SATURDAY, DECEMBER y.

Saturn. Venus and Uranus rule
for good today. while Mercury is
strongly adverse.
At the beginning of this winter
quarter with the entry of the Sun
into the sign of Capricorn. Mercury
is in a place that is held good for
trade and large enterprises. al
though it betokens discomfort
among the workers.
Venus in the ascendant in oppo-
sition to Saturn is held to indicate
many scandals and increase of d.
vorce.
The signs are very encouraging
for theatrical and educational af-
fairs. The malefics of the seventh
house are read by London astrolo-
gers as presaging obstacles in the
way of a peace of early date.
Mars in the tenth house at Wash
ington. in trine to Mercury. is rath-
er menacing, but Jupiter in the
eleventh house indicates prosperity
and possibly peace.
Today should be most favorable
for all love affairs, since both Venus
and Uranus are friendly.
1t should be unusually fortunate
for theatrical entertainments OF
every sort and for both actors and
actresses.
There should be care about pub
licity under this sway, especially
when it concerns persons, as it may
overreach the mark.
Luck will not attend contracts
made this day. the seers declare.
Newspapers come under a rule
making for intense business activ-
ity, that may bring consultations
and changes.
Boston is warned that a big fire
may destroy a large area, and fire
is likely also to cause heavy loss in
or near Washington.
Children will occupy scientific at
tention and health problems will be
much discussed.
Hospitals continue under a gov
eminent of the stars that will cause
expansion and large endowments.
Women of wealth will bestow
great gifts on the navy and army
it is prophesied.
Persons whose birth date it Is
have the augury Of a rather favor
able year, but they should be care
full about all writings. The young
will court and marry.
Children born on this day may
have many obstacles that they will
overcome. These subjects Of Cap.
ricorn usually rise rapidly in any
profession, but they are likely e
be unlucky in love.

FEDERAL FARM LOANS.

We understand that some farmers in this vicinity wish to organize a farm loan association for the purpose of securing loans under the recent federal farm loan act. In order to do this it will be necessary for, at least, ten citizens to form an associa- tion in which there shall be applica- tions to borrow not less than S2O,OOO. Ten is the lowest number that can organize themselves into an associa- ton and as many more can join it as may want loans, but less than ten cannot organize and they must apply to borrow not less than $20,000 They are required to have a meeting, pre- pare certificates, subscribe to stock for not less than per cent of the amount of the loan they may want, and this application is sent to the Federal Farm Bank for the district and a charter is then issued. The rate of interest to be paid shall not exceed 6 per cent and the debt may be repaid at any time after five years or it may run as long as twenty years.
 Appraisements are made by a com mittee of the local association but no loans are made upon these appraise- ments until the land is again ap- praised by an officer of the district bank
 If it is thought best to have meet ing for the purpose of organizing such an association at this place, this paper will take pleasure in giving the meeting the necessary publicity.
