Benson Route Best

The growing traffic to Tucson
via Benson is distinctly noticeable
and although the Pantano wash is
the bugbear of the entire route yet
the travelling public are taking it
in preference to the Empire Ranch
route owing to two facts. It is
shorter and business men see more
people and they are in touch with

GET THIS
THING STRAIGHT

why don't the Government an
range short term Loans? People
don't care to tie up their money for
ten. twenty, or thirty years"
How often do you hear these
words. Sometimes people say these
things because they really do not
understand the situation, and some-
times they say them because they
think it forms a good excuse for not
subscribing to the Liberty Loan.
In either case. they are wrong.
1t is just as easy to get at the
money invested in Liberty Bonds.
when the term for repayment is thirty
years, as when it is ten years.
Very few of the Bonds sold today
will be held by the original purchaser
when the Bonds are redeemed by the
Government Many purchasers will
die. many will deed away their Bonds.
many will sell. and probably sell at
o profit, IL only they will hold the
Bonds until the war is over.
When you buy bond you do it with
the idea OF lending the money to
your Government for just as long az
you can conveniently, without hurt
ing yourself or your business. When
you cannot lend this money any long.
er, then sell your Bond to some one
else.
Remember Just two things-as long
M you hold the Bond and the Gov.
eminent has the use of the money,
you are doing a sensible, patriotic
act, and drawing 40 interest. When
you pass the Bond to some one else,
you have ceased to help your Coun.
try, you have placed your responsi
bihties as an American citizen upon
somebody else's shoulders, and have
given up the safest investment in
the world.
Your banker still has some Liberty
Bonds on hand which he can sell
you. Go and talk 1t over with him.
He will tell you that you could not
possibly do as we'll with your money
as by purchasing these Bonds.

Soon Over His Cold

Every one speaks weel of Cham
Cough Remedy after having used
it. Mrs. George Lewis, Pittsheld
N. Y, has this to say regarding it:
Last winter my little boy, five
years old, was sick with a cold for
two or three weeks. I doctored
him and used various cough medi-
cines, but nothing did him much
eood until | began using Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. He then
improved rapidly and in a few
days was over his cold.
