Victory Loan Campaign!
 Is On In Full Blast

The campaign for the Vic tory Loan is now on in full blast and Arizona, Navajo county and Holbrook are ex- Ipected to live up to their rep utation and go over the top, as usual.
 To stimulate enthusiasm and to bring home to the people the full meaning of the Victory Loan, Charles B. Ward, state chairman, has advised L. M. Reynolds, chairman for Navajo county, that on Saturday, April 26th, there will arrive at Holbrook for exhibition purposes one of the Whippett tanks used in the war against Germany.
 Further, there will also ar rive on the morning of the same date three car loads of war returned soldiers from France, and one navy trump eter. Interesting talks will be made by these boys who saw service at the front and there will be none who will willingly miss hearing them.
 Chairman Ward is going to try and send a speaker f fro m the Victory Loan Speakers Bureau, but if he is unable to do so, arrange ments will be made for local speakers in addition to the soldier and sailor boys.
 The Whippett Tank will be tooled by Sergeant John J. Connolly and Sergeant A. N. Van Gent, and these boys are said to be among the best at their particular jobs.
 County Chairman R a y holds is endeavoring to have Holbrook included in the it. inerary of the Victory Loan Special, but he had received no definite answer at the time this was written. For that ana other reasons it will be impossible to state now when and where the speak ing will take place, but notice will be given later by means of hand bills or otherwise.
 Dot fail to help give the soldier boys a rousing recep- tion.

 Senator Mayfield told of a talk he had with a prominent oil man who told him: Tn my judgment you have the possibilities of great producing oil wells.
