HOLD YOUR
LIBERTY BONDS

One who subscribes for a Liberty
Bond and gets credit as patriot for
doing so is not acting periodically if
he Immediately sells that bond, unless
ne lmperatiyely needs the money. saws
Secretary McAdoo. 1t is not the mere
subscription that helps the govern
ment, it is the actual loan, shifting the
bond to someone else does not help.
The same obligation lies to exchang-
ing Liberty Loan Bonds in trade. Mer-
chants offering to take Liberty Bonds
IN exchange and doubtless actuated bv
patriotic motives but such transactions
tend to defeat primary object of the
bond sale, the encouragement of thrift
and the diseouraging of expenditures.
Bonds 50 exchanged are in most cas-
es Immediately sold on the open mar
ket which tends to depress the market
price and affects adversely the sales Of
future issues.
Secretary McAdoo expressly states
that there is no desire On the part az
the government to prevent Or interfere
with legitimate trading, in good faith,
in Liberty Bonds.
1t is one Of the great objects Of the
Treasury Department 10 have these

Because it has been impossible fol-

Sis, 443, 100000 worth OF CROPS were
harvested in the United States last
year. This is more than $6,00O,000,-

and about S9,00O,000,OO0 over the yield
in 1915. Animals and animal prod

Illinois ranked first in the value of

DOUBLE-CROSSING NOW
 GREAT POLITICAL SPORT

Osborn's political followers are claiming that Moeur double-crossed him when he announced his candidacy for the governorship. It was a we'll known fact about the capitol that Os- born, before throwing his support to Moeur for the position of land com missioner, had assurance from Moeur not to be candidate for governor in this coming election. Moeur's friends contend he kept the promise until Os- borne tried to double-cross him by promising Frank Baptist, now city assessor of Phoenix, that he would vote for him to be land commissioner and to oust Moeur.
 When the proposition was put up to Hunt that he vote for Baptist and to oust Moeur as land commissioner, he refused to do so, claiming Moeur was the most staunch and effective worker he had in Maricopa county's last cleo tion and during the contest. Moeur's eyes were opened to the fact that Os- born no longer held the deciding vote since Hunt could easily whip the land commission into his way of thinking by holding the San Diego affair over their heads. Sometime prior to Moeur's announcement at Nogales, his friends mentioned his name as a candidate for the governorship, but on account of the promise to Osborn he withdrew it. Both Moeur and his friends now claim his. hat is in the race to stay unless it could be agreed by all the candi- dates now in the field to withdraw in favor of Hunt.

Marine Can1ouHage Has IDeUeloped Into Fine Art

Washington. August 24-New develop.
 have effected radical changes in the
 painting of ships to protect them from
 the enemy. Modern naval warfare no
 longer reckons upon 'invisibility" as a
 defensive factor authorities having ar rived at the conclusion that paint it.
 self, being dependent upon light, will
 not overcome shadows. "Baffle paint
 ing has been developed as a substitute
 to deceive a submarine commander as to
 course and speed.
 Camouflage on land still is success
 fully applied along the lines of protec-
 tive coloring, by which guns and roads
 and men are made virtually invisible un-
 der screens which blend with the sur
 rounding terrain. In the case of moving ships, under conditions constantly chang ing. and the elusive horizon always a
 difficult matter to deal with, similar
 principles were found less efficient than those which frankly admit the existence of a boat, but by peculiar color schemes offer the torpedo such a queer, deceptive target that a hit is only matter of luck.
 Iiertenant Commander Norman WillIin- son. Royal naval volunteer reserve, the inventor of 'baffle painting came to the conclusion after long experiment that the moment submarine comes to the surface within striking distance, no method of painting would render ship sufficiently invisible to escape being seen. "There was a time,' the artist says, when I thought it possible to increase or decrease a ships visibility. But that ', was before the submarine was consid- cred as real active factor in naval warfare
 His decision took into consideration the submarine hydrophone, by which the presence of ship, her probable size ana | her course can be ascertained under wa | ter. The problem, therefore, was re- solved into rendering the ship as dlf1i- cult to hit as possible and baffle paint l ins tbe only present nationally accepted method of marine camouflage, was evolved.
 | AIM THROWN OFF
 | Ra'ffle painting is simply project for i breaking up all accepted forms Of snll | by masses of strongly contrasting col ols, distorting her appeara ace so as .o destroy her general symmetry and oulk | The idea is totally to mislead the sub | marine, Of course, some vessels SC
 painted have been also sunk, but there are records of a far greater number al which torpedoes were fired unsuecess- i fully. Equally important, much iarsel proportion of baffle painted vesseis Wniei a., hit hv torpedoes are able to make hort than ships painted gray, owing '' ! explosion in less vulnerable parts. Th' aim of the submarine is thrown off bS
 the camouflage. Freouent reports, appearing sometimes l in the newspapers, confirm the sueees, I of +he system. and prove it's value o | defense against the submarine, Ih' newspa pers recently contained stors of an encounter between baffle painted freighter and a German u-boat Tn whici
