given an
opportunity to aid in this great
mission of America and have
done their part toward giving to
the world liberty and justice and
and security from the tyranny
that threatens to master and de-
base all nations and all men.
Every purchaser of a Liberty
Loan Bond has struck a blow for
human liberty and for civilization
and humanity. Let them re-
member this on Thursday, the
29th day of November, and be
thankful.

THE INFANTRY

Give my love to the rank and file OF the
Regular Army men. ;,
Who can march all day and march all
night
And win battle then.
The seasoned soldiers hard as nails,
The flower of the brave and free,
For the good right arm OF Uncle Sam
Is the U. s. Infantry.
It's long red road that the boys must
go
Where the bombs and the bullets fly,
But the starry flag is their charge to
keep
Aloft in the sunlight sky!
So my spirit follows the guerdons gay
And my heart goes over. the sea
With the footsore. dusty but darntless
Of the u. S. Infantry.
It's the biggest hike that they ever
took
And the end is far away.
Where the quick and the dead together
sleep
In dugouts sccoped in the clay.
But the first ones up and over the top
In the battle front will be /,
The olive drab and the slanting steel
Of the U. s. Infantry.

The University of Arizona pre-

relative to "'The Etiquette of the

times, in peace or in war. 1t is
hoped that the observance of
