George Goos, florist of East Seven
ty-slxth street and Twenty-eighth av
enu, is a walking testimonial for the
public marlrel In general and the- Al-
bina publics market in particular.
None wiU gainsay Mr. Goos right to
praise the public market for It has
i taken wrinkles from his brow and put
money in the bank Tor him. And the
reason of all Is that Mr. Goos like
i most florists raises plants to Bell and
after . many unsuccessful attempts to
sell them to local seedsmen and whole-
i salers he finally found a market for
I them at the Albina public mart. -
"Think of it," he-said recently, "this
I spring I had 10,000 geranium - plants
- which I was hardly able to move. I
I sold about S00 of them tp local dealers
but' could not get rid of the rest. They
were in small 2ft inch pots and were
growing so fast I had to throw them
I out"
Mr. Goos was blue, positively ultra
marine. He complained to his bank
: about poor business conditions- but
they could do nothing. They welcomed
his account, but they could think
of no market for his 10,000 geraniums.
He left the bank a very blue man, al
most navy blue.
Then he began thinking. Here he
had 10,000 geraniums and 3000 fuch
slas on his hands and 10,000 plus S000
equals 13,000. He was absolutely In.
digo. : ....
But presto! Comes a neighbor, who
being a booster, tells him of .the Al
bina public market. Mr. Goos had, an
idea, an inspiration. He would dispose
of his plants at the public market. He
was there bright and', early the next
morning; he has been there every day
since. And sssh! the next week he put
$105 In the bank. Even the receiving
teller lost his grouch.
Dealers around town had offered
him 1 cents for the plants but at the
I public market he got five cents, a
nickle. half a dime.
And Incidentally Mr. Goos is blue no
longer. He has changed form the deep-
black blue advertised so extensively in
writing inks to a beautiful iridescent
pink, the flush of happiness.

Frank J. -You are aggressive. In
clined to be independent, yet generous,
sympathetic and kind, a great lover
of the refined and beautiful, with de
cided . and intense affections. - You
have a very favorable horoscope for
success and marriage, . especially In
middle life; not often males marry
early with aspects like yours. A pro
fessional life would suit you best, al
though -you would succeed in straight
business lines. ' '
...A. -- Lb Your chart denotes . change
and some difficulties in health and of
trouble -with papers or letters. ' It is
rather an important year for business
Issues, satisfactory in the end. Dis
turbances in domestic issues have pre
vailed. ;
C. S. You are very decided in what
ever you undertake, very forgiving,
yet careful and cautious In dealings
with people. You make friends easily
and -readily, yet there appears around
you more or less antagonism and re?
sponsiblllty. Things that is. the good
things do hot break easily for you.
Success would come hard. A life of
many reverses and ups and downs, yet
surviving it all and coming now into
some of the best prospects you . have
had. i
March . Bird.- You have energy .and
ability and could not be kept In the
rear long, unless it be through the af
fections or health, which at certain
periods t threaten, though not to seri
ously involve you. , The present time
is favorable for any new venture.

pecially. G. . D. R. An Impulsive, determined,
very aggressive type is evidenced, one
with, excellent, prospects, perhaps a
little too sensitive, very decided in
opinions, with fine business acumen;
further, a versatile, resourceful person
There are some evidences presently
that will temporarily embarrass affairs,
as .illness and some trouble around or
with relatives. The same is evident
in the wife's chart. If there are any
domestic differences, they should come
to a head. I am not positive as to the
latter aspect, without more careful
study. -
Mc. You are of an independent,
restless, ambitious temperament; re
sourceful, quick in grasping details
and in getting results; of a speculative
temperament, taking chances; one sub
ject to pronounced successes, followed
by a collapse. Domestic Issues mean
much or little to you. In other words,
you have not the best horoscope for
i permanency of affections,
e
t, Centennial. You failed to state sex
or birth- hour, therefor I hesitate to
give forecast.
Delia M. Crosses In health and af.
fections appear, at. times in a serious
sense. Yet eliminate the latter, which j
are borrowed troubles,, and you would ;
prosper -In many ways. You have a
very strong nature: your demands in
this. respect are many and subject to
crosses. : You have plenty of ability,
are very diplomatic, strong in your
convictions. , as a , rule outspoken in
this respect. . You "are approaching to
a very-favorable aspect by 19 1.
E. TV Yours Is a type that attracts
friends easily, but from your own sex,
and at times the other, many disap
pointments. - You are ' naturally for
tunate In other affairs. -Yet for early
attachments or marriage, I question
the success of such. You are youthful
in ' mind and body and attract the
younger people. Were you unmarried
you would marry a younger man.
Sam. A very ' aggressive, strong
personality is evident. You ' attract
older .men and women. For an early
marriage or affair the horoscope evi
dences trouble or disappointment. For
business you have fine ability and
discernment and would succeed splen
didly in any position of command. You
are subject to sudden reverses and accidents.-
' !
Mr. W. A. R.--You should have met
with . success thus far, as very favor
able conditions prevail; yet yon are
not' free from crosses or backsets.
There are suggestions of Injury, etc.,
evidenced, as well as being Involved
with , persons of a tricky or deceitful
type, that would injure. You are Im
pulsive, a good diplomat, of splendid
judgment when you reflect or study
over things, very conscientious natu
rally, and gain more by being honest
and outspoken, than trying to deceive
You-would gain in deals in . land.
mines, stock, etc.
Mrs. O. A. R. Tour personality Is
your best asfiet, although coupled with
an intelligence and strong force of
character and especially . fine reason
lng power, the issues of life will be
well handled and could never be very
serious crosses caused by arbitrary
temperamental expressions of your
making.
Unlucky. Your temperament and
ways of thinking and reasoning have
much to do with your sorrows. I . can
see no reason why you. are unlucky,
as many aspects evidence the reverse.
True, there are conditions thef will
arise to . cause financial and other
troubles, especially environment. Your
chart is favorable for a good marriage
and gains thereby later.1 .
B. One that has heavy responsibili
ties to meet .and to handicap. You
have a naturally fine disposition, and
with things going smooth would hardy
ly have an outward expression, f un'
kindness. You make friends readily
and would naturally lead in any call
ing. - Radical changes are in order th'.a
year. .. - . ;
. F. You have had very - evil plan
etary aspects to deal with, affecting
home, health or finance. You have
an attractive personally, great firm
ness of purpose and these elements of
disposition have helped you. But I
have to repeat that you have had
many things to contend with and this
year, like the above, important changes
are in order.

"A number of applications for pen

allowing worthy widows the pension,
the "case committee" and the court
have arranged to furnish free, through
the cooperation of the Associated
Charities, medical and dental attention
and the school authorities furnish
school books for the children.
"The system of administering this

2. " 'If the workman leaves no wife
or husband but a child or children un-1
der the age of 16 years, a monthly pay-
ment of $15 shall -be made to each
child until such child shall reach the
age of i6 years? provided, however.
that if any child is under me age oi
16 years and over the age of 15 years,
he shall be entitled to recover such
payments for a period of one year,
but the total monthly payment shall
not exceed $50, and any deficit shall
be deducted proportionately among the
beneficiaries.',
" : "I would recommend tnat this iaw
be amended so that fathers who are
committed to the penitentiary should
reimburse the county the amount paid
by the county to the mother, as the
state receives the benefit of the con
victs' labor. Also that instead of al
lowing a certain sum for each child,
that a. maximum sum be fixed for
each family, the amount to.be allowed
In each case 'to depend upon the con
dl tions of the family. ' The widow's"
pension department and the county
board of relief should be under one
head. There are many cases where
the children need the benefit of such
a law such as : Illegitimate , children
and- children ! who have been deserted
by their father. - vf -
I -understand there Is. a movement
on foot to abolish this widows -pen
sion law. It does not seem possible
that any right minded Individual could
wish to deprive , the deserving widow
of this small pittance which will pre
vent the mother and children from be-
in k seDarated: this pittance which will
undoubtedly have the effect of making
better citizens and ; of lessening f u
1 tore crime." .- u -. - -
