Your Government asks you
very earnestly not to sell your
Liberty Bonds unless you have
TO. To part with your Liberty
Bonds means giving up your
pledge Of patriotism and citi-
zenship, and handing your re-
spons:t ilities and privileges over
to some one else. Liberty Bonds
will be worth much more money
presently and it is good bust
ness to hold them.
If you must sell, get the full
market price. Go to a respons-

you information and advice. Dc

The late war and. it's end were sub

troubled year we find, however, some
forecasts that were too striking to be
appreciated by the world intent upon
the intense business of warfare.

days before the big German drive be-

sion on many units that, in case the
war did not then end, they would re-

Janus was q primitive Italic solar
deity, regarded among the Romans as
the doorkeeper of heaven and the es-
pecial patron of the beginning and
ending of all undertakings. AS the
protector of doors and gateways. he
was represented as holding staff or
scepter in the right hand and a key in
the left. and as the god of the suns
rising and setting he had two faces.
one looking to the east and the other to
the west. His temple at Rome was
kept open in time Of war, and was
closed only in the rare event of uni
