IS YOUR CONSCIENCE CLEAR ?

There are only two classes of
Americans today. One class is COM
posed of patriots The other class is
composed of traitors The sooner the
traitors are weeded out, the sooner
the war will end
II you do not buy liberty bonds un-
til it hurts, you are not a patriot
Your own conscience tells you what
you are, and the sooner your con-
science is 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 another and another,
until you feel like pauper And do
it gladly. Don't argue or complain
to the person who asks you to buy.
He or she is giving his or her time,
without remuneration, to the cause of
freedom.
And remember this: When you
buy liberty bonds you are putting
money into your own pocket You
are doing nothing more and nothing
less than lending your money to the
United States, for which it will pay
you interest. By buying liberty
bonds you are not paving a way to
heaven for yourself-~don't think that
but you are doing your part to sus-
tain the government that makes your
dollar worth 100 cents. If your gov
ernment does not win, with it's allies,
your dollar will look like an ex-
ploded balloon
It's up to you

HAVE YOU GOT
AL|bERTY BOND

Word comes from San Francisco
that the quotas for the several coun-
ties in Arizona for the Third Liberty
Loan have been decided upon. The
officials of the Bay City advise all To-
cal committees against undue conf
dence in securing the amounts asked.
1t is anticipated that some communi-
ties will be inclined to relax their ef
forts, as to the quotas asked for this
time are less than for the second loan.
1t is pointed out that there is need of
making this third loan one of all the
people.
1t is suggested that the number of
subscribers be doubled as compared
with the figures for the Second Lib
erty Loan drive; also that the amount
be oversubscribed by large sum.
The value of freely subscribing to
liberty loans as against paying the
cost of the war in taxes is apparent
TO all. For taxes you get nothing but
a receipt This is of no value. 1t
bears no interest. The Liberty 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. 1t would be un-
wise to raise the entire cost of the
war by bond issue, but readiness on
was by bond issue, but readiness on
the part of the people to buy bonds
will be the best for the country in
the end.
The quota for Yuma county is
$151 600, and the evidence of the will
lingness OF the people to back up the
men in the trenches by supporting
the Liberty Loan is one of the most
convincing evidences of patriotism
Be full patriot--not one that is al
ways round the corner when the
country calls. II you cannot be on
the firing line, be on the Liberty Loan
line. All citizens cannot be on the
honor roll of battle fame, but there
is fighting to be done at home, and

NEW BREAD REGULATION.

Every person in Arizona is to be
limited to one and a half pounds Of
wheat week by the food admins
traitors new conservation program.
which went into effect recently.
Through the cooperation of the
hotel and restaurant division and the
$4,000 signers of home pledge cards
in this state, the federal food admin
istration for Arizona expects to Sc
cure strict compliance to the new
food program, which has been made
necessary by the crying demands of
the allies and the fact that the pres
ent supply of wheat cannot last until
the next harvest unless every pre-
caution is adopted to conserve it.
All loyal residents Of Arizona are
asked to study the principles govern
ing the new program as sent out from
Washington, and to act accordingly.
They are as follows:
First-HOuseholds shall adopt the
maximum ration for wheat -four Cor
it's wheat equivalent contained in
such wheat products and victory
bread, macaroni, wheat breakfast
cereals, etc. of one and one-half
pounds of wheat -four per person per
week. Observances of wheatless days
and meals will aid households in
meeting this new requirement, but
are no longer obligatory.

able with the data at hand. The ap-
portionments were made on the
basis Of population, rather than on
the infant mortality rate, because
statistics for the latter are not suf-
fciently complete. Thus, states with
low death rates will have a proper

where infant deaths are more nu-
merous.
