Claims Stars Portend Evil
Star.Gazer Predicts Death, Murder
and Horror Will Dominate
in 1928.

Hoboken, N. j., Dec. 24.-Death,
murder and horror will dominate NOR
tai affairs during the coming year,
for the planets are planning to hand
us rotten deal
At least, that is what Professor
Gustave Meyer told me today that the
stars indicate. And Professor Meyer
claims to have an intimate knowledge
of stellar plans.
cts a great game-heavenly poll
tics-but it certainly plays put and
take with human schemes"
So IL you look at the quiet and
twinkling stars tonight, do not be too
sure all is right with the world, for
life will not be all honey and roses
during the next IL months.
1t is like this, the professor said:
"The minute a person is born GER
tain planets put their heads togeth-
er and decide on the life activities of
events, the woes and successes of that
individual are fixed, and come what
may, one cannot change the pre-de-
termined course of life one whit.
"Some may have supreme conf
dence in the power of their own will
to guide them through the difficulties.
Some may take unto them through
the difficulties. Some may take unto
themselves credit for their achieve
ments, but they are placing credit
where it is not due"
By way of getting acquainted Pro-
fessor Meyer predicted rosy future
for the interviewer-that is, he said,
it would be rosy if the interviewer did
not drink himself to death or gamble
himself into the poor house. At any
rate, he added, the next IL months
will be happy for the writer.
Then he got down to business and
said:
THE coming year will be the
most eventful year in many, probably
the most eventful history. On the one
hand business will be good; on the
ether, earthquakes, disasters and
strikes will be rampant and all be-
cause the evil planet Saturn will rule
the first mansion of the sky"

Several merchants have told NJ
that they had a fine trade just befor,
Christmas. Three merchants said th,,
year was far ahead of last year, an;
expressed themselves as being yer,
much gratified over the showing.
We have reached the conclusion
that the cry Of depression is more 6
figment of the brain than a reality
Some people are using the cry OF
hard times to avoid paying their hon.
est debts. Some have heard the cry
Of boil weevil until they have been
seized with gripping fear. The truth
is, this county is not in any sort of
sad plight. The county, as whole
is in better condition than it ever
was in its history.
We advise merchants and business
men to cease crying hard times and
give honest attention to the conduct
of their business. The farmer will do
well to take the safe advice.
There are some needless expenses
that might be eliminated, but the fact
remains that we are in reasonably
good fix financially in Union county.
1t is probable that we are now fac
ing far better conditions. There is
ahead general revival of business.
