State Bank Examiner j. R. Waters,
on his return to Bismarck, emphatical-
ly denied the statement published in
the state press that he had issued a
ruling that he would penaliZe any state
bank which does not subscribe to the
Liberty bond.
1.-THE story is all false" said Mr..
Waters, land without foundation, as l
never issued such q statement and i'm
fact W had any such idea, and 1
knew no more about it than anyone
else until l read the articles in several
papers. While l am strong for the
Liberty bonds and am using every eff
fort to get as large a subscription as
possible to this loan, l have not gone
to the extent of trying to penalize any
one who does not subscribe"
Mr.. Waters did send out a circular
letter to all the banks encouraging
them to support the Liberty loan to
the fullest extent.

States Quota Ready.
eve believe that every county
board now has its full quota of eligible
men for the draft" said Chairman l..
e. Birdzell. when the district board,
having completed all the work before
it. adjourned for a few days. y large
number of appeals have been taken
from the decisions OF the district
board to the president. The board
feels this is largely due to the fact
that the blank upon which registrants
are notified Of the fate of claims and
appeals contains what is in effect an
invitation to appeal to the president
for further consideration.
State Has Fewest Reflections.
North Dakota has fewer men re
jected than any other state which sent
troops to Camp Dodge said Thomas
w. Hughes, Company E, 313th engi
nears, who was in Bismarck en- route
to Glendive, Mont. Its simply great

Dodge. There's some kicking about
the food, but l can't see it. Sunday
we had a big Chicken dinner with ice
cream on the side, and all the FILINGS
The only objection the boys have CON
