COUNTY COUNCIL
HEAD IS DEPOSED
BY STATE BODY
Holdenville Banker Charged with
Buying Liberty Bonds Below
Market Price; To Set
Examples.

Oklahoma City oct. 3O.-One of
the most stringent measures yet
adopted by the Oklahoma State Coun.
ell of Defense was the passage of a
resolution on October 10, by which
G. L. Renson of Holdenyille, chair
man Of the Hughes County Council
Of Defense, was deposed from office
and dismissed from the executive
committee OF the county council. It
had come to the knowledge of the
state council. the resolution stated,
that Benson had admitted purchasing
$1200 to S1400 worth of Liberty
bonds at from so to 81 cents on the
dollar. The council resolved that
any person who purchases Liberty
bonds at less than their market
value is iniuring future sale of the
bonds and doing an unpatriotic act
and whereas members OF the execu.
tive committees of county councils
of defenses are expected to set an
example in patriotic work, it was
urged that the widest publicity be
given to the dismissal of Benson that
purchasers may understand that prof
iteering in these bonds will not be
tolerated. The resolution asked that
members of the Hugehs County Coun-
ell of Defense be notified of the re.
moval of their chairman from office
and instructed to select some other
member as chairman
At the same meeting the Blaine
County Council of Defense, as at
present constituted was dissolved
''on account of general inability to
take charge of county work
Every newspaper in Oklahoma has
been notified of this action on the
part OF the state council.

Versailles, Oct. 2o.--lt is snticipat-
ed today that the armistice terms to
Germany will be similar to those Of.
fered TO Bulgaria. It is thought, how.
ever, that extra precautions will be
necessary and some harsher clauses
may be inserted in the official text.
The international conference is un.
derstood to have agreed on the main
political points OF the armistice. The
terms must be severe, it is agreed,
owing to the fact that Germany start.
ed the war, the renewal of which
must be made impossible.
COL E. NJ. House, personal friend
and adviser of President Wilson and
an American representative at the
conference, has called on President
Poincare of France and has conferr.

French leaders have also received

Greek minister to France.
Few believe that the inter-alied
conference will last more than

Final Figures from County Chair
man Shows Grady People Pur-
chased $2S6,1OO Worth Of
Fourth Liberty Bonds.
OTHER COUNTIES GET
CREDIT FOR WORK DONE
Chickasha City Goes $104,000
Strong Outside Railroaders,
Who Buy $45,0OO; Indians
Buy $4,000.

In final reports showing the sub
scriptions Of every township in the
county issued today by f. L. Slush-
er, county chairman Of the Fourth
Liberty loan drive, it is shown that
on a quota Of $4,000 named by the
Federal reserve authorities, Grady
county rolled up a total subscription
to the tune OF $2S6,250, or $151250
over the prescribed figure.
Grady county, however, is credited
with only $27920O as other counties
were credited with $7,050 from the
work of the Grady organization.
These credits occurred where GER
tain towns in the county drew bank
ing patrons from outside the county.
These patrons, who do their banking
regularly in Grady but live in other
counties, bought Liberty bonds at
their bank, but their amounts we're
credited to the county in which they
lived
The Grady townships thus affected
are Bradley, where $3.50 We're
credited to stephens county; Chand-
Ter, where 5000 went to other coun-
ties; Wadon. where $500 went out
side, and Starr, where $1,000 went to
Comanche and Stephens counties. In
the latter instance the township was
credited with so less than the quota
assigned in Grady, despite the fact
that on quota of $3.50, the work
of the Grady organization secured
subscriptions for $4100 worth of Lib
ertt bonds. The other $2i00 were
bought by people living outside OF
Grady county
The city Of Chickasha went strong.
On a quota of an even 100000, the
city rolled up $1O4,2Oo, outside of the
railroad subscriptions. The railroad
men bought 5000 worth Of bonds,
making the total for the city of
Chickasha $4,000 The quota for
the city of Chickasha and Chickasha
township was 100000, yet in addi-
tion to the $4,000 subscribed in
the city, Chlckasha township swelled
that total by buying $2100 worth
more, making grand total of $lgl,-
300
Included in the total amount sub
scribed by Grady county is one item
of $4,000 purchased by the Indian
members of the Five Civilized Tribes
through the department and credited
on Grady's quota.
Following is a list Of the various
townships, showing their quotas and
the amounts credited to other coun-
ties in townships where such cases
existed:
Alez-Quota, $4,000; subscriptions,
$74OO
AmDer-Quota, $500; subscrip-
tions, $235O
