HOROSCOPE
TUESDAY, APRIL -. 1919.

/ THIS is not an important day in
l the ruling OF the planets, accord
ling to astrology- Uranus. Neptune and
Venus are all mildly adverse.
During this sway the influence is
one Of uncertainty that is likely to
cause foreboding and misgiving and
for this reason a positive attitude Of
mind should be cultivated.
Under this planetary government
men OF millions are much more ex-
posed TO loss and inclined to retrench-
ment than wage-earners-
While this configuration prevails
gossip and even ISLANDERS are sup
posed to be encouraged Rumors viii
multiply and warning is given to safe
guard the consciousness against evil
propaganda.
Women may be inclined toward self
ISL ambitions under this direction Of
the stars, which is supposed TO in
crease their desire for money and for
admiration or power.
In this new era the Impetus toward
spiritual inquiry viii be offset by a
craving for material pleasures. Wom-
en- may be extremely susceptible TO
this influence.
Neptune and Uranus are in an
aspect supposed to make the mind
unusually susceptible to sinister sug-
gestion- For this reason the idea Of
disease should not be presented con-
stantly in the press.
Today is not a lucky time for be-
ginning journeys and is especially un-
favorable for trips made with BUSH
ness aims
II is not an suspicious government
Of the stars under which to be mar
ried.
Uranus foreshadows great political
strife in which there are party
schisms. Women will play a principal
part in some sensation
One Of the signs Of the times is said
10 be an inclination to talk TOO much
boastfulness being encouraged by the
posting OF the stars.
Farmers may have unusual labor
troubles in the coming months and
drastic measures to insure help may
be asked Of the government.
Secret meetings. plotting and Sc
ditious writing are believed TO be en-
couraged by the stars today. Vigilance
should be unremitting wherever it is
necessary to be WatchfuL
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is have
the augury Of success during the COM
ing year. Much pleasure and many
new friends are denoted.
Children born on this day are likely
TO be original and inventive. These
subjects OF Taurus are likely 70 have
eventful uves.-Copyrigh 1913, by

INNOCENT ARE THE SUFFERERS


New York.-The inner philosophy Of
the buccaneer oil promotion company
in the business Of selling stocks in
stead Of oil is neatly exposed in a
confidential" letter received the other
day by reputable New York Stock
Exchange firm, says the New York
Sun. The writer. an oflicer Of q here

taking corporation, was trying to get q
New York broker to put out its securi-
ties, and obviously thought he was ad-
dressing firIn OF traders as shady as
himself.
You know" he wrote, "the heavy
cost II in finding new clients. Your
profit Is made in selling them repeated
~ the same stock as the dividend and
price advance
He then offered to pay commission
Of - Is per cent. under which agree
ment 81 Of every s. paid by the In
weston would stV in the hands Of the
stock peddler. The generous "oil" man
continued:
.The price Of the stock is e q share.
II will be advanced to $2.25 within the
next 80 days. after which It will be
gradually raised to 8. These addi-
tional raises are the best methods
known to sell stock to clients."
Shares Are vaiuslses.
The stock had no value; there was
nothing behind 1t. The price was an
arbitrary figure nxed by the company.
The proposed raises would have been
arbitrary. II buyer had tried to sell
the company would not have bought
the stun back at any price. The COM
pany was merely intent on getting a
broker to go shares with 1t in kidding
the public into snatching at the securi-
ties by "the best methods known to
sell stock to clients" Reputable
brokers do not even answer such let
tiers. Nor will they allow their Gus
toners to buy stocks which have the
faintest odor Of trickery II they can
prevent It. The other day a man who
lives in a suburb Of New York got
hot tip on a new oil stock recently in
troduced on the curb but not listed. He
hustled into town and asked broker
whom he knew to buy 800 shares.
Cant do it," seid the broker.
~ thought you could br: anything"
said the commuter.
Certainly I can buy anything. but I
shall have to decline to take your or

thing positive about the company. but
II looks bad to me because 1 do know

CROOKED BROKERS

information" about the stock. He
found another broker and purchased
the 500 shares. That afternoon 1t
went up" nearly a point, which Is a
lot for a low-priced curb security. and
the suburbanite tried to take his quick
profit. His new broker, however. was
unable to get q bid at the new price.
In fact he couldn't get any bid At all,
although the curb continued to quote
the high figure.
The buyer Of the 500 shares still had
them recently and judging by the ex-
periences Of others with oil companies
of the same stripe they eventually will

London, June 16.-Capt. John Al

their vickers-Vimy biplane, landed at
Clifden, Ireland, completing the first
nonstop airplane flight across the At

made at o 40 O'Clock, British summer
time, Sunday In taking the ground
the machine struck heavily and the
fuselage ploughed into the sand
Neither Of the occupants was injured
Much of the flight was made through
a fog, with an occasional drizzle. This
hampered the airmen considerably.
Captain Alcock explained the 81
lence of his radio instrument during
the trip by saying that the wireless
propeller blew off soon after the air
plane left Newfoundland.

wireless signals not intended for US, J"

When word was received here Of
the accident to the machine in land
ing, arrangements were made for me-
chanics to leave London Immediately
to make repairs.
Word came from Clifden that the
pilot and navigator Of the biplane were
leaving for Galway. whence Leuten-
ant Brown planned to travel by train
to London.
Captain Alcock, however, hoped to
be able to fly to London In the ma

as soon as it could be repaired. 1t

The Aero Club received a message
from Clifden not long after the trans
atlantic filters landed, signed by them.
which merely stated that they had
completed the flight in sixteen hours
and twelve minutes. They requested
instructions from the club.
In reply the club telegraphed Cap
tain Alcock: Keep machine intact

marks were put on the airplane ut

that it was probable one of Its Of

LONG-TERM CONTRACT
HELPS FRUIT GROWERS
Fer Of Five Year Price Guarantee
Gives Impetus To Lynden's Berry
Industry

The Offering Of five-year contract
at an assured price to growers by
the Lynden Cannery is bringing a
bout big increase in the amount
of acreage in the Lynden district that
is planted to berries.
Neve before have the growers had
sure market, and the business was
a gamble to a certain extent. For a
number of years, owners of berry
patches met losses, with the result
that several big tracts were rooted
out
The generous prices paid last year
by the cannery, together with the ad-
ced bonus disti ;buted on Valentines
Day, are bringing about an increased
interest in the berry industry. Lyn-
can grow the finest berries in the
country, and the five-year contract
plan offered by the Cannory is prov
ing a big inducement to the farmers
to start patches of the fruit again.
