WHATS THE

Henry Ford in his international
wee',lv. The Dearborn I%ndepend-
ent," takes a fling at both the old
parties because of the kind of a
platform they have adopted and
the calibre of men nominated. Ford
asks, Twill Americans stand for
it?"
We are inclined to believe that
they will have to. Ford himself
admits that the third party idea
will not solve the problem of get
ting the kind of government the
people want. But If we cannot have
the two old parties run as we would
like to have them. and If we can
not look to a third party to supply
the remedy. what are we to look
to?
Mr.. Ford suggests a citizens
movement with a citizens candi-
date. But there is a convention
now being held in Chicago called by
a self-appointed Committee of As"
to nominate a ticket that is sup
posed to fill the want of those who
cannot support either of the old
party candidates or the platforms
they have drawn up. Ford, how
repudiates a third party"
movement. IF the people want a
cleanup" he says. they u act
at once. they must act deliberately,
they must act without reference to
the precedents set by the discredit-
ed parties, and they must act with
4 confidence in their supreme o n
troll over all their affairs"
But just how the people r to
act at once and accomplish all
these things yet remains to be set

that Ford's weekly has started; the

Contending influences rule this
day. according to a~strology. Early
In the morning Jupiter is in strong
ly benefc aspect and later Mercury
grows kindly. but Mars is in evil
place.
All wei established professional
and business men should profit by
the planetary government which is
held to give impetus to,what Is well
started.
Advertising Is subject to an es-
pecially favorable sway and should
be peculiarly lucky for trade and
commerce.
Publicity continues to be under
a direction of the stars so marked
that its symbol is said to be that of
a serpent swallowing its own tail,
which is interpreted to mean that
it's popularity will cause it to be
overdone.
Mars threatens some sort of dis
turbance that calls for arms. Riots
are probable and uprisings in which
there is bloodshed.
The seers declare that until men
cease to forget that all were born
free and equal unrest will prevail In
every country of the world.
New prophets who will preach
peace that is founded on universal
brotherhood are foretold, but they
may meet with severe condemnation
and be numbered with radicals.
Before the war the appearance of
bankers who could not be recog-
nized was foretold and 1t is now
declared by the seers that these
messengers are at work in the great
cities.
Cabinet members are subject to
influences making for severe criti-
cisms from the people. for Mercury
still rules the tenth. indicating dis
agreements concerning policies.
Dissatisfaction among working
women who may not be in sympa-
thy with benefits bestowed upon
them may be manifested at this
time.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is

ercise. Business affairs may pros
per with strict attention.
Children born On this day may be

With the Moon as a principal ruler

Patten is just voicing his own
opinions. What are they worth?
Is he right or is he wrong?
Well. Patten is sixty-eight years
OF age and has reached the period
of life when he carefully weighs
what he says.
Moreover. Patten is a wealthy
man and he made his money by
being able to %outgrcF. n
man on the very thing on which he
is talking, namely. food prices.
Patten achieved fame as a wheat

Belgium has the advantage in be-

things from all the. countries sur

seem good wages, probably three
times those before the war, but their
living expenAes have advanced even
more They are so loyal to Belgium
and so glad to be again going without
the invader, that there is little I'M
rest. The labor efficiency was hurt,
some by the government regulation
against piece work The hours have
been shortened to eight and they are
tufning out about 70 per cent of what
they did in day before the war
