What TodayMeans to You

NuSO.
Today's planetary aspects are
neither good nor bad; they are more
negative than positive, and do not
favor the making of any important
decisions. or the taking of any signifi-
cant action. They rather counsel the
carrying out, in q conscientious and
calm manner. of the days usual duties
and obligations and the maintenance
of the spirit of self-control, and the
vibrations portend annoyance and
disapl ointments. which, unless met
with deliberation and calm, will bring
about difficulties and misunder-
standing.
A child born today will enjoy
normal health, provided it has plenty
of outdoor exercise-a country life for
wholesome environ
ment. Its character will be depend
able; its disposition more taciturn
than demonstrative; it's mentality
quite up to the average, especially
in those matters that relate to ma
ture's works. The child will have an
inherent love of truth. and an abb
horrence of anything that is deceit
tul or hyDocritical. Its taciturnity of
disposition can. to large extent,
be ameliorated by daily association
with children of it's own age

HOW 1T STARTED

"Willy-nilly," constantly used in

know the verb ito Mill" which is
now obsolete. Composed of the
Anglo Saxon ne" meaning not and
william" to will. it meant not to will
or to refuse. Hence the old express
sion, will l. mill I''-whether i wish

In probably no sect On OF the Valley

The growth of the community has
