Who Will Buy The Victory"
 Lean.

To whom arc we going to sell the Fifth Loan? Are we going to the same people who subscribed to the previous loans?
 Yes, we are.
 Will they subscribe to this loanf
 Yes, unquestionably.
 But how about those people who being conscientiously opposed to war would not subscribe to war loansf
 They will be as conscientiously Op- posed to peace loans.
 Go after the same old subscribers then?
 Yes, they are the dependables!
 Is there, then, no patriotic appealf
 Certainly; but this kind of person is probably as patriotic as any of the rest of us. Such person is apt to be as proud of Uncle Sam's good name as of his own.
 Is there anything can do now, be- fore the next loan starts?
 Yes, tell everybody you see that you will give them tip on one of the best investments ever offered-gilt- edged and guaranteed by the Govern ment, and that t---,- c-a-ae De let in on it. Tell them that if it required influence or political pull to get these bombarding his congressman or sem atOr.
 And you will be telling the truth!

Old New Years Dav.

The act for the change of style pro- vided that the legal year in England 17o2, should commence, not on the 25th of March, but on the first of Jan uary. and that after the third of Sep tember in that year, the next ensuing day should be held as the 14th thus dropping out Il days. A similar change was made about the same time in Sweden and Tuscany, and Russia and Greece are now the only countries using the old style. The years 1SO( and 1900, not being considered by us as leap years, have interjected two more days, actually making the differ ence IS days between old and new style.

If plans adopted by a special com mittee are carried out, Tokyo will be- come city with an area of 226 square miles-a startling contrast to it's pres ent area of 30 square miles.

History Told by Fossils.

Many of the animals of the Jnrassic period were of great size. In the chalk formations which remain from these times fossils are common. Fossils are the preserved remains, impressions or traces of animals or plants of past ages. They tell wonderful things about the history of the earth to scientists who know how to interpret their mean Ing. Sometimes fossils occur in vast numbers, crowded together in the rock
 And indeed the chalk itself is made up. or was originally composed of, the re- mains of minute organisms, tiny shells and sDiculeS (nee(le-like bodieS) that can be seen only under the microscope.
