Neptune is in threatening sway but there is a sign presaging good news regarding the war. HEART AND HOME: Housekeep-' ers may find this rather a con- | fusing day for planning neocessary autumn changes. It is'a lucky date for signing leases and better for planning than for executing the ar- ranging ‘of new homes. Whatever simplfies routines in what is called daily drudgery will contribute to | the comfort of the family. Neces- | {sary restrictions in the scale of | domestic spending will be fortun- | ate under this configuration. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Manufac- turers of airplanes come under a marvelous direction of the stars.! Late today there may be reports! of great success for American |bombers and fighters who engage ‘m history-making battes.” There are signs read as presaging for our | machinery and late inventions tre- | mendous demands that mean for- | tunes in the future as miracles are accomplished by what has been | termed Yankee ingenuity. While | this is the machine age it is to merge into an electronic age in| which marvels will be accomplished | and an era of human bettermenu assured. NATIONAL ISSUES: According ' to the seers the fall elections of 1942 -wil compel reforms that elim- | inate certain old-time methods of choosing officeholders. An awak- ened public will demand ability and the sort of patriotism that, ! |combined with high character, as- | sure ' unselfish service. Thorough { qualifications for those who are entrusted with the large scale busi- | ness of the people will be required. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Siberia will continue prominent in | the war news. August has been designated by astrologers as a month marking “finis” to the suc- cesses of the Japanese. From this | time on they are to feel the might of the Uniteq Nations. When de- feat is fully accomplished it will almost extinguish the ambitious brown men whe have been pre-| paring for conflict for more than forty years.

With a day ideal for mountain climbing, snowballing parties were held in the snow banks on the s’heep Creek Mountains and a number dropped down to the Persevifance Mine to return fo town over the old mine road. Among the children who reached the top of the mountain were Mary Simpkins, aged 9': years and Jim Pegues, aged 6'; years. Barbara Simpkins, aged 6 years, Phyllis and Billy Friend reached the second post from the top, having com- pleted the most difficult part of the climb, and then stopped. Many picnic suppers were enjoyed at the various resting places. ' In honor of the young people who were leaving soon for school in the States, a special service was given in fhe Presbyterian Church.

The day was spent fishing and ehjoying a pleasant outing. Mrs. Nels Anderson, of Douglas, accompanied by her daughter, Sophia, left on the Queen for a round trip to Sitka and way ports. Ralph Waggoner, son of the Rev. and Mrs. David D. Waggoner, was to leave on the Princess Alice on his way to Parkville, Missouri, where he was to enter Park College.
