rather Costello was somewhat dis
appointed when he learned on Sun
day afternoon that Hon. j. ]. Myers
of Carroll, who was to have made
the patriotic address was unable to
keep his appointment. He was for
tunate, however, in securing John p.
FINLEY. prominent attorney from
Council Bluffs to take his place. The
audience, too, seemed well pleased
with the substitute, judging from
the way in which they applauded his
patriotic utterances.
during Mr. Tinley's discourse he
said that had it not been for the he
rOic efforts of bleeding Belgium
backed by the French army, the bat
tie with the Huns would now be on
American soil instead of across the
waters. He said further: with the
German people we have no fight, on
ly the Hun and the war machine of
Germany. We do not want a foot
of German soil nor a penny Of their
money. We want the German peo-
pie to see the light as we do and
when the war is finished they will
enjoy American freedom and q world
democracy"
He was unrelenting in his crit
icism OF the young man of draft age
who fought harder to get an exemp-
ton than he did for his country
And he paid his compliments to the
Stacker who did not support the var
ious agencies through which the
government sought to free the world.
1t was one of the ablest patriotic
addresses ever heard in Audubon,
and Father Costello is to be con-
graduated and commended for bring
ing in our midst so able and patriot
ic gentleman as Attorney J. p. Tin
ley.

rs YOUR CONSCIENCE CLEAR?

There onl y two classes Of Americans today.
One class is composed Of PATRIOTS The other class is
composed of traitors The the traitors
weeded out, the sooner the war will end.
If you do not buy Liberty Bonds until it hurts,
you not patriot YOur conscience tells you
what ybu are and the your conscience clear
the sooner this world war will end
You will be asked to buy Liberty Bonds some time
during April There is absolutely no argument
against it. Prepare yourself to subscribe to the
greatest amount you can purchase, and then buy
other and another, until you feel like pauper. And
do it gladly Don't argue complain to the person
who asks you to buy. He she is giving his her
time, without remuneration, to the of freedom
And remember this: When you buy Liberty Bonds
you are putting money into your own pocket. You
doing nothing more and nothing less than lend
ing your money to the United States, for which it
will poy you interest. By buying Liberty Bonds you
are not paving way to heaven for yoirself-don't
think that-but you doing your part to sustain
the government that makes your dollar worth 100
cents. If your government does not win, with it's
allies, your dollar will look like exploded balloon.
It's up to you.

WAR NEWS ROUSES
AMERICAN SPIRIT
IN MINING CAMPS

MIAMI, Ariz., April 2.-SeiZure of
two l. W. w. organizers here by Fed
eral authorization, one for deportation
to Spain and the other for deporta-
tion to Italy, the conduct of a tar and
feathers party at Bisbee for an I. w.
w. organizer, and similar rebuke given
pro-German at Jerome-all of these
occurrences within the last week
give a glimpse of the uplift in fight
ing American spirit which has come
about in the mining districts with the
news of the German drive Arrest of
the men here was due to information
furnished by persons who had been
approached but whose Americanism
was not aroused to resentment and
action until bad war news arrived.
Many Withdrawals have occurred from
l. w. W. association and members of
that organization and the horde of
vagrants following in their train have
come under more open displeasure
and serious consideration as a menace
to the welfare of the country than
ever before.

The Ray Consolidated Copper COM
pany has shown generous spirit in
offering terms to their employees for
subscriptions Ito the Third Liberty
Loan. The company intends to pur-
chase bonds for employees and carry
the bonds until paid for, without
charging any interest on the money
used in purchasing the bonds. This
means, when the man has paid $50,
he will receive his bond with the in
terest coupons attached. Should he
not be able to complete the payments
on account of sickness or other rea-
sons, the company will refund the full

selling charges for the bonds or the
accrued interest. This is one of the
most generous propositions that has
been made by any Of the mining com
panies in Arizona The notice to the

HUNS RENEW
DRIVE WITH
AM|ENS GOAL

After luII of several days, brought
about by heavy rains, and by the
necessity of bringing up their heavy
artillery before they can advance far
ther, the German offensive on the
Western front was renewed on Thurs
day, with terrific thrust in the direc-
ticn of Amiens, the great British sup
ply base, and one of the main object
ives of the German drive. The Brit
ish have been forced to give ground
in the region of HameI, and the
French were forced back farther south
in the triangle formed by the Avre
and Luce rivers. Heavy German at
tacks south of Albert were repulsed
by the British troops. The London
war office yesterday announced that
German assaults between the Loos
and the sonme had pressed the Brit
ish back for short distance to new
positions, which are being held.
Over 100000 German troops were
hurled against the French on front
of nine miles between Grivesnes and
the Amens-Roye road, and succeeded
in pushing the French back for a
Slight gain.
Heavy artillery firing leads to the
belief that even heavier attacks may
be expected before the Hun offensive
can be said to have worn itself out.
An outstanding feature of the
weeks operations was the sending in
to action of 100000 American troops,
who are to be brigaded with their
allies whenever necessary to preserve
the requisite number of trained men
in the fighting line. just where the
Americans have been stationed has
not been disclosed, but it is assumed
that they are cooperating with both
British and French units in Picardy,
and news of their actively engaging
the Huns is expected hourly.

3RD LIBERTY
LOAN DRIVE
OPENS TODAY

With more than 100000 American
fighting men going into action this
week in the greatest battle in history
to halt the Hun and crush the men,
ace to civilization, Uncle Sam is call
ing for subscriptions on the part of
those at home to the Third Liberty
Loan, the campaign for which opens
Saturday. That Arizona will go over
the top in record time is confidently
expected, and that the quota of 49,,
100000 which has been assigned to
serve district will be greatly exceeded,
is the hope of every 100 per cent
American in the state. Mr.. L. S.
Gates has been named as chairman of
the campaign committee in this coun-
ty, and he expects the cooperation of
every man, woman and child in this
community.
Flight or Buy Bonds" is to be the
slogan in the Third Liberty Loan cam
paign, which has as it's object the
raising of money to make the world
decent place to live in. Bonds of
the Third Liberty Loan will bear
higher rate of interest than any bonds
yet issued by the government, four
and quarter per cent; but even if
there was not this selfish reason for
buying them, they would still be the
best investment in the world. Like
the bonds of the first and second is
sues, they are backed by the entire
resources of the richest nation on the
globe, and are the safest securities
money can buy.
Every man, woman or child is ready
to buy bonds and to loan his or her
money to Uncle Sam at a good rate
of interest. For every $100 bond
bought, the government pays $4.25
each year. Contrast this with money
paid as taxes, for which only q re-
! ceipt is given. Receipts bear no in
terest and they have no maturity date.
Uncle Sam must have money, and il
he can't get it by borrowing, it will
be taken in taxes. The more bonds
bought, the less likely it is that all
methods of war taxation will be great
ly increased.

EAT FLAGSTAFF
SPUDS, rs SLOGAN

PHOENIX, April 5.-Push the sale
of Flagstaff potatoes.
This is the import of letter sent
out today by the federal food admin
istrator for Arizona to all county food
administrators, asking them to urge
their dealers to handle the Arizona
product in preference to the inferior
grades of potatoes sent in from neigh
boring states.
The action was taken in response
to a letter from DeLore Nichols,
county agricultural agent for Coco
nino county. With the approach of
warm weather, says Mr.. Nichols, the
Flagstaff growers stand in danger
of losing some 40 carloads, which
have been held over from last year
because of the flooding of local mar
kets from the coast.
An immense acreage was planted
in the northern potato district last
season in response to a patriotic ap-
peal and the food administration is
lending its support to the growers by
creating a market for the present
surplus, if possible.
The potatoes in question are of
excellent quality and with proper
care should last the consumer sew
eral weeks. There is danger of spoil
age, however, where they are kept in
storage

CONTEST OF JUNIOR
MINUTE MEN WILL BE
BIG DRAWING CARD

The Junior Four-Minute Men war
savings contest is now under way in
the sixth, seventh and eighth grades
of the Lincoln school, and rivalry is
growing keener among the grades as
the abilities of their "star" orators
are developed.
The final contest to decide who
shall be Junior Four-Minute Men upon
the topic of "War Savings for the
School, will be held at the Ray Con.
club house on Thursday evening,
April II, at 7:30.
The "try-out" to determine who
shall compete for the appointment of
Junior Four Minute Man upon WAR
savings will be held at the school On
Monday. In addition to the appoint
ment, a prize has been offered to the
winner by Mrs. L. S. Gates.
1t is hoped that a great many peo-
pie will attend the contest, and give
encouragement to the young orators,
who are in this way doing their "bit"
TO help the government.
An elimination contest having de-
termined the best speaker from each
grade, these grade champions will
clash in the club house before the
entire school, and such parents as de-
sire to encourage their patriotic eff
forts.
The winner for the entire school,
or for such division of grades as may
be adjudged most fair to the younger
pupils by the principal, will receive
an official certificate from the gov
ernment at Washington, affirming the
appointment as Junior Four Minute
Man upon war savings; and the names
of all such winners will be recorded
at the capital.
To assist the young orators in the
preparation of their speeches, a spe-
tcial bulletin, based upon the War Saw
ings Bulletin of the Division of Four
Minute Men of the committee on pub
lie information and revised especially
for the children by noted educator
has been supplied to each school
through Mr.. Gates, chairman of the
war savings committee for Ray.
1t is confidently expected that local
interest in war savings will be most
materially augmented by this con
centration of the children's attention
upon the matter; and that the result
will be a greatly increased sale OF
Thrift Stamps and of War Savings
Stamps to the credit of this com.
munity.

 When Alexander. who is rated as the leading pitcher in the Natisnal league, was purcha sed from the Phil adelphia club. it was agreed that if either he or Catcher Killifer was drafted at any time previous to thirty days before the opening of the 1918 season the transaction for the player taken into the military service would be cancelled.

Mana ger of Giants to Spend Vacation
 in ' Warmer Clime

New York, Jan. 1G.-Manager John
 J. McGraw of the Giants left yester-
 day for Havana. where he will spend
 a months vacation before going to
 the New York clubs spring training
 mas been busy this winter arranging
 the Herzog trade to his liking, and
 he had to bring about a three-cor-
 ncrcd deal to get rid of his tempera-
 mcntal second ebaseman and arrange
 for the return of Larry Doyle
 All of McGraw's players arc in line
 and as there is nothing more to worry
 about now until the spring trip be- gins, he has decided to go to Cuba and try to improve his golf game Also 1 1t is expected that the races. which arc now in full swing, will come in for McGraW's cautious attention,
 Manager McGraw is well satisfied with the acquisition of Jesse Barnes and Larry Doyle. and now believes that the Giants are in excellent shape for another hard pennant campaign. The Giants righthanders did not come up to the managers expectations last season, and he took on Al Demaree late in the season hoping to bolster up the righthanded section of the staff. Demaree did not fill the bill, but he has confidence that Barnes will add great strength to the twiring de- partment. McGraw also looks for Tes. reau to show improvement next sea. son, as he believes the big boxman still has several good years of service ahead of him.
