conference on financing the war here
today that American business must not

imagination necessary to see the great

sential to victory.
Mr.. Miller pointed to the increase In
federal reserve bank investments as
evidence OF the existence OF initiation,
partially responsible for the rise in
commodity price, since the United
States went 70 war and declared that
IL this increase continued, Il was not un-
reasonable to expect that before long
the reserve system would be made into

He explained the process ny vhien

is making arrangements today to take

was asked by the army signal service
to train $1,000 young men.
What Oklahoma's quota is TO be has
not been ascertained, but II is thought
that at least 500 young men can be
trained at the A. and NJ college alone
with no expense to the men themselves
and with very little expense to the state

Casualty Company
Asks $4,000 From
State Bank Board

Half a million dollars and a tenn
porary Injunction are asked by the Ma
ryland Casualty company in a suit
filed in federal district court yester-
day against the Oklahoma state bank
ing board =,
The company charges that its busi,
ness in Oklahoma has been practically
ruined since October IL, when the
board passed a resolution which stated
that no further bonds executed by the
company on any bank officer would be
accepted The action was inspired by
the refusal Of the company to pay a
claim for 5000 on a defaulting banker
The injunction sought would, II
granted, prevent the board from further
publishing its resolution among the
banks OF the state.
