Imperial German government" Gov.
Bickett told eighty-nine Of the one hun
bred sheriffs of the state meeting at
bis call in the senate chamber at the
state Capitol. Accepting the challenge

Nv modifying the sheriffs OF the
State for Liberty Loan Bonds, Gov
ernor Beckett believes that the State

telefrarhic request of Governor B1ck-
EFT, who simply notified them that mat

and nation called for their presence IN
