. HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compeP'
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER -

| WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER IL
Benefic planetary aspects rule on
his. thirteenth day of the month
which should be lucky for all who
have initiative and the faith TO en-
gage in constructive work. IS
HEART AND HOME: Women are
well directed under this configura-
ton. Girls will find the evening
suspicious for romance. Under TINS
rule of the stars Summer love at
fairs. are likely to become serious.
This is favorable date for starting
in any new line of employment, but
there is a sign that is read as unfor-
sunate for women who must neglect
home duties for any line OF public
service or for any war industry task.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: According
to certain seers the future OF agrl-
culture in the United States is to be
wonderfully successful. Les S on
learned in war emergencies will
prove of great value to American
farmers who will develop the same
sort of efficiency which has attend
ed the expansion of big business:
Machinery is to be used even more
generally than in the past and
science is to contribute greatly to
the filling of land. Certain ideas
will be borrowed from Russia.
NATIONAL ISSUES: After hard
service in the World War thousands
of our young men will return to the
United States with an understand
ing of the meaning of universal
brotherhood, revealed to them as
they faced death in the air, on the
seas and in foreign lands. They
will expect that true democracy will
be prevalent in the United States.
Astrologers warn that there must be
no more race consciousness or class
consciousness when the new order
Is established after wholesale de-
struction of life in the greatest of
all conflicts Old feuds and ancient
prejudices must be eliminated now,
they declare.
INTERNATIONAL A AIR S ::
Retribution for the horrible suffer-
ings inflicted upon nations invaded
by the Axis powers will be near in
many unexpected quarters. AS vic
tory is assured for the United Ma
tions and liberation comes to the
oppressed, aid will be given effect
! lively by victims of the dictators.
Incalculable help will await our
forces wherever Commands have
operated, but it will come also from
oppressed civilians who have pa
tiently awaited their opportunities
The stars presage reckless courage
among women as well as men.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of exceptional
good fortune. Promotion and fame
will come to women and men in
the war.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be lucky all through life
For them thirteen will be magic
number Talents and brains will
be their heritage.

water supply sc dsed under these
conditions.
The rice plant does not require
high humidity, if there is an abun-
dance of irrigation water. 1t
thrives in dry heat as in irrigated
rice fields of the Nile and Sacra-
mento valleys Rice thriVes on
some decidedly alkaline soils which
will improve for other crops by
rice cultivation as the water re-
moves some of the alkali after each
IRRIGATION. Some varieties endure
considerable concentration of COM
mon salt. Many hundred thousands
of acres of alkaline soil have been
reclaimed by rice cultivation ana
made useful for the growing OF
other crops Rice, in other words,
because of its aquatic nature, has
an automatic teaching effect. The
rice acreage constitutes 73 per cent
to IS per cent of the total acreage
in Northeastern India, 65 per cent
to 85 per cent in the Indo-Chinese
peninsula. as per cent in Java and
Japan, and ~ per cent in South
ern China. While in the United
States, for example, rice is culti-
vated in essentially the same man
ner as wheat, oats or barley, except
that the crop is irrigated, the
methods of cultivation and growing
rice in Asiatic countries are quite
district from the methods used in
the United States.
Here farm machinery is used eX-
tensively; even harvesting is COM
monty done with a combine which
cuts. threSheS and sacks the rice
in one operation, while seeding is
done to a great extent by airplane.
In contrast, very little machinery is
used in Asiatic rice producing coun-
tries. Harvesting and threShing
are usually done by hand with the
! aid of the most primitive devices.
/ Paddy fields as a rude are SO small
! that even if machinery were avail
able, it would be impractical To
use it in most instances, because of
the reduced size of the paddy fields.
The bulk of the worlds rice crop
is transplanted by hand from care
fully prepared seed beds to the
paddy field.

Bond Money Buys Guns

County Chairman Gordon Scriv-
en- ana his staff of diligent workers
have truly put Imperial Valley over
the top in the districts war bond
sale.
During the months of unceasing
effort the committee has sold to
valley residents bonds and stamps
t0taling 81 807 ,6l3 in value and has
staged c lebrations and rallies that
have laid the groundwork for un-
told future sales. During the sale
period that ended December 81, war
bonds totaling 81 per cent Of the
districts quota were sold, while the
Southern California average was
only 81 per cent of Quota.
MANY WORKERS
Scriven has had n.arJ abe and
willing workers assisting him in
the campaign and much of the re-
sponsibility in directing the drive
has been taken from his shoulders
by Ben Herring, county secretary.
All valley communities have re-
sponCed remarkably to the bond
drive and the enthusiasm shown by
the district as whole was brought
about largely through the long
hours of work turned in by city
chairnen.
Chairman of the campaign in Ell
Centre is Ross HickcoX, who has
played an outstanding role in the
citys drive. He has guided va

keen interest in the work as a
