Victory garden tracts in the sou thern part of Anchorage townsite are cultivated by seventeen em- ployees of the Alaskan Engineering Commission.

MAY ADOPT DECIMAL SYSTEM
England Seriously Considering Aban. donlng Its Antiquared Currency In
 Favor of Simplicity.

England may adopt the decimal sys- ten for its currency. The agitation for this reform appears to be gaining favor with the British people, anu among the important agencies oehihu the movement is the Associated Cham- hcr of Commerce of the United King dom. For generations schOOlboys nave, been learning this: Four farthinSs make one penny, twelve pence nlaRe one shilling, twenty shillings make one pound, twenty-one shiiliuGS sterling make one guinea. twenty shiIlinSs ster- ling make one sovereign.
 Then there were the symbols 10 learn-rthe capital "L" with snort line across the shank of the letter TOT the Latin "libra." or p.,uud; the little IS" for shilling. or the Latin SO'idus; the little 'd'' for denGnw or penny and the "Qr" for "QuadrahS,' or quar- ter of a penny, standing for farthlhS, though latterly liar" came to stahu generally for farthing. All American schoOlboys have studied the table or English money In that part of their arithmetic dealing with reduction which Is "the changing of numbers. either simple OF compound. from one denomination to another without alter ing their vGlues." Many men will prop ably remember that as boys they worked and labored over two kinds or reduction" which were called "redur' 1 tlOn descending and reduction ascend ing"
 The decImalIzing of English money is. of course, in the line of simplitca- ton. Some of the financial powers and papers are urging that parliament take the matter under consideration, and 1t Is likely to come up for official | treatment and discussion at any time.

Paper On Thrift Stamps

The following article on Thrift
Stamps was read today at the Cam
bridge Academy by a boy who is in
the fourth grade:
Ladies and Gentlemen: l am glad
to have been given this opportunity
to say few words to you in regard
to Thrift Stamps and War Savings
Stamps, but it makes me wish
could make, not just "boyish
speech" but one of such stirring
words as would arouse your patriot
ism and make you all determine to
buy the stamps even if you make
great sacrifice to do so. Our school
has heard great deal about these
stamps-we have our Thrift Club and
some of us l know have bought quite
a number of them. So I need not
explain about the interest paid. etc.
The money thus lent to Uncle Sam
is splendid investment for us. It
is not for people who have lots of
money, for they can buy Liberty
Bonds, but these stamps furnish a
way for everybody who can spare a
few quarters to lend something to
their country and do their bit to-
wards winning this awful war. The
harder it is to save these quarters. or
the harder We have to work to earn
them, the more we feel we are do
ing out part. These stamps seem to
me to be especially for Uncle Sans
children. 1t makes them patriotic
and taches them to save. It also
teachs them the value of money
when hey find their pennies helping
to wilma great war. We children of
Ameria by buying Thrift Stamps
can trn our pennies into copper |
shots the Huns. For we will be
helpin to keep our Sammies in |
France fed and equipped, so they
can nat for us. Now is there a girl
or boy who would not be glad to
give smething to their country?
But inuying Thrift Stamps you are
only aaed to lend your money, and |
Uncle am will pay you back with
interes Now l hope you will each 4
and a save the pennies that come
to youearn all you can this summer
from ar gardens, running errands
or dog chores, earn it as best we
can, al buy Thrift Stamps with it
all.
BuyBuy!! Buy!i!
