Astrologers read this a. an unim-
portant day. While Jupiter is in ben
etc aspect, Mars Is strongly adverse.
1t is a favorable rule under which
to make big plans that concern bust
ness or commerce, for the influence
of the stars Is supposed to encourage
wise foresight and practical decisions.
Education has the best sort of a
direction while this configuration
prevails. Benefits for teachers and
honors for university men are prog
~nostieated.
Access of honor for teachers and
increase of pay, long feretold, will
mark the new year.
Diplomacy has the most promising
ruling of the planets today. State Sc
crets will be revealed and public
commentator Of policies won, the
seers assert.
Mars is in a most threatening place
today and there may be rumors of
military operations in which the
United States must take q dominant
part. There is, however, no imme-
date danger of any use of arms, if
the stars are read Alright.
Hospitals are subject to a sway
that seems to presage great need of
money and demand for increased IA
~cilities.
There is a sign said to be forbid
ding to the political ambitions of any
army officer distinguished in the re-
cent war.
Contracts, especially those that
have to do with engineering Or con-
struction, are subject to unfavorable
influences today and it may be un-
lucky to sign them.
Writers may find the conditions
difficult today, for it is p~rophesied
that new standards in literature have
been established by war experiences.
Changes in newspaper management
and the establishment of new dailieS
seem to be foreshadowed. One of
these will gain great national inlu-
ence.
Gated and more girls than boys will
be born
Benefits for the negro, race are
presaged and q new leader will arise
among them.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is

exceedingly unlucky In the coming
year. Those who are employed should
make the most Of their opportunities.
Children born on this day may be
hasty and impulsive, but kind and
generous. These subjects of Libra
usually have foresight and a love Of
justice.

BEATING THE COST
BY WALT MASON

Next year I'll rent q patch of
ground, and plant string beans and
morning glories, and laugh when
neighbors come around with profiteer
and hard luck stories. To old time
methods let's get closer, let's try our
fathers thrifty plans, and quit this
chasing to the grocer to buy our
provender in cans When I was
young, in distant ages, our garden
was a sight to see, with succotash and
pea-green cages, and cabbage-heads
in groups Of three; and pumpkin
vines grew on a ~trellis, and squashes
glimmered, golden bright, until the
neighbors all grew Jealous, and stole
our melons In the night. And all the
year we lived like princes on garden
sass we raised ourselves, and always
had reserves Of ounces, and egg
plants on the larder shelves. In Fall
with spuds we filed the cellar, we
killed a pig and smoked the hams,
and for the proiteering Teller we
didn't care three sultry boots. And
now we never think of rearing O
spud. q pumpkin or a prune, but to
the grocer go careering, and blow
with him our last doubloon. Oh, let's
get back to old time cases and raise
the slaw and things we eat, and show
we're sane, and save our faces, and
beat the High Cost and repeat.

Dailu Sermonette

You'll never be an angel-that's
settled, no matter how good you may
have been.
They used to sing about wings and
other things hat angels are supposed
to have, and the famous painters Of
a couple of hundred years ago pic
tured saints with wings, but there's
positively no guarantee given in the
Bible that we're going to look or act
or be like angels when we reach the
glory land.
Angels are different from saints
saints being all those who will get
to heaven. In heaven everybody is a
saint There'H be no monopoly to the
title there.
Angels are a separate order Of be-
ings. Here r some of the teachings
in the Bible about them:
They are created beings.
They are greater than man.
They are mighty and have great
power.
They neither marry nor die.
They have great knowledge but
are no omniscient.
They are not to be worshipped.
They are glorious In their appear
ance.
There are orders or ranks Of an
gels.
ivy L oOilClIlhCo curry VI Sill
They shall be judged by believers.
They are sometimes seen of men.
They are i~nnumerable.
Their home is in heaven.
They minister to Gods children on
earth.
They keep those who put their trust
In God.
They cheer Gods servants in the
hour of trial.
They carry departed saints home.
They will gather out of Gods king
dom-at the end OF the age-all
things that cause stumbling and in
EQUITY. severing the wicked from the
No-you won't be an angel in hea-
ven-youll be something better than
angel.
This is plainly the teaching Of the
word of God.
What SHALL we be like? "It doth
not yet appear what we shall be, but
we know that when He shall appear,
we shall be like Him."
Well be like God Himself.

HOPE FOR FORESTS

1t is encouraging to note, that something has been started,
at least, to save from extinction the timber resources of the
United States.
The lumber industry is the third largest in this country.
About one-fourth of our original forest wealth remains. THE
NEW GROWTH is ONLY o%NE-THIRD OF THE AMOUNT CUT
EVERY YEAR,
No mathematical genius is required to see the finish. For
est products are indispensable in almost every industry. Trees
are needed for a long list of necessities, from print paper to
wagons, from lead pencils to airplanes. High cost Of lumber
means high cost of all these commodities.
Action is promised through the efforts of the American
Forestry Association, which is gathering material to formu-
late a policy of governmental supervision of the lumber In
dustry. The business reasons for conserving forests are max
ing themselves felt. In this case 1t is cheering to remember
that business usually gets hat goes aftars-

NEW HOME FOR K. OF C.

San Salvador Council, knights of Columbus, are to be
Congratulated upon the acquisition of a beautiful new home in
Me purchase of the Warren House in High street. The prop
crty is, without a doubt, one of the most desirable in the city
and it is admirably adapted to club purposes. When the
knights have finished their alterations there Is no question
state.
The knights of Columbus have grown rapidly since the
starting of a council in this community and they now have one
of the most prosperous organizations in the city. The promi-
nent part taken by the X. of G. in war work has brought the
Order into prominence as never before and the prestige thus
gained is being easily upheld by its activities during the recon
struction period. Already a most influential body here, its i'm
portance is going to be greatly augmented by the added facili-
lies and attractions that the new purchase will give it.

Luke McLuke Says.

After they have been-married ten
years or so a wife wonders why her
husband doesn't make more mistakes
than he does.
After giving the news of the day the
once over a man gets the impression
that most of the NUTS who can't be
muzzled ought to be.
The man who Is a combined con-
sumer and taxpayer ought to be able
to take a joke by this time. Most of
he jokes are on him.
II one half the world doesn't know
how the other half lives it isn't be-
cause 1t doesn't put in half it's time
nosing around and trying to find out.
A Perfect husband would be one
who is 100 per cent more polite to his
W wife than he Is to some other
mans wife. And there amt no SIGH
animal.
The reason why a wife gets sick of
having her husband constantly kissing
her and calling her Honey" is be-
cause she would rather get materials
for her new hat at the 10-cent store
thai pay SIS for 1t ready made.
Experiments with boy babies and
girl babies show that girl babies learn
to talk first. And about twenty years
later they learn to talk last.
In spite of all the patent medicine
advertisements promised you, the fact
Is that nothing VIII help o as much
as taking are of yourself.
The difference between a prize
fight and a marriage Is hat in the
case of the prize fight the fussing is
all ove in about an hour.
Why is 1t that a nan will gah
about his Principles all year and ther
won't vote for them on election day
A wife Is a pretty decent scout. II
her husband gives her a dollar to
spend on herself she'll pretend to the
neighbors that 1t is $500.
Every time YOU knock a man to a
girl o merely cinch her determina-
ton to marry him.
Every wife tells every husband
that he ought to help around the
house like other husbands do.
A man Is never afraid of having
his pants wrinkled If a girl wants K
sit on his knee In a crowded automo-
bile the way he Is If a man wants
to sit on his knee.
Men are all alike in thai they nevel
worry over saving time until they dil
cover that they haven't much Tins

THE PRESIDENTS N

Only the most narrow-minded, petty parhsans will gel
any satisfaction out Of the illness Of President Wilson, causing
hin to abandon his tour in behalf of the League Of Nations
That the President is earnest and sincere there is no doubt. He
sees in the League Of Nations the only hope we have for adj
vancing our present civilization. He has given his energy I'M
stintingly to the success of the league; he has devoted his mind
and genius to this cause almost to the exclusion of everything
else and the strain has been too much for him. 1t is crafty
ing to know that the illness is not serious and there is every
reason to accept the statement of his physician that a genuine
rest will bring about a restoration Of health.
President Wilson has hardly taken a vacation since he has
been in office. Immediately after his inauguration for his first
term he convened congress in special. session and within a few
months he had put across legislation that had been pending for
years, the most important of which was tn reorganization of
the country's monetary system. Congress remained in ses-
sion almost continuously for two years. The war came with
all its complications adding greatly to the burdens of the Pres
ident. Then the United States entered the war and the strain
was greatly increased. Following the armishce the great bat
tie of wits and brains took place at Versailles in which the
President played a prominent part. In fact, he was the center
of interest, peoples of all races and nationalities looking to him
for relief and succor.
In addition to all this was the bitter partisan fight that de-
veloped at home, adding to the strain rather than assisting him
in the great work he was doing for humanity and civilization.
Upon returning home he plunged into the struggle harder than
ever and then finally undertook the Swing around the circle
during which he travelled over 5000 miles and made forty.
speeches before the breakdown came. The only surprising
thing is that he was able to keep it up so long.
1t will take another generation to really appreciate the
wonderful work accomplished by Woodrow Wilson, but even
today the people are beginning to more and more realize the
true meaning of his achievement. Without the combined
strength Of the civilized nations as represented in the League
Of Nations the President sees all kinds of wars and interna-
tional quarrels for years to come. Already the dark cloud is
threatening in the Adriatic between the Italians and the Jugo-
-slays. These things cannot help but prey upon the Presidents
mind as he battles for the adoption of the only means that has
any chance at all of preventing another upheaval.
The sympathy Of the nation goes out to the President in
his Illness and all hope for his speedy recovery. With so many
crises all about, both at home and abroad, which the nation
must face, it is of the utmost Importance that the President
seain his health and strength in order to see the fight through.
