county be published. He declared that
such publication will make the other

Mr. Black said plan is being
worked out for publication of names
of subscribers on posters to be dis
played in localities in which subscri-
bers reside.
James P. Curley, of Laurel, said he
is willing to devote advertising space
to the loan free of charge.
Mr.. Black urged cooperation be-

campaign committees.
