QUOTAS or LOAN
WILL DEPEND ON
WAR STAMP SALES
Oversubscriptions of January
and February Savings Cam
paign Allotments 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 "a 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 a meeting to formulate plans
for the continuous sale OF Liberty
Bonds-such a 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 cold commercial basis, he added
that the men making these sugges-
lions 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 a plane with the paper of
private corporations.

Great Facts Hard TO Win.

The highest truths are hard to put
into entertaining forms. You expect
to teach children through stories,
games and the exhibition of the con-
crete. Grown-ups are expected TO learn
from the facts presented, arguments
and the abstract. Empty heads and
near-empty heads have to be constant
~ amused. Abstract facts are too
elusive for their truant observation
and perception. They need spoon-fed
products. With men Of brains it's diff
ferent. They love problems hard to
solve. They grow by responding to
life's challenges. So when you think
things tame begin to find why they are
so. The chances are you will find the
fault in yourself. You haven't given
all the attention you should. The great
est facts have to be sought to be won.

American farmers are in better
financial shape than they have been

! of the Federal Reserve Board at Wash
ington, which also predicts a smooth

How Josh BILLINGS Arrived.

Josh Billings, the humorist, was not
appreciated when he offered his first
contribution to a paper in his home
town, according to a correspondent of
Christian Register. who was personally
acquainted with him. He then con-
cluded to follow Artemus Wards ex-
ample and misspell his articles so as
to attract attention. "In this absurd
shape" he said. II sent one of my I'M
fortunate productions to the New York
Weekly. I soon got letter accepting
my manuscript and asking me for
more. In time l was under big salary
not to write for any other paper" One
Of Josh Billings eccentricities de-
scribed was his Lecture on Milk" In
this lecture he never said a word about
milk, but a glassful of that liquid stood
on his desk while he talked and was
occasionally slipped by him as he spoke.
As milk was his support while he
talked, rather than water or something
stronger, his lecture was in truth
given ION milk"

OF this, shall We hesitate for a moment
Liberty Loan-when we can do so by
pledging our credit, perhaps with some
little personal inconvenience, sacrifice
or small discomfort?
The blood of the young manhood OF
America is not now required That
was generously given before the armi-
stice was signed, and now we may give
thanks that no more will be taken.
The credit and good faith of our
country is at stake. We have won the
war, and the cost is small compared
with what has been won. The men of
the West with red blood in their veins
will not need to be appealed to, because
they will subscribe to this last call OF
the Government as ungrudgingly as
they did in the past. There are others,
however, who may not be so keenly and
conscientiously alive to the duty of re-
spending to the Nations call. and it is
to those that the women must direct
their most untiring efforts.
This last call is truly Victory Loan.
What greater pride can men and wo-
men experience than in contributing
to It? A Victory Bond will be worth
more than its price expressed in dol
lars. Every one will be a badge testi-
flying that the holder has helped his
country to fulfill its pledge to those
who have been spared as well as those
who have made the supreme sacrifice

Five governors had served In the
twenty years before Claudlus Bassett
was elected. In the second month af-
ter his election, Bassett paid visit
to the state prison farm, and the i'm
preston made on him by the yearn-
ing eyes Of the forgotten bits Of hui
before had been laid away in the
states files. as numbers, and forgotten,
kept the young governor awake that
night and for many nights afterward.
1t stirred him TO investigate the rec
Ords Of cOnvicts who had served long
terms, to see that mercy was extended
where mercy was due, and to permit
the rewards Of good conduct provided
by law.
Governor Bassett's first visit to the
prison farm was six weeks past, when
one day Robert Greer sat in his moth

evening table for three, and put the
