any future date will fall, even
though that date should be a thou
sand years hence. Also that under
the new form there would be no
more than five Sundays to the
month to upset all our calculations.
Every holiday and every ami
versary will always fall on its par
ticular day of the week. 1t will be
on the same day of the week in
every year. Strange to say, the
Fourth of July, Victory Day (Nov.
11th), Thanksgiving day, and
Christmas, will all come on Thurs
day every year, after this change is
made.
A promissory note given for any
number of weeks, months and years
will always mature on the same
day of the week it was given. Hun
dreds of thousands of notes and
contracts are executed every day OF
the year, and it would be a great
convenience to both parties to the
contracts if they could known on
what day of the week each obliga-
ton would mature. This is imprac-
teal now, but under the Liberty
calendar, the maturity day would
be known at once The new plan
will also be a great convenience TO
both employers of labor and to en-
ployes.
The American Equal Month Cal
endar association asks the coopera-
ton of all who are interested IN
this important reform, and 1t cor
daily invites all such to Join the
association and help secure this i'm
provement to our unsatisfactory
and out of date time calendar. The
membership fee is only 81 for an
annual membership. or So for a five
year term. All funds received are to
be used carefully in furthering the
cause. The organization is incorpor-
ated under the laws of Minnesota
and it's offices are in the Oneida
building. Minneapolis. An interest
ing booklet and other printed mat
ter is sent to each new member OF
the association. A large convention
of the advocates of the plan may De
held next fall.

BUSINESS CHANCES.
EXTRA GOOD
INVESTMENT

An established, going Topeka finan-
cial concern requires additional capf-
tai to take care of business already
offered it. The class of business it
handles, its methods, it's standing in
business circles, and its officers and
directorate invite the closest inspec-
ton.
A limited amount of preferred stock
in this company is now offered the
public. 1t is guaranteed to pay per
cent dividends, payable semi-annually.
and in all probability will pay more.
