What to Expect During the Month Of November

dates from November Z to IA is one
to accept cautiously unless each son
or daughter of this period of the
month is prepared to bring into his
life some powerful outside influence
l do not see that these love affairs
are unfortunate, but simply that they
consume time and energy as such
things have a way of doing, and
might, therefore, interfere with the
necessary attention to business which
is so strong in the mind of the aver
| age Scorpio man or woman.
The 18th Of the month is the strong
est birth date for affectional upsets,
and those born upon that date can
promise themselves some unusual
thrills in the months to come. The
entire month of August next year
will bring them many throbbings un-
der the left coat lapel. while the first
week of February may be difficult
for them. Expenses and hints of pub
lie scandal or gossip hang over this
birth date.
Generally speaking, every one born
between the 10th and 18th of the
present month should be unusually
careful about possible sources of pub
lie criticism all through the year 1921
This refers particularly to men and
women of this group who are run
ming for office, are engaged in pro-
fessional work or occupy positions of
trust which would be endangered by
such gossip.
The best birth dates of November
this year are those falling between
the 21st and 2Sth Of the month, all
natives OF this time of year being
promised happy social and domestic
conditions for the following Il months

relating to health, money matters, do
mestic complications and business or
occupation, all of which will be. quite
disturbing during the months of Feb
ruary and October, 1927, at both OF
which times they should resolve to
take things very easily and not allow
important decisions to be made. The
months of March. April and May.
1927, should be good for these people.
particularly for the November group.
If your birthday fell on the first
day of the present month, you have
a confusing and changeful year ahead
Of you, particularly in regard to love
affairs or contacts with the opposite
sex generally. also in regard to do
mestic arrangements. Your best
months in the year to come Will be
March and October, so take advan-
tage of opportunities which come your
way at those periods.
If your birthday comes anywhere
else during the first week OF Novem-
ber other than the first day of the
month. things will not be as upset
ting for you IN the immediate future
as they have been in the Is months
just past. Those born on either No
vember or Z car even count upon
rather promising adventures or ex-
citing new interests in their lives be-
fore the end of next April. Travel or
new positions in business would be
favorable for any one born on either
of these two dates.
All those born during the second
week of this month seem slated for
emotional experiences within q few
weeks Of their birth dates.

"YET without her I think I should
still have found war a great ad-
venture and marvellous absorption.
It casts a spell over me In its every
phase-the immensity Of its mechan.
ism, it's forces, it's noise; the simple
humanness of its contacts, its queer
contrasts-the grumbling. grousing
soldier who hates himself and his
officers and swears he'll shoot his
lieutenant in the back. and then goes
into battle and fights his way through
hell, glorifed. exultant; the gorgeous
ness Of night barrages, the dirts and
smell of the trenches. the litter that
marks the aftermath of an advance.
and even the dull glowing despair Of a
retreat and the rumblings Of revoluH

dangerous in the awful Spring and
Summer Of 1917.

- number pretty we'll when they
characterized it as the gloomy
L month of all the year. But
there is a time when serious
matters have to be dealt with, and
the only way in which such affairs
can be efficiently concluded is by a
study of their astrological aspects.
The fact that one or two sensitive in
dividuals cannot contemplate anything
but the most frivolous and non-intel-
lectual daily influences without going
into a sinking spell should not hinder
the rest of us from realizing that in
the month ahead we have weighty
problems to handle that will call upon
our faculties of concentration, analy-
sis and decision.
The people bound to feel the most
ponderous effect of the strong aspects
due for November are those born from
the 18th to the 18th of the month Of
any year back. with a second group
consisting of those whose birthdays
fall about the middle Of either August
or May. All during the present month
February-born people are very gen.
orally subject to delays, secret oppo-
sition and even threats of disaster or
violence, yet the underlying planetary
influences in their horoscopes at the
present time are so powerful that
these promised difficulties can hardly
materialize into anything definite

CHANCE FOR DELAWARE
BUYERS TO PURCHASE
T. B. FREE CATTLE

The Bureau of Animal Industry of
New York, in cooperation with the
Federal Government, has set aside a
section of the East Buffalo Stock
Yards, where only cattle from fully
accredited herds and cattle from
modified accredited counties will be
handled. This section is entirely
separate, and the quarters are kept
thoroughly clean and disinfected.
These cattle will come from the
nearby Western States, accompanied
by a proper certificate, and the Della
ware State Board of Agriculture
feels that it would be a good plan
for the Delaware buyers of cattle to
take advantage of this opportunity,
as they will be permitted to place
cattle from this segregated section
in herds operated under the accredit-
ed herd plan.
Tuesday, September IA, 1926, will
be the opening day Of this new sec
tion in the East Buffalo Stock Yards,
and large number of sellers and
buyers of clean cattle are expected to
be present.
