HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel"
SATURDAY, MARCH 9


 Benefic aspects rule today which should be fortunate for trade and commerce. Our exports should greatly increase under this con- figuration, in which Neptune is in kindly sway.
 Heart and Home: Women will receive their chief blessings today n the form of letters bringing good news. Correspondence should bring much pleasure, especially to the young who may expect love nissives. The stars smile on those who appreciate their good fortune md attempt to share happiness with others. Stress is placed upon the wisdom of making the most of today, appreciating each joy as 1t comes, as there will be many changes in the coming year and 1943.
 Business Affairs: With unemploy- ment at low ebb, there will be much circulation of money. All through the spring places of amusement, especially horse-racing centers, will profit greatly. Warn ing is given that the urge to specu- late, often expressed in gambling, will be strong and insistent Easy money will encourage reckless Sex- penditures. The wise will conserve their resources for lean years which inevitably follow wars extravaganza and waste.
 National Issues: Farseeing per- sons, including astrologers, foretell that 1941 will decide the final trend iowa l victory for democracy. 16e entrance of Saturn and Uranus into Gemini in May 1942 is of great importance. Uranus will re- main in Gemini seven years. Dur ing similar visitations of the planet in this sign the nation endured two struggles first, the Revolution- ary War, and then, the Civil War. In September, 1943, and in March, 1944, are conjunctions of evil por- tent.
 International Affairs: Omens of new dangers from the Axis powers through the next three months are discerned by the seers This war has been due partly to the influence of the little known plan- ct Pluto, which directs thought and action along new lines. Comfort may be drawn from the position of the Moon, ruler of Germany which occupies a place presaging loss and also regeneration. The Nazi power will decline, but not until terrible destruction has beer achieved.
 Persons whose birthdate it i. have the augury of year of rapis progress toward long-set goals. Pro motion, profit and domestic felicit, are forecast.
 Children born on this day prob ably will have brilliant minds an, engaging personalities. They ma have distinct artistic talents.

 Aeronautics. British publica- tion, stated in December that the British Airways had received de- livery of the first of eight de Hav- illand Flamingos, ito be used abroad on services already in ex- istence and on new routes that have been planned in various parts of the Empire" The Fqamingo is a large transport plane comparable to the Douglas and Lockheed.
 The policy of the British is that such sales keep commercial lines open and effectively create the im- pression that Britain can not only hold off the invader but also do business as usual.
 Because of this, U. s. War De- partment officials are veering to the British view that it is impor- tant to keep commercial airways open and expanding. So the cur tailment of U. s. commercial air plane production may not go into effect after all.

WHITE HOUSE ROOSTER

secretary of Agriculture Claude Wickard has a lot of headaches, but the one which bothered him most recently was delivering a Plymouth Rock rooster in his of- ficial limousine to the White House.
 White House Secretary General Pa" Watson who has a farm down the river near Mount Vernon, asked the Secretary of Agriculture where he could get a rooster for his Plym- outh Rock bullets. Wickard said he would take care of it.
 That was a rash promise. He called in a few experts, asked them to find rooster for the White House. But nothing happened. As experts will, they passed the buck. On his next White House call Wickard encountered an impatient Watson. How about my rooster?" he said.
 So Wickard went out to the ex- perimental farm at Beltsville, Md, on a personal rooster-hunt. But the government farm had just switched types, had no Plymouth Rocks. Then Wickard began nego- tiations between the farm and the University of Maryland, to arrange rooster-swap without violating the law. The delay got to be a joke. and even the President kidded his Secretary of Agriculture about his inability to find rooster.
 Finally Wickard got the rooster, closeted it in the anteroom of his office, while he received a caller. The caller overstayed his time. Suddenly the rooster emitted a screeching "Cock-a-doodle-do and the visitor, accusing Wickard of planting the devise to get rid of callers, left in a huff.

 Japan has got few advantages out of the alli- ance that she would not have enjoyed without it. The implied threat that Germany would make war us if we tried to stop Japan empty Germany is already exerting it's utmost efforts in the war and would consider it foolhardy to take America added enemy merely to help the Japanese If the Japanese, on the other hand mere ly to help Germany by defectng attention to the Pacific, make threatening moves, they the risk of becoming involved in with us. For Japan already entangled in China, this would be fatal step.
 It would of likewise not be to our ad- vantage to get into a with Japan if we could possibly avoid it. Such at this time would play into Hitlers hands. The Japanese Junkers rec ognize this reluctance part to become in- volved in hostlites and playing upon it.

If so the rumble of the German war machine in Europe will doubtless give the signal in Asia.

EAST INDIES OIL

How imminent is the danger of Japanese attack in the Dutch East Indies can be gauged by the fact that the Dutch Shell Oil Company already has taken steps to keep it's valuable property from falling into Japanese hands.
 Dutch Shell has vast interests in the Indies including oil wells scat tered through Borneo and Suma- tra and large oil refinery on the coast of Borneo.
 All its properties. as well as routes leading to them, have been secretly planted with sleeper" mines, which can be detonated at a moments notice if the Japanese set foot on7the sisland. In that case

millions of dollars worth of hold ngs will be blown up or fired.
 The company also has built shell ters for its employees, invisible from the air in the dense jungles of Borneo, where huge quantities of food, medicine and other necessi- ties have been cached Even new wells have been dug to provide water during the emergency.

NO MORE HARD TACK

Hard tack, that celebrated butt of doughboy jibes, will be largely eliminated from Army field rations if Donald M. Nelson, energetic CO., ordinator of defense purchases, has his way.
 Nelson has worked out novel scheme to make U. S. Army field rations the best in the world. The most important feature of this, at least from a soldiers viewpoint, deals with the hated hard tack.
 The defense purchasing chief and his aides have discovered a substitute-canned, irradiated bread. Large quantities of this have been ordered for the Army. Hermetically sealed in small tins, suitable for carrying in a knapSack, the bread will remain fresh indefinitely.
 In addition, every soldier in the field will carry a second tin of a meat and vegetable mixture con- taining all the essential vital . ls The two cans together will give him balanced diet away from camp.
 No other army in the world will be as well and as scientifically fed as ours when the new system is in full cooperation" predicts Nelson.

 A few days later, when he called again, Pa" Watson shook his hand warmly and said:

Wheat Storage Short In County
AS 1911 Crop Harvest Is Ended

Because Of a surplus supply Of
wheat left over from the last two
years, Montgomery county wheat
growers are having difficult time
finding suitable storage for the
1871 crop recently harvested. An
estimated 25O.OOO bushels are now
in storage in five Montgomery
county elevators, farm authorities
admit, while like amount is still
unthreshed, stored in hay-barracks
OF barns.
County agricultural agent stats
tics show that approximately a.
coo acres of wheat were planted in
Montgomery county in 1910 and
harvested this year which averag

ed rs bushels per acre. The nor
NAL average is about 10 bushels
o. w. Anderson, county agent,
stated.
Most Of Montgomery county
wheat is graded No. 2 light garlic
and a loan Of $1.14 subject to in
spection can be expected while the
next grade Of No. 2 heavy garlic
can only demand a loan price of
$1.10, Anderson said. There is
little U. s. No. wheat here as
that grade requires more than so
pounds to the bushel, less than ID
per cent moisture, no garlic and no
cookie.
The current price of wheat in
the county is $1.02.

such a goal unless we, of today,
are as ready and willing to
make sacrifices to maintain
democracy as were our forbears
to obtain democracy.
The business as usual'' atti-
tude is being affected for the
first time in some of the recent
DEGREES. Manufacturers, retail
ers and consumers are begin
ming to feel the effect Of restric-
tons. The defense program is
gradually claiming more and
more of necessities. Extension
Of the time for military service
and the consequent increase of
our armed forces to numbers
never before approached EXCEPT
during the World War will soon
be law. New tax schedules which
will be felt every day will soon
be adopted. All Of these things
should exert a great influence
on the general public. The re-
suit should be an awakening of
interest in national unity. If
this doesn't produce an upsurge
of patriotic fervor the only
possibility remaining for us is
to be attacked either on land or
sea. 1t might be possible that
a blessing in disguise would be
a deliberate attack on one of
our men-o'-war by the Japanese
fleet. Our people need a heavy
injection of a powerful patriotic
serum. The esprit de corps of
the general populace is even
more important than that of the
men in uniform.
