showing his patriotism by subscrib- ing to the great Liberty Loan. The committee for Yavapai county, which is headed by F. s. Vielc, as chairman, and F. L. Haworth, secretary, has spent some strenuous hours in plac- ing this great matter before the citi- zens of Yavapai.
 Within the next few days, every taxpaying citizen in Yavapai county will be thoroughly acquainted with all facts concerning the Liberty Loan and hoy they may assist their gov ernment during this critical period. To list of over $500 names, which is being compiled by the chamber of commerce and county assessors of fee, full information will be for warded.
 The Boy Scouts will assist in push ing the work and the hearty co-opcra- ton of all citizens will be enlisted, so that Yavapai may stand in the front ranks, as she always has, with respect to movements looking not only to the county and States welfare, but also the nations.
 In the war for democracy and lib- erty in which the United States is now engaged, it is necessary to raise enormous sums of money. As pre- liminary measure, the United States treasury department is inviting the citizens of this country to subscribe to two billion dollars of 31l per cent bonds, maturing in 30 years from June Is, 1917.
 The committee appointed has been asked to assist in securing as large a subscription to these bonds from Iavapai county as can be obtained and they are asking for every ones cooperation in this connection. As an indication to the rest Of the world that the people of inc United States are behind its president and congress- it is desired that this preliminary loan be subscribed to an extent which is commensurate with the enormous wealth of this country. It Is desired that the subscriptions should be as largely distributed as possible. The banks of the country have been par ticularly requested to refrain from subscribing to this initial loan that their resources may be conserved for future demands, and furthermore, so that the finances of the country may not be disturbed by interfering with the bank deposits at this time.
 Every citizen of the United States is vitally interested in the outcome oi this war, and by subscribing to these bonds the government IS helped just as surely as though the citizen sub scribing had volunteered for active service. The bonds and the income from the same are exempt from all taxes except the inheritance tax, and consequently give nearly the same re- turn as is secured at the present time from savings bank deposits. They are furthermore available for collater- al in loans on any bank in the United States at any time and are moro readily converted into cash than any other form of security in the world. Aside from the question of self-in- tercst. however, patriotism requires that citizens subscribe to the limit Of their ability to assist the government and to show that the people arc be- hind the government in this crisis.
 Tn order to assist the citizens to take as large an amount of these bonds as possible the banks of Jerome and Prescott have agreed to handle all applications for bonds without charge and to loan the intending investors, if necessary. $ per cent Of the amount of their subscriptions at the same rate of interest that the bonds themselves pay. If you are able to pay in full for q hundred dollar bond you can there fore subscribe to S4OO of bonds by paying SlOO and borrowing from the bank the remaining $500, which loan will cost you nothing as the interest on the bond will pay the interest on the loan and by paying off the loan gradually you will ultimately have in vour possession S40O in bonds and will have assisted the United States government accordingly. Your sub- scription is Of the utmost importance to every one of us and it IS earnestly requested that you subscribe to the limit of your ability immediately through any of the local banks who will be glad to give you information and assistance.
