u. S. INCREASES INTEREST
ON NEW CERTIFICATES

An interest rate of Az per cent will
be borne by future issues Of Treasury
certificates of Indebtedness planned in
preparation for the third liberty loan,
Secretary McAdoo has announced. This
rate will be one-half per cent more
than issues of the immediate past.
The announcement was accompanied
with the statement that the five-hun-
dred m illion- dollar block of certifi-
Gates, closed last week, was subscribed
in full only because banks in New York
and other big financial centers took
more than their share and offset the
scanty subscriptions from the rest of
the country.
About $500. 100000 in certificates re-
mains to be issued at the higher rate
before the third loan campaign, prob
ably in April, and the rate for all will
be ~ per cent.
This increase in the rate offers an in
dication of the Treasury's perspective
on money market conditions, which
may affect the next liberty loan. The
second liberty loan, issued at per
cent. was preceded by several issues of
certificates at 3h per cent. but this
rate was increased to per cent for
the last blocks before the second loan.
A similar situation preceded the first
loan, which was at 3h per cent. In
both cases the interest rate of the loan
was the same as the rate on the last
issues of certificates preceding.

strength was offset, in part. by a drop
of 2 points in st. Paul common and pre-

WINS. BELOW QUOTA
 IN SALE Of BONDS

Williams is far behind in the sale of Liberty Bonds. While the exact amount that Williams should raise has not vel been d determined, due to the fact that the method of determining the quota has not yet been deter mined upon, it is plainly appar- ent that Williams is still far be- hind in her quota by whatever method determined. And this in spite of the fact that the Town has heretofore invariably gone over the top in response to every patriotic call. The Pub Iicity Committee, headed by MT. Ed Hamilton, has been working hard to increase sales, and their work has brought good results, but many more bonds must be sold. The com mittee reports that the people of small means have responded we'll, and that sone people of larger means have done their share, but others of larger means are still in the list of money slackers.
 Bonds may be purchased on easy terms, a small payment down and another payment in sixty days and thes other pay ments later. Anyone wishing to buy bond should apply at the bank at once. Our boys are now on the battle front and ev- cry bond that is purchased will help save American lives by giving these boys every advan- tage of equipment and supplies.

QUOTAS FOR THIRD
 LIBERTY LOAN

Word comes from San Fran cisco that the quotas for the several counties in Arizona for the Third Liberty Loan have been decided upon. The off cials in the Bay City advise all local committees against undue confidence in securing the amounts asked. It is anticipat- ed that some communities will be inclined to relax their eff forts as the quotas asked for this time are less than for the Second Loan. It is pointed out that there is need for making this Third Loan one of all the people.
 It is suggested that the num- Der of subscribers be doubled as compared with the figures for the Second Liberty Loan drive; also that the amount be oversubscribed by a large sum. The value of freely subscribing to Liberty Loans as against the paying of the cost of the war in taxes is apparent to all. For taxes you get nothing but a receipt. This is of no value. It bears no interest. The Liber- ty Bond is an interest bearing security and when the bond natures, the full amount of the face value of the bond is paid the owner. A big contrast to the taxation method.
 Of course, certain moneys must be secured by taxation. It would be unwise to raise the entire cost of the war by bond issues, but a readiness on the part of the people to buy bonds will be the best for the country in the end.
 The quota for Coconino and Mohave counties is $345,000 and the evidence of the willing ness of the people to back up the men in the trenches by SUD- porting the Liberty Loan, is the most convincing evidence of patriotism. Be full pat riot : not one that is always round the corner when the country calls. If you cannot be on the firing line, be on the Lib erty Loan Line. All citizens cannot be on the Honor Roll of battle fame, but there is fight ing to be done at home, and the Honor Roll of Liberty Bond buyers should be a list of every citizen, in every community, in this smiling land.

ID GIVE
 S1OO ID WINS. R. |.

MT. Roy $. Goodrich, State Director of the Red Cross, has written to Mrs. w. M. Hughes, chairman of the local Canteen Service, that she may use $1OO for the service, for which he will be responsible. While here in March, MT. Goodrich offered to secure money for the canteen fund here, from the Phoenix chapter, and writes that tho his business has kept him busy outside of Phoenix and he has not been able to bring up this matter before the Phoenix chapter, that he is cer- tain of the answer to his sug- gestion. This assistance, at this time, is most convenient, for many troops are being moved to and from California and it is doubtful if the local chapter could have met the heavy eX- penses incurred in dispensing comfort to all the troops. Some of the soldiers would have been neglected had it not been for the kindly interest taken by MT. Goodrich.
 Phoenix is so located that none of the troop trains pass thru there and consequently no canteen service is possible. As this is one of the most vital departments of the American Red Cross, it is but natural to think that the Phoenix Chapter will gladly lend aid to cheer up the enlisted men passing thru Arizona.
 Apples, cigarettes and cur rent numbers of magazines are given to the men, thus breaking the monotony of the long trip to the Atlantic coast, and pro- ducing a realization of the whole-hearted interest of the people who must stay at home, for the boys who are going Gov CT there"
 At this time, when 10000 young American women are be- ing sent to France as "Canteen- CTS" the importance of this Red Cross work is made apparent to the American people. Will Hams is very fortunate in hay ing been designated as a can teen station by the Government.

STORE AT ASH. FORK
 Is BURGLAR|zED

A report has reached Will Hams of the robbing of George Washington's Store, at Ash Fork, last week. Dates are not available but the story is inter esting.
 In the absence of MT. Yoder, the butcher had been sleeping at the store and awoke one night to find that the store was being robbed. The thief es- capped with a quantity of hard ware and guns, and left no clue except that he was a Mex ican man. This episode so ex- cited the butcher that he refus- ed to sleep in the store again.
 Norman Nellis was then ask ed to care for the place at night and he eagerly assented, hop ing for little fun. He was not disappointed. Several nights after he began wooing Nor pheus in tAe store, he was walk ened by a noise at a window. Investigation showed a young man prying open the window. MT. Nellis watched for a good chance and nabbed the intrud- CT. When he was turned over to an officer by Nellis, he prov ed to be a former inmate of the Whittier Reform School and stated that he had entered the store with the intention of rob- ping the safe.
 MT. Nellis is still keeping shop" at night but looks for an early return of MT. Yoder.
