HOROSCOPE.
Wednesday, March ~, 1918.

This is day of contradictory in
nuences, according to astrology, and
likely to cause uncertainty and indeci-
sion Neptune, Jupiter and Saturn are
all in benefic aspect. while the Sun
and Mars are adverse.
All the signs seem to indicate that
dominion over naval conditions will
be gained and that on the high seas
the United States will be victorious
after few serious reverses and heavy
losses.
IL the panets are read Alright sue
cess will be attained through new in
Ventions as well as by means Of grow
ing naval strength.
The seers predict that the unfore-
seen will take place and that the war
will present new problems and take
unexpected turns as startling as what
has happened in Russia.
Today should be very favorable for
initiative in business affairs, as what
ever concerns finance or commerce Is
well directed.
1t should be a fortunate rule for
manufacturers who have the forecast
of great gains through small things
within the year. This is interpreted
to mean that many necessaries of tri-
fling value will bring profit.
Mines and minerals have the best
possible sway. Arizona. Montana and
California beneftting greatly during
this configuration.
The old have a kindly government
today. making for patience, hope and
generosity. 1t is a good aspect for
the making Of wills and the bestowal
of benefits.
Agriculturists should profit from
conditions that will develop in the
next two weeks, but these are COM
mercial rather than physical, as the
weather may be unfavorable.
Persons whose birthdate it is should
meet with much success in the COM
ing year. Money should increase.
while troubles multiply in the family
circle.
Children born on this day are likely
to be steady, industrious and generous
These subjects of Aries usually are in
elined to be proud and dictatorial,

Cormick, of Illinois:
Explains System.
THE old system (of publishing the
date of the casualties) enabled the
Germans to get exactly what effect
was produced upon our troops In a
raid Of that date. The publication of
the emergency addresses also brought
down upon the relatives a swarm of
claim agents who guaranteed that
they would get from the government
the War Risk Insurance, which Is
guaranteed by law to the proper in
heritor; and, in spite of the fact that
the department has in each case ad-
vised the nearest relatives that their
claims will be adjusted by the gov
ernment. and that they will be fur
nished the money that Is due them
without the interposition of claim
agents. numbers OF poor people have
yielded to the opportunities of these
agents, and are thereby deprived of a
portion Of what is justly their due.

pose Of capturing one soldier. IL pos
