HOROSCOPE E "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
SUNDAY. OCTOBER 31

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 3l
 Benefic aspects rule today, but adverse influences are active in the afternoon. The evening should be favorable for meetings at which pub lie interests are discussed The patriotic note will be accented in church services.
 HEART AND HOME: Religion will take on universal meaning which unites persons of various faiths. In the new order, percep- ton of spiritual ideas will be more general than formerly among peo- pies of many nations. The barriers between this plane of consciousness and the next may be no longer inn penetrable. astrologers de cl re. There will be increasing reliance upon prayer on the part of Chris tians who make practical use of their belief in Divine power!
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The com ing days of the week should be favorable to trade and commerce. Agitation against tariffs and other laws affecting the free international exchange of products and raw ma terials will be prevalent through the Winter it is foretold. November will be most fortunate for many retail merchants, because there will be early buying for Christmas. Dealers in furs and in warm cloth ing will realize substantial profits.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Although the day of judgment for our Axis enemies may be far off, discussion of just punishment will be vide spread. Astrologers deplore any tendency to express the desire for revenge. They counsel. silence where there is the urge to express bitter denunciation. While stern sentences must be pronounced on the men responsible for horrible crimes of persecution, murder and wholesale robbery, the seers declare that the stars presage. for many tragic ends which result automat- ically from their careers of plunder and bloodshed. Hate must not be .nurtured by the nations who fight for liberty and human progress.
 I INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s : Improved conditions in India are forecast for next month A political scandal is to shock Europe. Saturn and Mars eliminating in square to Neptune presages reign of ter TOT in eastern Europe With great precision United Nations plans fo1 invasion will continue to be carried out. Each week will prove con- clusively how wise was the slow but sure preparation for the com plete defeat of the Axis powers.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have Etfe augury of a year Of more thar average good fortune. It is import ant for both young and middle Jagged to be cautious in love affairs. Children born on this day prob- ably will be gifted and energetic fbut they may be inclined to resent direction or discipline They have splendid possibilities of success.

Many Students Are On Mid
Term Honor Roll; Sell
Christmas Seals

The West Jefferson School has
successfully completed the first
term of the school year.
During the spring term the high
school program will be revised
somewhat in order to include the
Victory Corps Program. This pro-
gram which is to further the war
effort will be in compliance with
the State Department of Instruc-
ton. The training will be funda-
mentally the same, except that
in some instances teaching will
be directed toward war time pur-
suits rather than peace time acti-
vities. 1T is hoped that by the
inauguration of the Victory Corps
Program more definiteness of
purpose can be added to the
school program" principal B. H.

German Catholic Bishops
To Discuss Air War
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Berlin radio said last night
that the air war would be discussed
by German Catholic bishops at
their annual conference at Fulda,
Germany, August 1919.
The Nazi broadcast, recorded by
the Associated Press, said "inhuen-
tial Catholic circles assert that this
will be one of the most important
conferences held by German bishops
during the last 20 years" and added:
Usually wen-informed Catholic
circles expect that the Fulda con-
ference, in an appeal to German
Catholics, will deal with the effects
of the air war.
"A leading Catholic minister ex-
pressed the viewpoint that leaders
OF the German Catholic clergy would
give up their hitherto-shown re-
serve and come out with a frank
statement on the question of air
war"
The broadcast said that 84-year-
old Cardinal Prince Bishop DR..
Adolf Bertram of Breslau would pre-
side at the conference.
