ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR
In this matter of saving you must either take
advice of those who know or learn by your
experience that it does not pay to live right up
your income, spending every cent you earn, re-
gardless of that future which may not be such
time of prosperity for you as the present is.

Eclipse of Moon.
A total eclipse of the moon,
the seven eclipses to occur dur-
ing 1917, began Sunday night at
12:50 a. m. At that hour the
moon first came in contact with
the earth’s shadow and at 2 a.
m. it was entirely- within the
shadow. For one hour and
twenty-nine minutes the total
eclipse continued.
This year’s eclipses of the sun
and the raoou will be the great-
est number possible in any one
year. Not since 1787 have so
many occured and a like event
will not again be seen uutil 1982.

At an early hour Tuesday
morning fire destroyed eleven
frame business houses at Bogata.
It is thought that the conflagra-
tion started in a blacksmith shop
in the middle of the block. Bo
gata is without fire fighting ap-
paratus and the entire block
was wiped out, stopping only
when cross streets were reach-
ed. Among the businesses
destroyed were two restaurants,
a bakery, real estate office, shoe
and harness shop, and one build-
ing which was vacant.
