NO FEAR Of THIS
 IN POLK COUNTY
Roundup of Slackers and Draft Eyad- CTS Has Begun in Arkansas--War- rants for 73 in Hands of U. s.
 Marshal Parker.

From the Southwest American
 Fort Smith, March 1S.-For the past two or three weeks the national press has carried news of a nationwide movement by the department of jus tice to proceed against all persons charged with being slackers, by eva sions of the conscription regulations.
 That movement on Friday reached the western district of Arkansas when the federal officers received govern ment charges against the western dis triet men who are charged with evad- ing their duty as patriotic citizens. Warrants are in the hands of United States Marshal Parker for 73 men who are charged with seditious actions or conscription evasions. The list in cludes defendants in nearly every one of the about thirty-five counties in the western district. It is probable that when the roundup is made many de fendants will be found to be innocent of the charge. Many are known in va rious parts of the country to have been technical violations, who failed to re- port for registration. but had in fact entered the service elsewhere. Other legitimate grounds for release from the charge will develop, no doubt. But the important thing is that the young men who went on the scout, the men who "hindered" the registration in va rious ways, and similar offenders are to be called to account by the depart ment of justice.

BANK CASHIER GAVE
 LIFE, SAVES CASH
Glen ShocIey Was Killed When Re- sisted Attempt of Four Bandits to Rob South Side Bank in Kansas
 City--Made Escape.

Kansas City, March 10.--Glenn Shockey, cashier of the South Side bank located at 39th and Main streets, in the heart of the residence district of Kansas City was killed during a sensational attempt by four bandits to hold up the bank yesterday.
 An official of the bank saw che four men reach for their weapons as they approached the door of the bank and attempted to close the door. One of the bandits fired and the shot grazed the officials head. An attempt by the janitor to assist in preventing the entrance of the men resulted in fur ther shots being fired. One of thes killed Shockey, who was behind the counter.
 Bandits Escape.
 The bandits then fled without get ting near the counter. They made their escape in motor ear.
 The South Side bank was held up February 12 by single bandit who escaped with $4000 in cash.
 As the four men forced their way thru the doorway of the bank, Henry Strohmeyer, bookkeeper, dropped be- hind his desk and with a revolver opened fire on the robbers. Shockey likewise is said to have fired a re- volver from his cage.
 One Believed Hit.
 As the robbers leaped into their motor car, a shot struck the last man and he crumpled. His companions dragged him into the car as it sped away.
 A motor car salesman gave chase and followed the bandits car for sev- eral blocks thru the residence district but gradually was left behind.
 Maurice J. McNellis, treasurer, was slightly wounded when the bandits opened fire as they entered the bank. He was unable to say whether his wound was from a revolver bullet or whether he was knocked down by one of the bandits. Four bullets struck ShockSy and he died within a few minutes.
 Four men and two women, one of the men suffering from a bullet wound in the hip, were being held by the police tonight in connection with the attempted robbery.
 Although one of the men held has been identified by the bank janitor, it was said by the police tonight that lit tie credence is placed in the identifi- cation. The men arrested were riding in a small sedan, while the automo- bile in which the bandits escaped was touring car. The arrest followed so soon after the fight in the bank that the police believe the bandits would hardly have had time to change cars.

the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine:
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, ~ like

recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says 'Take for

suits, as many of my customers testify.

According to sworn statements sand

SCOUT REGISTRATIONS HELD.

There Is so much of uncertainty In
Industrial circles. so much of discon-
tent and of the spirit of waiting In the
national atmosphere. that IT is quite
understandable that scoutmasters who
have devoted tremendous energy to
their work through the war period
should become little more deliberate
about their scout work this year.
This tendency is expressed nation
ally in the delay of innumerable re-
registration blanks.
Energy is the secret of prompt re-
registration which sustains the exten-
sion work of national headquarters.
maintains the records of the boys who
will some day want the Veteran Scout
badge and contributes so largely to the
appreciation which the boys feel or do
not feel regarding the opportunity to
be part of certain troop.
