ance Urged Of Committee
Appointments.
Representatives of eleven of the
fourteen banks in the county were in
attendance at a meeting of the Shia-
wassee County Bankers Association
held Friday evening at the armory
called for the purpose of organizing
the county for the sale of the second
issue of u. S. Liberty bonds. Presi-
dent w. F. Gallagher presided, call
ing !@,~st upon j. w. Jeffries of De-
troit, representing the Federal Re-
serve Bank of Chicago, to explain just
what was wanted by the government
in the way of organization and to
state the conditions of the bonds. Af-
ter his explanation, which was quite
in detail, the representatives of the
banks expressed willingness to CO.
operate in every way possible in as
sisting to finance the government at
this critical period. AS result of
the discussion it was decided 20 carry
on the campaign along similar lines
used in the campaign for selling the
first issue and to have E. o. Dewey,
of Owosso, act as campaign manager,
with power to appoint the several
committees. The feature of the gath
ering was the unanimity of express
sion to get back of the sale and push
it to the utmost that Shiawassee coun-
ty might be kept out of the Stacker"
class.
The $4,000, 100000 issue of bonds
will bear interest at the rate of four
per cent-a half per cent more than
that of the first issue, and which au-
tomatically increase the interest paid
on the $2,000,000,000 to the same fig
ure, exchange of the bonds being
made when desired through the bank
of purchase. The bonds are issued in
denominations of $50 and multiples
and run from. ten tc twenty-five years
at the pleasure of the government,
with interest payable May Is and Mo-
yember 10 of each year. The terms
Of payment are two per cent at the
time of making application; eighteen
per cent November 15; forty per cent
December Is and the balance January
18th, with accrued interest on both de-
ferred installments. Payment can be
made in full for any subscription not
in excess of $1,000 at the time of
application.
To givs opportunity to perfect the
county organization and to outline q
plan of work throughout the county,
mass meeting will be held at the Ar
mory, Owosso, Sunday afternoon, at
