THREE THOUSAND. NAMES ON LISTS.
 OF BOND BUYERS.

There are only about 5000 names on the Honor Roll of Liberty bond buyers in Phoenix. This is about one third or at most only one half of the number there should be in this city on that roll.
 Wake up, Phoenix" is the slogan of the state chairman and county Chair man Joseph R. Loftus, with City Chairman Lamar Cobb. are speeding up the workers in every part of the community.
 We can't afford to be the last state on the list of the Pacific division and we won't is the word being passed along by the public spirited men who are doing their share by assisting in such an able way in putting over the loan.
 Keeping the Records
 The headquarters of the Liberty loan on Washington street has had busy time for the past few days. Three thousand bond buyers have been card indexed and listed with name, address and amount. This is a ready reference file for the 100 per cent Americans in this part of Arizona. The file is being examined for the slackers, trimmers and dodgers. There are some in every community-less, it is believed, in Phoenix than elsewhere. The list is to be printed in the daily papers in feT days. Several people have looked themselves in the face' and increased their bond purchases since the begin ming of the campaign. Some citizens are in doubt as to the amount they should purchase. The county and city chairmen will be glad to advise with any who are in doubt and help them arrange a subscription which is worthy l of their name and position.
 The Navy Helps Both Ways From Mare Island, the great navy yard in California, the sum of S554 300 was subscribed by 6S6 men employed there. This is a great showing and ! promises to be a record. Mare Island 1 held the record for the second loan and is hoping to win that honor again. Yavapai County Makes Good Showing From County Chairman Viele at Prescott the report is received that 30 i per cent of the population of Yavapai | county has subscribed for third Liberty | loan bonds. If Maricopa expects to equal this total there must be 10000 bond buyers more and nearly 10000 | in Phoenix. It is time to get very, very busy.
 Victory Costs Little
 San Francisco officials say that yic- tory is worth every cent of the 250 1 billion dollars estimated wealth of the country. It may cost that sum but if we fail of victory it will cost us all our dollars and, what is more, our self respect, our honor, and the honor of our women. For confirmation of any statements made read the report of Viscount Bryce on the Belgian atroci- ties.
 What Bonds are Worth The credit of the United States in 1900 was such that two per cent bonds were offered at par and were over subscribed. United States four per cent bonds sold as high as $130 in 1888 and in the open market in 1901 brought $139. Of course with the wealth of 110 millions of people back of the Liberty loan bonds they are the best security on earth.
 Some Examples of the "Liberty Spirit
 An old confederate soldier lay dy- ing in his humble home here the other day. A Liberty loan bond worker was beating retreat when the veteran called him to his bedside and said Don't go. I want a thousand dollar bond. I'm dying and it's my last chance to serve my country"
 Another Liberty loan worker, getting no response at the front door of a small home here, went around back He found woman bending over her wash tub and asked her if she would take S100 bond.
 Wait a minute" said the woman, drying her hands of the seapy water T want $1,500 worth. It's money from a mortgage. I was getting eight per cent on it, but I want Uncle Sam to have it''
