THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Saturday. March 8.

Good and evil aspects contend to-
morrow. according to astrology. which
reads in the stars certain menacing
signs.
Early in the morning, workers
should benefit and writer's should gain
facility from the planetary influences.
Irritability and nervousness are likely
TO be accentuated while this rule pre-
walls, and so 1t Is wise to beware OF
argument.
Stubbornness and contrariness are
supposed to be increased under this di-
rection OF the stars, and for this reason
business partners may have difficulties.
Business should benefit from this
sway. which makes for progress and de-
velopment. New millionaires will be
added TO the list SO rapidly growing In
this country.
There Is good sign for those who
plan big projects and all the aspects
presagc immense undertakings for 1923
This Is rather menacing rule for
farmers In the sense that nature may
exercise destructive power through
Spring storms.
The aged should take care of the
health at this time. when the planetary
aspects are not favorable to them.
Women should be careful while this
configuration continues. for they may
be thwarted In the fulfillment of their
hearts desires.
There Is a sign that appears to indi-
cate for travellers unfayorable condi-
tions causing delays.

THIS DOG is

On outstanding trait in the 81

disposition. There Is none Of the
fierce fighting and throat slash

Alaskan dog.
Instead they dwell amiably to-
gether and, says Nature Magazine,
havl genuine affection for one an

With man they are slow to
make friends, out once having
been won over they serve with q
cheerful loyalty that cannot be
surpassed. They are what Is
known as zone man dogs"
The speed they make is remark
able; their endurance marvellous.
In the 408 miles .AIl-Alaska Sweep
