A V Four Eclipses Washington, Dec. 31 -- Four eclipses of the sun and three of` the moon, the greatest number possible in a single year, will- occur in 19i7, according to a memorandum issued yesterday by Naval Observatory. The last `year in which seven eclipses {came was early in the last cen- tury and the next will be in 1935. On January 8 there will be a to- tal eclipse of the moon, visible throughout the United States. Yellow Bullies The Parry Sound Star says,- .A bright: young manager of a certain store` in town has made the discovery that advertising does not pay. Bright young man that, but he would he better _in khaki than threateningr: to heat up a man old enough to be his grandfather. Probably his courage is equal to his vision, and the only time he is not real |yel1ow is when bullying old men and children. - There are one or two of those yellow fellows in every community. -- Collingwood Enterprise.
