placed on file and is merely added
assurance that Lowden's name will
appear on the ballot.
Although the time for filing petit

ISHAFER RElIERATES STATEMENT THAT
MENOT CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
Paging Henry Olson

Rockford. ILL.,, Feb. 29.-(AP)
Henry Olson, wherever you
are. read this:
Convicted Of staying Floyd
Stotler. oil station attendant.
and sentenced to life imprison-
ment, you jumped your appeal
bond last Thursday, didn't you:
With your young wife you drove
away. and your $4,000 bond,
on which Judge Fisher had al.
lowed you your freedom pend.
ing arguments for . new trial,
was declared forfeited.
But you may come back now.
Henry Olson! That life sentence,
though It still stands over you,
is not likely to Be enforced.
10 you know George Bliss
and Morris Mahan? They are
only II years old. nine years
younger than you. They are
under arrest, Henry Olson, and
the police say they have con-
fessed they were the ones who
held up the filling station last
September and shot down Stot-
Ter when he resisted.
You should come home, Henry
Olson, and give personal thanks
to your attorney, H. b. North,
whose certainty Of your limo.
cence led to the uncovering of
evidence which resulted in the
Mahan and Bliss arrests ycster-
day. North heard rumors of a
woman who had dropped re.
marks indicating that you were
innocent. The woman was qucs.
toned. She told police that Ma
han had told her he took part in
the holdup.
They are searching for you
today. Henry Olson. You think
It is too good to be true? You
think such things happen only in
novels? You are wrong. It is
true. Come home, Henry Olson,
and see.

kEL L0GG REMEWS PLEA FOR ANTINAR treaty
Grain Dealers Discuss Matters Pertaining Their Work
If for a Longer Lite You Pine,
Rejoice! Today Is February 2S

Four years Of waiting for q birth
day celebration ended for $4,000
Americans today. Then tomorrow
they will begin four more years Of
waiting for another such opportun-
ity..
Should others than persons born
on February 20 want to celebrate
also, growing custom provides plen.
tiful excuse. The occasion is ideal
for the exercise of prerogatives
which Leap Year tradition assigns to
femininity-such as proposing, invit-
ing male friends to dinners and
dances at which the womenfolk pay
the bills, and the like.
Blame That Caesar Feller
Julius Caesar is the individual on
whom rests blame for the long hiatus
between birthdays Of the February
29th-ers. 1t was Caesar, aided by
the astronomer Clavius, who in ~
B. G. devised the idea OF an extra
day for the calendar every four
years.
A calendar year 3e5 ia days in
length would be properly adjusted,
Caesar figured. to the natural or
solar year. But he wasn't quite right.
For the solar year is exactly 365
days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46
seconds long-or IL minutes and Ia
seconds shorter than the year that
Caesar and Clavius calculated.
Pope Gregory XII was the man
who corrected the error. He found
in 1852 that the calendar was full
10 days out of joint. To fix matters,
he ordained that October S. 1852.
should be called October Is. And
then he amended Caesars Leap Year
formula SO it wouldn't happen again.
Caesar ruled that every year divis.
ible by four without remainder
should be Leap Year. Gregory added
the provision that Of the years evenly
divisible by 100, only those also
evenly divisible by 400 should be
Leap Years.
No Cause for Worry
That shaved the lack of coordin.
alton between calendar and solar
years down to 4 very fine hair. Not
until some 5000 years after 1852,
or about the year 4852, will the sur.
viving error Of the Gregorian calen-
dar amount to full day. Thus the
extent to which the civil year Of
today still does not exactly coincide
with the solar year is no matter for
present generations to worry about.
With February - coming. only
once IN 146r days, it7 natural that
not, very many things Of great I'M
portance have happened on the extra
days Of American Leap Years.
