The DOughbOy's AversiOns

l. Cowardice.
2. Sefshness.
s. Braggadccio.
These, n the estimation of the
American dcugh5oy, are the three
cardinal sins of the soldier And
equally they must be stunned by
every American citizen, especially on
tic eve Of the Victory Loan.
Coward'ce: This weakness rarely
crops out among American fighters
and it is despicable quite as much in
civil life as on the fcld of battle, The
coward in the Victory oan campaign
is the contemp' 10 individual who lis.
tens to the pro-German 1ropagandists
and fails 10 do his or her duty toward
making the Victory Loan the great
success it must lie if we are to fulfill
all our pledges to our fighters, our
allies and the great human family.
Selfshness: On the firing line this
mean trait occasionally manifests IT,
self in the man who thinks more Of
his own skin than he does of his COM
rade's life. In ordinary associations
we see more of it. Fortunately, ,elf-
ishness can do little harm in the Vic
tory Loan campaign. Self-interest will
prompt even those whose guide ard
rule of conduct it is in almost every
thing to realize th~t their own future
prosperity depends upon the success
of the Victory Loan-the safest and
best investment they can make The
more Government not they buy for
cash or on time payments, the better
off they will be in this worlds goods
no matter if they ignore other and
higher considerations.
Braggadocio: The typical Hun is a
combination Of brag and buster and
sniveling and cringing. The American
fighter has taken the "B' out of "brag'
so far as the Hun is concerned, and he
will not tolerate Dragging even among
his own kind The civilian should fol-
low the fighters example Don't brag.
Don't attempt to glorify yourself by
telling what you have done for the gov
eminent, no matter how many bonds
of previous issues you have bought, or
helped to sell to others; it is no time
for Dragging. Get busy and make &
success of the Victory Liberty Loan
In his description of the doughboy
Chaplain EWert declared he got his
name for two reasons. First. because
his secretary is baker, and secondly |
because he is the flower of the Ameri !
can Army, and like all good dough. he
is always on hand when needed In
his appeal to support the Victory
Loan the Chaplain said:
"The man whose heart does not re-
spond in gratitude for what the boys
did in France, end who forgets or
quits in this hour for gratitude, or
fails to do what he can, is an migrate
and gutter. We must match in
service the sacrifice of the men who
now lie in their graves in France. We
have reason to believe that all the
states in the Eighth Federal Reserve
District will measure up to their stand !
ard when the Victory Loan is inaugu-
rated The Victory Loan must meas
ure up to the devotion of the boys
overseas and there should be no let. |

ness has been paid and the last boy

APPEALS TO TIE GRANGE
Victory Liberty" Is slogan Given by
Thomas C. Atkcson to the
American Farmers.

SNAKE SAYS OUGHT
 BUT NUT ' SCOUTS

Whir-r-r! Strike! "Ouch!" It is the snake saying "Ouch," not the scout. Last summer some of the scouts of "" troop one. together with the scout master, climbed Squaw Peak about sundown to see if it were feasible to attempt to signal to a second party of scouts on top of the Y. M. c. A. building. This little rattler, six or eight inches long, didn't approve of the stunt, and beside thought it would be a good idea to give the scouts a chance to show their knowledge of first aid, so he "signalled." The scout caught the meaning at once and let go of the rock which he had just taken hold of to pull himself up, and dropped several feet. The snake bit chunk out of the rock" But, shucks! suppose he had bit the scout? It wouldn't have been serious. Every scout in the bunch knew exactly what to do, for they have been trained to meet all kinds of emergencies. They would have-but just ask any scout what he would do.
 It is matter of great regret that the boys department hasn't room enough 10 give every boy in Phoenix a chance to receive such training so he can "be prepared for any emergency.

TRIP FROM PRESCOTT
 MAS PER|LOUS ONE
 BECAUSE OF STORM

Captain Lyle Abbott of the Journal Miner, Prescott, came to town yester- day morning to join his wife and daughter who have been visiting the parents of MT. Abbott for the last month. He expected to return to Prescott this morning, but the chances last night were that he would not.
 The voyage down was sufficiently perilous, and the indications were that travel would be more precarious this morning. The whole country in the vicinity of the Hassayampa, the Auga F'ria and New River is under water. It was a good deal like being at sea. The waters poured down bearing trunks of trees, turning them over and over and creating rollers twenty feet in height.
 The roadbed had been greatly soft ened and in deep cuts large boulders had rolled down upon the tracks and had to be removed before the train could proceed. In one case there was a boulder too large to be removed by any of the appliances at hand. It was not quite on the track, but so near it that it was thought at first it might as well be on the rails. But, fortu- nateIy, the cars of the train lacked one coat of varnish so that the boulder missed being an obstruction.

FEDERAL AID WILL
 MEAN LOSS, MESA
 OPINION ON ROADS

MESA, Nov. 2S.-The Mesa com mercial club, ever hard and energetic worker for good roads in the Salt River valley, has directed the follow ing statement for publication in hopes that it will clear up any misapprehen- sion gained from a recent publication regarding the recent bond issue voted for paved roads in the valley.
 Tt is the opinion of the committee of the Mesa commercial club which was present at the good roads confer ence at the Phoenix Chamber of Com merce building Thursday, November 20, that the Glendale district com mercial club in letter to the Gazette has misquoted bond issue figures and clouded the issue to such an extent that the highway commission is not certain that the business organizations of the county are behind them.
 It apparently is not understood by some delegates to that conference that the highway commission cannot spend money on other than county roads and that they cannot utilize federal aid promised them by the state engineer as stated in their report to the super visors without being liable to misap- propriation Of funds beside duping the farmer on what he originally voted for and still expects.
 Probably by error the Glendale dis trict commercial club has stated that it was $4,000,000 which the people of the county voted for but they do not mention that it was with the under standing that the county get $500, 900 federal aid for project roads and pro- ject roads only. We believe the com mission is justified in it's present stand not to recommend roads outside the project which would receive fed eral aid originally meant for the roads which were conscientiously and hope fully voted for by the citizens of the county.
 Tt is the belief of the committed from the Mesa commercial club that it is to the best interests of Maricopa ! county that the s3S0000 % of federal aid reported available by the state en- gineer should be applied to the build ing of the roads designated by the | highway commission as that money was included in the building program and was so stated in their report tC | the supervisors as required by law and we believe was thoroughly under stood by the voters of Maricopa coun- ! dale Phoenix highway should be taker ] ty. We further believe that the Glen care of from the same fund that the

 mated by the highway commission tC

A few weeks ago at luncheon at the one of the high school faculty said. Last spring I was very uneasy about John. He seemed to be losing his grip and was afraid for him, but this fall he is all right; I guess he will come out"
 This is what happened: "In spite of our knowledge of all this boys short comings, we called him into the office and gave him a job of great responsi- bility. He was given to understand that if he fell down it would cause embarrassment to the boys work secre- tary and probably censure. Well, he measured up-and more.

ACRES AT ORACLE
 NOTED FUR BEAUTY
 WILL BE AUCT|ONED

Pronounced by the state land board to be one of the prettiest and most de- sirable places in the state as retreat from Tucson summers, particularly, and as wonderful place for anybody's home, tract of 320 acres at Oracle will be sold at public auction sale from the Florence court house steps in the near future, the board yesterday in structing Land Commissioner W. A. Moeur to proceed with the sale.
 Engineer Alfred c. Seiboth of the commission, says the site is the only one of its kind in the whole state that is close to any city afflicted with sum- mer heat. The weather is always cool there, he says, and the winters are not rigorous. The site adjoins the town of Oracle on one side and the Mt. Lem mon highway on the other, that high way being a federal aid project now under construction at a cost of ap- proximately s250, 900 and designed to connect Tucson with the Mt. Lennon district
 Every lot in the tract comprises two or three acres of land, full title will be given, prices probably will range from about $50 to s60 a lot, every lot fronts on an established road connect ing with the highway. oaks and grante dells abound, water is reached easily only one lot will be sold to a person in order to prevent speculation, and the place can be reached by auto from Tucson in about 90 minutes. The town of Oracle, Engineer Seiboth says, is 8 pretty little place of itself.
 The tract is located on state schoo land at attitudes varying between 455t and 4700 feet and the map of it is con- toured in order that intending pur- chasers may make selections without going over the ground. The list ot lots comprises 172 locations. No build. ing restrictions are imposed.

A Wet Thanksgiving

Picnic parties and other outings planned by Mesa folks for Thanks giving day gave way yesterday to an all day rain and a quiet time at home keeping dry and warm around the stove. Replacing the heavy and un- usual wind that kept up most of the night and forenoon a steady shower set in at noon that lasted well into the night. The Thanksgiving services planned by the Mesa churches were for the most part carried out but the indictment weather was responsible for many remaining at home who would otherwise observed the day with an hours worship at the church in the morning.
