HOROSCOPE.
TUESDAY, AUGUST IS, 1872.

Astrologers read this as an uncer-
tain day in which contrary stars
have power over the destinies of
men and women While Uranus.
Mercury and the Sun are all in BEN
efic aspect, Neptune, Saturn and
Venus are adverse.
Under this sway the mind may be
variable. and while there may be
strong impulses in the right direc-
tion they may not be positive
enough to sway toward success.
It Is an exceedingly precarious
rule for those who pin their faith
TO the promises of persons who ex-
ercise authority and have II within
their ability TO extend valuable
service.
Great ebbs and floods of favor
and disfavor are likely to be the
result of an effort to obtain political
or financial support.
This Is not a fortunate rule un-
der which to push any sort of an
enterprise. whether 1t ,be a woman
or 4 man who is the promoter.
II Is an unlucky planetary for
love affairs. All the signs seem to
Indicate a great susceptibility to
romance and this Is read as men,
acing since II may be one of the in
-s'cations of recourse to arms. or an
>pcomlng war.
- The seers explain that when they
warn of war they mean labor
troubles as well as other clashes
between men.
Shipping matters are to come
much to the front and they will
cause trouble for the President.
IL will be recalled that astrolog-
ers gave warning that the summer
would bring many anxieties to the
head Of the United States govern
ment and many political surprises.

S. CAROLINA FARM
WOMEN MAKE MONEY
RURAL CLUBS ORGANIZE AND
MARKET THEIR PRODUCTS
VERY SUCCESSFULLY.

Products which brought farm wo-
men S99715.64 were marketed IN
South Carolina during 1921 through
associations aided in their organization
bv extension workers with women.
The United States department OF ag-
ricu1ture has received reports from
South Carolina describing the ways IN
which club markets and sales associa-
tons were organized, and what was
accomplished.
Realizing that the need OF the coun-
try women was to dispose advantage,
ously OF farm products which would
increase the small amount OF avail
able cash during the period OF imam
cial depression, these workers endea-
vored to promote two particular phas-
es of marketing.
The sale of specialized products, put
up bv recipes. was conducted through
the South Carolina Home Purchasers
Association. This association limited
the number OF standard products 10
ten. which would be distinctive OF the
state. prepared special labels and at
tractive containers and handled the
sales through a paid secretary. Con
tracts were signed by women who de-
sired to become members, obhgating
them to supply a certain amount OF
produce prepared according to recipe
and packed in standard containers.
This sales association is being devel-
oped in almost every county in South
Carolina, with continuously increasing
membership.
The other phase of marketing de-
veloped was the establishment OF club
markets at which the producer may
sell direct to the consumer Produc-
ton campaigns were encouraged to
raise vegetables and chickens, to make
butter, to bake cakes and bread.

AK for Federal Papers

Harding Prunes Number of Govern

Harding Prunes Number of Govern
ment Publications Began in War.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Reckless
waste in the expenditure of public
funds during the great war, and for
a time after the armistice was signed,
manifested itself in divers ways in the
various departments and developed
problems in retrenchment with which
congress has been more or less sue
cessfully struggling ever since Al
though of minor importance from the
standpoint of actual monetary loss,
one of the most irritating and most
difficult leaks to stop has been in con-
nection with the public printing. Gov
ornamental newspapers, magazines and
bulletins were developed during the
war by almost every department and
bureau.
Sometime ago congress began to
WELD an energetic AK in this produc-
tive field of federal activity. One at
ter another OF these periodicals began
to suspend. But the end is not yet, as
legislation has been formulated by the
congressional, joint committee on
printing that is designed to reduce
their activity to a minimum.
Down to About 20.
When the congressional committee
first began its investigation OF the
printing of periodicals it found the to-
tai number to be approximately zoo.
Having no paid circulation and neces-
sarily having no income from adver-
tisements, many of these publications
constituted a drain upon the revenues
from which there came no return
whatever. The committee estimated
they were costing the people $780,,
900 year.
AT the beginning of this year the ak
had been welded so successfully that
there were Approximately only 40 of
these publications being issued Since
then some have been merged or con-
and by the time the com
mittee gets through with its task Of
stopping this leak the number will be
reduced to about 20, and a net saving
of $2,500,000 year will be the result.

Judge John T. Pendleton, Of Fulton
superior court, in holding the IVY
banking act unconstitutional IN ITS
provisions to enforce payment by
stockholders of the debts OF lnsolvent

If the supreme court upholds Judge
Pendleton it will mean that all the

petitions for injunction, all setting up
the unconstitutionality OF the act OF
1919 which gives Superintendent Ben
