SUNDAY, FEB. 26, 1888

Although this is not an inn
portant day in planetary direc-
ton. according to astrology, the
influences are good. The stars
encourage reflection and frank
discussion.
Under this rule of the stars
the church S in the United
States should prosper and toll
erance among varying faiths
should extend rapidly.
Aged persons come under a
trying CONFORMATION supposed to
increase susceptibility to colds
and attendant ills. The seers
foretell many sudden deaths.
Notable public careers will end.
There is an suspicious sign
for visiting and for informal
hospitalities where conversation
will tend to clarity opinions on
religion and politics.
Newspapers are to undergo
changes in management and
policy as long-established pub
fishers end their ownership.
Young men will make names for
themselves by liberal views that
may antagonize conservatives.
Public speaking is to be cul-
tivated widely and the clergy
will be subject to criticism for
laxity in diction. Pulpit orators
must attain high standards if
they are to succeed.
Venus eliminating at Berlin
and Rome seems to presage an
even stronger alliance between
Germany and Italy. Mussolini
will be a curb on the inclinations
of Hitler.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of a year of
steady gain in money and posi-
ton. Women should be success
full in social ambitions.
Children born on this day may
be quick in mental processes,
clever in promoting their own
best interests and just in all
their dealings. These subjects
of Pisces usually enjoy public
respect.

PADDING DELIVERY
RECEIPTS

Good business practice re-
quires that careful check be
made of everything which is
brought on the premises or
leaves them. Years operates a
chain of ice-cream stores in New
Orleans. He was accustomed TO
rent his linen supplies from a
supply company, paying a set
charge per article All his linen
was delivered by the same sales
man whom Years trusted so
implicitly he did not bother to
check his receipts for more than
six months.
During this time the salesman
had been charging him for twice
as many articles as he delivered.
He entered the correct amount
on his returns to the company
and pocketed the difference
whic hamounted to about 81 800.
When the fraud was discovered,

There Is an equitable prin-

parties must suffer loss through

OF the loss should be imposed

PASSING OF NOTED

Editor, The Times: The pass

like an atmosphere around our

Scotch singers in Great Britain,
Australia and this country, but
no one could thrill us like our
dear departed friend. AS it was
said of Henry Irving. Berry Sui
Ivan and others famous on the

a parrot repeating the Lords

The only bus company in the

Hostesses would be a better
term for them. The job does not
necessarily require trained
nurse, though part of it is TO take
care of babies and women on the
buses. Employment is mainly
on basis Of charm, we under

expected to keep the passengers
from getting too bored on long

Dominant aspects today are
adverse to many human ambi-
lions, according to astrology.
There is promising sign for
labor, but warning is given
against an arrogant attitude by
leaders.
Women should curb their am
billions and change plans geared
toward unusual achievement in
the world of business or politics.
Opposition to many who have
unusual gifts will be persistent,
especially in the learned pro-
LESSONS.
Capitalists and employers are
subject to planetary influences
conducive to MISUNDERSTANDING
on the part of those whom they
employ. Criticism of those who
have by those who have not will
be even more general than it
was last year.
Workers are to enjoy many
benefits through this year which
seems to promise more advan-
tages to those who depend upon
trained hands to those who be-
long to the white collar groups.
South America is to have a
year of contradictory expert
ences in which alliances will
change. American diplomats
are to gain new respect in
Europe.
Queen Elizabeth of England
is to be widely praised for an
independent gesture affecting
public welfare. The stars are
smiling upon her, but she may
sustain sorrow within the
year.
Persons whose birthdate il is
have the augury of year of
temporary anxieties that may be
easily overcome 1t is well to

Gentlemen: In re House Bill

them fully understand the rea-
son for loss leader sales In the
retail food business, or under
stand who really absorbs the
loss on such sales.
| wish to illustrate by refer
ring particularly to the items OF
butter and eggs. AS everyone
is aware, no state In the union
has suffered during the past few
years from an overproduction of
butter and eggs as has our own
state of Washington.
The U. S. department OF agri-
culture has released figures
from time to time showing the
constantly increasing tonnage
of butter being placed into cold
storage. The amount has been
staggering.
Notwithstanding the federal
government allocated millions
of dollars to the federal surplus
commodity corporation to sup
port the butter market and has
purchased millions upon millions
OF pounds of butter-storing
millions of pounds and giving
away millions of pounds to those
on relief-the fact still remains
that there is still a staggering
surplus in cold storage at this
moment.

storage butter is released by
