PLANS ARE TO FLOAT
STATE PART OF LOAN
Minnes0ta's Portion of 1t Is Put
At About Forty Million
Dollars

W. D. Willard, cashier of the frs.
National bank, returned last night
from st. Paul, where he has been at
tending a meeting of bankers of the
state, called by the Minnesota Bank
ers'G association and the federal re-
serve bank. A representative from each
county was called. Practically every
county in the state was represented.
Mr.. Willard says it was really very
inspiring thing to see the response
that was made. Men came all the way
from the extreme northern section of
the state.
The purpose of the meeting was to
plan for the floating of Minnesota s
share of the liberty loan The plan is
that the banks of each county shall
associate themselves and opesate the
work together. The attempt will be
made to reach everyone by letter and
by personal solicitation, SO all may
have an opportunity to share in the
loan and thus make it popular one.
The bigger the response, the great
er the moral effect will be upon both
the allies and the enemies of this
country. So it is exceedingly import
ant that everyone shall respond.
Mnnesota's Share in Loan.
Minnesota's share is about $4,000
900, or $40 per capita. The associa-
ton plans to get out a button to give
to every subscriber as he subscribes.
On the button will be the words: 81
own a liberty bound. Do your
The banks have pledged themselves
to help their customers to get these
bonds ON the installment plan or by
any reasonable method of paying for
them. All the work of the banks and
all the expenses will be taken care of
by the banks as patriotic move
ment The government will be put to
no expense whatever in the matter.
The newspapers of the state have
already pledged the equivalent of over
$4,000 worth of advertising space.
A meeting will shortly be called of
the bankers of Blue Earth county to
get down to business on the matter
In the mean time any of the bankers
in Mankato will be glad to talk with
anyone who is interested.
The bonds run thirty years and bear
three and one half per cent interest.
They will be sold in denominations of
SEQ to 100000 -

.SEEDACH IN MANKATO
!. LOOKING At SITUATION
Home Guard Unit Will Soon
Be Organized In City
PLAN AS IT'sLAlD DOWN
Company to Be Made Up From
Men On Both Lists; Fair
Deal Is the Aim

Major Oscar Seebach of Redwing
was in the city today interviewing
those who have taken a prominent
part in gathering together the two
lists of candidates for membership
in the Mankato unit of the Minnesota
home guard. Major Seebach is getting
together the names of three or four
Mankato men, who are without fac
tional feeling, and who are qualified
in every way to act as captain of the
Mankato unit or company. From these
names, Governor Burnquist and the
public safety commission will select
man to command the unit. This
captain will then select members of
the Mankato home guard company.
Fair and Impartial Captain.
''We wish to have an absolutely fair
and impartial captain" said the
with reference to the fitness OF the
applicants to become members, and
will pay no attention to factional
feelings.
1.-The state only wants seventy
three men. One of these will be the
captain, and two will be lieutenants.
The other seventy will be enlisted
men. The state can spare Mankato
only seventy rifles for the home guar
company. For that reason many of
the applicants will have to be dis
appointed
"'The captain will select men be-
nf tvr0 nv CT
Iorty-five years, who are physically
fit, and yet who are not likely to be
called to the army service. 1t may be
that a selection here and there will
be made below tWenty-six. if the man
is not liable to be drafted.
May Not Be Called.
at is not likely that the company
will be called for duty away from
home, although the governor has the
power of calling it to any part of the
state. The companies will be dis
triOuted over the state. There will be
seven in the iron range country and
four, of these viii 81 IN Duluth. ST.
Paul and Minneapolis will each have
four. An effort will be made to have
a home guard company wherever
there is an armory.
Il have heard much about the fac
tional feeling in Mankato, and yet,
as, I talk with men here who have
worked for both lists, l don't think
that feeling will amount to much in
a practical way if it amounts tos any
thing at all. We don't want such feel
ings, and | am glad to see that there
is no such actual bitterness, as / had
been led to suppose. The captain will
have both lists in making his selec-

.ers in the Morehart building, 12S

ports that a most generous response

Lambert Lumber company, and the
Botsford Lumber company All neces-
sary carpenter work was donated by

pany. Tables and chairs were do
mated by the Y. NJ. c.. A., and Dick
Hammett
The headquarters are still in need
of chairs, and a couple of desks and
desk chairs. Bolts of material for
the making of supplies are already
on hand. and the place will be open
every afternoon hereafter Members
of the committee this morning ex-
pressed sincere appreciation of the
courtesies shown the chapter by cit
liens, merchants and the newspapers

NEW SCHOOL ELECTION LAW
Candidates For Positions On Board
Must File With Clerk.

Under a new law, passed at the
last session of the state legislature,
the school election in most districts
in Minnesota will be conducted, in a
different manner than in the past
that is, the ballots will be of uniform
style similar to the regular general
election ballot except that they do
not have to be marked or signed as
official ballots.
The new law also requires candi-
dates for election to the board of
education to file for such office with
the clerk of the district, not more
than thirty nor less than twelve days
prior to the day of election. The law
-~ovides that any five voters of a
district can file an application for
and on behalf of any qualified voter
whom they desire to be candidate.
