Jack Sprat turned around quickly,

Saturday, July 20, 1919.

Saturday, July 20, 1919.
Good and evil contend for power today,
when Saturn and Jupiter are adverse
and Mars, Venus and the Sun friendly.
1t is fortunate rule for military men,
especially for officers and those who
guide the fortunes Of war.
Commercial interests are subject to
doubtful conditions, supply and demand
being unbalanced, so far as certain COM
mOdities are concerned.
Ihere is lucky sway for all who make
plans dependent on the power of men of
affairs, whether in the business, politi-
cal or social world.
Women have an encouraging guidance
today. They should make the most of all
opportunities, especially those that are
offered from persons in high place. 1t
is an ausptcious rule for promotions and
benefits arising from the results OF hard
work.
The stars continue to frown on the aged
The new era will make demands on the
young and progressive, who will push
aside those who have enjoyed public al
legiance.
Late today the seers foresee that the
influence of the eclipse Of the Sun, which
takes place on this date, will be felt
While this eclipse will affect Australia
chiefly, presag ging divers troubles. It is
United States, i'll health for the King OF
Italy, bereavement for the King of Eng
land and reverses for the Emperor of
Germany.
This sinister power OF the planets will
be felt during the autumn when all the
peoples Of the world are likely to ex-
perience many things conducive to sad
and serious thought.
Although many prophecies are dis
couraging, astrologers assure US that a
balance will be struck and that intel
lectual enlightenment and spiritual
growth will compensate for grief and suf-
fering in the great sum of human expert
ence
The breaking down of social lines, long
predicted, will be more apparent during
the winter than in previous months.
Fame and a new recognition of the i'm
portance of progressive members of the
negro race are prognosticated. High DO
sition for a colored hero is foretold.
Persons whose birthdate it Is should
avoid speculation and watch their fnan-
citl interests.
Children born on this day will be clever
and talented, but business sense should
be insttlled into these subjects of Leo.

STATE BUYS sPUDs AND RICE.
Potatoes for State Institutions Cost
S1.25 Per Bushei.

Contracts were awarded by the
state board of control last week for
10000 pounds OF rice and 10000
bushels Of potatoes to be used in the
state institutions during the next six
months. The two contracts call for
an expenditure OF over $4,000.
The Whea ley Rice mill of Wheat
ley, Ark, secured the rice contract
on bid of 4.37 cents a pound. This
IS practically the same price as quot
ed year ago, except that the mill
will supply a better grade of rice for
the money, according to Harry
Shropshire, purchasing agent for the
state board. The rice is the Arkan-
sas product known as the fancy blue
rose.
The contract for 10000 bushels of
potatoes was let to G.. NJ. Ross & Co..
of Grinnell, at $I23 to $1.25 a bush
ell, western potatoes will be furnish
ed. One other Iowa firm had sub
mitted the lowest bid to supply in
stitutions at Clarinda and Marshall
town, but before the contracts were
gned, notice of an advance in the
wholesale price of potatoes, caused a
withdrawal Of the proposal. This left
the field entirely open to Ross.
