cal patriotism Of the people Of the
Ninth District and is an outgrowth OF
the individual allotment plan gen.r.
ally practiced in this district in The
third Liberty Loan campaign.
When the individual allotment plan
first was taken under consideration
there were suggestions and insinua-
lions that 1t savored Of coercion but
1t was put into effect with such car
and diplomacy that these insinuations
were speedily dissipated as 1t was
seen that the individual allotment
plan had had its ambition only that
every individual should do his Just
share, no more, no less. In each
community local committees met
weeks prior to the actual opening Of
the third campaign and checked over
the residents of their respective com
munities, seeking to gain an intel
ligent idea Of what each Individual in
the community should take in bonds
as his or her just share. a.
In some sixteen of the two hundred
and Lightweight counties the local
! committees went even farther with
this plan and instead of merely arm.
ing their salesmen with an intelligent
idea of the individuals buying power,
the committee sent notices to each
prospective bond purchaser asking
them to call at certain centrally To-
Gated places at specified times and
purchase the amount of bonds allotted
to then. This was the first expert
ment with "over the counter" buying
and it was so successful that the ex-
ecutive committee has recommended
it generally for the Fourth Campaign.
In Steele county, Minnesota, three
thousand, nine hundred and eighty
four out of four thousand persons no
titled to come in and sign up for their
allotments stepped right up to the
mark and signed up for their bonds.
OF the sixteen who failed to appear
some were sick and some were away
from home.

The quality of patriotism is so firm

pie Of the Ninth Federal Reserve Dis
trict that in nearly ninety per cent
Of the two hundred and eighty-eight
counties constituting this district the
people will have the opportunity to
step up to the counter and do their
bond buying without personal solicit

In non Of the other Federal Re.
serve Districts is such a plan being
attempted, but the executive commit
tee Of the Ninth District feels conf
dent that it Is justified in the conf
dence It is reposing in the people Of
this district when it invites them to
do their own bond buying over the
counter, and dispensing thereby al
most entirely with personal solicita-
ton and salesmanship.
"Good morning, neighbor. How
much money does our Government
need from me In this Fourth Liberty
Loan?"
That is the question fully a million

And the man behind the counter
will say after consulting his card in

"Well, MI. Jones, our Government

of about $1,000"
And the good American purchaser
is relied upon to reply:
"All right neighbor, that sounds
like a fair allotment to me. Just
hand over the necessary papers and
I will sign up"
This method Of bond selling is not
made compulsory throughout the dis
trict, but the district committee, hav.

after much consideration decided to

1t is not sare to plan very Iar aneau.
After "stand down" the men sit on
the fire step or repair to their respec
tive dugouts and wait for the "rum is
sue" to materialize. Immediately fol
lowing the rum comes breakfast
brought up from the rear. Sleeping is
then in order unless some special work
turns up.
Around 1890 dinner shows up
When this is eaten the men try tc
amuse themselves until "tea" appears
at about four o'clock, then "stand to-
and they carry on as before.
While in rest billets Tommy gets UP
about six in the morning, washes up
answers roll call, is inspected by his
platoon officer, and has breakfast. Al
S:45 he parades (drills) with his com.
pany or goes on fatigue according to
the orders which have been read out
by the orderly sergeant the night pre-
vious.
Between II 80 and noon he is dis.
missed, has his dinner and is ION his
own" for the remainder of the day
unless he has clicked for digging OF
working party, and so it goes on from
day to day, always looping the loop
and looking forward to peace and
Blighty.
Sometimes, while engaged in a
"cootie" hunt, you think. Strange to
say, but it is fact, while Tommy is
searching his shirt serious thoughts
come to him. Many time, when per,
forming this operation, I have tried
to figure out the outcome of the war
and what will happen to me.
My thoughts generally ran in this
channel:
Will l emerge safely from the next
attack? If do will I skin through the
following one, and so on? While your
Mid is wandering into the future il
is likely to be rudeiy brought to earth
by Tommy interrupting with, whats
good for rheumatism?''
Then you have something else to
think of. Will you come out of this
war crippled and tied into knots with
rheumatism, caused by the wet and
mud of trenches and dugouts? You
give it up as bad job and generally
saunter over to the nearest estaminet
to drown your moody forebodings in q
glass of sickening French beer or to
try your luck at the always present
game of "house." You can hear the
sing-song voice of Tommy droning
out the numbers as he extracts the
little squares of cardboard from the
bag between his feet

l could not bear to see the dirt thrown
on the blanket-covered face of my COM
rade. On the western front there are
no coffins, and you are lucky to get a
blanket to protect you from the wet

The machine gunners in the dugout
were laughing and joking. To them
Pete was unknown. Pretty soon, in the
warmth of their merriment, my blues
disappeared. One soon forgets on the

TIN LIZZIE HEAD
MAY TRY MINING

An outfit coming into town from
Mammouth district brings the yarn
that Henry Ford of Detroit, the now
famous manufacturer of Ford auto
mobiles, has become interested in
mining in that district. An engineer
who it is suspected is in the pay of
Ford, is in the district making a num-
ber of examinations. 1t is said Ford
has made millions out of his business.
Here's hoping he will enter Arizona,
and if he does he will sooner or later
get into Ray, than which there is no
better district in the entire state.

Suicide Annex.

was in my first dugout and looked
around curiously. Over the door Of
same was a littlel sign reading "Sui-
eide Annex" One of the boys told
me that this particular front trench
was called Suicide Ditch" Later on
I learned that machine gunners and
bombers are known as the Suicide
Club"
That dugout was muddy. The men
slept in mud, washed in mud, ate mud,
and dreamed mud. had never before
realized that so much discomfort and
misery could be contained in those
three little letters, M u d. The floor
Of the dugout was an inch deep in
water. Outside it was raining cats and
dogs, and thin rivulets were trickling
down the steps. From the air shaft
drip, drip. Suicide Annex was a hole
eight feet wide, ten feet long and six
feet high. 1t was about twenty feet
below the fire trench; at least there
were twenty steps leading down to it.
These steps were cut into the earth,
but at that time were muddy and slip
perry. A man had to be very careful
or else he would "shoot the. chutes."
The air was foul, and you could cut
the smoke from Tommy's fa,gs with a
knife. 1t was cold The walls and
roof were supported with heavy square
cut timbers, while the entrance was
strengthened with sandbags. ANails had
hnpn driupr1 nj fiv1ohnrc nn
each nail hung a miscellaneous assort-
ment of equipment. The lighting ar
rangements were superb-one candle
in a reflector made from an ammuni-
ton tin, My teeth were chattering
from the cold, and the drip from the
airshaft did not help matters much.
While l was sitting bemoaning my
fate and wishing for the freside at
home, the fellow next to me, who was
writing letter, looked up and inno-
Gently asked, "Say, Yank, how do you
spell 'conflagration'?
1 looked at hims in contempt and an
swered that did not know.
From the darkness in one of the cor
ners came thin, piping voice singing
one of the popular trench ditties en-
titled:
Pack up your Troubles IN your Old Kit
Bag, and Smile, Smile, Smile
Every now and then the singer
would stop to cough, cough, cough, but
it was a good Illustration of Tommy's
cheerfulness under such conditions.
A machinegun officer entered the
dugout and gave me hard look. l
sneaked past him, sliding and slipping,
and reached my section of the front
line trench, where was greeted by
the sergeant, who asked me, "Where
in - ave you been?"
l made no answer, but sat OF the
muddy fire step, shfvering with the
cold and with the rain beating in my
face. About half an hour later l
teamed up with anotser fellow and
went on guard with my head sticking
over the top. At ten O'Clock l was
relieved and resumed my sitting posi-
ton on the fire step. The rain sud-
denly stopped and we all breathed
sigh of relief. We prayed for the morn
ing and the rum issue.

urged that the road be built and made
the main highway of travel between
Miami and Phoenix. If built the road
will be 35 miles shorter than the pres
ent route by way of Roosevelt lake,
and only fourteen miles longer than
the direct air route. Grades on this

with the words: "And now, o Lord,
