THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
 CAMPAIGN OPENS

With more than 100000 American
 fighting men going into action this
 week in the greatest battle in history
 to halt the Hun and crush the menace
 to civilization, Uncle Sam is calling for subscriptions on the part of those
 at home to the Third Liberty Loan, the campaign for which opens Satur-
 day. That Arizona will go over the
 top in record time is confidently ex- pected, and that the quota of S3,270,- 900, which has been assigned to this state by the twelfth federal reserve district will be greatly exceeded, is the hope of every 100 per cent American in the state. Mir. J. H. Rosenberg has been named as chairman of the cam paign committee in this county, and he expects the cooperation of every man, woman and child in this community.
 Fight or Buy Bonds" is to be the slogan in the Third Liberty Loan cam paign, which has as it's object the rais- ing of money to make the world a de- cent place to live in. Bonds of the Third Liberty Loan will bear higher rate of interest than any bonds yet issued by the government, four and a quarter per cent; but even if there was not this selfish reason for buy ing them, they would still be the best investment in the world. Like the bonds of the first and second issues, they are backed by the entire re- sources of the richest nation on the globe, and are the safest securities money can buy.
 Every man, woman and child is ready to buy bonds and to loan his or her money to Uncle Sam at a good rate of interest. For every S1OO bond bought, the government pays $425 each year. Contrast this with money paid as taxes, for which only receipt Is given. Receipts bear no interest and they have nc maturity date Un- cle Sam must have money, and if he can't get it by borrowing, it will be taken in taxes. The more bonds bought the less likely it is that all methods of war taxation will be greatly in- creased.

NEW TRACTOR FOR ROAD WORK

The new tractor for Mohave county arrived early last week and has been put to work strengthening out the road between Yucca and the forks of the road. This piece of road was one of the roughtest in that part of the county and should have been built up long ago.
 It is said that the tractor is doing splendid work and will be found to be just the thing for building and repair ing the roads of the county. Machin- cry is necessary in the economic oper- ation of the roads and the board of in purchasing a roller tractor has done a laudable work.

BIG OUTPUT OF COPPER CHIEF

Sixty tons of gold ore are being milled daily at the Copper Chief, ac- cording to Superintendent J. T. Mat son. Though the capacity of the mill is 100 tons a day, no attempt will be made for the present to increase the present output. For a time the Hay den Development company, which op- crates the Copper Chief, expected to run thS mill to full capacity, but for various reasons this plan was dropped. Gold recoveries run about SIS and S15 a ton. Only rarely does the ore run any higher than that.

REPORTED GOLD STRIKE

A report is current in Kingman that prospectors have made a discovery of a vein of gold bearing rock in the Wallapais that gave results of 29 ounces to the ton ($58O). If this is true it ought to revive interest in that part of the mountains. Many years ago gold float was found on the old Overland ground that gave results in the thousands of dollars to the ton, but the owners of the ground were un- able to find whence it came.

FROM SHIP YARD
TO HARVEST FIELD

e. E. (Shorty) Harter's six feet
and seven inches of Drawn and muscle
stepped off the train on Tuesday of
last week and in a few minutes he
had been gobbled up by Attic Turner,
who employed him to bank wheat out
on the big Turner ranch. Shorty
has not seen football for some time
but his presence reminds us that not
long since he was deep in the game
and his name was in all the papers.
AS center on the State College foot
ball team he held a place on the all
Northwest team for four consecutive
seasons We know of no man who
has that record.
For the past IA months he has
been working in one of the Seattle
shipyards, but one night he stepped
off of a staging backwards and fell
40 feet, lighting on the back of his
neck and spraining his ankle. While
waiting for that ankle to heal he Is
taking it easy. tossing wheat sacks
around just for little exercise. He
has some interesting tales TO tell OF
the shipbuilding work.-Harringt

ENTER SHERIFF-EXTT YOUTH

Deputy Sheriff Baker went in at
one door and Harry Hawcroft went
out the other. Thus ended another
chapter of the interesting, if some
what unlawful career of Harry Haw-
croft, the Pullman youth who for sew
eral weeks past has been in the lime
light on account of his proclivities at
law violating. He was one of the
trio of boys who appropriated the U.
G. Lawler Ford automobile for a
joy ride to Lewiston, and was re-
leased from custody several days
later upon the showing that the old
er of the three boys was the prime
mover in the escapade. The youth
came back to Pullman but the story
of the case had come to the atten-
ton OF officials of the state training
school, who at once identified Haw-
croft as former inmate of the train
ing school who had broken his parole.
The deputy sheriff came to Pull
man Monday to get the culprit, With
the result above noted, and at last re-
ports the youth was still his own
boss.

A small box is fixed to the window in

One night recently a whole fish was
out in the refrigerator to form Shy

was hungry and when the court house
building was silent she managed to get
her claws under the fastening and pry
it open. Shyness looked Overfed ON
Saturday and fish bones were plentiful
