The May 12, 1906 Benson Arizona editorials celebrate a road bond victory and discuss a federal land reclamation plan. The San Pedro project would dam near Charleston, build canals, and boost intensive farming to feed Arizona and support exports.
An exchange urges doubling dollars in wartime effort. It vows those who shirk support for the Red Cross and the Y M C A will pay for their stinginess. Citizens must back their country and flag and dig deep for the cause.
The piece discusses camouflage as deception from French military use to modern American politics. It cites German propaganda, antiwar rhetoric, and editors disguising disloyalty as patriotism, warning that camouflage obscures true loyalties during wartime.
A Bisbee Review piece extols American soldiers in France as a distinctive, inspiring force with praise for their appearance, spirit, and impact. It also notes potential agricultural value of a Chinese origin Mong bean for Arizona dry farms, citing drought resistance and plausible yields.
A stark wartime exhortation from a French soldier and local authorities urges American farmers and workers to boost production and buy Liberty Loans. Citizens are urged to sacrifice comfort, save, and support the war effort as the nation readies for another Liberty Loan drive. It contrasts German cruelty with American affluence and calls for renewed patriotism and sacrifice.
A rhythmic verse urges resilience when gloom settles in. It counsels bristling up and gritting teeth, avoiding fretting and grumbling, and to smile cheerfully as music and rhyme lift the spirit even when hope seems nearly gone. The refrain centers on keeping on through adversity.
A wartime appeal argues that Liberty Bonds with thirty year terms are as accessible as shorter ones and urge holders to keep bonds until government repayment. It emphasizes patriotism, safety, and the 4 percent interest, noting most buyers will pass bonds to others or sell later.
The piece portrays the U S government as a business run for citizens who are shareholders. It urges backing hired leaders in Washington with money and goodwill, urging readers to stop criticizing and to cooperate with officials described as "boss foremen" guiding national affairs.
The piece argues that Liberty Loan money stays in the country and often remains in the local economy. It explains how installments fund domestic purchases and how repayments recycle funds, debunking the idea of draining national wealth. The government aims to increase wealth so citizens can lend more for the war effort.
