readiest manner. Bonds issued to women under their initials, or under the initials of their husbands, are not readily transferable in case of the death of the holder. The letters of ad- ministration would be issued in the legal name of the deceased, and the bonds would be inscribed in her name, under her initials, or those of her hus- band, as the case might be. The let ters of administration and the bonds would not agree as to the name, and therefore the administrator of Mrs. Sarah A. Smith, say, would have to prove that she and Mrs. Thomas w. Smith Cor Mrs. S. Smith) were one and the same person. It is to avoid troubles of this character that the de- partment has insisted on receiving the legal name of persons subscribing for registered bonds. Of course, the de- partment cannot refuse to issue bonds under initials if the parties interested insist upon it, but it is requested that you, in all cases where it is possible, insist on receiving the full names of persons subscribing for registered bonds."

SPANISH INFLUENZA
Is This Mysterious Infection a New
 Kind of German Offensive?

Is This Mysterious Infection a New
 Kind of German Offensive?
 Is this new disease which has al- ready killed hundreds and stricken thousands of our soldiers and civilians new German war offensive? If not, how did it happen that this epidemic appeared so suddenly and extensively in such widely scattered cities and army camps throughout the country?
 Smitten as from bolt from clear sky, thousands of Americans have been suddenly prostrated in many widely separated parts of the country during the past ten days, by disease which is called, apparently for want of a better name, Spanish Influenza" Naturally, under all the circum- stances, there is much speculation re- garding the matter. Perhaps because there seems to be rather natural dis position to ascribe about everything that is perfidious in the world today to Germany, some have ventured the guess that the disease may have been introduced and spread by German agents. This theory, however, is gen erally considered as being not only entirely groundless but really absurd, for it seems hardly conceivable that, if Germany undertook an offensive of this kind, she would choose such a mild and humane sort of disease. A much more plausible explanation would seem to be the simple fact that the recent cold snap caught the coun- try entire unprepared for such se- were weather and, as a result of our unheated dwellings and other build ings and the inadequate clothing tha. was being worn, large numbers of people in different sections of the country contracted colds, which devel- oped in many cases into pneumonia and resulted in an unusual number of deaths.
 Almost always at this season of the year colds are frequent and they often result fatally; and it may well be that, but for the high tension of these stren- uous war times, this epidemic would not have attracted unusual attention. In any event there seems to be no oc- casion for special alarm or panic about the matter, for the disease is evidently one which the American medical pro- fession is perfectly able to handle and, moreover, effective measures are being taken, wherever it appears, to check it and destroy its power. It is impor- tant, however, at all times-and cer- tainly no less important now--for each individual to secure prompt medical attention for all cases of so-called "cold" or grippe" This is necessary for the conservation of the health of the community as well as the welfare of the individual.

and one who has proved his patriot ism and efficiency by his work in France.
 The platform as adopted is as fol- lows. =. Platform of the Republican Party of
 Arizona, 1918
 The Republican party council duly assembled at the capitol at Phoenix on the first day of October, 1918, here by adopts the following program:
 The Republican party of the state of Arizona declares that the employ ment of the entire man power, and of all the physical, financial and indus trial resources of the nation in the prosecution of the war to complete victory, transcends all other questions before the state and the nation. We declare that it is the supreme task of the civilized world to crush the Ger man military autocracy until it has ceased to be menace. We demand a victory so complete and conclusive that it will insure civilization against another war for Teutonic domination.
 We accord to the brave men of our country who have already laid down their lives for the cause of liberty, to those who are fighting for us over seas, and to those who are about to go. the honor and gratitude they so richly deserve, and we hail with pride the splendid victories already achieved by American arms.

HOW MANY BONDS
 SHOULD YOU BUY?
 READ THE ANSWER

The Well-To-Do Subscriber - We have emphasized the fact that the backbone of the Liberty Loan cam paign is the distribution to all citizens (of whom the great proportion have moderate means), of their full quota of Liberty Loan Bonds, calling atten- tion to the fact that so per cent of the money raised in the Twelfth District for the Third campaign came from subscriptions of 10000 or less. It is not intended thereby to detract from the importance of obtaining from wealthy individuals and corporations the large subscriptions which are ab- solutely necessary, and certainly it is not desirable to lose sight of the ne- cessity for obtaining a full subscrip- tion from the moderately well-to-do. The Treasury Department has called our attention to the fact that in the last loan only 1,319 subscribers in the Twelfth District subscribed for more than $10,000 worth of bonds, express ing the belief that a far larger num- Der of our citizens should make sub scriptions in excess of this amount. Obviously, in the Fourth campaign a $20,000 subscription will correspond to $l0,000 subscription for the Third loan. The department adds:
 "We feel that the ruling of the
 Treasury Department recently
 sent you, by which the banks are
 instructed to give full information
 as to names of subscribers and
 amounts of subscriptions, will be
 a great help to you in bringing
 about this desired result"
 How Much Should I Give?-This query is closely related to the neces- sity for larger subscriptions, above referred to. Many statistical compu- tations have been made. For ourselves, we do not think better answer can be given than the following from the Dallas committee: Allow yourself enough money to purchase the bare necessities of life, and conduct busi- ness essential to the war, devoting the balance of your earning power to your country in the form of subscriptions to Liberty Loans."
 The remark of Mir. H. P. Davison of the American Red Cross applies with as great force to patriotic investment in Liberty Bonds as to patriotic con- tribution. MT. Davison stated that people who do not subscribe in propor- tion to their means for the salvation of democracy and of their homes will "remain forever marked men and women in their community"
 In Registering Bonds Give Name in Full-The Treasury Department com ments on this point as follows:
 "With reference to accepting sub scriptions for bonds to be registered in the names of persons giving only initials rather than the full name, l have to say that it is the intent of the department, not for it's own sake, but for the sake of the holders of reg istered bonds, to have them registered in such manner as to enable the said holders, or their legal representatives, to dispose of them in the simplest and

 Party Council Held. ..
 On Tuesday at noon the members of the party council, consisting of the of- ficers of the state committee, the can didates and the national committee men and the county chairman, pro ceeded to the office of the secretary of state, who convened the party coun- cil. Albert M. Sames, state chairman, was chosen chairman of the party council, and Andrew Baumert, Jr., sec retary. Judge Richard K. Sloan, chair man of the committee on platform resolutions, presented the party plat form, which was adopted. It declares in favor of prosecution of the war to complete victory; points with pride to the support given the present ad- ministration by the Republicans in Congress; denounces he I. w. w. and the practice of candidates for office of catering to this organization; ex- nresses the conviction that the deci- sion of he Supreme Court in the con- test case was not in accord with the facts and strongly indorses Governor Campbell for reelection.
 The platform halls Thomas Maddock as candidate untained by pacifism
The Coconino sun., 1918-10-04

We are proud of those leaders and members of the Republican party in Congress who have given such splen- did support to the present admins tration and have rendered such effec- tive aid in the enactment of the great war measures. We deplore the dis position wherever manifest to make the war partisan affair and to cap italize politically war activities. We insist that the business of war upon which the country is now engaged is the business of all the people of this land irrespective of political affilia- tions.
 We condemned the I. w. w., whose object it is to embarrass the nation in the prosecution of the war. We maintain that there is no place in the country today for those disloyal in act, teachings or thought. We abhor the tendency among some officials of the state, and candidates for office, to cater to those who are attempting to impede he efficiency of the nation in it's present struggle.
 We contend that Hon. Thomas E. Campbell was duly elected governor of Arizona in 1916 by the voters of the state. We are convinced that the decision of the court, by which he was deprived of his office and the com pensation for his services, was purely a political one and not in accord with the facts in the case. We are satis- fled that the great majority of the people of the state of Arizona are con- vinced that he was legally elected to that office and that, in sense of fair play, they will re-elect him by an overwhelming majority.
 By the reelection of Governor Campbell, a government that shall be marked by efficiency and economy, by broad and impartial consideration that shall be given to the claims of every interest and of every section and, above all, to the loyalty of the national government the times so im- peratively demand, will be assured to the people of the state.
 We urge in this connection the inn portance of the election of our entire state ticket and of a legislature that will be in accord win the state ad. ministration in it's effort to promote the ends of good government.
 We present as our candidate for our representative in Congress one whose Americanism is untainted by pacifism; one who has never doubted the right. eousness of American participation in the war; one who proves his faith by his works, and who is fighting in France impeleld wholly by sense of duty and love of country.
 Thomas Maddock is splendidly auali- fled by character, energy and ability to represent our great state in the House of Representatives in times of peace. The experince he has gained as one of our gallant and victorious American army especially fits him to render services of high order at this time both to the state and to the na- tion. We commend him to the pa- triotic people of the state in the fullest confidence that his candidacy will meet with their approval and be fol- lowed by his election.

north of Comanche and one mile
north of Downing. From all reports
Mr.. Minis and his associates were
fortunate indeed in securing this
block of acreage. Several geolo-
gists OF more than ordinary prom

locality and while the report of
none OF them is available the sub

represent The location lies lust

vicinity this arm is upliftcd to a
considerable extend, forming what
indeed looks like a promising struc-
