BANKERS AND STATE OFFICERS
MEET
Plans Made to Finance State During
Coming Tight
Months.

Cooperation with the Bank of
North Dakota for the purposes Of
working cut plan for financial re-
adjustment for North Dakota was
voiced Tuesday at the audite rum of
he Bismarck Commercial CLUB at a
preliminary meeting OF state bankers
who have been called to Bismarck by
State Examiner Lofthus to discuss
che present situation. The keynote
IF the meeting was sounded by Wes-
ley Mcdowell, of Marion, who presid-
ed and urged the bankers of the state
70 pledge the completion OF the mill
and elevator at Grand Forks, the sale
IF $3,000,000 in real estate bonds to
ease the credit situation that con-
fronts the Bank of North Dakota.
No Actic1 Taken
No formal action was taken. The
meeting was merely a getting to-
ye5her session and the bankers were
lrged to pack up private grievances,
seerete all monkey wrsnches and at
tend the session billed for late Tues
lay afternoon in the chambers of the
state senate.
The announcement Of Mr.. Mellow
ell to the bankers was made following
conference Of the officers of the
North Dakota State Bankers Asso-
:iation with Director General Cathro
Of the Bank of North Dakota, Cover
.1or Frazier and Attorney General
eject William Lemke. He declared
hat these gentlemen were willing to
place all their cards on the table and
meet the bankers in any scheme. to
solve the various economic problems
arising out of the present situation
which confronts every state in the
Union.
Not Endorse Principle
1t was conceded by the bankers who
addressed the conference that in eny
action to assist toward harn:c nious
settlement of differences, the bankers
did not endorse the principle Of state
owned mills and, elevators or the Bank
Of North Dakota, but were willing to
give and take in the crisis and coop
crate with the state administration to
carry to completion the mill and ele-
vator under construction at Grand
Forks and to get behind the Bank Of
North Dakota bonds to the extent of
100000 SO that public funds now
tied ur in North Dakota real estate
mortgages could be released to do
duty in the various localities where
aid was most urgent.
Spirit of Optimism
There was a spirit of optimism, a
seeming determination to lay aside all
political considerations and idea of
reprisals provided the representatives
Of the state administration would
meet the bankers on strictly busi-
ness basis and with the sole idea of
working out plan that would place
North Dakota where it belonged as
Mr.. Mcdowell termed it ''high up on
the roll of honor with integrity un-
impaired.

FINAL WARNINGS Is
GIVEN TO SLACKERS
DOUBTFUL DRAFT REGIsTRANTs
URGED TO WRITE THE ADJ
JUTANT GENERAL

Washington.-The war department, /
in a final effort to square accounts
with the 1891 men now listed on
the books as draft deserters, Monday
offered last chance to any Of those
men whose names are enrolled there
by error to put themselves right.
Any draft registrant who is in doubt
as to his status is enjoined by the de-
prtment to write at once to the adju-
tant general of the army at Washing
ton and find out how he is classified
He is urged to do so within the next
two weeks, os as to allow sufficient
time for his case to be passed on be-
fore public announcement Of the
names of the deserters is made. Each
man classified as a draft deserter has
had his name posted in the community
In which he is registered as being re-
quired to perform certain duties and
efforts have been .made to notify him
at the address given by him.
In its announcement, the war de
partment lays stress on its anxiety
mot to place upon any man who
served his country honorably the hn
utilization of having his name appear
: as a Stacker, and says for that reason
It is advertising as widely as possible
the fact that the list Of deserters vii
soon be published and that the mer
whose names appear on it viii be ar
rested and tried before military
/, courts. It therefore urges every mar
who is not positive that his record
with the local draft board was com
plete in every detail to clear his rec
ord adding:
"Once the list of deserters is posted
every means at the disposal Of th'
army will be brought into play t.
bring about the arrest and trial Of thu
guilty"
"The tremendous public sentimen
against sIackers," the announcement
: concludes, will cause the whereabouts
: of most Of them to be revealed ant
r 1t is not expected that any guilty mai
: will escape.
