MY NEW 1912 ASTROLOGY
READINGS ARE READY

M. L. S.-My husband and I are
separated and haven't been able to
get along. We have a baby l year
old. The court makes him support
her. Not long ago he came to me
and told me he wanted to make up
for the wrong he had done US. I
told him that he was forgiven and
I'd be willing to go ahead and live
with him. Well, haven't seen him
since. What do you make of it?
Ans: The trouble with your
husband is that he places the inter-
ests of his own people before those
of his wife and baby. All three of
you could live very happily under
one roof if there were no kin peO-
pie to interfere. AS it is, you can
not hope to patch up this marriage
under the setup that now exists.
See that he continues to support
the child.
R. C.-With all my heart I sure
want my 1912 Astrology Reading
and I will send for it Friday. Last
summer I met a tall, dark and
handsome boy. He seems to be
very nice so far. He says he loves
me. But he doesn't show it. Pm
beginning to love him. But I don't
want to waste my love on some
one who doesn't love me. He wants

me and I want him but he is shy.
Do you think he loves me? I got
to know.
Ans: There's more than one
reason for his shyness. In the first
place, he is not a good matrimonial
prospect for the reason that he is
not able to support a wife. Be-
sides he's the kind who will
hesitate a long time before taking
on a wife with a ready-made fam
lily. If it's a husband you are
searching for better start max
ing new friends.
F. C. B.-I received your address
by a friend and I am always glad
to hear from someone who can
help me in advice and success. You
were highly recommended by a lot
of people I know. I want to know
if I will have luck in buying this
place where I am at now? I want
to buy this place.
Ans: A man of your high char
acter and good credit standing will
have no difficulty in arranging a
loan to buy this place. It's the one
sure way you can hope to accumu-
late something in life. Make a loan
application at once. You should
have invested in a home of your
own years ago, but there's no time
like the present to make that down
payment.

Hello Folks:

This week | have secured some
thing a little different than usual,
an interview with CANADA LEE,
the famous actor who has the lead
ing role of Bigger" Thomas in the
play NATIVE SON" which is be-
ing presented this week at the Ly-
ceum Theatre in Minneapolis and
st. Paul Auditorium in st. Paul.
After talking with Mr.. Lee for
a while, 1 came to the conclusion
that he is what one might call a
rather quiet person, but very soci-
able and personable. He is an ac-
complished pianist and 1 do mean

more than passivey to the death of many a Jap. One story tells of woman with bound feet who, when captured by Jap officer, strangled him one night with the bandages taken off her feet. Arl- other concerns a Chinese village where the Japs molested the younger women and girls. The victims mothers and mothers-in- laws, armed with axes and meat choppers, surprise the Japs in the dead of the night and hacked the entire garrison to pieces.
 Of course spying and retalia- tion are not the only ways in which China's women are helping their men fight the invader. Some are taking active roles, like the army of nearly 150,000 who are helping rush to completion the India -to- China highway which will replace the Burma Road as China's supply artery.
 GIRL SINGERS
 BOOST MORALE
 Others are turning their special talents to keeping their guerrilla soldiers in high spirits. There is one group of five girls in north- west China who have formed a band of songsters and who risk their lives every night to sneak through the lines to secret guer- rilla camps, where they entertain the Chinese with songs and plays.
 Chinas movie actresses are also doing their bit on the morale front at the front. When the Japs moved into the east coast movie centers, these beauties formed a band to tour the fighting lines and bring amusement and courage to the Chinese soldiers who for five years have shown the Japs that China will be free.

China's Girl CuerriIIas Have Japs Literally Flirting With Death
BY MA serVlce


 Mata Hari, World War Is most famous woman spy, wouldn't rate sven passing notice in China today. Today China has whole army Of Mata Harris, a secret corps of women Ill ages who, through Q multitude of ruses, have ltIfed countless thou sands of Japanese to their deaths, according to reports received by the United China Relief office in New York.
 There has been a place in this secret army for women of~an ages and talents-from former Chinese hascreen beauties to old, peasant washerwomen. The young, pretty girls carry out the role in which Matt Hari herself won semileg- endary renown. They have acted as decoys inside occupied China, where the Chinese guerrillas have made countless raids to get ammunition and to sabotage Jap-held property. HOW GIRLS
 LURE LAPS
 The system is simplicity itself. The guerrillas find a spot where Jap endorsements are expected to pass on the way to the front The girls then get in their gayest finery, dressed literally to kill, and wait in fields by the roadside for the Japanese troops. When the soldiers come marching down the road, the Mata Harris start flirting with them, But as the Jap starts toward them, the girls coyly run 8 short distance further away = towards a clump of bushes. The Japs follow The girls go deeper into the bush. And there the waiting Chinese guerrillas neatly and quietly dispatch the would-be Romeos.
 A group of girls is not necessary for this spider-fly technique. A sk11- gle girl, engaged in such an inno- cent-seeming occupation as driving COWS to pasture, can ambush a Jap or two using the same technique.
 Women from every walk of life, with e myriad of talents, have contributed to the downfall of the Sons of Nippon. A professors wife, for example, risks death daily inside 8 large city in occu- pied China, to run secret kitchen for the guerrillas who are every where in the town.
 No one is too old to help. El- derly Chinese women who wash their clothing in roadside streams have been one of the most valu- able sources of military intelli- gence about Jap troop move- ments in the occupied areas. They wash and watch by day, send runners through the lines with information at night.
 OLD WOMEN
 ACT AS SPIES
 Other women, too old for active fighting, are playing invaluable roles as guards for the hidden west pocket" industries that make arms and ammunition for the guer- rilals under the very noses of the enemy. Placing themselves in strategic parts of town, these old ladieO keep sharp watch for Jap searching parties. When the soldiers get too close, the women tip off the secret arsenals so that if the Japs inspect home or shop, 1t looks like nothing more than that.

ARMY COMMENDS
STATE WAR VET
LINCOLN RESIDENT is LAUDED
FOR PERFECTING NIGHT
RIFLE TECHNIQUE

John A. Roos of Lincoln, a veteran
Of World war l, has won commenda-
ton from Robert T. Patterson, under
secretary of war, for developing a
technique for rifle firing at night that
has been found successful and adopted
by the army.
A letter from Patterson to Senator
James E. Murray Of Montana. a copy
of which has been received by Roos,
explains that Roos' system was tested
at Fort Benning. Ga, and produced
about 60 percent Of hits on a given
size target, whereas previously a sys-
tenn Of simply pointing in the targets
direction and firing had obtained only
20 percent Of hits.
Patterson added that Roos' plan was
primarily adaptable to night fighting
by snipers. and not for general use
in training infantry riflemen in firing
at night.
II am very glad to note that your
recommendations are being adopted,
and I wish to compliment you on this
service you have rendered to the gov
ernment," Senator Murray said in a
letter to Roos.
Roos explained he had evolved the
system for night firing while he was
in service during World war /.
mo one would listen to me them"
he added.

STATE FARMERS
CHANGE MINDS
MOST OF THEM NOW WANT JAPA.
NESE IMPORTED TO BOOST
SUPPLY OF LABOR

An abrupt about face" in the atti-
tude Of Montana farmers toward en-
ploying Japanese evacuees from Pa
cific coast states has resulted from
potential agricultural labor shortages
and the need for record-breaking food
production to aid the nations war
effort.
Gov. Sam c. Ford said that recently
letters and petitions have come from
every section Of the state asking i'm
portation Of Japanese as farm laborers
except from Cascade. Deer Lodge and
Powell counties, whereas a month ago
"the faintest suggestion of the use Of
Japanese from coastal areas on farms
in the state was sufficient to raise a
storm Of protest.
NOW" Governor Ford said, "our
farmers are asking for help in order
to produce record-breaking food crops.
There has been very decided change
in the attitude of Montana agricul-
turists on the use of Japanese in the
past 80 days"
In the Missoula area, reports indi-
Gated, practically every beetgrower
wants japanese labor. with western
Montana farmers now facing a 20 per-
cent labor shortage in the slack late
winter season, a shortage that may
grow to some so percent in the plant
ing. growing and harvesting seasons.
Billings and eastern Montana points
have shown similar interest in Japa-
nese workers for the beet fields.
