TO CHANGE The
TITLE OF BANK
Board of Directors OF the German
Trust and Savings Bank OF
This City Decide.
PROPOSITION TO sTOCKHOLDER
Word american VIII BE Inserted
In Title In Place OF Name OF
TeutOnic Origin.

On Jun 4 tho name OF the Ger
man Trust and Savings bank OF
this city will be changed to the
American Trust and Savings bank,
providing the stockholders agree
when they meet on that day.
1t was decided to change the
name at meeting held by the board
of directors Of the bank this morn
ing. The stockholders of the bank
will be presented with a petition
asking that the name be changed at
their next meeting which takes
place in June.
The board OF directors has been
considering changing the name for
some time on account of the word
German" The bank was given its
title during the time when the
United States was at peace with all
the foreign nations. According to
the officers of the bank the title
signified thrift" At that time the
German people were noted for
their thrift. Several OF the direct
ors disagreed when the title was
given but later approved.
The bank has been noted for be-
ing one of the most patriotic insti-
buttons in the city in connection
with the war work. Liberty bonds
are being sold today through the
place and every bit of energy is be
ing put forward to make the sale
one Of the largest.
Germans Suggest.
Although several members Of the
board of directors are of German
descent, it was they who first sug-
gested that the name be changed to
one that is American.
]. L. Vernon, president of the
bank, said today, THE name will be
changed in June. Officials Of this
bank decided this today. We do
not care for the deposits of a man
who places his money Here because
of the name of the institution. We
are willing TO lose all of the ac-
counts that are placed here on that
account. The word German in
the name of our bank at one time
represented thrift but now it rep
resents atrocities The bank has
been considering this step for a
long time. We have done all we

For Itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom
fails to stop itching torture and relieve
skin irritation and that makes the skin
soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, PIN
Piles, rashes, blackheads in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is a safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, $100. 1t will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.

fore District Board VIII Re-
port in Morning.
MANY MORE TO BE EXAMINED
Registrants Numbering 764 I'm Lo-
cal District Still to Receive
Final Classification.

Thfrty-fve draft selective will be
called for examination on Monday
morning in the rooms Of the local
exemption board on the fourth floor
OF the Peoples bank building.
These men comprise a part of the
Rock Island registrants who were
not examined earlier. owing to ap-
peaIs before the district board on
Industrial and agriculture claims,
and other reasons.
Some time ago the local board
finished its work Of examining all
men who had not fled claims or
appeals of one sort or another.
There Is still a large number
whose cases have not as yet been
reviewed by the district board, and
they viii be called for examina-
ton as fast as they are classified
by the district board It is impos-
sible to ascertain definitely how
many men are still to be examined
in class 1, but there are 764 regis
trauts in the local exemption dis
trict who have not received their
final classification.
The local board is still waiting
instructions in regard to Rock Is
lands contingent for the next
draft. which will begin TO be moved
on April %. An unofficial estima-
ton, based on the number of men
who were. called in the first draft,
places the number of men Of this
district who viii be affected by the
next call at approximately seventy.
This, however. IS only rough est
mate as there is no way 10 arrive
at an accurate figure until orders
are received from Springfield.
