TODAY'S HOROSCOPE

Today gives the patient worker,
and one humble in spirit. Do not
put too much trust in others, for
there arc indications of loss there
by, or perhaps the path of life may
be led into useless tracks. Therefore
while remembering the wants of
others, do not forget that you need
some things for yourself. 1t is a
clf-sacrificing degree.

War department sources said the
first registration date probably
would be Oct. Is, and that about
80 days later, the first $4,000 OF
the draftees will be brought into
the service. Successive increments
of about 100000 or 125,OOO will be

On that date, the army expects

the British pilots. For example, it
quoted, he himself hal to take off
to meet the Germans as often as

better. Well guess that there are
more small communities in Indl-

that the residents thereof can tell
you more about persons liv

This Unsuitable curiosity with

A Hoosier can no more help being
a fairly good newspaper reporter
