| Jo Nichol, cashier of the Simmons National bank, was elected chairman Of the meeting and H. B. Strange secretary treasurer of the Peoples Savings Bank & Trust company was made secretary. MT. Nichol read to l the meeting the detailed description of the bonds, the governments plan of floating the big issue, and the plans decided upon at the conference a week ago at St. Louis of clearing house officials and officers of the fed- eral reserve bank at St. Louis.
 President J. H. Mann of the Peo- ples' Savings Bank & Trust company and cashier A. D. Foster of the Mer- l chants & Planters bank, both spoke in interesting manner of the St. Louis conference, and explained how the plans were adopted there, of making a new government slogan, "A Liberty Bond in Every Home." Rev. J. I. Norris, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, made an inspiring talk to the bankers, urging and hoping that the slogan could be carried, and stating that he could see no reason why there should not be a Liberty bond in every home, He urged that the bankers and all per- sons able to help finance the war should do so, to furnish the sinews and the necessities for the bows on the firing line. He suggested also that the negroes be interested ex- pressing the belief that they vii, gladly help their country in this manner, just as they have always tried to help in any other manner nos sible.

BEGIN
QUESTIONABLE
STACKER HUNT
Names Of Delinquents to Be
Made Public by Dis
trict Board.

Instructions were yesterday given to
the police to round up delinquents who
have failed to return their draft ques-
tionnaires, as required by law.
With the instructions was a list OF
men who seemingly have ignored the
document and last night the police
were visiting the homes of these tardy
registrants in an effort to locate them.
Beginning today the District Board
will make public the names Of men
who have not returned questionnaires
and are officially rated as potential de-
serters. Each day new lists will be
turned over to the police.
Great Task Lengthens.
The task OF classifying the question
naires is going to take much longer
than originally anticipated. because
the average Of returned documents
shows that well over so per cent are
improperly filled out.
Many have neglected to sign the
paper. others have not attested their
answers and many others have only
partially answered the questions. All
of these registrants will be summoned
before the local boards and required to
make their questionnaires perfect.
mus lar ~ per CcuJ VI Tic o@BVVV
registrants have been furnished with
the questionnaires. The statistics
available show that 10 per cent of the
questionnaires have been returned to
the local boards undelivered and an
other 10 per cent have not been re-
turned at all. although they may show
up after the seven day period, which
is the limit allowed by the regulations.
Assistance Is Available.
Those who have not yet received
their QUESTIONABLE are urged to avail
themselves of the free advice Of the
legal advisory board or of the lawyers
who have volunteered their services to
assist registrants and make certain
that their answers are correct ano
the blank properly filled out.
Further warning is issued that re-
sponsibility for failure to receive the
document rests with the registrant II
he has not notified the board having
jurisdiction in his case Of any change
of address since June 5.

Admiral Bowles also warned the
committee not to expect too much in
the steel ship production. All the
suitable steel in the country in
1918 would, he said, produce some
thing over 100000 tons of ship
ping. But labor delays. divergence
of steel to commercial uses and

more than seven million tons of
