 SOMEWHAT CHANGED

There has been some confusion re- garding the names of the two estab- lishments which formerly were as one institution. Last spring there was a segregation of the two elements of the McNeil company business. One named McNeil company and the other McNeil Printing company. Subsequently an other change of firm names was made as follows:
 McNeil company, which owns and operates exclusively the store and handles school books, office supplies, and all similar retail trade, the presi- dent of which is T. E. Irvine, and the secretary and treasurer, Lyman Ben nett.
 The other firm which is entirely separate is the Manufacturing Station CTS, Inc. This firm does exclusively job printing of all kinds, book binding ruling, and all similar job printing The president of this company is Frank T. Alkire, and the secretary is J. F. Alkire.

HUGH MARSHALL NEW
 ASST. SECRETARY OF
 STATE DEPARTMENT

Hugh Marshall, long one of the na tionally prominent Phoenicians who has been doing important war work in Washington, has just been named one of the assistant secretaries in the de- partment of state. MT. Marshall will be in charge of that department of the work particularly relating to affairs in the Far East. He will be in direct contact with conditions in Japan, China and Siberia, and it may be that he ulti- mately will have to make a trip to the Far East to look after department of state interests there.
 MT. Marshalrs new duties will keep his closely on the job, and for that reason Phoenix will see less of him than formerly, which will be greatly regretted here. Inasmuch as he is in direct charge of some of the most deli cate of the diplomatic tasks set for the government at Washington, the ap- pointment indicates the appreciation in which his fine work is held in the na- tional capital.
 Because he will be kept away from Phoenix for so much of the time, MT. Marshall has resigned as a director in the Phoenix National bank. MT. Mar shall's connection with the bank dates back a long time and it was in his banking work that he best became known in Phoenix. While he surrend- CTS the directorship with sorrow, he felt that he must devote all of his time to his vastly important war work.
 W. H. Thomson, cashier of the Phoe- nix National bank and one of the best posted and most popular bankers in the state, has been selected director in the place of MT Marshall. He will, of course, continue as cashier of the Phoenix National, a position which he has filled to the satisfaction of the board for about two years.

MAR|COPA COUNTY
 BEHIND IN LOAN

Maricopa county is falling behind it's allotment in the fourth Liberty loan campaign in spite of the fact that many of its leading business men are devoting their entire time toward se- curing subscriptions. There is a de- cided feeling on the part of some of the subscribers who are conscientious ly doing their part that number of our citizens have not subscribed in proportion to the amounts that should be expected from them.
 The loan management has, therefore, appointed committee to review the subscriptions with the idea of calling the attention of those who have un- dersubscribed to the necessity of in creasing the amount, thereby more nearly carrying out their duty to the
