From a Correspondent
Those who take astrology seri-
ously' and who love and fear the
prophecies of astrologists will be
interested in an old astronomical
prophecy of the seventeenth cent-
ury regarding the present great
war According to its prediction
the war will end August 28 1917
The Revue de Ciel states that a
manuscript written in the seven-
teenth century is now in posses-
sion of Chevalier Monto director
of the Civic Museum of Como
The following is a translation
of this instrument
“When the first number shall
meet the ninth and when - they
two shall be united with the first
and the sixth (1916) during the
sixth month of the year (August
according to the old calendar)
and after two times four and two
times ten days shall have passed
(August 2S) and the new races
which draw their names from
Romulus (Roumania) shall rise
and shall ally themselves with
Powerful nations Then the fierce
easts who for two years and one
month (exact date of the begin-
ning of the war) has been filling
all the earth with blood with
horor and with carnage now sur-
rounded smitten from all sides
and roaring in vain shall seek
whom he may devour but shall
not find him
“There shall be new battles
while new moons shall wane and
wane thirteen times
“The fith day after the sun
leaves the sign of the lion the
beast shall die of a fearful death
“A vigin whose name contains
two iolas two alphas a tau and a
bambda ( Italian ) shall crush his
head and the Latin peoples shall
shame his spoils”
A good half of the prediction is
already accomplished we shall
see if the remainder will conform
to the beginning
The article continues:
“The 28 of August 1916 was
new moon and the thirteenth
thereafter falls on August 17
1917 So when thirteen new
tnoons have set we shall be at the
17th of August of this year”
The war would end then in the
moon which extends from the 17
of August to the 16 of September
1917 At what date?
That point the second part of
the prophecy determines
The sun this year leaves the
sign of the lion on August 23
The fifth day thereafter brings us
to the 28 of the same month That
is according to the author the
day which is to mark the end of
the war and it is at least curious
to note that a scholar living three
or four centuries ago has been
thus able to determine two astro-
nomical circumstances
Events will tell us whether the
prophet was right and whether
really the present war will come
to an end on the 28th of August
of this year

Todays Storm Does
Much Damage
Iffhe storm today brought the
usual weekly rain and withitsome
hail In the immediate Vicinity of
Helena the hail was light also to
the east and north but south on
the ridge it was the heaviest and
most damaging in years A strip
of country estimate I at two to
seven miles and extending from
south of McWillie to as far east as
could bk reached owing to the bad
condition of telephone lines At
the Glidewell farm reported a loss
of between eighty and ninety per-
cent and this seems to be about
the usual percent of loss in the
ridge country Jap Ent reports a
loss of between fifty and sixty per-
cent Without a cent of Insurance
Most of the wheat though is in-
sured for as much as ten dollars
per acre which in many cases will
only Cover about one fourth of a
total loss should the yield and
price remain what was expected
A report from the Coleman or-
chards say the fruit is not damag-
ed the hail there being very light
The fain amounted to 80 of an
inch without much wind From
the best reports obtainable the
damage extended south ( into ' the
Ringwood country and likely east
to Meno Further than this note-
ports are obtainable
Enid had a report today that
Carmeh was blown awaylnactorm
today but this is not confirmed
A report was also brought to this
place by railroad men that Perry
suffered considerable damage from
a storm there this afternoon —

Odd Fellows Visit Cannes Home
When a few of the members of
the Odd Fellows order decided to
hold a picnic dinner on the
grounds at their orphans home at
Carmen last Sunday they hardly
thought they were starting such a
big thing as it eventually proved
to be A Custer City maq started
it when he decided the time was
opportune for a few-of the mem-
bers over the country to get to-
gether and visit with the orphans
and hold a basket dinner on the
grounds of the home there The
actual result of the movement was
the running of a special trainfrom
Altus Lone Wolf and Custer
bearing over eleven hundred peo-
ple Besides this the intermediate
towns and the country for miles
around contributed visitors swell-
ing the throng to between six and
seven thousand persons Editor
Salter of the Headlight said he
estimated the number of carson the
grounds during the day-at over a
thousand A great many of them
were family cars loaded with from
three to seven and eight people
Two bands one from Custer and
one from Clinton were present It
was strictly an informal affair and
the visitors thronged the building
and grounds inspecting everything
from the basement to the garret
of the big building The gather-
ing was supposed to be of Odd
Fellows and their families but it
seemed as tho the whole country
was there An effort was made to
keep a traffic officeratthe junction
south of the building to show cars
where togo but it was too much
for any one person and several
tried it and failed owing to the
rush However no serious acci-
dents are reported and the big
crowd was orderly to adegree that
made regulation unnecessary
This gathering is one instance
that proves the changes wrought
by the introduction of the motor
car into the -social life of the coun-
try The day was perfect and
people who had cars simply used
them to go to Carmen It is said
that nothing like it ever happened
before in the history of the Home
and everybody appeared to be
suprised at the number of vehicles
qnd the crowd There was an
excellent program by the children
of the Home part of it in the fore-
noon and part of it in the after-
noon Rev Bingman of Carmen
made the principal address D L
Aikens of the Home Board also
made an address I f Carmen
needed any advertising this cer-
tainly filled the bill Everybody
and his family were there
C A Scott Instantly Killed
C A Scott an old time resident
here was instantly killed at the
Orient crossing Thursday morning
by the north bound local train as
he was attempting to cross I the
tracks with hi3 Ford machine The
machine had just reached the cen-
ter of the track when itwasstruck
by the engine it was carried twenty-five
yards or more along the
side of the track turned over sev-
eral times and the unfortunate
man was thrown from the car end
death was almost instantaneous
Before anyone reached the scene
of the accident he was dead
Mr Scott was coming to work
from his home west of town and
evidently did not sec the train ap-
ronching as witnesses who saw
im are of the opinion that this
must have been the case There
is no obstruction at this point and
a train could have boon plainly
seen fiom either direction
Engineer A1 Golletly was driving
the train and says that he did
everything possible to stop How-
ever Mr Gollctlv says that he saw
the car approaching but supposed
it would Mop before reaching the
tracks That the car simply drove
on the track ahead of the train
and that nothing could have avert-
ed the accident underthepecircUm
stances
The automobile is ft total Wreck
and damaged beyond repair The
compact between the train and the
car was so great that the step from
the engine was tom off
The body was found lying some
twenty-five feet herth of the car
The feet were lying upon the track
and it was lying fare down It
was taken to the Undertaking es
tftblishment here at cfit'e
The deceased was about sixty
years of age and had resided here
some ten years or mote He leave
besides a wife seven children to
mourn his loss
The children away from home
have been notified and the funeral
arrangements have not yet been

A Good Move
Every once in awhile something
eaks out which leads one to be-
lieve that in sending our boys Into
the army or navy is just the same
as sending them into the foulest
dives in the large cities The
frequency of such information has
caused a decided sentiment ftgainsf
allowing saloons and other places
of vice to flourish in certain limits
contiguous to camps which senti-
ment seems happily to be gaining
ground Just what steps are be-
ing taken by congress and the
president to prohibit brothels be-
ing established in connection with
army training camps is not defi-
nitely known but if the sentiment
of the parents is taken into con-
sideration their boys will not be
subject to influences tending to
insult their manhood and dignity
as well as the dignity ofthenation
Efficiency does not call for associ-
ations with questionable Characters
in any degree and the congress
of law makers will do Well to take'
into consideration the demands of
the civil population with regard to
this matter The Kansas govern-
or is going after the matter in no
uncertain way His example
should be emulated by every other
governor In the whole country
The Leader expects to send out
statements to all those owing

Business Good Over Country
"It is more than strange to
note the undisturbed tenor of
general business in the midst of
war’9 alarm’s” This is the sig-
nificant statement made by Archer
Wall Douglas in the latest issue
of "The Nation’s Business”' of-
ficial organ of the Chamber of
Commerce ot the United States
‘ Despite the fact that this nation
is face to face with the greatest
uncertainties and unrest mount-
ing to a crisis the American
business man backed by a great
American public is keeping
business in a reasonably settled
condition
It is tboughtthecoordinatioaof
the efforts of the producer dis-
Uitutor and the consumer that
this valued situation is made
possible Despite the urgent
imatent and purposful campaigns
'for thrift and economy the
American public has sensed the
true meaning of it til and it has
risen to the occasion
Less tkpagbtful and intelligent
publics might easBy be lead to
bring economic disaster upon the
heels of a con tit: nous Campaign
fof thrift and economy through
selfish hoarding and stringent
reversion to primitive living
Net so with our people particu-
larly wc uf tbe great Southwest
It is true that during the first
few weeks following the actual
declaration of war there was
tendency to the most rigid
economy This made it felt in a
commercial way throughout thl
countfy However with t h
first excitement eased down there
became established a gratifying
common-sense program of eCono-
my —that of judicious spending
with thought ot tomorrow
This is the real source and
sustaining power of prosperous
commercial activity
