Arizona republican., 1918-04-22
TIME HALF GONE;
 LESS THAN HALF
 QUOTA RAISED
Last Stretch of Liberty Loan
 Campaign Reached and
 Committees Have Huge Task Before Them to Win

Today marks the opening of the second half If the campaign for the third Liberty loan. For the next fourteen days the effort to make q big subscription for Arizona will be continued. The urst nair nas not been as successful as it was hoped it would be. Several communities in the state have reached the orig inal quotas fixed under the call for an estimated amount of two billions of dollars for the nation. Since the first figures were prepared and is sutd there has been issued q call to make tGe amount of the subscription five billions of dollars instead Of two Billions.
 Every community will have to double it's quota and then add 50 per cent of it's original allotment iu crder that the president and the secretary of thc treasury may not be disappointed. Maricopa county must hosin aga.n and more than double the amount secured. Phoenix must set into the Work, with every citizen pulling for a big subscription. \ lot oi those who have already subscribed should at once sec that their sub fFNi ti'NA'Alo eiAk hOubltA dlu tLDHC h nO have not yet made arrangements for Liberty bonds should do so at once in order to help the work Of the committees.
 Need 12,Oo0 Names
 There must be over 12.000 names on the honor roll of this county and a subscription of five or six millions of dollars without counting any big subscriptions from corpora tions and mining companies This means that for the next two weeks therc must be a great number Of one hundred per cent Americans do- ing their best in this part of the southwest.
 There must be a digging up of dollars that arc now in hiding and that are now shirking and that are now hedging. After four years of war and bond buying, the last loan in England averaged over one hun drcd dollars a head for every man, woman and child. With this as a basis to work on, Maricopa county after splendid crop year and with better year in sight, should come through with two hundred dollars per capita. There is no need to go into much detail regarding the bonds ex- ccpt Co say that:
 The Soldiers Part
 Back of the Liberty loan bonds there is wealth totalllng two hundred and fifty billions of dollars. increas- ing at the rate of forty billions a year.
 Why hesitate?
 Soldiers are dying by hundreds iu France and other foreign places. tc Keep your home safe and protect your women and children.
 Why argue about buying?
 Arizona would be destroyed dowr to tho smallest crossroads store anc blacksmith shop.
 And still you wonder why yot should buy.
 Instead of free men, you would bC slaves working for a master whC uses a steel club to kill off wounded soldiers.
 And yet you suggest it is mol your war,
 You love your happy home ant your fine farm.
 Yet you reckon few dollars now and risk losing all.
 Think of Him
 You think you have done your part But stop. Think of the soldier wht gives his life-who risks death in thousand forms. He has sacrifice, his future in business; his futur chances for happiness that you ar now enjoying through his efforts il your behalf He is taking a chanc on coming bacll-if he comes back leaving an arm CT a leg in France
 Your sacrifice consists in buyin the best interest bearing securit ever offered. You are not donatin cent, but becoming a stockholde in the greatest enterprise in the his tory of the world.
