QUOTAS OF LOAN
WILL DEPEND ON
WAR STAMP SALES
Oversubscriptions of January
and February Savings Cam
paign AIlotnents to Re-
duce Loan Task

Victory Liberty Loan quotas of the
Twelfth Federal Reserve District are
to be determined in some measure by
the amounts loaned the government
by each district in War Savings
Stamps during January and February.
If a district oversubscribes its War
Savings Stamp quotas for the first
two months of the year, its Victory
Liberty Loan quota will be decreased
to the extent of the oversubscription.
Conversely, if district fails to reach
its January and February Stamp quo
tas, its Liberty Loan quota will be
increased.
When Lewis B. Franklin, director
Of the War Loan Organization, was in
San Francisco recently, he revealed
that on the day, the armistice was
signed there was in progress in Wash
ington meeting to formulate plans
for the continuous sale of Liberty
Bonds-such plan as governs the
sale of Thrift and War Savings
Stamps. Moreover, the Liberty Bond
and War Stamps work was to be
closely coordinated.
These plans were Immediately dis
carded when the Germans signed the
armistice and when Secretary of the
Treasury Glass took office he an
nounced that the Victory Liberty Loan
would be the last. In the face of sug-
gestions that the Victory Loan be put
on a cold commercial hasis he added
that the men making these sugges-
tions were discounting the patriotism
Of the American people and he would
depend upon the patriotism of the
American people rather than place Sc
curities Of the United States govern
ment upon plane with the paper of
private corporations.

When the Fat Years Return

BY F. c.
Ambulance 1856, Western Front.
When the fat years return, and, rich
and free,
You half forget, as men have ever
done,
The price once paid for your security,
Thinking too much OF fortune lost or
won,
Too much of pride and laughter, food
and ease,
Or of some public favor cheaply
earned,
oh, then turn back the page and think
Of these
Who gave their bodies for freedom
to be burned
For these lived, too; they, too, loved
ease and laughter,
Sunlight, the green earth. All that
you still keep
They had, and more-vision. If you
come after
And dare forget them, buried SO
young, so deep,
And dare forget this faith for which
they stood
All, but you will not, being of their
blood! The Outlook.

In the course of a Delco-Light

the other day I explained how
easy and simple it is to pump
water with an electric motor.
: His interest was immediate
ly aroused. He said with en-
phasis: "That's the hardest
Job we have" He says it takes
him or one Of his men an hour
every evening to pump water
for the stock. This man will
put in Delco-Light and while
he is doing the rest Of the
chores an electric motor will
pump the water at a cost of
about two cents.
What is your hardest job?"
Perhaps Delco-Light will do it
