STATEMENTS CONCERNING
HALLEY'S COMET
Which Has Made Us A Call Once
In Seventy-Five Years

Many people see the comet once;
many more never have chance to
see it once; q few people see it twice
but no one ever sees it thrice.
The comet has the big head, /" over
two hundred thousand miles in diameter
or twenty five times as large as the
earth.
The comet has curved tail about
thirty million miles in length.
The best time to see the comet in the
morning will be from May 10 to May l6
when 1T comes up tail first about an
hour before sunrise. After May Is it
may be seen in the western sky setting
after the sun.
The comet of 1871 had head a mil
lion miles in diameter. That of 1892
had head as big as Halley's and tail
one hundred million miles long and
spread out at the end twenty million
miles wide.
Watch for it Wednesday, May IS, at
that time the head will be nearest the
earth, only fourteen million miles away.
But look out for the switch of its tail as
the earth will pass through it on that
evening
HALEY was born in 1856 in England
and became great astronomer He OBJ
served this comet in 1852 and first calcu-
lated its course predicting that it would
return in 1853 or 1859 Ii did return on
Christmas Day 1888 but HALEY was not
here to see it, Its appearance has since
been traced back to 240 years before
Christ came into the world The comets
last appearance was in 1885 and its next
will be in 1885.

Thems Just Our Sentiments

We like to work and we like to see
others work, but we just arise to remark
that when we get to be worth as much
money as some we know, work with us
will cease We could never discover
why men sixty and seventy years of age
and worth from forty to one hundred
thousand dollars should continue to toll
from early until late and in all kinds of
weather. We like to see men provide
something for their family after they
are gone, but the average boy is better
off if not left too much property. You
who have labored your three score years
should stop work and enjoy life the few
short years you have left to remain with
us.-Walnut Bureau.
Now thems just our sentiments too
and just as soon as we get the hundred
thousand or even the half of it we shall
be eligible for retirement. In fact so
far as age is concerned we are qualified
now for life of ease and pleasure. And
we think that when all our delinquent
subscribers pay up what they owe and
a year in advance, we shall be financial
ly able to do so. We'd like to try it
anyway.

Twas A Glorious Rain

After long dry spell we have had q
glorious rain. Commencing Thursday
noon and continuing much of the time
until Saturday there was steady rain
that soaked into the ground where it
fell and put the soil in good condition
for planting. All vegetation has taken
on new life and renewed activity Had
it not been for the largequanity of water
stored in the ground from the heavy
rains last fall and the deep SHOWS of the
winter nothing would have grown this
spring March gave us only sprinkle.
April was the driest for twenty years.
In 1890 the rainfall in April was only
10 of an inch while this year it was
only 1.13 inches. April smashed the rec.
ord for hot weather. In the past thirty
years there was no April Day when the
thermometer went above 80 degrees.
This year on the 9th it went up to 80
and on the 2Sth rose to % degrees.

The Meeting Saturday Night

Owing to the rain storm on FRIDAY
the meeting appointed for that evening
was postponed until Saturday night.
Miss Mary Davis presided. Instrumen.
tai music was furnished by the little
Misses Weighton, Farquhar McIeran
who play we'll on the piano for such
little girls. DR.. Burnside made the first
address taking for his subject, School
Sanitation, discussing the need of care
FOR the eyes, ears, nose and throat. The
doctor made the point that whenever
pupil does not eat any breakfast il is
evidence that he is not i'm proper condi-
ton to attend school or that he may be
about taking down with some disease
and should therefore not go to school
until that matter is determined lest
others may be exposed to contagious
disease.
Miss Lura II. Phillips of Ames made
the principal address occupying about
forty-five minutes. She Is an entertaining
speaker both as to manner and subject
matter. She is connected with the ex-
tension course of the State College at
Ames, her work being to go out and ad
dress the schools particularly in regard
to the best methods of interesting the
boys and the girls in the real work of
school and life. Since the middle of
December she has travelled 5000 miles
made eighty addresses. Miss Phillips
is energetic, enthusiastic and forceful in
her work We cannot make an extend
ed report of what she said but the main
thought running through it all was the
necessity of interesting the pupils in
some of the real work and duties of life
and teaching them how to do something
by which they can earn livelihood as
1T becomes necessary. We regret that
many more were not present to hear her
address on this important subject. Miss
Phillips was guest of Mrs. Watts while
i'll Audubon and left for home Sunday
evening.
On Saturday afternoon reception
was given in behalf of the Mothers Club
in honor of Miss Phillips at the home of
Mrs. AIRY by Mesdames AIRY, Bates and
kibby. Miss Phillips made an informal
address that was very much appreciated.

plete one. The ladies brought cakes and
several freezers were soon set going to

lighted with auto lights and lanterns

time for the refreshments to be served,
after which nice rocker was presented

the wee hours of the morning bidding
him goodnight and wishing him many
