Although Neptune Is in beneflc as
pect. according to astrology, this is
not a fortunate day, for h u and
Mercury are adverse.
Under Pisces, the sign that rules
this part of the month, natives are
likely to be exceedingly m~ethodical,
logical and mathematical, and these
traits marked the character of George
Washington, born on this date.
In this year of 1920 the signs seem
to be most promising for ultimate ma
tional development, but within the
twelve month many sensational events
will take place.
On this day Neptune is in a place
believed to encourage vision and to
assure wise action based on foresight.
While the stars favor those who
dare to make great ventures, they
, must risk opposition from men in high
office.
During this planetary rule evil re-
ports concerning men and nations are
to be expected in the public prints.
1t is a most sinister aspect for can
didates for office or for men ana
| women with large ambitions in any
direction.
Fo all who seek employment the
configuration Is most discouraging.
| They should not put fate to the test
until conditions change.
All who would sign contracts or en-
ter into any sort of business agree
ment delay Is counseled.
The rise to power and prosperity of
new publishers is indicated. This Is
interpreted to mean that printers Of
books, as we'll as printers of newspa-
pers, will benefit.
In accordance with the prohecy
that numbers OF celebrated men and
women would pass with the close of
the old era. many deaths of distin-
' guished men and women are forecast
for 1920. In this representation
length of fame more than length of
life Is estimated.
The seers that foretell that new
leaders will rise for new occasions de-
clare that power will not remain with
those who represent old contests OF
ideas.
Persons whose birth late II is may
meet many problems in the coming
year. They will succeed II they are
painstaking and discreet.
> Children born on this day are likely
to be very quick and intelligent. Thes
subjects of Pisces usually desire
change and recreation.

FORCING THE ISSUE.

Governor Edwards is said to be de
termined to force the hand of the
Republicans in the legislature on the
beer bill. The governor II is known,
stands for q 4 per cent, product. IT
is announced that he has decided TO
withhold all appointments for the
time being as n whip over the heads
of the legislators in forcing through
the measure as he wants it.
The Republican majority, still
wavering and straddling, not knowing
where they stand, are showing signs
of becoming panic-stricken. In an
effort to head off the progress Cover
nor Edwards is making in his wet
legislators the Republicans introduce
ed a bill providing for the manufac-
ture OF beer containing 2.75 per cent,
alcohol. This, apparently is an at
tempt to compromise between the
Volstead law of the federal govern
ment limiting the alcohol to one-half
of one per cent. and the Edwards
bill which would permit 4 per cent,
