The nature is strong, kindly. gem
erous and sympathetic. Leo, the gov
erning sign. gives these traits of
character The temperament is inn
pulsive, fiery, tempestuous, artistic,
changeable.
The higher attributes are belief and
self-control. with great love for their
own families and those to whom they
bear friendship.
Leo women are very affectionate,
make excellent mothers and wives
and never desert their families or
their homes. The birthstone is a
ruby or diamond.
True power for these men and
women comes from silence and re-
pose. The first OF April and the last
of March give the birthdates for the
most congenial companions for the
Leo-born.

boarding places will also be found

WAR TAX EFFECTIVE,
BUT FEW STAMPS HERE

The new war tax went into effect
at midnight and today notes and
other instruments must bear stamp
taxes when q transfer is made. The
Citizens bank is the only firm in
town which has the stamps. Other
banks sent in their orders some time
ago but failed to receive their
stamps. w. H. L, Pepperell, Lea
venworth, the United States revenue
collector for this district, sold out
all the stamps he had yesterday. AS
a result record must be kept of all
transactions in Abilene today which
require stamp and the stamps put
on after the demand for stamps here
is satisfied When a man takes a
note to bank, he must pay the
stamp tax. The banks already have
paid their war tax as an institution.
M. H. Malott, president of the
Citizens bank, said today that many
calls had been made upon his bank,
more than he expected.
