wsirlwind; and there will be night
and no day. But in due time new
things will take the place of the old in
the light of new sun, and new life
will appear again upon the earth, and
the Trusts and the Republican Party
will resume business at the same old
stand as previously heretofore.

The oldest inhabitant" can
remember when he was kid"
that the would-be wise prophets
were predicting that the world
was coming to an end," and they
were so sure of it that the could
set the day when this old globe
of ours would roll up as a Gig
arctic and go off in smoke. AT
ter long waiting and much
prophecying they may at last
have the opportunity to jump up
out of their graves and shout II
told you so % But the Comet is
coming and coming our way,
that's fact, and there is no
such thing as stopping it even
though we do hold the right-of-
way.
This Observatory" has re-
certify gone to the expense of i'm
porting and mounting, at great
altitude, the finest 99 cent tele-
scope ever manufactured. Its
range is practically limitless.
With it can be seen the COWS
grazing in the Milky Way, and
it brings the old Man and Woman
of the Moon so near you car
shake hands with them. We az
this at our own expense solely
that we can keep the inhabitants
of the Gem State informed as
to the movements of the great
est Comet that was ever turned
loose in the heavens, and give
warning in time for them to gov
ern themselves accordingly I'm
balance of the world can lool
}. out for itself or get left.
But this will not be the frs
time old Mother Earth has see
/ trouble. This little globe upo1
! which we ride in apparent secul
! ity has been swept time an
again with fire; it has been co,
cred up in ice and thawed out
the hot water; it has come u
N through the seas that completel
J submerged it; it has been in TOT
darkness for ages and ages whe
the sun refused to give light;
has been shaken all over q
earthquakes; been lashed mou.
tain high by tidal waves; vo
canoes have hurled their mr.
and rolled rivers of lava over
and vet it moves gracefully alol
at s a Gait of over a million and
half miles a day and goes cie'
around the sun and gets back
the starting point at mldnlgn!
