NEW LIBERTY LOAN DATES.

WASHINGTON. D. c., July 25.-The
Treasury virtually has recided TO hold
the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign in
the three weeks period between Sep
tember % and October 10.
An announcement is expected this
week in order to permit Liberty Loan
workers and business interests to ar
range for the campaign.
The length Of the drive will be re-
duced from the usual four weeks. as
recommended by many Liberty Loan
workers, with the hope Of avoiding the
usual slump of interest in the middle
Of the campaign.
Reasons prompting officials TO choose
these dates included the fact that farm
ers during October probably can make
liberal subscriptions from harvest pro-
ceeds, and that il was desirable TO end
the campaign a week or two before the
elections. Thousands Of can
ddates for office are expected to enroll
as Liberty Loan speakers. although dis
cussion Of political issues will not be
tolerated

.ST.PAUL'S PAY DEBT
WITH LIBERTY BONDS

John s. Rossell, chairman OF the third
Liberty Loan committee, has written a
letter to the board OF trustees OF st
Paul's NJ. f. Church endorsing their
plan for liquidating a debt OF $40, 200 on
the church. The idea is for members
and friends OF the church to buy Lib.
erty Bonds Of the fourth issue and do
nate them TO the church. Mr. Rossell
expressed the wish that churches
throughout the country would adopt
this plan in the next campaign. Mr..
Rossel's letter follows:
July %, 1918.
Mr.. r. C. Hardesty, President Board Of
Trustees OF st. Pauls NJ. Z. Church,
Wilmington, Delaware.
Dear Mr. Hardesty: Referring to our
conversation regarding the plan adopted
by your church for paying off its debt
Of $4,000, through subscriptions to the
next Liberty Loan, take great pleas
IRE in commencing this very patriotic
ana practical method and in wishing
you and your associates the greatest
success.
The appeal made by the Government
10 the people at large for the loan OF
their funds TO aid In prosecuting the
war is directed TO their high sense OF
patriotism and gener Jsity, and to their
splendid spirit OF sac.ilce. The pur-
chase OF Liberty Bonds and the gift Of
these bonds TO the church seem to me
to meet admirably the very laudable
purposes Of the Government, and to
offer a most excellent opportunity OF
rendering at the same time a very
praiseworthy service.
It you'd be very helpful in the next
Liberty Loan campaign II the churches
throughout the country would adopt
your plan and undertake TO Lquidate
their indebtedness in the way you pro-
pose.
| hope that you will be able to raise
the full amount OF your debt and that
the enthusiastic effort OF your MEM
bers may be one Of the most interest
Ing features Of the campaign.
Always with most cordial good
wishes, ] remain
Yours very sincerely,
JOHN S. R0SSELL.

ROMANCE IN RUSKlNs LIFE
Divergent Religious Views for Long
Time Separated Him From the
Woman He Loved.

In 1866 Ruskin declared his love for
Rosie La Touche and told her parents
of his hope to make her his wife, says
J. Howard Whitehouse in Scribner's.
There was a great difference of years
between them. Ruskin was forty-sey-
en-; Rosie was in her eighteenth year.
There was some natural hesitation on
the part of the parents, and it was ar
ranged that the matter should.be post
poned for three years.
But when the period of probation
was ended new difficulties arose.
There was hesitation not only on the
part of the parents, but also by Rosie.
Miss La Touche was of a deeply re-
ligious nature, but her views were or
thodox and she did not share the wider
views on spiritual questions in which
Ruskin increasingly believed.
Her love for him had never wav-
cred since the days of her childhood;
but she doubted If, holding the views
she did, she could marry him. Both
she and Ruskin suffered the deepest
distress.
For a little time there was es-
arrangement, and there is moving en-
try in Ruskin's diary in the year 1870:
Last Friday about twelve O'clock at
noon my mistress passed me and
would not speak" In the following
year there was reconciliation.
The end of Ruskins dream came in
1875. Miss La Touches health never
strong, began to fail, and she died in
May of that year.

LIGHT PLANT GIVEN
FUEL PREFERENCE

James Dillon, superintendent of the
Light plant received letter Friday
from federal fuel administrator Evans
Woollen instructing him that the
Richmond Light plant had been plac-
ed in a preferred class for distribu-
ton Of coal.
Woollen went on to state. however
that this in no sense means that the
administration will guarantee to de-
liver coal in event Of shortage next
winter Should a shortage Of coal ex-
list as now seems probable, the state
administration will not discriminate
ly help the light plant, just because 1t
happens to be a public utility. he said.
No assistance will be rendered pub
lie utilities unless reasonable pre-
cautions have been taken to avoid a
shortage.
Superintendent Dillon announces
that he now has 1000 tons of coal on
hands and expects to start the winter
with at least 5000 to 10000 tons OF
coal. Owing to the improper facil-
tiles for storing coal at the plant no
more coal can be received until fall as
to pile it higher in the hot weather
may result in loss for the city as the
coal fires easily.
