c. L. Herring, Of Des Moines, Director
of Sales For This Banking District,
Present at tho Meetin9-Ye''ow
Cards For Slackers Who Refuse to
euy-Cards to Washington.

BY an almost unanimous vote of the
local liberty loan committees from all
the banking communities Of the county
the plan of the next bond selling cam
paign was changed at Mondays meet
ing at the Manhalltown club from the
banking community district to the
township district.
In the other two drives allotments
have ben placed upon each banking
community, according to its combined
bank resources, but there was more
or less confusion and overlapping OF
work. The banks in towns near the
county borders reached over into ad-
joining counties for bond buyers which
they could not do this time because the
entire state has been organized on the
township unit plan and allotments ac-
cording to bank resources would not be
fair if border communities weer to be
kept this side OF the county line in
their canvassing.
c. L. Herring. Of Des Moines, director
Of sales for Group district was pre-
sent and advised that Marshall county i
plan was different from any other in
the state and that it ought to be
changed. 1t was so voted with only
five dissenting votes out of fifty OF
more in the room, and the allotments
will now be made upon the basis OF
assessed valuation of all property sub
| ject to taxation in the various town
ships.
