BUSINESS OR CHARITY?
Vhe only reason any man is in business in this town
 because there is is supposed to be, place in tn

Ibe onv reason any man is in business in this town is
 because there is or is supposed to be- place in the A commercial structure of the community for hm and because he wants to make money. If there is demand for his goods and he sells them at fair price, he IS Tn way public benefactor. Every time customer buys something he satisfies his wants and makes certain profit for the dealer No one thinks that the transaction is charity the part of either One wants what the other has to sell and if the transaction IS fair and above board, both satisfied.
 Now let us draw parallel The newspaper Tn town is in business because there is demand for newspaper in that town and because the publisher wants to make money. the publisher stands for the best interests of the community and puts out credtable publication he IS in way public benefactor. He not only gives the news of the community but he offers the merchant business the opportunity to reach the people and tell them through the columns of the newspaper 0t what he carreS in his stock Using the above comparison the merchant his columns to good advantage pays the price there for and both merchant and publisher satisfied One wants what the other has to sell Is there charity about that transaction?
 Some men in this town have been heard to remark that they didn't favor advertising because they didn't like to contribute to charity" Was any prepOSter ous statement ever made by man considered twentieth century business man? Couldn't contribute to charity
 The average editor through long and useful life keeps the charity idea pretty well to the front in his mlnd for he never knows when he will have to depend upon charity to keep from starving but how other he usually manages to keep out of the pOorhouse He goes on through life boosting the other fellow advertising him and his business and for his reward gets cussed and dis cuSSed from the front office to the back shOp But 1t is his nature so to live and die.

THE LIBERTY LOAN

line of communication with our brave troops in France, and to keep our com merce afioat upon the high seas in de- fiance of the German Kaiser and his submarines; creating a great fleet of aeroplanes, which will give complete supremacy in the air to the United States and the brave nations fighting with us against the German military menace; and for other necessary war purposes, the congress of the United States has authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to sell to the American people bonds of the United States bearing four per cent interest, with valuable tax exemptions, and convert able under certain conditions into oth- CT issues of United States bonds that may be authorized by the congress- The official circular of the Treasury Department gives full details.
 There is now offered to the Ameri- can people a new issue of S3,0O0,0O0,- 900 of bonds to be known as the Sec ond Liberty Loan. They will be is- sued in such denominations and upon such terms that every patriotic citi- zen will have an opportunity to assist the government by lending his money upon the security of a United States government bond.
 It is essential to the success of the war and to the support of our gallant troops that these loans shall not only be subscribed, but oversubscribed. No one is asked to donate or give his mon- ey to the government; but every one is asked to lend his money to the gov ermnent. The loans will be repaid in full with interest at the rate of four per cent per annum. A government bond is the safest investment in the world; it is as good as currency and yet better, because the government bond bears interest and currency does not. No other investment compares with it for safety, ready convertabil- ity into cash, and unquestioned avail ability as collateral security for loans in any bank in the United States.
 People by thousands ask the Treas ury constantly how they can help the government in this war. Through the purchase of Liberty bonds every one can help. No more patriotic duty can be performed by those who cannot ac- tually fight upon the field of battle l than to furnish the government with the necessary money to enable it to give our brave soldiers and sailors all that they require to make them strong | for the fight and capable of winning a | swift victory over our enemies.
 We fight, first of all, for America's | vital rights, the right to the unmoles- ted and unobstructed use of the high | seas, so that the surplus products of our farms, our mines and our factories ] may be carried into the harbors of
Mohave County miner., 1917-10-13

the right of the smallest and weakest nations equally with the most power ful to live and to govern themselves according to the will of their own peo- pie.
 We fight for peace, for that just and lasting peace which agonized and tortured humanity craves and which not the sword nor the bayonet of a military despot but the supremacy of vindicated right alone can restore to a distracted world.
 To secure these ends l appeal to ev- cry man and woman who resides upon the soil of free Alnerlca and enjoys the blessings of her priceless institu- tions to join the League of Patriots by purchasing a liberty bond.

STATE FAIR ID TAKE
 ON WAR ORGANIZATION

Not to be outdone by the United States army or anything else, in this year of "war organization, the Ari- zona State Fair will present a new front at its exposition November 12 to IT, an explanation of which will be helpful to some prospective exhib- itors who might become confused by attempting to follow precedent.
 In earlier years the term "woman's department" embraced a number of important displays that have now been further classified and the old term abandoned. Designating each depart ment by letter the fair commission has almost run out of alphabet, for ex- pansion is the order of theday but there are enough letters left to get by this years show without entangle- ment.
 In almost every department this year, in addition to the cash premiums offered, there are many special pre- miums, prized, etc., many more in fact than at any previous exposition. This does not mean the above departments alone but all along the line, with par ticular significance in the live stock and dairy offerings.
 The assignment of boxes in the grandstand at the Fairy will occur through the method of a public draw ing to be held at 10 o'clock A. M. Thursday, October 25, in the Chamber of Commerce rooms in Phoenix, and under the auspices of that body The cost of box for the entireweek of the Fair is only S25, the old time price that prevailed before the days of the high cost of living.
 Those wanting boxes should for ward their money to B. W. Zachau, secretary of the State Fair Commis- sion, Phoenix, stating whether they! will be able to attend the drawing orl designate some one to draw for them. Otherwise their names will be given to the Chamber of Commerce and some one will be designated to draw for them.
