THE ECONOMY OF VICTORY

No matter what this war costs
the government and the people
Of the United States in the way
of money, it is going to be much
cheaper to win this war than to
lose It.
The commercial and financial
losses that would follow a Ger.
man victory are not to be calcu.
lated. All that we spent would
be lost, indemnities beyond cal.
culation would have to be paid,
and along with these losses would
come a continuing loss in foreign
commerce that would spell dis
aster.
With these material losses we
would lose our national liberty
and independence, our power t.
secure our international rights,
our right to live in a world ruled
by the dictates of humanity and
civilization.

RE.INvEsT THE INTEREST

The State Council of Defense
has requested each County Coun
Gil, through the Liberty Loan anc
War Savings Committee, to dc
everything possible to assist ir
the sale of War Savings Certi
ficates. Special instructions out
lining a plan for this campaign
will be provided by H. R. Tritle,
State Director of the Arizona
War Savings Committee.
There is a suggestion from the
War Savings Committee that
bankers do all they can to have
the owners of Liberty Bonds,
when they collect their interest.
re-invest the money received in
Thrift Stamps and Baby Bonds.
1t would be a great stroke OF
financing if the government
could pay the interest on Liberty
Bonds In this manner and would
have a tendency to reduce the
total amount of the fourth Lib.
.erty Loan, for which arrange.
ments are now being made.

tribution of the loan among the

the world.
The sale of the Liberty Loan
Bonds is only one-half of the
transaction. The government in
selling the bonds is collecting
money from the people. From
now on until the bonds are final
ly called in and paid for the gov
ernment will be disbursing money
to the people. It is going to be
of incalculable benefit not only to
| the individual bondholders, but
| to the country at large. that
these annual interest payments
and the final payment OF the
bonds are going to be widely dis
tributed among the body of the
people, not paid only to large
financial institutions, nor paid in
large amounts to the dwellers in
cities, nor paid to banks or other
corporations, but paid to individ.

The Liberty Loan is going to
prove a great national blessing to
the nation and to the people of

YOUNG SOLDIERS OF THE FIELDS

Eighty boys start work May
10th in the fields Of Maricopa
county, under Lin B. Orme, State
Chairman Of the Boys Working
Reserve. These lads will start
in two camps to thin cotton west
of Phoenix. Many Of the towns
Of Arizona have reported to Mr.,
Orme that they have ready boys
on call, while Ell Paso, Texas, is
prepared to send 100 boys for
vacation service. The lads made
good last season and are wanted
back again in the fields in which
they have worked. -..
This year there will be a varia-
ton in the service Of the Girls
Working Reserve, for which ar
rangements are being made by
Mrs. Ernest w. Lewis, under ap-
pointment of the State Council
of Defense. A number of girls
already are in the apricot or
chards north Of Phoenix, carried
to and from their work daily by
automobiles from that city. They
are being credited for the work
lost in the last days of their high
school term. A considerable
number will be added as soon as
the schools close.
