Camouflage

'Camoufage" filtered into the

batteries to initiate the surround

ton aviators of the enemy. Its

of taking" whereby an illusion is

admirably to describe the practices

HOW MONEY GOES
ROUND IN A CIRCLE

"There won't be any money left in
he country if they keep or asking
or these loans"
How many times do you hear such
remark made about the Liberty
Loan? Perhaps you may have even
.hought something of the sort your
self.
To man not used to finance the
;hought is very natural one
Let us think this thing out.
In the first place, practically all
Of the money subscribed to the Lib
erty Loans stays right here in the
country, and a coed deal Of it stays
light in the locality from which it is
originally subscribed So this talk
about Draining the country" and
about there being no money left in
he country" is sheer nonsense.
Let us see how this works out.
We will suppose that you are a
farmer, or cotton grower, that you
aave purchased Liberty 3oal and
you are paying by installments spread
over several months. Now, until the
government actually needs your mon
9y it leaves it on deposit at some
oc:l bank which is acting as q SOY

The LAST installment on your Bond,

Our Soldiers in France
{Bisbee Review


work and at play in France. The
films were an inspiration. The
American soldier is a type distinc-
tive unto himself. He is the nat
ural product Of his soil and his
cline and his institutions. The
best and most adventurous blood
of the old world colonized the new
continent Of the west. No man or
woman can study the face and car
riage of the American soldier in
France without a thrill Of pride and
joy. He is slender, 1.-THE and alert,
is the u. S. regular in khaki. He
has clean cut face and jaw that
sweeps in line Ikea sword blade
from chin to ear. Not for a min
ute is he to be confounded with
the German, English or French
soldier. He is leaner than they in
face and form. The expression of
his face is different. He smiles
oftener than either his allies or his
enemies. When he frowns there
is more menace in his glance Look
closely at a column Of these sol
diers marching in compact array
and you will see a marked resem-
blance in every form and face
Broad at the shoulder, narrow at
the hips, an ang1S to every jaw,
lips ready to smile or frown, eager
glances that can change quickly to
set g1ances. They look so compe-
tent, these young men in white
puttees. There is repressed energy
in every movement. In one pic
ture they look positively savage as
the~ set and sight a machine gun,
and in the next they win you with
their happy glance and boyish
smile.
The American soldier in France
is a distinctive type of his country
men. He is there now by the thon-
sand. In a year he will be there
bv the million. And he will leave
his indelible mark upon the coun-
try and its songs and traditions.
Long after he has returned to his
home across the seas the children
and the children's children of the
people he came to fight and die for
will tell of his gent1eness and his
courage, of his smiling lips while
he harvested their wheat and held
their babies on his knee, and of his
set scowl and jutting jaw while he
battled the Hun to a terrible fin
ish.
The song of Roland is more than
thousand years old and is still
the song of France. But five hun
! dred years hence peasants of the
| Marne and the Loire and the
Champagne and the Aisne will sing
in the night time, when the storm
beats at their doors, Of those won
derfu1 boys with their thin eager
faces and skillful hands and brave
hearts who helped free France for
ever.

Another crop which may become
of value to Arizona farmers is the
Mong bean. This is very small
bean of Chinese origin and is high
ly valued by the people of that
nation. Preliminary tests showed
considerable drought resistance
and the ability of this crop to pro-
duce a fair yield under quite ad-
verse conditions. It seems reason
able to suppose that this may some
time prove valuable addition to
