MONDAY. OCTOBER 30

Conflicting planetary aspects are active today The stars encourage workers to cooperate with employers and merchants who are under stim- ulating sway. It is not a lucky date to launch a project, but should be favorable to pushing what is well under way. It is unwise to sign con tracts today
 Heart and Home: After the early morning hours women should be fortunate today. This is lucky we'd ding date, but brides probably will be dominated by their husbands The signs seem to indicate that men will be burdened by many responsi- bilities which women will share The home financial partnership will be- come much closer than in the past
 Business Affairs: Continued im- provement in the outlook of trade and commerce may be expected through the next few weeks. Early shopping for Christmas will benefit
 
 because of an increased demand for trinkets of lasting value. This is a fortunate date for constructive work Much building of machinery is presaged and again the trend toward secrecy will be definite as govern ment contracts are filled.
 National Issues: PerilS foreseen through the work of subversive agents will assume new forms as the nations represented by secret organizations exhibit bitter hostil- ity to the United States. The dis covery of large scale plot to under mine the government will awaken the nation to dangers hitherto ig- nored as not likely to gain strength. Certain newspapers and magazines devoted to liberal thought will come under severe criticism.
 International Affairs: Rumors of cruelties practiced in Spain will arouse indignation and affect cer- tain negotiations. Persecution of the vanquished is to prevail in many parts of the world Executions will increase in Europe as spies are sus- pected and royalties are tested. Warning has been given repeatedly by astrologers that the winter will bring serious problems Economic wisdom should be sought by persons of all classes.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of happiness through romance. Young and mid dle-aged are subject to a rule of the stars which causes thsm 10 seek companionship. Courtship and mar riage will absorb the interests of many. fN Children born on this day prob ably will be shrewd, calculating and ingenious. These subjects of Scorpio have in them the elements of suc- cess, but love affairs may be disas- .rous to certain careers.

HOMETOWN MUSIC

The past years have seen great
development in music in the smaller
cities and towns. Countless schools
have bands. orchestras. and singing
societies. Chorus choirs are formed
in many churches. There are many
more bands and orchestras and sing
ing societies among the adults.
The cultivation of music does a
great deal to. promote the progress
of a town. 1t gives happiness to
music lovers. and takes away their
desire to go to bigger places where
there are better opportunities to sat
isfy this taste. Young people who
are studying music rarely get into
They have something to
work for. and if any of them are
to seek undesirable compan-
ions, the love for music keeps them
too busy for such waste of time.

POPE,S PLEA P0R PEACE

What were the last words family
breathed by the dying Pope Plus XII,
as he set sail on his voyage into the
silent land? The news dispatches
had it that his final words were
whispered so family that they could
not be understood. According to one
report, the word Peace" was family
distinguishable when near his end.
This seems very likely. since the aged
pontiff had labored so earnestly for
world peace, and since the warlike
state of the world had troubled him
so deeply.
Well might that be the final coun-
sci that he has left to mankind. In
so doing he would be following the
words of his Master, who came to
earth to bring peace and good will.
The world is torn by the spirit of
war and conflict. Nations and people
think they can get their way and
Lave what they want by fighting.
They engage in bloody wars. also
various forms of social conflict, with !
selfish aims. thinking of their own |
desires and usually disregarding the |
legitimate claims of their neighbors.
No one and no country gets any

sress. and reduces the world TO mis-

'LESPEDEZAS' URGED
TO BRING BACK LAND
Continued from First Pase1

In Rowan County, N. c., Bureau
workers seeded Korean lespedeza ON
poor land without fertilizer treat
ment for two years. The plants
reached a height of more than two
inches only where row crops had
been fertilized previously. This
growth was limited to a narrow
band right where the fertilizer was
placed in the previous year. Most of
the lespedeza died when about two
inches high.
When the land was treated with
lime and superphosphate there was
a marked increase in growth. On un-
treated plots Korean reached a
height of one to three inches; with
lime alone, to Is inches; and 9 to
II inches where lime and superphos-
phate were both applied. Kobe and
common lespedeZas grew 4 to S
inches on untreated plots, Q to II
inches with superphosphate, 6 to 8
inches with lime. and 8 to 16 inches
with both lime and superphOsplate
From to 8 tons of lime per acre,
and 500 pounds of superphosphate
per acre was the rate of application.
Sericea showed the same trend in
growth with fertilization. 1t reached
a height of 26 inches with super
20 to 30 inches with lime,
and 80 to 40 inches with both lime
and superphosphate. compared with
Is inches on untreated plots.

AID TO LAWMAKERS

a St. Louis dispatch tells how a
new chemical preservative will ell
able farmers TO treat their hay even
when the sun doesn't shine. thus
avoiding the delays often caused by
the process of suring hay in the
sun.
This holds out hopes of an easier
life for haymakers. Summer show
crs and storms have made hard 60
ing for countless farmers in the
past. They anxiously watched the
clouds when their grass was cut.
There were exciting races TO the
barn to get the hay under cover be-
fore those black clouds poured out
their contents. So modern science

HOPES FOR THE FARMERS

The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture thinks the farmers will have
more prosperity in 1889 than they
had last year. Industrial business
picked up considerably in the latter
part of 1898, Many people who cut
themselves short on food supplies,
will buy more meats. vegetables.
dairy products. etc. Prices of farm
products have been rising, which
will lift the clouds of encouragement
from many farm homes.
If the farmer prospers, his welfare
is felt all over the country. When
the coins jingle in his pocket, the
merchants work off their stocks. and
the smoke comes ont of the factory

POWER IN THE AIR

The American people are being
warned that they will need a greater
force of military airplanes, to pro-
tect the country against a possible
sudden attack from bombing planes
in case war breaks out. The people
seem to realize the need for such
protection. and measures to provide
such greater strength seem TO meet
with general approval
The forces of warfare have seen Il
great change since airplancs filled
the skies. Who would have dreamed
50 years ago that hostile visitors
could cross an ocean 5000 miles wide.
and deliver their death dealing mes
sengers from the skies on the homes
of great cities? The opinion of the
world would have been shocked by
such ways of conducting warfare in
those days.
Then it was felt that kindness and
should place some limits OH
the cruelty of warriors, and that
there was an obligation not to fight
women and children and old men.
That idea seems forgotten now in
some powerful quarters. The air
planes rage over defenseless cities,
and they drop their deadly weapons
on unoffending peo-
pie.
We have to take the world as it is.
and adapt ourselves to it as best we
ran. For the present it seems to
mean more airplanes. more guns.
more men ready to fight and defend
1ur land. The danger of war reaching
his country may not be very great .

have to admit it and prepare for it.
The institutions of our country are

GOOD WILL

The ministers keep telling us that
the worlds problems can be solved
by good will" What is good will,
ard how can We set it to work, to
keep us out of the hell of war?
You can't see good will, nor hear
il. 1t is very intangible thing. Yet
it has high value. People who buy
cut business concerns often have to
pay large amounts of money to get
it. The old established and reliable
firm which has done good work over
d period of years has built up this
unseen force. 1t consists of the
friendship which people have form
ed for the company. the confidence
its dealings have established.
People have that good will be-
cause when they went to that COM
pany's place of business. they were
given fair treatment They were told
the truth about goods. If they got
anything that was not as represented !
they could take it back and get their .
money. 1t was faithful and consid- .
crate dealing over many years that /
produced that good will. If that COM
pany had failed to pay attention to
the needs of its customers. and had
not treated them right. it would new
cr have built up that good will.
Good will between nations and
peoples can be built up in the same
way. We have that good will be-
tween the United States and Canada.
The United States has treated Canada
well. and Canada treats the United
States we'll The same good will
might exist in Europe. but it doesn't.
The reason seems to be that some {
nations have not been treated well.
and that nations have done wrong ,
and selfish things. The private bust I
ness concern finds il the best policy s
TO treat its customers well and build c
mp this good will Nations can build '
up good will by the same means. and s
accomplish far more than they ever I
will by grasping for advantages for
themselves. And they can stop the G
.urse of war. the greatest foe to hu- I
nan progress. [

COWBOYS ORGANIZE


News from Montana reports the
formation of two organizations Of
cowboys. The American people will
be glad to see these men get together
and plan policies that shall promote
their interests.
In the old days of cattle herding
OH the Western plains, the cowboy
had very essential function. The
cattle were roaming over vast
spaces. without fences or roads. and
with scattered and irregular places
for water and shelter. The cowboy
had to keep these animals together,
drive them to good pastures. prevent
them from being mixed up with
Groves where they did not belong.
protect them from thieves, brand
them at the proper seasons. and
drive them when ready for cOnver-
sion into beef.
Experience like these developed
very vigorous race of men, keen OBJ
servers of nature and the ways of
animals. forceful in action and able
TO stand up for their rights. The /
cowboys have been large factor in
The development of our grand

DIVIDENDS ON YOUR PURCHASE

When you buy anything away
from home. the only thing you get
is the thing you bought, which may
ci may not be worth the money you
Paid for it.
When you buy goods at home. you
get a return for the money over and
above the value of the article pur-
chased. That return comes in the
form of the benefit that money spent
at home confers on your home
town. 1t helps make business more
prosperous, it helps business employ
more labor. pay more taxes and con-
tribute more generously to the pro-
gress and good causes of the COM
munity. Thus you get kind of re-
turn dividend on your purchase, and
it is a generous one.

EXODUS OF THE JEWS

Plans are being completed which
it is expected will provide for the
migration of all Jews from Germany
They will be scattered in many coun-
tries, and some will come to the U.
s. This is one more exodus" in the
history of the Jews. The word ''exo-
dus" means going out from some
place. and it seems as if the Jews.
in nearly 40 centuries of their his
tory. had constantly had to go out
from some place in order to live in
peace
In the early Bible days they suf-
fered in Egypt. and the book of Exc
dus tells how they escaped by cross
ing an arm of the Red Sea. Since
then from time to time many of them
hace had TO flee from some land
where they were crowded down. Yet
through all these sufferings they
emerge full of vigor. and take prom
inent places in the lands to which
they go.

KNOWING THE RIGHT PEOPLE

Knowing the right people and
personality are leading factors in
helping young folks to find jobs. is
the view of an educational expert
who recently made studies for tho
New York board of regents.
How know the right people?"
some youngsters will ask. One way
is to do everything we'll that you
do. If you learn your lessons extra
well, the teacher will point you out
as star. and the right people will
be glad to know you. If you play
games well, you will know many of
the right people who admire that
kind of achievement. Knowing the
right people sometimes comes thru
luck and chance. but superiority in
any line produces many such con-
SctS.

HOW TO GET ACQUAINTED

In many towns strangers and new
comers find it hard to get acquaint-
ed The older residents fail to call
Oil them. or give them any greeting
that will make them feel at home.
This is to be regretted, as it seems
only common kindness to give such
folks a good welcome.
There is one sure and easy way
for strangers TO get acquainted. That
IS to go into the town activities.
They should join some organization.
express interest in it. and tell its
officers they would be glad TO work
for its progress. People who are will
ling to do such work are often scarce,
and they are usually put promptly to
work on some committee. This
brings them in contact with many
people. they make friends. and soon
their loneliness is all gone.

ADORNING THE HOME PLACE

The spring weather will soon be
with us, and there should be plans
for improving the home places. Is
there hard angle and lack of beauty
about the line between the lawn and
your house? Some nice shrubs would
do lot to soften that line. Their
colorful blossoms will make your
home seem a nest of beauty.
Many streets and home places
need more trees. They give shade
in the summer. their waving branch
es bring the loveliness of nature into
town streets. The old towns of our
country are beautiful because their
founders planted trees. The birds
come to nest amid this foliage, and
their songs help our homes to seem
the abOdes of happiness.

RECOVERY DRIVE

The powers of business and gov
Crnment are reported to be planning
. general recovery drive, to encour-
age business to operate on a greater
scale, and employ many people now
idle. Business and government are
the two horses that pull the coun-
try's loads. and they need to pull in
the same direction, and have some
what the same ideas of the road
they are going to travel. If they
have different ideas about the road
they won't make any great speed. and
may stand still a good deal of the
time.
The marvellous industrial ma
chinery which the country possesses
should come nearer running at full
time. We need more smoke coming
cut of the chimneys. and the hum
ming of the machines is the sweetest
music our people could hear.
Business will have to yield to the
desires of the people as to how bust
ness should be run. but it does not
pay for the public to demand that
business should be pushed so hard

KID BASEBALL

Already in some localities on mild
days, the boys are reported as play
ing baseball in back yards. 1t is a
cheerful sound to the American
heart, to hear the crack of the batted
ball again, and those happy kids yell
ing with Joy. The feel of the base
ball is in the fingers of American
youth. With the rising suns of
March there comes the itch to knock
home runs. and to catch flies that
come from way up in the air.
Countless professional ball players
entered their first games of this
sport on such improvised grounds.
and there they learned the ways of
Daseballs, and what makes them go
in twisty curves. what they are
likely to do when they hit the ground
and where they are likely to fall
when they fly high in the air.
They say the musician has an ad- I
vantage if he starts in his early child
hood. and similarly the ball player
is aided if he gets all early start. and
begins early to study the motions of
the little sphere and the way to
make it do his will II

MARBLES ON TIE WALkS

They say you can tell when spring
has come by the sight of boys play
ing marbles on the walk. This
seems a surer sign of spring than any
indication the grounding may give.

in the boy mind that knows when
the sun is going to smile on every
kid who wants to roll the slippery
balls of marble
The marbles game has become an
important sport in the boy world.
