ONCE-OVERS
ARE YOU An IMPORTANT NlAN2

Every man holding an important
position in an office is a busy man.
If he were not 70 he busy he
would not have the position he nils
There is a demand for every min
ute Of his time.
Perhaps he spent considerable
time last night after office hours
figuring just how he might expedite
matters today and accomplish more
than usual.
Your prolonged visit is going to
cause him to run off that schedule
for the entire day, and the time and
thought he gave last night are vast
ed by your thoughtlessness.
A business office Is not a place TO
visit.
It is not the place TO tell funny
stories
Every person admitted. including
the office force. should transact his
or her business as quickly as pos
STOLE and depart
Because you are often out of
town does not give you the right to
take up the time of a busy man
whom you call on during business
hours.
He may try 70 be courteous y,
not impose on his good nature.
Every day is d business mans
busy day. BE brief and to the point.

HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY. OCT. 1S.

This is not an important day in
planetary direction, although Mer-
curry rules strongly for good.
Il should be very favorable rule
for advertising and all forms Of
publicity
Newspapers and magazines should
enjoy a period Of prosperity, even
though they do not reap large prof
its, for they will DE more than ever
read.
Actresses and singers will do well
to sign contracts on this day. as they
are subject to influence believed to
make for fame and fortune.
It should be a fairly favorable
sway for seeking engagements or po-
sitions as persons in authority are
supposed to be kindly and compre-
bending under this planeery govern
ment.
Mars is in place that gives mild
aid 10 the armies abroad. the seecs
announce
BY this sign il is read that there
will be perhaps two great battles in
which the United States will be rep
resented.
Persistently the stars seem TO in
dictate changes in the presidents
cabinet about the first Of the year.
AS a paradox, in a period when
w4r reduces incomes in thousands OF
families, thrift is 10 flourish and saw
ings are TO increase.
Japan comes under a direction OF
the stars that il believed To augur
extraordinary prosperity and brill
liant success.
Canada should have a fairly pros
porous year in which there will be
many public questions that are dis
turbing.
Negotiations between Canada and
the United States on some problem
affecting the whole continent are
prognosticated.
Rapid growth. long predicted for
many centers Of population. will be
noticeable. The south will benefit
but not permanently through the
army. the seers declare for greater
channels OF prosperity are 20 be
opened
Children corn on this day have
the augury OF success and fame.
Both boys and girls probably viii
hold important positions. Girls may
