BANKS ASKED TO COOPERATE
Secretary Authorizes Financial Insti- tutions to Receive Subscriptions
 for the Bond Offerings.

Washington.-Secretary McAdoo tele- graphed the entire list of 27,513 nation al and state banks and trust companies in the United States, authorizing them to receive subscriptions for the $2,000,- G00,000 bond offering, enlisting their cooperation, and requesting them to telegraph rough estimate of the amount of bonds each would take for itself and it's patrons.
 You can render an invaluable serv- ice to your country" Mir. McAdoo told the banks, "by receiving subscriptions and cooperating with the federal re- serve bank in your district"
 Loan Subscriptions Pour in.
 To all clearing house associations in the country Mr. McAdoo sent a tele- gram in which he said:
 "The amount of the initial loan has been determined by the needs of the government and not arbitrarily. The enthusiastic and patriotic cooperation of the banks and bankers of the coun- try will guarantee the success of the undertaking"
 The result of the first announcement of the loan has been deluge of sub scriptions, aggregating many millions. Most of these came in by wire to the treasury. Virtually every large city and every state in the Union was rep resented
 Lend $1oo,ooo,ooo to Italy.
 Negotiations continued today with representatives of the nations to which the United States is extending credit. Count ali Cellere, the Italian ambassador, received the full amount of the first $100,O00,000 loan made by this government to Italy.

 The $100,000,000 loan to France will be turned over to Ambassador Jusser- and, in whole or part, within a day Of so.

Application for writ of injunction to prevent the Farrelly Lake Levee District commissioners from awarding a contract for any work in the district and from issuing any certificates of indebtedness was filed in the chancery court at Pine Bluff by 12 residents of Arkansas County and six of Jefferson county, all property owners and tax payers in the district
 The petition alleges primarily that while the act creating the district fixes $350,O00 as the maximum cost of the proposed levee and drainage work in the district, the work proposed by the commissioners will cost s1, ,000, ,000 or more, and that while the act in one section limits the expenditures by the commissioners to $350000, an other section allows the commission, CTS to issue certificates of indebted ness in addition, and further alleges that a concrete dam authorized to be built near the mouth of Big Bayou Me to is not intended to benefit the drain age or levee system, but is proposed primarily to provide a reservoir to hold water for the irrigation of rice farms during the summer months, and especially for the benefit of one L. X. Block, who already, the petition states, has irrigation canals leading from the bayou to rice farms, and from which ha obtains large royalties or rentals.
 No action was requested on the peti- tion, and none was taken by the court. When the application was filed the commissioners for the district were in session to award bids for the con- struction work. MeWilliams Bros. of Memphis were given a contract for $50 900 cubic yards of new levee work and Edgar J. Hahn of Little Rock was awarded a contract for 206,000 cubic yards of enlargement work.

TREASON AND the LIBERTY BOND.

The support OF the government Is
the citizens supremest duty. 1t
transcends every obligation. To neg
lect II or fail in it's performance
when the nation Is at war is treason.
There is no option about it. 1t is a
duty imposed by the organic law of
the land. To disregard it is a crime
against the government, our fellows
and ourselves. And the extent of our
ability to subscribe to the "liberty"
loan is not to be measured by our ex-
cess OF income over outgo in times of
peace.
By conscript we are compelling our
young men to join the army and face
possible death. They are allowed no
choice. OF them we demand absolute
self-surrender. If it is refused or evad-
Cd 70 jail they 60. Can we, should we,

to rs, hesitate single moment to
deprive ourselves of anything and
everything that we can do without
that they may be provided and
equipped with all they need and what
ever 10 necessary to bring this fright
full carnage speedy to an end?
The man or woman who now fails to
reduce bis or her expenditure to the
lowest possible minimum consistent
with decency and health aud to buy
government bonds with all that he or
she can save or make is guilty OF
treason. Let there be no mistake
about this. Bring yourself to under
standing of this fact and act upon 1t.
Then make all those you come in con-
tact with understand 1t also. When
the roll OF those who have helped
the nation with their money &C.
