The French cigars remind one of a
Manila rope burning, and their pipe
tobacco is like dynamite. When the
French and the Americans meet, the
Frenchman always wants smoke
1t is rather difficulty to talk to them,
but with the aid of our French books
and motions we get along fine.
They are indeed very interested In
us and especially our money and to-
bacco. They are very courteous people,
and want to look at every thing we
possess. They think our trench shoes,
Ian ordinary heavy hobnailed like
the mountain men wear are the great
est thing that they ever saw. A great
many Of the people wear wooden shoes
but all of the soldiers that I've seen
wear leather shoes.
All the stories of the people starv-

none Of them live very high, but from
what I've seen all have plenty to eat,

| This is certainly great country to
an American. 1t is queer and quaint !;
every thing Is built of stone, and all
the fences are hedged. The country
seems to me to be at least fifty years
behind ours. but 1t may be on account
of the war Their railroads are quite
small and remind one of a work train
a great deal.
The climate here is like ours in the
fall and is very moderate compared
to our winters. 1t is healthy eli

outside of the usual amount of cold.

A PROCLAMATION
Executive Department, State of
 Arizona
To the People of Arizona:

To the People of Arizona:
 By virtue of authority in me vested, and in harmony with the great na- tional movement to assist the federal government in financing the war by savings and investing in War Savings and Thrift Stamps, hereby set apart the month beginning May 4 and end ing May 31 as
 THRIFT PLEDGE MONTH
 Under the rules and regulations, no one person can buy more than one thousand dollars worth of War Sav- ings Stamps. These bear four per cent interest, compounded quarterly, and are always redeemable at par.
 Arizona las been asked to purchase securities to the amount of S5,274,OOO during the year ending December 31, 1918. Up to this time purchases amount to only $8O1,131 In order to meet the request of the government and complete our quota, every man, woman and child in the state must purchase at least twenty dollars worth of these stamps. This month, begin ming May and ending May 31, is set apart so that our people may complete their pledge and that the government will be assured that the money will be forthcoming. Payments can be made from time to time, as late as Decem- Der 31, 1918, but urge an immediate liberal purchase in order that Arizona may fittingly show her patriotism at this crisis in cur national life.
 These War Savings and Thrift Stamps are not designed solely for children and these of small means. They are for everyone-for you. These stamps are liquid security for the accommodation of the public.
 The money derived from the sale of War Savings and Thrift Stamps goes into the federal treasury and is used to feed, clothe and furnish guns and ammunition for the men who are fighting our battles iL the trenches and Ca the sea. If the government does not have the money at hand when +A~S~S0 anu gO4 nave llOL government up to your ability, the day of victory will be retarded and you will have to answer.
 God has prospered us in a amrvel- ous way and for purpose. This is our opportunity as individuals and as a state to serve the world by furnish ing the money which we have in abundance to keep the torch of civiIi- zati0n burning.
 l call upon all our people to assist those m authority locally to make this campaign a success. Individually, you owe 1t to our fighting forces to see to 1t that everyone in your community purchases either the limit or up to their full ability as they have been prospered.
 In witness whereof, have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the state of Arizona to be affixed.
 Done at Phoenix, the capital, this 1st day of May, A. L. 1918.

DIG UP FOR OUR
 BOYS OVER THERE
By Billy Sunday.

By Billy Sunday.
 Some old geezers are strong on prayers for "the brave boys in the trenches and on Ous battleships," but their names haven't appeared on any Liberty Bond subscription list yet.
 Prayers of that kind don't get as high as the gas jet. The country is full of rocking chair patriots who loaf around and talk loud and tell the boys they ought to go over and fight, while they sit around and argue and tell how Pershing, Haig and Petain and Foch ought to do this, that and the other, but you try and get them to dlg up some coin to help feed and care for the boys who are doing the fighting, and you'd think they were handcuffed, they can't get their hands into their pockets.
 A lot of fellows are saying these days: "WeH, I'm too old to go. 'T'm above draft age" q wish I could get into it." You can get into it.
 Every man of you can get into it.
 You can do your bit right here. You can feed and equip, and arm the boys who have gone over and are going over to fight for you. Put every dollar you can rake and scrape into Liberty Bonds to help these boys win this war. There's com Ing day when this war will be over.
 There's coming day when the Ger man nation will be crushed and whip ped out of its boots.
 There's coming a day when our brave boys who won this war will march with the victorious Britishers and French men and Italians and Bel gians down the Inter den Linden singing Yankee Doodle and Dixie and they'll stack their arms in the kaiser's front yard and turn Potsdam palace into barracks for American troops.
 There's coming a day when the American boys who won this war will come home, and if you have an imagi- nation or vision try and imagine how the United States will go wild with joy when that time comes.
 When the boys come back home, all the bells will ring, and all the flags on earth will wave, and all the bands will pay, and all the horns will toot, and all the drums will throb, and all the air will vibrate with wild deliri- ous joy.
 The greatest heroes who ever lived will be the boys in khaki and navy blue with the kaiser's scalp at their belts.
 Will you be able to say: 'I helped"
 Will you be able to fish out big bunch of Liberty Bonds and say: q helped till it hurt"
 In that day will you be able to stand on the curbing as the long lines march past and throw your hat in the air and say: q dug up the last dol lar to keep those boys in the front over there"
 Or, will you have to slink away and hide, and sneak up some alley and go off home and hide your cowardly car cass?
 The boys who are fighting this war, and the men and women who are pay ing their way while they are doing it, are together saving the world for lib- erty and justice.
 And when the war is over the | boys who fought and the men and wo- men who kept them at the front are going to run this country.
 Why, they are going to elect the next five or six presidents of this country.
 For twenty years they will elect ev- cry president and senator and con- gressman and governor and legisla- l

 And where will you be then if you are a shirker now?
