Statement from Auto Association.

Redwood Falls, Mimi, Oct. 20, 1909
To whom it may concern: The idea
seems to be prevalent that one of
the purposes Of the Redwood Coun-
ty Automobile Association is to help
fight the battles of its members
wlan accidents occur. We wish
enpaatically to state that such is
not the case. Each man must stand
for himself in accordance with the
laws and the facts in the case.

HaIIey's Comet.

1t will be the most superb sight
that our generation has seen in the
heavens.
First seen by DR.. Max Wolf at
Heidelberg on September II, it will
become visible to the unaided
eye, and by January or
February will be splendid object.
The comet is named from the Eng
lish astronomer Haley. who died in
1742, after long life of acute scien-
tifc observations. He was first to
foretell the return Of a comet, and
this comet is the one whose return,
in 1859, he confdentially predicted;
and it did return. 1t comes every
IS years.
Halley's comet, therefore, taught.
the world that comets are subject to
the law Of gravitation, and are not
the wild wanderers they had been
imagined.
This comet has a recorded history
of about 1000 years.
1t was the fiery sword hanging
over Rome that portended the death
of Agrippa.
1t famed, terrible omen, above
Jerusalem in A. D 65, just before
Titus destroyed the Holy City.
In 1866 it was William, the Con-
queror's oriflamme.
In 1456 it filled Europe with ter
ror of the Turk, who had just seized
Constantinople; and the Pope order
ed prayers for safety from ''the
Turk and the comet"
1t was last seen in 1885. when it
was visible for nine and
a half months, and attained a length
of one-third the space from horizon
to zenith
Since then it has been out in space
3.400, 600, 900 miles from the sun. It
is now about 500, 900, 900 miles away
and will come within 4,50O, 900 miles
of US. Just now it is in the constel-
lation Orion, near Gemini; only, you
need a fine telescope to see it.
But wait a while.

AS TO ORIGIN OF THE SPOON.
Shelle Probably First Used for Pur-

Ibe suggestion Is offered by cor
respondent that the domestic spoon
probably owes It's origin to tho shell
Shells OF the mussel scallop. and oy-
ster, II Is believed. were used In pre-
historic times as spoons and ladies',
the handle being formed of a piece
of wood split at one end to hold the
shell firmly. Some savage nations
make similar spoons up to the present
day. and the old Highland custom OF
Offering whisky In a shell has been
probably handed down from genera

Spoon. gives Roman specimens, which
are very simple In dcsign-something
like silver caddy spoons-and are
much shorter In the handle than those

were generally made OF bronze. iron
