LOVE PROBABLY IS
 ALIVE, BUT A PRISONER
CFrom Saturdays Da,Iy) l

That Lieut.. Ernest Love, the
 American aviator who has been miss ing in France since the middle of September, escaped being killed and IS prisoner in Germany, is the be- lief of his father. Allan Love of this city.
 This supposition is based mainly on advices received few days ago that four missing American aviators are prisoners in Germany, and their cap ture was effected at about the time that Lieut.. Love made his flight with the squadron to which he was at
 tached and which has been unac- counted for since that time. Another plausible reason is advanced by the father to the effect that his son has escaped death by absence of any re- port in casualties of the Allies that he has fallen. Also is this important fact to be associated with American aviators, that all are tagged with reg isteled numbers and also have on their persons a photograph, neither of which marks of identification has been recovered Lieut.. Love of course wore these the time when he went into action. It is but reasonable to infer that if he had been killed. the body would have left mute evedince as above m either one instance or the other, but nothing is forthcoming from either source
 Also is there another reasonable belief to cherish of his safety. that the territory to which he was as signed in aerial action nearly month ago has been occupied since by the Allies. and his identification among the dead on that field has not been reported as yet. So under all cir based on conditions known and in the absence of official confirmation to the contrary the faith TT in Prescott naturally believes and is hopeful that his son has escaped death at least

A young far mer boy named Jasper was accom- panying me on an inspection of the agricultural exhibits that day and in time we came to section the dis play the shelves of which were laden with golden masses Of what we be- 'lieved to be maple sugar. Some of the sugar was in brick form and some of it had been molded up fancy like, and was shaped like a pineapple. We thought it looked pretty good, and when the man who was watching the display wasn't looking, we each reach over and glom big hunks which was all wrapped up nice in oiled paper. Right away we get buster than one-armed man washing dishes and beats it out of the fair grounds over to where the Monon railroad runs along the grounds of the deaf and dumb asylum. When we figured that we had eluded any ambitious cops who might have been camping on our trail, we Hops down under some large beech trees which grows along the main line and prepares to have a gran, helva time eating our maple sugar.

 What happened?" queried the re- ported. Had cop sneaked up on you or did brakie show you the gate off the right-of-way, or what did transpire 10 cheat you out of the good time that you seemed threaten ed with? Maybe you got the tooth ache from the maple sugar.

NEW TYPE OF BOMB

PARIS, Oct. o-Thc Germans have been using in their air work a new type of inflammablc bomb combining great effectiveness with light weight. A single airplanc. it is said, can carry 2O0 of these bombs. The only way of fighting the fire caused by this new weapon appears to be the isolation of the blaze, as pouring water on it literally adds fuel to the flames be- cause of d chemical with which the bombs are composed.

SWIFT WORK IS NECESSARY ID
 SWING LOAN
CITY AND COUNTY ARE BOTH BEHIND DESPITE GOOD WORK DONE BY
 WOMEN'S COMMITTEES;
 DETAILED REPORT MADE
(From Fridays Daily.)
By Grace M. Sparkes.

lhrOugh the columns Of the Jour-
 nal-Mincr from day to day the Lib
 erty Loan committee has announc-
 ed the condition of the loan in Pres
 cott There has been no mincing of
 words or figures, but a straight re-
 port as to the standing of this com
 munity, according to the latest re- turns from the four banks in Pres colt This apparently has not cat
 en into the hearts of the citizens of
 this community in the manner in which 1t should. But two men came to headquarters and offered to serve in any way in which the committee saw fit to assist with this drive Those men who reported were Dixon Fagerberg and Percy Milnes, and their names are printed this morning at the request of E. s. Clark, in charge of the county committee and Mrs. C. H. Hinderer, in charge of the Women's committee. Just in cidentally it might be stated that as result of the voluntary effort of these two men. the figures for the loan were increased considerably.
 As matter of pure loyal Ameri- canism it is up to the citizens of this community whether Prescott shall be branded as having subscribed its al- lotment or not. In many instances yesterday 1t was noted that several of those who had subscribed had again come forward with another subscription. But it will take many more of this character before Pres cott's quota is reached.
 To Doctor Finn belongs the credit for a suggestion which may open the hearts and incidentally the pocket books of the citizens Of this commun- ity. On Liberty Day, October 12th, which has been proclaimed holiday the nation, 1t has been suggested that Prescott citizens pur- chase a bond for the companies m which men from Prescott and fava- pai County arc enrolled overseas. And that when these bonds are pur- chased that the members of these companies or their representative be cabled that such a bond has been bought for them by the citizens ot Prescott. This idea will be carried out by E. s. Clark. During that en- tire day, the workers for the loan will have quarters throughout Pres colt where those desiring to sub scribe for bonds can do so. While no public gathering will be held, the Prescott band will play on the plaza in honor of the day, and every op- portunity will be given those who desire to come forward and increase their subscriptions for bonds or to take out even their first subscrip- ton.
 The report of the committee shows that in addition to the figures con tained in yesterdays issue of the Journal Miner, that l4O subscribers were added to the list and a total amount in dollars of $3l ,050, bringing the total to date of l,2l2 individual subscriptions and the amount of ponds subscribed, $2lo,950OO.
 The following is the report for the county insofar as it is possible for he committee to submit at this time: IT Allotment Subscribed !

Cut Wood To save Coal.

In view of the serious coal short
age, the State Fuel Administrator
has appointed a Wood Fuel Com
mittee to cooperate with the various
agencies throughout the State which
are in a position to stimulate fire
wood production and urge the In
creased use of wood,
This committee consists of John
H. Gildea. Jr., State Fuel Admins
tration, Thomas B. Symons, Director
Of Extention Work, State. College,
John B. Black, Master of the--State
Grange, and F. W. Besley, State
Forester. This committee, acting IN
cooperation with the State Forest
wardens, the County Agricultural
A rents, the State Oranges, and other
organizations, has planned an active
wood fuel campaign, to extend to all
parts of the State where wood can
to any extent be substituted for coal
in relieving the coal shortage.
While the important thing is to
get wood now for next winter, Ger
tain amount can be done to relieve
the pressing needs in small towns
and suburban communities by cut
ting dead, sound wood which is prac-
tically in a seasoned state ready for
immediate use.
The Fuel Administration Is of the
opinion that in all probability the
coal shortage will be as serious next
winter as it is now, and there is every
reason why the farmer and woodlot
owner should provide full supply
of fire wood now for next winters
use There is not enough coal to go
around, and the rural communities
which are within reach of wood
supplies will be expected to use wood
wherever possible and save coal, for
the industries and larger cities where
wood cannot be used.
Woodlot owners can not only get
from their woodlots without injury
all of the fuel that they need-them-
selves, but provide an extra supply
to sell at good prices TO those who
will be unable to get coal. In cut
ting fire wood from the woodlot,
trees which have a timber value
should be saved, and the cutting
limited to defective or weed trees SO
as to make the cutting real i'm
provement instead of detriment.
Advice in cutting the woodlo.,
market for cordwood and timber is
freely given by the State Forester,
Baltimore. Maryland.

Race Track Gambling.

Gambling Of every other kind Is a
crime in the State Of Maryland. 1t
is query to which there is no
answer-"W is this particular
form of gambling, at the race track
and through the hook-maker, set
apart. legalized and encouraged. +"
The ignorant, unframed negro who
attempts to satisfy his gambling
prosperity by shaking dice in back
alley for few pennies is sent to
prison, If he is caught; while the
Race-Track Gambler not only plies
his particular form of this vice with
out having to fear being caught, but
is actually licensed to do his dirty
and eva work, andzhas a right to de-
mand the protection of the State in
the prosecution of what he calls his
business. OF course, he /. belongs
morally in the same class with the
negro crap-shooter, except that he is
worse, for he is more intelligent and
the community has right to expect
better things from him. The men
who use their political influence and
their social responsibility to defend
and maintain this legalized vice and
its vile practitioners in the State Of
Maryland are still worse, for their
fellow citizens have even more right
to expect them to keep clean the
good name of the commonwealth of
Maryland than to expect decency on
the part of the professional gambler.
