PUTS HIS WEALTH
 IN DIBERTY BONDS
 IN RECENT DRIVE
John T. Bowles Invests His All; Makes Clear to His Class at Hi-Y School What Bonds Mean

A spirit of Americanism, of desire to assist the United States to the ut most, of fired enthusiasm through con tact with men of all nationalities, prompted the subscription of John T. Bowles to the fourth Liberty loan. MT. Bowles subscribed for S3OOO worth of bonds. He is only school teacher and this S30O0 represented all his wealth. But he subscribed with heartiness and willingness which is characteristic of the man who is al ways in contact with men of many nations.
 Mir. Bowles is the instructor of for eigners in the English language at the Warren district Y. M. c. A. Before he came to this district he spent many years in this same line of endeavor, and for several years he was at the head of the English teaching depart ment in the Los Angeles Y. NJ. c. A. For many years he has come into con stant contact with foreigners-men of Germany, Austria, Hungary. Bohemia, Turkey, Italy, France, Spain, Mexico, and all the other nations of the globe. He has taught them to understand the people of the United States and to talk with the people of this great land in their common language.
 When the last Liberty loan drive op- ened Mir Bowles met J. N. Gaines, chairman of the drive, at the Copper Queen hotel, in the office of the War ren district commercial club. He ex- plained that he had just placed on sale a piece of property in the mid dle eastern states, his former home, and that he wished to put the entire sale proceeds into the fourth Liberty loan. He did not believe that the money would reach this district before the close of the loan, and he wished to know what to do. MT. Gaines made arrangements to meet the first pay ments on the bonds, and advised MT. Bowles. Then one day, s3OOO came to the teacher at the Y. M. c. A.
 He went to the Bank of Bisbee and paid $500 for bonds. At the Miners & Merchants bank he laid on the counter another $500 for bonds Now he is explaining to his foreign friends in his foreign classes at the Y. NJ. c. A. what is the meaning of Liberty bonds, and he makes them understand that as he teaches them to understand the English language.
 Following is an additional list of bond purchasers through the Bank of Bisbee; those whose names have been mentioned before this list, have pur- chased a second lot; others in the list were not published in the former lists in the Review:

RABIES SITUATION
NEEDS ATTENTION
Coyotes Unusually Numerous
and Livestock Losses In
CreaSing

Il. Barry, state sheep inspector, Is
in town today from Golconda, says the
Winnemucca Star. He reports that
complaints are being made all over
the county OF the seriousness of the
rabies situation.
Coyotes" said Mr.. Barry, ARE un.
usually numerous this winter and If
drastic action is not taken soon to rid
the country of them or reduce their
number the loss of livestock from
rabies will be very great. As the
situation is at the present time, many
complaints are being made of stock
losses from this source and shccpmcn
are having trouble keeping dogs with
the herds. Dogs are very essential in
the sheep business, but so many are
being bitten by tackling rabid coyotes
that it has become dangerous to have
them around camp for fear they will
go mad at any time"
II is not only coyotes and dogs that
become infected with rabies, but il
has been proven that all animals are
susceptible to the disease. 1t is only
short time ago that wild cat al the
Dangclmaicr place in Quinn River val
ley badly scratched a horse about tho
head and neck and in a short time tn,
animal died from rabies. Cattle, sheer
and hogs are known to have died from
the disease and few weeks ago q
child in the Austin section died il
great agony from the disease. CauseC

port nearly as many more stock.
] Furthermore there is a goodly amount
of privately owned range land in the
county.
Agricultural development is incrcas
