 Well, friendship doesn't mean what Bills friend thinks it does. When it to paying more for less friendship ceases If the city dealer has as good washing machine at lower price, or his salesman has a better knack of making Bill and Sarah want machine, he gets the business.
 This is the point of view the Main Street mer- chant get he is to meet city competition suc- eassfulIy says Nations Business No to reproach neighbors and fellow lodge members for forgetting their friends to exhort them to support home n- dgstryf or community merchants. When Mrs. Con- sner goes shopping she isn't thinking about support ing" any individual firm group, but about stretch na dollars as far they will go The way for the Main Street merchant hold her business is to dress up his store stock well selected choice of goods, price them right and much intelligence in mer- ohandisng his city competitor uses.

Horoscobe The stars tnclins
 but do not compel"

Although adverse aspects rule il the morning hours of today tht planetary influences change later Labor is subject to threatening omens that seem to forecast riots or physical force. Mars is in a place that stirs mems impulses toward violence. There may be sudden acts that precipitate conflicts. Self control should be practiced
 Under this rule of the stars legal papers should be signed and the seers advise the making of wills It is important to keep ones affairs in order.
 Leaders will arise in coming months to direct major commer- cial as well as military or naval operations. Americans are advised to concentrate their property and financial interests.
 Taxes will continue to pile up as the summer advances. Economic problems will be heatedly discussed. but the nations expenses will rise rather than decline. Circumstances that make defense measures even more costly than in previous months are forecast.
 Girls may find the evening dis appointing in its social trends. The signs appear adverse to romance ol even mild interest on the part of young men.
 The death of a statesman in In dia who has been friendly to the Britist government is prognosticat- ed. Unrest in many parts of the Empire will cause added anxiety in London.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of perplexities that may arise from disputes re- garding business or finances. New opportunities will come to women.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be high-strung, intuitive and resourceful. These subjects of Gemini may reveal dual natures or varied talents. They will probably be exceedingly fortunate all through life.
