Here Is what Professor Gustave

predicts for the coming year:
Here In America much trouble
IL indicated to occur to our govern
ment, our president and his cabinet.
The president will come in for a
good share OF SANDER, dishonor and
discredit.
The heads of large corporations
will come to dishonor and grief, and
justice will prevail.
Agriculture will thrive, and
farmers will be more fortunate and
prosperous than usual
Very hard times will prevail
from January until August, and we
will have no prosperity until next
fall, and anyone holding a position
should remain with such, otherwise
he will have none to remain in

Uncle Sam will spend consider

and he will experience considerable
revenue trouble.

that the records of the interior de-

The files have been under the ex-
elusive and private control of Bal

the insertion of a faxed letter or
the removal of another letter from
the official records. Mr.. Ballinger's
eagerness to have an examination
of the files is like the eagerness of
