Russia does not know which are

A Grown-up Girl.

A Grown-up Girl.
BY Bessie Warren Campbell.
I've grown to be a great big girl,
My hair is in a braid,
Tho mamma says twill take the curl
All out, she is afraid
And nowadays I dress myself
And that is lots of fur,
And spread my little nightie out
And air it in the sun.
I tug and pull my stockings on
And then you ought to see
My little 'lasfics open wide
AS if to bite at me.
They stick their little shining teeth
Into the stocking top
And nip it so it cannot slip
| For all I jump and hop.
Ny petticoats are pretty hard
| (They button in the baci1)
Then comes my little morning dress
| And, when it's cool-a sack.
And SO it's plain how big am
And how it makes me cross
To have my grown-up brother, SarI,
| Say Here's out little Floss"

appeal for rousng finish of the loan
campaign was having effect. scores
of communities which had relied on
desultory methods of gathering sub
scriptions have adopted house-t house
canvassing plans.
Some committees reported tendency
on the part of many citizens not to sub
scribe unless last indications were that
small popular subscriptions were
urgently needed. In answer to these
the treasury said the time had come
when "small subscriptions are urgently
needed 49, >..--
At the same time some hope was
gathered from the fact that citizens
were lpostponing subscribing, rather
than omitting it. This condition made
officials hope there would be great
flood of purchases late this week which
would put the loan over
