ons April and October 18th each year.
The terms Of payment will be, first
payment 10 per cent; second, 20 per
cent, November 21; third 20 per cent,
December 10Th; fourth 20 per cent,
January 16; and fifth 30 per cent, JAM
uary 80. The denomination of the
bonds will be the same as before; the
maturity and the amount of the loan
have not been announced at the time
of this writing. However, it seems
probable that the loan will be for six
billions, which would make the quota
Of Gunnison County about twice as
much as before. Yet in the last Loan
Gunnison County more than doubled
its quota In this campaign the slog-
an is, "Reach the quota and STOP" So
the demand on us will be no greater
than we voluntarily and enthusiastic
ally met in the Third Loan.
On the other hand, if our quota
when announced, shall be found to
vary materially from that which has
just been indicated, it is assuring to
know that all quotas are worked out
in the most equitable manner possible.
Abnormal conditions, such as crop
failures and the exigencies which COM
their borrowings are taken into con-
sideration in determining the quotas.
For instance, here is bank in a
county with normal conditions. The
bank, let us say, has $500 900 individ-
ual deposits, and >S500,000 in loans.
Now the basic factor on which the
quota is computed would be worked
out IN this way. The individual de-
posts would be discounted by 20 per
cent of the loans, or SfO0.OO0! SO the
basic factor would be $4,000 But
here is bank in another county
where conditions are abnormal. The
individual deposits are S500,000 but
the loans are $75O,000. The first dis
court Of 30 per cent would bring the
basic factor down to $3.50, 900; but an
additional discount of from per cent
to 40 per cent, which is granted for alb
normal conditions will bring the basic
factor still lower. If the extreme dis
count OF 40 IS allowed, then S14O,0O0
more viii be taken from the 5000,
making the actual basis on which the
quota is computed to be $4,000. So
our Quota, whatever it may be, will
be as equitable as the best banking
practice can make it.
The slogan "Reach your quota and
stop, VIII commend 1ISeil eNeTyWHele
but there is one feature of the situa-
ton which must not be lost sight of.
If we are to do that, it is evident that
every state, every county and every
single district MUST REACH IFS
s QIi7TA. or there VIII be 4 SHORT
AGE IN THE TOTAL. If there be go
districts in Gunnison County and 30 of
them raise their quota, while one dis

County total will be short just in the
measure of that delinquent districts
failure. To reach our quota and stop,
every nook and corner Of the county
must reach its full quota. But the
county which more than doubled its
quota IN the Third Liberty Loan, is
not going to fail in the Fourth. Here's
for over the top, when the intensive
campaign closes on Saturday, October
18th. Let there be no ~shorts" or

ALL SET FOR GREAT
| LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE
II the Next Three Weeks We Must Raise
100000. Captains and Lieutenants
Are Appointed

The Americans at home are about
to launch another drive on Berlin.
Everybody ready! The Fourth Liber-
ty Loan Campaign will open Saturday,
September 2Sth, and for three weeks,
or until Saturday, October 18th, every
body who wants to take q straight
biff at the Potsdam gang can get in
by buying bond. Bonds buy muni-
tions, uniforms, food, and our boys,
equipped with these things, keep Fritz
on the hump for Berlin. There is no
let up over there; there must be no
let up over here. The first week of
this campaign we are to move up to
the firing line, the front trenches;
that is We are to get ready for busi-
ness. We shall find out exactly what
Uncle Sam wants us to do. Public
meetings will be held in cities, towns,
school districts and communities; and
the newspapers will carry the story
into every home. In Gunnison, Crest
ed Butte, and Somerset, it is expected
that some returned soldier, or equally
interesting speaker, will address great
community meetings, while in the less
populous centers, entertainers, rein
live meeting. The county papers will
carry full page display ads.
The second week, beginning October
7th, will set US at our real work. On
Monday, October 7th, the active can
vass for subscriptions will begin, con-
tinuing throughout the week and clos
ing on Saturday, October 18th, which
is Columbus Day. This is q national
holiday, and Gunnison County, along
with every other place under the Stars
and Stripes, must go over the top in
. blaze Of glory. The last week Of the
campaign October IA to 10 inclusive, is
to be devoted to the work of cleaning
up short subscriptions and looking up
~slackers." Surely, there will be little
to do in Gunnison County in this last
week. .-,..sSlsss-,s ,s.s,..s =.

WHAT ABOUT COPPER AFTER
THE WAR?

FWhat will copper do after the
war;" is the question that is now
absorbing the interest Of the copper
world.-Wall Street Journal
That the potential demand will be
enormous is generally conceded. But
it is pointed out that the usual refer
ences to various important future
sources of demand, such as the re-
habilitation of Europe, or the whole
sale electrification of the railroads
in the United States, have been more
or less academic, and these fields of
absorption cannot be counted on until
conditions in this country have be-
come fairly stable and the reconstruc-
tion of Europe is well in progress.
1t is claimed that the present
huge consumption would result in a
price SO per cent to rs per cent high
er than the governments maximum
of 26 cents, were the market permit
ted free movement, and on this basis
a demand amounting to only 56 per
cent to 81 per cent of the current
war requirements would sustain a
price of 26 cents in an open market
If this theory is correct, domestic
consumption and exports combined
would need total only at the rate of
1850, 100000 to 1,600,00O,0O0 lbs.
annually in order to uphold the
present price. In 1913 exports alone
of copper in all forms amounted to
1913, ,292,612 pounds.
The apparent consensus is that the
trend of prices in either direction
will be gradual, subject to the normal
fluctuations of an open market The
situation is generally regarded, how
ever, as possessing elements Of un-
precedented interest and perplexities.

OLD TIMER PASSES AWAY.
sry sincerely,
NELLIE T. BUSH.

Dennis A. Burke, one of the most
prominently known of Yavapai pio-
neers, but, since 1909 a resident of
Bouse, passed away at Mercy hospi-
tai in Prescott on Sunday afternoon.
His fight against the inevitable was
heroically endured for nearly two
years, his illness being due to the bite
OF a vinegeron, more commonly
known among the indians as "The
Child of the Earth" a small-sized in
sect. He was attacked by this dead
ly creature at night while sleeping
out on a cot at his hotel at Bouse
during warm weather, the fangs
penetrating his hand and from that
day his health declined The wound
for months afterward did not appear
to cause him any serious trouble,
much less was there pain at the time
The death of this popularity known
Arizonan takes away another pioneer
Of splendid fellowship and an exem-
plary citizen.
Surviving is a widow, who was
with him in devotion to the end.
Three daughters and one son also
are left, Mrs. J. w. Kramer, Mrs. F.
A. Cartmell, Mrs. E. Goodwin, and
Beverley Burke.-Prescott Journal

LETTERS FROM FRANCE.

Mrs. G.. H. Hosfelt received a few
days ago a couple of letters, dated
October Sd and 5th, respectively,
from her son, Louis j. Hosfelt, who
is now with the American forces on
the fighting line in France. AS
nearly everybody in these parts
knew Lou Hosfelt, a few excerpts
from his letters may prove of inter
est In the first of these he says:
II don't believe l ever felt better
in my life Everything is about the
same here as far as l know, although
believe there will be peace before
long-it looks that way to me.
surely hope so because l am anxious
to get back to the states. But / do
want to stay till we give the Ger
mans good licking, and l hope that
won't be long in coming.
81 guess everything in Parker is
awfully~ quiet There was quite 4
bunch of boys drafted from there to
serve their country. ~
What little have seen of France
reminds me a whole lot of Phoenix
valley. They raise here all kinds of
fruit, but mostly grapes 1t is surely
rich country and it's lands are very
fertile.'
In the other letter he says in part
eve are at the front for so long a
time that I don't know whether l
like it or not, but there are all kinds
of excitement and many things to
see, all right.
81 would like to see you all and l
don't think it will be long before i
will be able to-not if they leave it
to the 'Yanks,'' for they certainly are
fighters, believe me!
France is a very pretty place but
I am little afraid<it is going to be a
bit too cold here to suit me this com
ing winter. However, can stand
it If the rest can"

SEIZURE LAW IS HELD UNCON-
STITUTIONAL,

Judge Sam L. Pattee, of the super
| ior court of Pima county, in the mat
| ter of Macarthur Brothers against the
state of Arizona, an action wherein
the company sought the recovery of
an automobile that had been seized
under the new prohibitory law, held
that the law was unconstitutional.
The cOmplainants attacked the con-
stitutionality of the law on three
points, as follows:
THAT the governors proclama-
tion calling the legislature into spe-
cial session did not provide for such
legislation
2-That the automobile seizure
was an additional punishment over
and above the penalty specified in
the state constitution.
3-That the law violated both the
state and federal constitutions in that
it did not provide the owner of the
automobile seized under the law with
due process of law to combat forfeit
ure proceedings.
The court sustained all Of the OBJ
jections.
In rendering his opinion Judge
Pattee observed:
''This law appears to have been
drawn by someone who was in favor
of prohibition, but not it's enforce
ment," and further stated: SAT the
beginning of the argument the court
expressed its opinion concerning this
remarkable statute perhaps unwisely,
but further study of it's provisions
has in no wise modified the views
there expressed. Why an act was
drawn which was subject to so many
objections is to the ordinary mind in
conceivable"

INDORSES WAR WORK.

That it is impossible for any gov

mission Of supplying the soldiers and
sailors wants as do the seven welfare
organizations combined in the United
War Work Campaign, is the state
ment Of Lieutenant-General Francis
Lloyd Of the British army, command
Ing the London district. Lord Mil

endorses this view with a statement
that the American fighters have
shown the benefits Of having these

is what Howard j. Smith, of King

from France:
"If it were not for the Y. M. C. A

'The Y. M. c. A. man caught up
with us yesterday (the regiment was
evidently advancing at the 'front.'

the village and when we asked for
candy the people threw up their
