VIEWS OF JAPAN
AT COVENANT Church
Miss McQuown. from the Orient, to
Lecture Tonight.

Stereopticon views OF Japan from
an unusual collection will be shown
at the Church OF the Covenant to-
night at s o'clock, with Miss Nc
Quown, a visitor from the Orient,
as the lecturer. There will be no
admission. but a silver Offering will
be taken to aid in the work OF the
League of the Covenant. Refresh
ments will be on sale and the Cow
cnant Orchestra will contribute mu-
steal numbers to the program.
Believing that the coming gen
Grafton in America should be taken
care of. the ladies Of the Church
OF the Covenant have organized a
league which has employed a nurse
to visit the needy and administer to
the wants of mothers and infants.
Feeling that the war will naturally
cause a decrease in population, the
league has made every arrangement
to help poor and needy infants.
This organization is kept up by
contributions, so an appeal is sent
out to all to participate in the war
work by helping the League of the
Covenant TO do their bit"

HOROSCOPE.
Friday, March -, 1918.

This is an uncertain day. accord
ing to astrology, and care should be
used in all important moves. Although
Jupiter is friendly. Mars and Saturn
are adverse
The planets presage immense profits
for many men, who will later be called
to account. Among them will be per-
sons who carry national responsible
ties. This forecast has no connection
with any disclosures heretofore made,
the seers declare.
. Saturn again bodies i'll for the prod
ucts of the earth. Some condition
unfortunate for agriculture is indi-
Gated.
Floods again are foreshadowed A
city will lose much property in the
coming weeks, astrologers declare.
Mars indicates losses in the Ameri-
can ranks, which will be severe, but
the stars promise that supreme hero
isms and superb achievements will be
recorded.
According to astrology, an extraordi-
nary fame for Americans will be won
in France where Yankee luck will be-
come proverbial.
Mars today is in a place that seems
to presage many jealousies among
army officers and much discomfort
that may have a political influence.
Scandals are foretold.
, Riots and labor troubles are prog
nosticated for the entire spring, but
these will be adjusted after plots have
been uncovered.
Persistently the seers declare that
'in places of the Sun" enemies are
at work, which means that traitors
may be found in high positions in the
United States government.
Congress comes under a direction
making for anxiety, many acrimonious
discussions and numerous record
making events. A sensational occur
renee will disturb the Senate next
month.
Persons whose birthdate. it is have
the augury of a fairly successful
year. Money viii increase, but friends
may prove false.
Children born on this day will be
popular and generous. but discontent-
ed and visionary. in all probability.
