 'tW. l.. HEMINGWAY, Chairman for Arkansas" Chairman Bloom has been an untir- ing worker in the local campaign and was ably supported by the general committee, composer of members from every bank, or Clearing House association, the Chamber of Com merce and the Rotary club. Mayor Simon Bloom also was on the general committee. Through the efforts of the general committee, Liberty Loan Day was made an unqualified success, and the subscriptions for the week totalled $4S3,000, or $i09,O0) short of the allotment. The shortage did not feaze Chair man Bloom. He immediately an nounced that meeting of the general committee would be held last Monday night and efforts made to raise the deficit this week. It developed that similar action was taken by other state and county committees Tues day. A general committee author ized the appointment of special wlnd'up committee and Chairman Bloom appointed s. c. Alexander, Chairman; H. K. Toney, E. B. Bloom and D. Stanley Dreyfus, while he ad- dressed himself to the telephone, long distance and the use of the postal service. The result ot this wind-up aas not exceeded the anticipations of me chairman and all committees, for lney declared their faith in Pine Bluff ana Jefferson every day in the week.
 cnairman Bloom said he wished to express the thanks of the committees 10 the people of the city and county wno have so generously responded to the call made in behalf of the Unit ea states and for worldwide liberty. ne said that he fel: that quite a numoer have made ar additional sac llilce to respond to She call and to keep their county in the list of loyal ana patriotic counties.
 When informed that tine loan was oversubscribed, Mayor simon Bloom .ook off his hat ard said: Good, sood old Pine Bluff and Jefferson. we nave the best people on earth, they never fail".
