Don't let peace talk keep you from buying bonds. Don't hold back because somebody has sug- gested that the war is over.
 Don't kid yourself-the war isn't over yet! ..
 Suppose it Was-suppose the war were to end tomorrow. The bond campaign would still go on.
 The money you are being asked to LEND now, has already been spent. If the government had to wait until everybody in this coun- try went to the bank and paid for their bonds on easy terms, we wouldn't have half million men STARTED to France. The eov- ernment goes to the banks months before each Liberty loan with treasury certificates amounting to billions of dollars.
 The banks buy these treasury certificates, which are payable in few months, when the loan sub scriptions come in, and the gov- ernment gets CASH in return.
 The money we are being asked to LEND now has already been spent-and war or no war, it would have to be raised just the same.
 You are being asked to LEND now. This is your opportunity, and your privilege. If you fail-the money will be raised anyway-in TAXES.
 Which would you rather have LIBERTY BONDS or TAX RE- CEIPTS?

McAdoo Sends AppeaI

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-William G. Mo- Adoo, secretary of the treasury, who arrived in Chicago late this afternoon to deliver Liberty loan speech, tele- graphed the following appeal to the governor of every state in the union to- night:
 "One week of the fourth Liberty loan campaign remains and three and a half billion dollars have yet to be raised. The American peo- pie can provide this money if they are fully aroused to the imperative necessity of doing so. Without the six billion dollars required for the fourth Liberty loan, the great vie. tories of our soldiers in France will be negatived. The home army must not render valueless the bloody sacrifices of our heroes. The home army must on the other hand transform the victories of the field army in the final and mighty blow which will forever destroy military despotism and its menace to the liberties of the world.
 Asks for ProcIsmations
 Twill you not issue proclsma- ton to the people of your state ap- pesling to them to subscribe in1me- diately to the limit of their ability to the fourth Liberty loan? Ask the rich and/poor alike to buy Lib erty bonds on the instaIment plan where they can not pay cash for them and urge the banks and bank CTS of your state to carry purchas- CTS of bonds on the instaIlment plan at the same rate of interest that the bonds bear, namely four and one quarter per cent.
 "The banks must heI Ip the peo- pie by lending them money to buy Liberty bonds and the people must help the banks by subscribing for them and paying for them as promptly as possible. We must all help each other if our army is to make certain that the great vic- tory now in sight is clinched."
 Lash Them Until Victory
 William G. McAdoo, secretary of tn treasury, addressed his appeal to tn rich and poor of the nation alike t make supreme effort to bring Libert. loan subscriptions to the required s6.

ED WARREN NAMED
 MARSHAL IF MESA

MESA, Oct. 1S.-At a meeting of the Mesa city council held on Friday night, the matter of the continuation of the paving on South Mcdonald street to the depot was discussed. A former petition had been presented by the property owners along the street, ask ing for the paving, but owing to some irregularity, it was returned. The sec ond application also presents some diff ficulties which it appears, must be strengthened out, and the council in structed City Engineer Hancock to see the petitioners at the earliest possible date so that there may be no further hindrance to the completion of the project.
 Ed Warren of Phoenix, deputy sher- if from the office of Sheriff w. H. Wilky, was appointed as city marshal following the resignation of J. w. Faulkner. Ed Walch, a former Los Angeles man received the appointment as temporary night officer, taking the place of A. Nichols, who was trans ferred to the sprinkling wagon until the arrival of the motor sprinkler Perry Judd who has been driving the water wagon wished to be relieved of his position.

Any cotton grower who may not be able to make the initial pay ment on Liberty bonds out of his present funds, can secure funds at his local bank. This announce ment was made yesterday by the Liberty loan committee, after the statements of number of growers to the effect that they had been unable to obtain funds with which to buy bonds had been investi- gated.
 The committee after checking up these reports found that in nearly every case the grower had taken some one ese's word for it and had not actually tried to ob- tain funds direct from his bank. The matter was taken up with the bankers, and in every case it was emphaticslly stated that the banks were ready to cooperate with the growers in advancing funds.
 The Liberty loan committee will be glad to corporate with any cotton grower who does not have the funds at present to make an initial payment on Liberty bonds, and will be glad to hear from any cotton producer who has been un- able to obtain funds from the banks for the handling of his crop and for the purpose of subscribing to the Liberty loan.

sAYLOR BUYS BONDS
 MESA MAN IN RIGHT

MESA, Oct. 12.-H. c. Saylor, whose refusal to buy Liberty bond the other day had brought him into such un- favorable notice, sent in his check yes terday afternoon for $500 bond. The check was brought by brother of Saylor's, who. by the way has several brothers on the south side, all of whom have been vigorous supporters of the war. A nephew, Wallace Miller, a far mer scarcely of age, has just bought his fourth $1,000 bond. It is generally rec ognized among those who have known MT. Saylor for long time tha. his was a case of unreasonable religious concep- tions far more than any sympathy fol Germany. It is matter of relief tc those who really do not wish for hin the unpleasant results sure to follow any slackerism, that the matter has been adjusted and his purchase, ever though a tardy one, will be accepted in the well-known open hearted spiri of the west.

ing one of the most unpopular sports in Arizona, and every case of this sort that is reported will be thoroughly in vestigated.
 Undaunted by the fact that they could not hold a parade to celebrate Liberty day, workers at Superior de- cided to celebrate with a Reconsider ation campaign" Fully 25 per cent of the subscribers to the fourth loan in Superior had increased their original morning, and the quota for that camp had been doubled at that hour.
 Each Wage Farmer S12o
 The campaign was continued throughout the ray with marked suc- cess. Superior now holds a record of s125 for each wage earner in that dis trict. The subscription of the Magma Copper company has not yet been in cluded in the reported subscriptions from Superior, making the record for that camp one of the most remarkable in the state.
 One of the most gratifying subscrip- tions yet received was turned in at headquarters yesterday by Hayaslin, secretary of the Japanese association who brought in subscriptions amount ing to s5,950 this amount having been | pledged by members of that organiza- tion. o. Saito, president of the Japan csc association has promised to make some substantial additions to the above amount before the close of the cam paign.
 More on Honor Roll
 The Warren Brothers company has apportioned s1,O00 of its subscription to the Fourth loan to Phoenix. An nouncement to this effect was received yesterday at headquarters from c. J McElroy of the local office of tha1 company.
 The honor roll was further length ened yesterday with the names o Phoenix firms that have gone over the top. Among those winning their 10t per cent posters yesterday were thu John F. Barker Produce company, City Hall market, F. F. Nash Produce com pany, Duncan and Jack, Walter Hil company, Phoenix Tribune and thu Arizona Photo company.
 The office of the attorney general O Arizona was also added yesterday t the list of state departments that hav' gone over the top. The subscription from this office, made by Attorne. General Jones and those in his depart ment amounted to s700.
 Compilation of the list of buyers o $50 bonds was being completed las night for publication tomorrow. Tn list of buyers of s100 honds. which vii be published Tuesday. will be made u at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon, and al subscribers who bring their subscrip tions to headquarters before that hou will be given credit Tuesday.

Total Bond Subscriptions In
 Phoenix was Not Far from
 S300,000; Committee De termined To Reach Goal

Although Phoenix fell short of the Eoal of S300,O00 in subscriptions set by workers as their Liberty day quota, 1et reports compiled last night showed l most encouraging response, and led 70 tle hope that by Monday morning, when complete returns are received, that the amount would be not far from tre mark set. All day yesterday a small army of workers strove untir- irEiy Co sell bonds, in many instances continuing their efforts until late last r cht
 Emphasis is again laid on the neces- r.fv for everyone to subscribe as soon ga possible. and in no instance to make ft necessary for the solicitor to return t0 get subscription. Judging from the way somc people act you would think 1t wasn't their war at all," said a worker last night. This war is the var of every one of us, and so is this loan. lt Is not the work of the com uitfces alone, but of everybody.
 Change of Heart
 "Yct in many cases it has been nec- e7sary for the solicitors to call again and arain-taldng up the time and en- orgy of government workers, who, though they are receiving no pay, are Net essential to the government at this time.
 X gratifying change of heart on the Tart of conscientious objectors, who for religious reasons had refused to sub scribe for bonds is being reported. H. C. S1ylor of tho Mesa district, who last week felt that his scruples would not permit him 10 buy bonds, has made a handsome subscription to the fourth Liberty loan. The effigy of Saylor which had been erected on the main business street of Mesa has been re- moved and Saylor is receiving the con- gratulntions of the local committee and friends on his chaGe in view.
 Scripture for Objectors
 Another objector who was called on The carpet last night before the special investigating committee, also expert enccd a change of heart yesterday, and Dane into headquarters with a sub. scrintion of sl5O for the fourth Lib criv loan. and at the same time do- hated S25 Co the Red Cross.
 For the benefit of any others who may feel that their religious scruples win not permit them to invest in Lib rrtv bonds. the committee suggests that they turn to Matthew 10: 34 anc also read Matthew 24:6.

DANGERS SUDDENLY
 DECIDE T0 BEAT II

platform dance seven miles north Of Glendale came to a sudden end at about 10 o'clock last night when the floor manager announced the "sheriffs are coming and to beat it"
 Dancing is prohibited under an or der issued by the county board of health against public gatherings until the Spanish influenza epidemic dies out.
 Elaborate preparations had been made for the dance north of Glendale. But somebody reported it to the sher- ifs office. Deputy Ed Warren and three other officers responded to the call. As they were nearing the place where the dance was held they counted fl automobiles filled with dancers re- turning toward Glendale. When they reached the platform not a soul was to be found and everything was dark.

Uncounted Millions Received

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Liberty day celebrations today brought un- counted millions to the credit of the nations six billion dollar war loan, all though meagre official reports avail able tonight added only $77,000,000, making the known total to date S2,346,- 000,000
 Two-thirds of the campaign is gone and less than half the task is perform ed. In the remaining week, the seven days ending next Saturday night, S3,- 700,000.000 must be pledged by persons who have not yet bought or who can buy more. More than a half billion dollars day is the rate that must be maintained.
 Official figures came tonight only from the New Work and Chicago fed eral reserve districts, showing about $50, ,000,0 900 and 1000 900, respectively additional subscriptions, not including todays business. These brought the New York districts total to s562:275, 15C and the Chicago total to $404, 454.00
 Reports from all districts told of in- tense interest in the Liberty loan day celebration. Exercises were held by virtually every school and patriotic or ganiZation in the country. In addition to the parades and other displays, un- usually active sales campaigning was done.
 Almost every bank in the country remained open until late tonight to take subscriptions.

000.O00,0 GOO level in speech at a mass meeting tonight
 If our home army fails to put the fourth Liberty loan over" he declared it will contradict everything our sol diers are doing. It will be a new in centive to Germany to keep on fighting and 1t will be a confession in America of humiliating and disastrous failure. Our soldiers are winning victories with their blood and heroism. Shall we at home turn their victories into defeats? NO. Pershing has the Germans on the run and we are going to lash the backs of the fleeing enemy until the victory is complete.
 "Pershing needs locomotives and. rails to follow up our victories, and a part of the money of the fourth Liberty loan will be used to send them to him. It takes American locomotives now to keep up with the fleeing Germans. Let us see to it at home that the neces- sary locomotives are provided for the chase. We may as well send our American soldiers in first class trains to Berlin instead of leaving them march that long distance on foot.
 Women Must Buy Too
 "The fact that only one week re- | mains to subscribe the fourth Liberty loan and that we are still short $3,500,- = 900 makes it necessary for us to con- sider some of the specific things that must be done to win success. Many families for instance, think they have done their full duty when the head of the family subscribes for bonds, but the head of the family has not done his full | duty unless he has brought all of the | h Co.,, a@11y "a in the near future. If the wife is able to buy bonds and has not done so, she should buy them immediately; if the children are able to buy bonds and have not done so, they should buw immedi- ately. Wives and children have as much interest in liberty and in security of life and property as the husbands In every family, the question should De immediately reviewed and a6ditiofa | subscriptions made to Liberty bonds as far as it is possible to do so.
 Banks Should Encourage Loans
 "A word particularly to the farmers They did splencid work in the thirC Liberty loan, but they must do more for the fourth Liberty loan. Farmer: have not yet sold their crops and ma. not have the ready money to pay fo bonds immediately. But they are sell . ing their crops right along and vii soon have the money to invest in Liber ty bonds now and, pay for them whel he has sold his crop. He can bu. bonds on the installment plan and tn banks ought to carry the farmers ant every other class of our people on thei subscriptions, until they can pay them The banks owe it to the country to stil further demonstrate their patriotism by lending money to all subscribers t Liberty bonds at the same rate of in terest the bonds bear, namely four am one quarter per cent. The banks cal afford to do this and it is their duty t do this. We must not penalize tn patriotism of subscribers to Libert bonds by charging them higher rate of interest than the government pay them"
