PRICE MAINTENANCE. It's Necessity to Aid Consumer

Many big industries engaged in national trade have often in the past done openly what the small concerns in their limited fields have done seeretly-varied prices accord ing to the degree of competition at different times and places. Their object has been to secure the high est price to be had, irrespective of whether the buyer was held up or not.
 The principle of selling goods at close margin at one place to meet or to kill competition, and charg- ing Q high price, to make up for 1t, where little or no competition ex- ists, is economically wrong and un- fair to the buyer. Every article off fered for sale should have a uni- form price plainly marked upon 1t.
 Manufacturers will then have to see that the price of their goods is a reasonable one. so they will sell, and at the same time they will provide enough profit to pay the jobber and dealer fairly for hand- ling the goods at a uniform price. This will inspire confidence in the consumer. because he will know the price can not be cut and must, therefore, be a reasonable one to permit the goods to sell. He will buy such goods in preference to a small selling article sold at exag- gerated profits.
 Everybody wifi benefit from price maintenance in this way. It will protect the manufacturer who has built up well-known brands. also the newcomer who is seeking to do so. Distributors will be protected in handling 1t at fair profit. and they will not be forced. through fear of cut-throat competition, to build up their own private brands at much expense.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER %, 1914.

He who would have success today
must be active in the early hours, for
after noon Mars and Saturn exercise
evil sway. In the morning the Sun
is in place strongly benefic in its in
fuence.
Before afternoon the sign is most
encouraging for all who seek employ
ment. 1t is an suspicious time to push
all business affairs.
Under this configuration all who
rule, whether in high or humble office,
should benefit. The president Of the
United States should be particularly
fortunate.
Politicians who hold office and seek
reelection are supposed to benefit
from this aspect, which encourages
those who possess power to keep it.
Startling events In connection with
the autumn elections are prognosti-
Gated The middle West is under a
rule that presages surprises. New
York has the augury OF severe con-
tests that bring about unsatisfactory
conditions.
This day is not favorable time for
any enterprise in which the old are
interested. for Saturn's adverse sway
Is believed to bring disappointment
and trouble to the aged.
While this aspect prevails it is wise
to avoid arguments. since Mars in evil
place is held to encourage uuarrels
and to cause hasty Judgments Cali
fornia is subject to conditions that are
menacing, and warning is given OF
possible complications with oriental
powers.
There Is prophecy that a wave of
spiritual enlightenment will sweep
over the world. and that this country
will be the scene OF a great conflict of
good and evil, in which greed and a.
truism will be pitted against each 9th
er. Women will be conspicuous in
many public movements for the bet
terment OF humanity.
Socialism is under a rule that prom
ises tremendous gains and unexpected
accession of influence.
Persons whose birthdate it is should
be careful of the health. They should
conserve their means and pass wear
Of industry Those who are employed
will be rather lucky.
Children born on this day have their
magnetic center in the Sun in Scorpio
and their principal ruling in Mars.
They may meet many dsappoint-
ments, because Of chimerical dreams.
but they should be shrewd and enter
prising In most ventures. They are
likely to be fond OF travel.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER rs, 1914.

After early morning the planetary
rule is unfortunate. According to the
reading Of the stars, Neptune and
the Sun are strongly inimical and
Venus is mildly adverse.
1t is well to avoid persons whose
favor is advantageous, for, under this
figure, men and women endowed with
power are likely to be unbending and
ungracious. Visits to relatives are
not favorably ruled and may be most
unlucky.
While this aspect prevails it is we'll
to be exceedingly reticent, as it is
held as dangerous to impart plans that
are important or to communicate seri-
Gus intentions of any sort.
Lovers are subject to evil influences,
it is believed, and overconfidence is
probable when the Sun is opposed to
human desires.
Owing to the aspect of Neptune.
fraud and deception may cause trouble
today.
Exceedingly persistent care concern
ing hygienic conditions Is imperative
under this confguration
The psychic influences are supposed
to be intensified, while this rule of tho
stars continues and they may cause
many vagaries, the seers declare.
Hospitals are under a maleflc sway
today. Much illness in this country
is indicated for next month.
Petrograd is again under a most
sinister rule which presages illness or
trouble for the czar.
Suffering among the poor will be in
tensified by severe weather next win
ter. according to the indications seen
in the stars. Churches will bear many
extra burdens, and philanthropc or
CARNATIONS will extend activities.
Children should be guarded with
especial care, as epidemics are again
foreshadowed. Unusual mortality
among both young and old is indi-
Gated
Persons whose birthdate 1t is have
the representation of anxiety during
the coming year. Business and domes-
tic affairs may present many perpleX-
tiles.
Children born on this day probably
will be alert in mind, energetic and in
dustrious. They may have many dis
appointments in business or profess
SIGNAL ambitions, however.

Sharp Williams of Mississippi are not

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1914.

Astrology reads the stars as most
unfavorable today, since Mars, Saturn
and Mercury are all strongly adverse.
The aspect is inimical to agreements
and contracts of every sort. He who
signs important documents, while this
configuration prevails, probably VIII
sustain severe losses and meet with
great ppointments, the seers de-
clare.
1t is an unlucky time for journeys
upon which business success depends
Changes of location, also, are held as
unfortunate when Mercury is in evil
aspect
Mars gives warning that danger
turks in every indulgence OF emotion
or mood, for under the rule of the
planet as it is placed today the pas
sions are easily awakened and anger
hasty speech and unwise acts are
common Persons born between
March II and April 10 should be espe-
cially cautious.
Saturn is believed to increase any
tendency toward melancholy. DIS
couragement and dependency are
likely to destroy good judgment, and
it is well to delay any matter of i'm
portance until more suspicious gov
eminent of the stars.
There is a sign read as indicative or
illness and death among aged men
and women who have attained proml-
nence. Many accidents will be re-
corded and railway Journeys may be
most unlucky.
American aviators are destined TO
win fame for daring feats within the
next year, but there will be an unprec-
edented loss of life it is predicted.
Saturn still menaces San Francisco,
where strife or fear of conflict with
foreign power will cause unsettled
conditions. Internal discussions may
produce remarkable results in the
coming election. Growth of popuia-
ton for California is presaged by the
stars.
Persons whose birthdate it is should
pass a quiet year, attending strictly
to business and domestic affairs.
Change is likely to be unlucky.
Children born on this day may be
exacting in nature and difficult to
manage. They may be opinionated
| and severe In their judgments of other
persons. Boys should be shrewd in
business matters, ambitious and fairly
successful Mars is their principal
| ruling planet.
