WHAT THE STARS PREDICT This is a fortunate day as most of the planets are friendly. It is a fortunate role for those who seek employment or favors of any kind. - Women come under a specially favorable sign and they will likely have success in any undertaking today. The depression of the post-war period will yield to a wave of extravagance and desire for amusements, the stars indicate. Persons whose birthdate this is will have a happy success- ful year. Children born today will be affectionate and very popular. (Copyright, 1919, by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) COMPETITION IN GOOD WORK Experiment Tried by Group of West Virginia Towns Has Proved of Advantage to All. Citles at least have the stimulus to make improvement whether :hey do so or not. The village and rural community lack the stimulation that comes through contact with the out- side world. It is not surprising to find them narrow and unprogressive. A unique experiment along the line of community betterment has been in progress for two years in 23 small West Virginia communities. A sys- tem of points is used to score commu- nity progress, 1,000 being a perfect score. Nine general headings wnre used to cover the field of community development — history, ~government, business, farms, clubs, homes, schools, churches and health.

The leaves of the fern plant, which grows almost everywhere, are excel- lent preservatives for packing food, fruit and even meat. Potatoes packed in fern leaves are as fresh in the springtime as when they were first dug in the winter.
