HOROSCOPE.

Newspaper Syndicate.
Thursday. August 90. 1920.


After the morning hours this day
is uncertain in its planetary influ-
ences, astrOlogers announce,
1t is not a favorable day for win
ming public approval and political
candidates should be exceedingly
wise and cautious.
There is a sign read as presaging
many campaign sensations that will
eliminate suddenly. The uneX-
pected is to be a greater menace
than usual.
The hours before ten in the
morning should be fairly favorable
to most lines OF business.
They who read the signs foresee
"a strange condition that will affect
agriculturists, who may find an
alien race etilling many farms once
belonging to the public domain.
Kindly stars guide the young
who seek to find the right place In
which to earn money. 1t should
be a lucky day for seeking en-
ployment.
Advertising again is subject TO
the best direction, which makes for
gain and for wide attention.
Investors will be anxious and
there will be runs on banks as well
as other signs of financial appre-
hension.
The prophesy that there would
be a tightening of the money mar
ket was accompanied, when first
made, by the assurance that there
would be but a brief stringency.
Persons whose birth date it is
have the forecast of a prosperous
year, but they must assure success
by unusually hard work.
Children born on this day should
not assume great responsibilities
for they are likely to be tempera-
mental and fond of freedom from
any sort of anxiety.

Clovis Has Rat, Menace.

Clovis Journal: For several
years Clovis has been known as n
ratless city on account OF the rarity
of rodents. This year that reputa-
ton has gone glimmering.
Elevators, house movers, carpen-
tiers who have been repairing old
buildings, and storage house men
all state that they have never seen
such a rapid increase in rats as
has taken place this year.
Their appearance may be partly
accountable to the vast number or
southern produce and mercantile
cars which are handled through
here, and which doubtless bring
many stowaways.

betterments until we have the money forthcom-
ing to meet the expenditures entailed thereby.
If the public insists on betterments and i'm
provements, it must provide the money to pay
for them. This can come only through increased
taxation or the flotation Of bond issues. In
either case, the taxpayer must foot the bill
A patient and tolerant mood is preferable just
now to an impatient demand for those things
whose acquisition can be postponed for short
time.
That all public enterprises are handicapped
by lack of sufficient money is aptly illustrated
by the plight of the three great educational in
stitutions of Indiana. The tax levy for their
support is inadequate to meet their financial
wants. The presidents of these institutions in
formed the state board of tax commissioners this
week that they are losing their best instructors
to other institutions which afford to pay
better salaries. Indiana ranks seventh among
states of the Middle West in the money appro-
priated for educational purposes. The showing
is not one of which we can boast and be proud.
The state board is in quandry as to legal
method to help the institutions.
The example, taken at random from almost
daily reports of officials who are hard pressed
to pay public expenditures with the amount of
money raised by taxation, illustrates the finan-
cial plight of city and state government.

Today Talk
BY George Matthew Adams
THE HAPPY THINGS.


When the day Is done and the
shadows stretch and the Sand Man
comes around to us who are older in
years, how beautiful it Is to think Of
the happy things-just before the
Tightening of sleep.
More people would learn about
peaceful dreams if they could just
push aside every disturbing thought
when night creeps on.
When l was a boy, was once told,
or else read 1t, that the great Glad
stone had this motto above the place
where he slept: Thou wilt keep him
in perfect peace whose mind is stayed
on Thee"
Sometimes I think that the only
thing / know about GOD Is the good
that DO So that if l often mediate
upon the happy instances, / am sure to
learn quite a good deal about God.
I like to put from my mind the I'm
kind words from those whom l love
for they are mostly spoken unthinking-
ly-even as do so often speak. But
the happy things, I hang up in my
heart where | can see them all the
time.
1t Is because this world of ours has
so many things to 1t that are 1mpossl-
BILE that unhappiness and discords
creep in to rob us of our just deserts.
But if we keep in mind the little
happy things-to bring them to pass
and to keep them fresh-then we are
sure to be wanted in the world for a
long time.
The happy things are what create
the music from the golden chords OF
character.

Good Evening
By ROY x. MouIton
The Funny-Hat Season Is With Us.

The Funny-Hat Season Is With Us.
The things that men wear on their
heads between the straw-hat season
and the winter-hat season passeth all
understanding. No man in the woriG
goes and buys a new winter hat as
soon as he throws the straw away.
He postpones the evil moment and
rummages around in the attic and digs
up some old frying-pan that he threw
away the previous spring.
Consequently tie mob assumes a
queer aspect to a man in an airplane
between hat seasons. Looking down,
the aviator may we'll believe the world
has gone baimy, for men wear things
on their heads that are beyond belief.
From the old iron Kelly that slides
down over the face and conceals most
of the important features, to the an
tiquated golf-cap which hangs defect
eddy over one ear, and gives one the
appearance of a stick-up man, nothing
is impossible.
A man may wear fur cap in late
September and nobody takes a second
look. He may go to business in a
'wester, a yarn cap, or an old
football helmet and everybody thinks
it is the natural thing to do. Even a
red velvet smoking cap with a tassel
on 1t is not sufficient to cause a mans
arrest.
But if there is an old fedora around
the house that the wife has used to
lift the pots and kettles or to polish
the stove with, or one that the hens
have been laying in all summer that
is what the average citizen loves best
to wear hatwaen sea sons
If he can have this hat blow off
and induce some horse to step on il,
he is happier than ever.
Men like old hats best, and there
are two reasons for this. One Is
that he likes to set an example in hat
economy around home, and the other
is that he would rather go to a deJi-
list and have five teeth filled than
to pick out one fall hat. He believes
that every hat he picks makes him
look like an escaped guest of Matte
wan trying to sell a perpetual motion
machine. Generally he is right, but
that is neither here nor there.
He wears the old hat until the briul
drops off and the hair sticks through,
which happens about the first of De-
cember. AS all the other old hats give
up the ghost about the same time
the male population begins to assuma
respectable aspect shortly before
Christmas.
Don't judge a man by his hat be-
fore December !, for it may not be
his hat at all. 1t may be his little

Where the High Price Level is Keenly Eel

Sometimes the taxpayer may wonder why
public expenditures are in excess of the revenue;
why, for instance, the school system must have
more money, and why the county and city can
not operate their various departments as cheaply
formerly; why public improvements cannot be
made, and why extensions must be postponed.
The answer, of course, is the high cost Of
Everything. But the taxpayer may rejoin that
the tax rates have increased in the last few
years, and surely the revenue derived from these
increases should be sufficient to meet the costs.
The fact however, is that the rate of increase
in taxation has not been as great as that of rap
idly soaring prices. The money placed at the
disposal of city, county and school officials
through taxation is not sufficient to warrant ex-
penditures which the public sometimes wants in
the form of improved service and public improve
ments.
Salaries of city and county officials, of clerks
in the various municipal and county offices, pay
of members of the fire. police and other depart
nents have not been advanced proportionately
with the increase of commodities. A comparison
of salaries and wages paid by the city and county
with those paid by mercantile, commercial and
industrial concerns will convince any skeptlc OF
the truth Of the assertion.
The lack of money also explains why the city
and county cannot go ahead with improvements.
When the tax rate for the year is fixed, it can
not be changed The revenue from this source
depends on the tax rate and assessed valuation
of the property. Both city and county have other
forms of revenue, but these are negligible fac
tors. If the revenue of political unit is fixed
for a year, it is easy to see that officials must
restrict expenditures within this amount, unless
a bond issue is resorted to. The public just now
is in no mood to approve of more bond issues.
With this situation existing, the public must
be tolerant of conditions that arise therefrom.
We cannot reasonably expect an extension of
utility service, more miles of permanently i'm
provd highways, costly additions to our school
systems, and scores of other highly desirable

Kiwanis Gets Its Charter =.

Officially the Kiwanis club is now Identified
with the national body, for last night it received
it's charter from the president of the Indiana
organization
Dedicated to a constructive policy, the club
will be one of the upbuilding influences of the
community It's members are imbued with the
right civic consciousness, which believes that the
good of the city should be the aim of every man,
woman and child of Richmond.
The development of healthy and progressive
city pride is an object of which no organization
need feel ashamed. The Kiwanis club is founded
on sound principles, actuated by unselfish mo-
tives, and organized for the community welfare.
It may we'll be proud of it's high aims and pur-
poses.
The presence of an officer of the Rotary club
at the meeting last night evidences commend
able spirit of cooperation and harmony between
the two organizations, both of which have much
in common. They are strivers and seekers for
civic improvement and betterment. Richmond
will benefit very much from the presence of
these two clubs.
May the membership of each flourish and
both be successful in carrying out the high aims
which they have set their goals.
