Take a Lesson From HALEY.

In the tale of Sir John HALEY, the
most famous Astronomer of the 18th
century, we can all take a lesson.
John HALEY, the son of a poor
cobbler of Nassau Street of East
Liverpool, England, from a boy of
six used to while away his time on
the clear nights star-gazing. He
was moon-struck" so the neighbors
said, but nevertheless, he kept on
star-gazing, seeking out the vanish
ing forms of life in the Milky Way
of Mystery. His theory was that
falling or shooting stars were not
simply vanishing phantoms of
mementary existance but substantial
bodies that revolved on an imaginary
circuit which took them a given
number of years to cover, therefore,
after keen observation and study,
when the Comet appeared now
known as "Halley's Comet" he
made this announcement and proved
it after unceasing work and argu-
ment with the scientific world and
entirely revolutionized the world of
Astronomy. Perseverance - that
was all; that's what wins out every
time-perseverance or sticktoitive-
ness. If you have got it you are
going to get there, that's all you
need to win in this battle of votes
the Bemidji Pioneer has inaugerated.
Enter your name today and set to
work gathering votes. Stick to it.
Make up your mind you are going
to get there-your perseverance will
make you win.
