HOROSCOPE.
Monday, August ~, 1917.

Good and bad are in the balance
today, according to astrology. IRA
nus rules strongly for good. while
Mercury Is adverse.
All the conditions are good for avi-
alton, which will bring large benefits
and in which great progress will be
made.
Uranus continues to presage a gen.
eral acceptance of spiritualistic phe-
nomena, which will be mentioned in
leading periodicals and even will find
a place in literary productions of
first rank.
Inventions OF every sort are sub
Ject to the best possible direction
and announcement of an American
success as astonishing as wireless
telegraphy is prophesied.
The influences that aid creative
ideas are likely 10 affect many per-
sons so that they suffer from nerves
and irritability.
Increase of the number of suicides
is foretold and this may become
alarming in the fall when the mania
for self-destruction may affect young
men.
Actors and actresses are warned not
to sign contracts under this rule,
which also affects musicians and
painters.
There Is sign read as indicating
some unusual condition which news
papers and magazines will confront
in a short time, owing to a phase
of the war not In any way connected
with censorship.
The far west and extreme east
come under a planetary government
believed to be most favorable for
theatrical matters.
Colleges and schools have the fore
cast of great achievements in public
service and despite the war will have
large attendance.
Diplomatic honors for a university
head, are foretold.
Persons whose birth date 1t is may
have rather an unsettled year. Travel
and changes are forecast.
Children born on this day may be
inclined to be restless and discon-
tented. These subjects may have
too much Imagination and may bc
inclined to be untruthful.

GOVERNMENT IN
NATION WIDE FIGHT
TOCUT BREAD COST
Washington Conspiracy lndict-
mentS are Beginning of
the Federal Crusade.

WASHINGTON, July IA Federal
Grand Jury herS has returned in
dictments against four men said to be
agents OF two leading baking COM
panies and one grocer on charges Of
conspiracy TO hold the retail price OF
bread at 10 cents a loaf. The agents
are also charged with having con-
spired TO decline to sell their product
TO a grocer who desired 70 retail bread
at cents a loaf.
This Is believed TO be only the be-
ginning OF a widespread investigation
by the Department OF Justice and the
Federal Courts in an effort TO compel
the big baking companies to reduce
the cost of bread as the price OF flour
goes down.
Lower prices for chickens the year
around was the object OF a conference
held at the Bureau of Markets, De-
partment Of Agriculture, to-day. Rep
resentatives OF the frozen poultry in
dustry from all parts OF the country
were in attendance.
They urged that farmers be asked
10 hold their chickens until they weigh
from three 20 four pounds instead of
selling them as 'springers" With an
average weight of one pound. This,
II was pointed out, would hold back
the farmers supply while tho cold
storage surplus was being placed on
the market. The poultrymen evinced
disposition to sell OFF their Surplus
in such quantities that speculators
cannot get hold OF 1t and store 1t.
Retailers are said TO be largely re-
sponsible for the present high price Of
poultry, according to facts developed
in the conference. The wholesale
price now is 8 cents less than at this
time last year, but the average re-
taller has made no reduction and is
much more responsive to market
changes when the price goes up than
when II goes down.
Figures worked out by an expert
government statisticlan and made
public to-day indicate that from IT,
$4,000 TO 34.7S3.000 persons could
have been scientifically fed for one
year on the total amount OF food
Btuffs exported from the United States
between July /, 1916. and April 1, 1917
Comparison OF the wholesale price
of flour in the United States and Eng
land for three years shows that, while
the English Wholesale price was some
what higher in 1916. the American
price was markedly higher in 1917
and slightly higher In 1915.

MAY LIST ALL MEN
ELIGIBLE To DRAFT
IN REGULAR ORDER
AT Least $4,000 to Be Called
AT Once-Unique Method
for Drawing Names.

WASHINGTON. July 7.-orEani-
Eatlon Of local exemption boards
throughout the country is being
rushed TO completion. Eight States
telegraphed news OF their complete
organizations to-day.
No decision has been announced on
the number OF men to be examined.
The ranks Of the National Guard and
the Regular Army are to be filled to
war strength first by draft This will
take 100000 or more men. After this
the 100000 men for the first army.
with $4,000 reserves, will be drawn.
Indications are that the drawing
will be held next week. But no Official
statement has been made as to the
time. Various ways Of making the
draft as fair as human ingenuity can
eOntrive have been suggested. The
matter has had President Wilson's
personal consideration, in line with
his pledge that the method employed
would be Just in every respect.
A little square Of paper in q gslstine
capsule will hold the fate Of every
man in the draft. Members OF the
Provost Marshal Generals stan have
been busy stamping n series OF mum
bers on sheets OF paper in half-inch
squares. Each square of paper will
bear a number.
Sets OF these figures will be made
up, and each series will run UP TO the
numeral 5000. When each local divi
sion sends a copy Of It's list to Wash
ington IL will be examined to see how
many eliglbles Il contains. That
number OF squares, marked with mum
bers corresponding TO the names on
the list. will be put into capsules and
thrown into a oontainer. probably -
glass globe.

already been designated TO draw the
names from the eontainer. Reports
that ono number would be drawn from

The War Department has given NO

followed. but those close in touch
with the situation here believe tina
