Weather prophet Hicks says that the
months of March and April will prove
exceptionally stormy, wet and cold.
The equinox of Venus falls in the mid
die of April instead of the middle of

Young man, at this time-the Begin
ming of the year-would it not be a good
plan to stop and take an Inventory and
find out just exactly "where you are at?"
Are you earning more money thar
you spend, or spending m re than you
earn7 This is an important question. If
the latter is true, it is something which
you'll be a little slow in finding out. but
you will eventually get to the end of the
string and then you will find that the
tradespeople and the people with whom
you have been associating, as 'friends,"
knew long before you did that you were
acting f~oolishly. To make an income of
$50 plaster up a 500 hole each month will
become very tiresome business 'er long,
and those who have had the experience,
claim that the end, or climax, always
comes in the midst off very cold winter,
indeed. Young man, if you are without
credit, you are sadly Handicapped. In
business and in society the dead beet"
is soon spotted, stunned and sent to the
rear.-Franklin Citizen.
