 Sweetnam Comet.

Weeks ago announcement was NJ Swetnam of this city had been viewing Halley comet with his field glasses since February 25. The doctor does not claim to be an astronomer. but he had recently been talking to a man who is and got all the necessary di- rections about where to look for it. He kept up search until he located ir with his glasses. then he could dis tinguish it with the naked eye. being the first in these parts to see it with out glass The announcement was met by an expression of unbelief on the part of the doctors friends. who would take his word for anything else. but thought him lame on the comet busi- ness. Y rather irritated him. and he Kept up us svdrcir, yedrHing Tor the day of it's brighter appearance SD he could continue to point it out and say T told you SO"
 All that happened when the comet was in the northwestern sky and not very far above the horizon. but it was only q few days until il was lost al together and has now reappeired. just as i; was scheduled to do. a little north of east in the early morning. Quite number of Phoenix people have been observing it about a. m. for two or three days past. the doctor among them. and he says there is no doubt about it being the same identical lum- mary. But the doctor realized that if his word was not good on the star Dusi- ness a month or SO ago it could not be now. so he said nothing further about it until last night. when he brought to The Republican office documentary evidence that local star sharps will have to accept.

The picture in fact uses all the brilliant stars the doctor em- ployed as sign posts when he first trailed his eyes over the Armament to where Mir. Halley'S namesake was hiding The picture shows the comet tO he in the same constellation and to have exactly the same appearance that
 t did to him when he first saw it. In fact it is SD nearly the same that the doctor feels as though he had a sort of a proprietary interest in the pie ture. which can be found on page 443 of the magazine referred to-
 The doctor stiIl lays no claim to sci entific knowledge of the stars. but he is sticking up for AriZOna's clear blue sky. and anyhow whether he is an as tronOmer or not. he has just as good a right as anybody to discover d comet.

Coupled wi;h this is the increased use Of machinery and other methods for taking care of such products more quickly and easily than formerly.

ALCOHOL FAILS
ON The FARM
Given Through Trial But Has
Since Been Abandoned

The collapse Of the use OF denatured all

complete and TO the extent that tho

farmer would be able 10 manage his farm
20 greater advantage and with larger pro-.
nj and that others would be similarly ben
ehted, and the industry ought thus to be-
humored.
So Congress made denatured alcohol
free Of internal taxes, and the great ex-
pectations said well done" and tho
Treasury Department made ready to faci-
litate the use Of denatured alcohol in 50
far as government regulations could keen
hands OF. At first, matters went on fairly
we'll Denatured alcohol was given its trial
on the farm and elsewhere as fuel and
the like. but it appears TO have been
abandoned for these purposes. and tho
Treasury Department in it's internal rev.
enue, division has recently found so little
to do that if has decided TO abolish in'
effect the denatured alcohol division oil

arranged on July ! next 70 dismiss or
