conditions may be expected for
the country at large,
Mercury, the planet that is sup
posed to guide journalists, is in an
aspect that promises success. In
this case, however, it is impossible
to forecast which of the presiden-
tial candidates is favored by the
stars.
The prophecy that a younger
man viii dwell in the White House
is made by an astrologer, who
foresees that the league of nations
will have an astonishing effect on
the vote.
This should be a lucky sway for
business affairs of every sort. 1t
is a promising rule under which
to ask favors or to seek support.
All the signs of this day appear
to eliminate the power of women,
whether it be in public or domestic
affairs.
The Moon in Ccnccr gives n more
friendly attitude to enemies, but it
also seems to foreshadow serious
clashes among men of many minds.
The race problem will be much
in the public consciousness at this
time and may reach serious
point. The seers remind men and
women that the law of brotherhood
is strongly accented and will bring
about wider recognition in the new
era.
The winter may be severe in
many ways not associated with the
weather.
All the stars appear to forecast
a period of facing about and gen.
eral reorganization. This applies
to individuals as we'll as groups.
A season of great social gayety
is indicated, and the national CAPT
tia will be more than ever concern
cd with pleasures and amusements.
New York is to undergo many
changes in the coming months, it
is prophesied, and will profit
greatly.
Education is well directed at this
time, for there is to be great in
terest in art and letters, as well
as in practical training for bust
ness life.
Persons whose birthdate it is
will have a fairly satisfactory year,
If they do not speculate.
Children born on this date will
he clever and gifted in many ways.
They should have success in life.
Girls have the forecast of good
fortune in marriage. SCOrpiO is the
sign, and the principal ruling sign
Mars.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Nov. buying on the
part of houses with seahoard con-
nections led to a moderate upturn
in wheat values today after the
market had been depressed during
most of the session. Prices closed
firm at the same as Saturdays fin
ish to 1hc higher, with December
$2.09b to $2.10 and March $2.02
TO $2.02A. Corn closed &c net
lower to sc advance. and oats
varying from Il decline to y %
tx gain. In provisions, the out
come was a rise of lie to S5c.
Wheat showed some strength at
the outset but there was a lack of
sustained support and a. reaction
ensued as a result of a speculative
selling based on talk of liberal re-
ceipts. Export clearances. how
ever, were large and no great de-
sire was shown to press the ceiling
side of the market. Shorts were
quick to reverse their position
when late in the day some signs
of demand from the seaboard APP
peared. On the other hand, eX-
port business was said to total only
only 100000 bushels.
Corn and oats failed to reflect
the rally in wheat. Profit taking
sales on the part of floor traders
counted as bearish factor.
Provisions, although dull. were
higher as a result of an upturn in
the hog market.
Closing prices:
wheat-Dec., $2.o9h; March
S2.n2.
Corn-Dec., S4&c; May, 9OAc.
Oats-Dec., 547c; May, so u c..
Pork-Nov., $23 90; Jan. $25.35.

spring and summer.

want women helpers who will work
ional way, and forget everything but
they enter their place of employment.
IN sec the influence of this feeling in the
LAY in which business women dress. The
fghty kind may try to fascnate their asso-
Iates by sporty dressing. But those who are really
making good cultivate a studious plainness and
neatness and leave fancy frills at home.
Women's entrance in politics seems to work the
same way The woman who tried to advance some
pet project by exercising the destinations of her
would be viewed with great suspicion and her argu-
ments would not count much. The women who
achieve most in politics will put on the business
office manner and will leave social arts to other
times and places. Women are very keen on the
sense of fitness OF things, and they will not make
any inappropriate appearance in the political field.

asked Jackie Bow Wow. HE
promised to meet us here"
And he is coming now" said
Jimmie the duck. But what is he
| carrying on his shoulder"
Along hoped the bunny uncle,
and then the animal boys and girls
saw that he carried lot of tiny
lanterns on poles over his shoulder.
Each lantern had a candle in, but
| they were not yet lighted.
What is going on, Uncle Wig
gily?" asked Toodle Flat Tail, the
beaver boy.
"a torchlight surprise procession
is going on very soon," answered
the bunny. Each of you children
take a torch, and I'll light the cam
dies. We are going to march"

other duck girl.

Murray for Nurse janet" said IN
Gle Wiggily. "She voted for the
first time today. The ladies are the
same as we men voters now, and
| there is no reason why Nurse Jane
shouldn't have a torchlight pro-
cession. SO | got this up as sur
prise for her"
"And we'll all vote for Nurse
janet" cried Jackie.
Then the candles were lighted in
the tin lanterns and holding them
over their shoulders, the animal
children, led by Uncle Wiggily
marched from yonder sassafras
bush to the hollow stump bunga-
| low.
Nurse Jane, after she had voted
went back to sit on the porch and
wait for Uncle Wiggily to come
home for his supper, which was
late. All unknown to the muskra'
lady housekeeper. the bad old Fuz-
zy Fox was hiding in the bushes
near the front gate, waiting tc
grab Uncle Wiggily when he
/ should come along.
Then, all of a sudden, Nurse Jane
saw a lot of little Pickering lights
in the woods, and she heard voices
! shouting:
Murray FOR Nurse Jane,
Murray for her cake,
Hurray for the pie which
We hope she will bake!''
ooh, what's this?" asked the
Fuzzy Fox, hiding near the front
gate. This must be a lot OF fire.

But Uncle Wiggilys surprise

the animal children cheered Nurse

They cheered for her cake ant
her pies, and the muskrat lady was
so pleased that she went in the
hollow stump bungalow ant
brought out all the doughnuts

she had and there was one fol

One day Uncle Wiggily started
out from his hollow stump bunga-
low very early in the morning,
"Where are you going?' asked
Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, his
muskrat lady housekeeper.
"Oh, just to look for an adven-
ture," Uncle Wiggily answered.
well, don't forget that this is
Election day, and have as good a
right to vote as YOU" said Miss
Fuzzy Wuzzy. please come back
in time so l may go out and vote
at election"
Il will" promised the bunny I'M
Gle, and then Il funny. little twinkle
came over his pink nose and he
blinked his eyes like anything.
A little while after that Uncle
Wiggily met Sammie Littletail
kicking his football along the wood
land path. There was no school on
account of election.
"Sammie," said Uncle Wiggily,
"if you could vote wouldn't you say
that Nurse Jane is the best house
keeper in these woods"
"She certainly is" declared the
rabbit boy. And she makes the
best cake and pie l ever ate!'
Then meet me. after supper
near the old sassafras tree" said
Uncle Wiggily in whisper. u
have a SURPRISE
Good" cried Sammie. trying tC
make his pink nose twinkle like his
uncle's, but not succeeding very
well. I'll be there!"
Next Uncle Wiggily met johnnie
and Billy Bushytail, the squirrels.
Would you vote for Nurse Jane
as being the best candy maker in
these woods?" asked the bunny.
"Of course!" chartered johnnie
and Billie.
Good" cried Uncle Wiggily
"Then meet me at yonder sassafras
bush when night falls. l have a
surprised"
wen be there" promised the
squirrel boys. ,
Uncle Wiggily went on little
further and met Jackie and Peetie
Bow WOW, the doggies.

Editor Morning Journal:
A large number of the property
owners on Tijeras avenue are up in
arms against the present paving
program on that street. The city
commissioners have seen fit to let
the contract to the New Mexico
Construction company at the eX-
orbitant price of $3.50 per square
yard as against price of $2.65 on
the last contract. All of us, with
out exception, are heartily in favor
of paving, but we feel that an in
crease of almost so per cent in the
price is not warranted by any adj
vance in either materials or labor.
There is absolutely no competi
ton possible owing to the wording
of the advertisement for bids, so
that the paving company is free to
ask almost any price, The COM
pany is only following the lead of
other profiteers, because they think
they can get away with it. But

in this forest?" asked the bunny.
"She certainly is!' backed jackie
And she always saves us the

ly. Then meet me at yonder sas-

girl, of her brother Jimmie.
II hope it has something to eat
in it," quacked Jimmie, and Lulu
said the same thing.
When the evening of election day
came, and the grown folk had vot-

to their promises, all gathered at

Samrnie the rabbit.

the recent publication of my article
entitled, "Filling the Dinner Pail"

the main foods with recipes)
which are suitable for the carried
lunch for spring and summer and
for fall and winter Hundreds of
conscientious wives wrote to me
asking for a copy of these lists and
the requests arc still coming in.
This shows how hard the major
ity of women are trying to fulfill
their duty in providing the right
kind of food for their loved ones.

Join hands all nations here below
And live in peace forever more.
Unfurl thy banner; may it wave
Proudly DER the good and brave.
Martyred dead in blood-bought land
Have paid the price to God and man.
AS each one climbed the golden stair
They met an angel standing there
To write their names in book of gold,
TO the sweetest story ever told.
OF lives laid down for fellow man
Think not of self, but those to come
That they may find not strife, but home
A world of love, of light supremacy blest
That leads to God and perfect rest
Theirs a sacred pact with bands of gold
Baptized with tears of mothers bold.
A sacrament offered that the demon war
Be crushed on earth forever more.
Spirit of Power; in prayer thine aid we ask
Uphold and guide Alright those in the
holy task
To sign seal and dedicate to God
The priceless pact. won on Flanders sod
Lest angels weep; and who shall dare
To desecrate word that's written there.

"As the People View IT.

what of the commissioners who are
supposed to safeguard the interests
of the property owners rather than
that of the contractors? Why the
almost indecent haste to award the
contract in the face of falling
prices? l am loath to believe the
rumors that some of them have an
indirect financial interest in the
success of the New Mexico Con-
struction company, but their
actions undoubtedly give color TO
such rumors.
The property owners, who be-
lieve that they are being held up,
have banded together and propose
to take whatever legal steps may
be necessary to obtain justice. The
worm is going to turn this time.
Let property owners on other
streets be on their guard against
permitting the letting of future
contracts on only one bid to a
favored contractor.

give to plant the dead, but l won't
be bossed in giving, and l won't
be chased or led. In the war time
drives were splendid, and they
helped to can our foes, but the war
is done and ended, and the people
need repose. DO not bother
friends or neighbors with requests
for honest dimes; leave them to
their quiet labors. as we did in
olden times. DO not think up
worthy causes that require finan-
