Trading of every sort should be

Farmers are subject to the best
possible leadings and should benefit

dispose of produce.
Mines have the prognostication Of
large profits and unusual develop
ment to meet new needs of the
world. They may suffer loss
through labor troubles. however.
While this confguration rules
foresight is supposed to be very

vision during this planetary sway.
Mars gives good cheer today TO
soldiers and seems TO promise for
them safety in victory.
This should be a lucky day for

Italy has a slightly sinister sign
