Venus, with her soft- ening influence, her love of peace, her pleading for justice without con- flict, will be the guiding influence Ten Ear Samples. Ten ear samples will be submitted by the contest entrants, éxcept in re- stricted single ear classes. Each entry will compete, not only for the grand class’ prize but also for distr.ct prizes, Mr. Will announcea. Several banks in the state have an- nounced that they will give special cath prizes for tne best corn entered | jeading this country into ce ties A Gines ene nitueicemnehowawillaane ed by Libra in the house of law and partnerships, which will give both people and natjons clearer vision, better understanding. The scales of Justice will rule instead of the force of Mars. “Public finance will play » bie part in the adjustments to st and maintain peace. Saturn sits aa the cusp of the House of Money, in the horoscope for 1924, and through- out the world money will be slow and hard to get. It will be the major cause of contention. As to our own finances, the adjustment of the for- eign debt will be satisfactorily com- pleted if Secretary Hughes is en a free hand in Pike negotiations. Hughes has Mars in the House of Money, and if let alone he will get every dollar owed this cobntry. Reason for Prohibition Modification “The modification of prohibition is forecast by the influence of the moon in’ the House of Money and of Cancer, which rules beer and wines, ruling in midheaven. The movement which will result in the.return of beer and wines will begin next Ni vember or December and by 1926 beverages of low alcoholic content will again be permitted. “Mercury parallel to Jupiter will cause an unprecedented amount of travel during the year. It is a year of change, of restlessness, of transi- tion. There will be a hysteria of gambling, of betting on races—both horse and political. “The outstanding indication of the horoscope for 1924, however, is that the United States has come to a point of departure—a cross-roads—a criti- cal period in which there will be a careful balancing of the scales to determine which course to follow. ‘but Venus, Jupiter and Mercury pre- sent combinations that make it cer- tain the road chosen will be the one "| toward peace, Justice and. humanitar- anism. “This will bring a new growth in culture, ‘a revival in art and music and literature- beyond anything’ this nation has yet produced. There will be a more wholesome social growth, the development’ of a better social morale. Flapperism, scorn of con- ventions, the general slackening of social and moral lines will be checked and the nation and indeed the world definitely be started | ona period of sanity and progre: WILL MASSAGE Sen Luis Mude five kinds of Flint.

Indications are at the case will be one of the most thoroughly prepared cases involving Northwestern cconomic problems that ever has gone before the Inter- state body. A large part of the force of the| state railroad commission, on the order of Chairmay Frank Milhollan, is devoting its time to preparation of evidence to be introduced in the |, case. Other agencies are hard at work on it. ° It is considered likely that the joint hearing by an examiner for the} Interstate Commerce Commission and the state railroad commission will be held the latter part ‘of Feb: {ruary. Chairman Milhollay of the state commission desires that the first hearing be held in North Da- kota instead of at Aberdeen, S.
