ARKANSAS STATE COUNCIL FOR DEFENSE URGES PUBLIC MEET
 ING ON JUNE 5.
WOULD AID LIBERTY LOAN
Suggested That Community Meetings Be Held in Churches, SchooIhouses, and Other Convenient Places
 Ladies Can Help.
Little Rock

LlCLle ROCK
 The Arkansas State Council for De- fense issued an address at Little Rock to the people of the state urging all patriotic citizens and organizations in Arkansas to make arrangements at once to hold in all the cities, towns and voting precincts of the state on June 5 public meetings where patriot ic programmes will be given. Meet ings may be held in churches, school houses, or other convenient places. The initiative may be taken by any individual or organization. Time and place may be fixed according to local convenience.
 The programme may consist of band music, singing of national airs, flag raisings, reading of the Declaration of Independence, reading of the presi dents proclamation announcing the date of registration, and such other exercises as may suggest themselves.
 Most important of all is an address, preferably by citizen of the com munity or county, setting forth the or igfn of the war, the events that fore ed the United States enter 1t, and the objects for which we are fighting. Every such address should emphasize the necessity of subscriptions to the liberty loan. There are thousands of people in Arkansas who are we'll able to buy bond for $50 or S100 or more who do not realize the necessity of helping to float this loan. The banks of the state have risen to the occasion and will offer opportunity for buying bonds by means of small payments.
 It is suggested also that there be at each registration place a commit tee of ladies to serve luncheon to the enrolling officers and to see that each man enrolled has some evidence of the fact that will be apparent to passers-by. A small piece of red, white and blue ribbon, or the blue enrolment card. might be pinned on each man.
