History of the Reformation calls
the beautiful town of Mollis, which
in in the canton of Glarns, Switzer-
land, and I saw the light of this
world on the 3Oth day of January,
1926, and consequently was about
nine years old when the great comet
appeared.
81 was a little school girl when
the whole town was startled by the
wonderful sight, which spanned
the heavens as far as the eye could
reach. Evening after evening the
people gathered on the streets to
behold with fear and trembling the
awe-inspiring, glorious sight, and
wondered what would befall the
earth in consequence of it. Some
said pcstilence, some said war, but
most of them talked about the great
Judgment Day and the end of the
world.
81 shall never forget my childish
wonderment as to how that great
thing could hang up there without
falling down on us, and when told
my grandmother that l feared the
end of the world she used to say
that I need not fear the Lord, for
when He came He would bring the
millennium with Him, when every
body would be good, and even the
wild animals would lie down and
eat hay with our goats.
"And I presume on account of
the beautiful story of the millen-
MUM in connection with the great,
dreadful comet, the impression on
my memory was so vivid that it has
never faded, neither the comet nor
the story OF the millennium, and up
to this day | love to read the mil
lennium and to remember the time
when in my childish heart the comet
ceased to scare me.

the east and the measureless tail

us in Mollis. After it was all gone
again l really wondered what other
place was going to be scared by it.

The services we're held at four
o'clock at the Kimball cottage on
Lunalilo street where the deceased
with her companions, Miss Hege-
mann, Miss Lucy Hegemann and
Miss Mason, have made their home
since their arrival few weeks ago
on the steamship Mongolia. The
beautiful casket rested in the little
dining-room surrounded and laden
with beautiful floral offerings. Pill
lows of fragrant Tantalus violets
and wreaths of roses with clusters
of waxen lilies were tenderly laid
upon the casket.
The services, conducted by Doc
tor Scudder, were simple. The
regular funeral service was read,
and an appropriate portion of the
Scriptures, while James Whitcomb
Rileys verses were interpolated.
There was no singing and after the
brief ceremony all but intimate
friends retired from the cottage,
and the casket was then opened
again for the dead girls COM
panions to gaze once more upon the
face of their friend. For few mo-
ments only these four were alone,
and for the last time. and the casket
was then closed and borne to the
undertaking parlors of H. H. Will
liams, where it will remain until
this afternoon when it will be taken
aboard the S. S. Korea.

IOWA BANKERS OPTIMISTIC.

President Ernest Z. Hart OF the
First National Bank in Council Bluffs
recently sent out 10 Iowa bankers a
circular letter containing six specific
inquiries about matters which will
have immediate and direct effect up
on the money market of the state.
The same conditions apply to prac-
tically the entire middle west. The
inquiries cover the following points:
Effect OF recent rains upon market
ing Of old corn.
Whether new small grain will be
marketed at present or held.
Whether there will be fewer cattle
fed on account of the shortage In
hay and fodder.
Whether as much money will be
demanded as usual this fall on ac-
count of the handling of stock and
grain
| Whether the tendency to speculate
in land is decreasing.
/ Whether the raise in interest rate;
/ by eastern companies upon the mort
gage loans will have anv influence
upon the local money market.
] Replies We're received from eight
bankers. large majority of whom
declared that the rains would resul
in the sale OF old corn, thus bringin,
into circulation large Sums Of money
also that the bulk of small grain har
vested this year will be narkete'
now; that fewer cattle are to be fe'
this year than usual; that less none,
: will be required to handle the cor
and stock and that speculation Il
, lands is decreasing steadily and tina
! it has now almost touched norma
ground. It was also the concensus O
opinion that the demand for mortgag
loans upon local capital would be ir
t creased by the raise Of interest rates
a but it is believed that the effect @
/ this will be more than over-balance
n by other more favorable factors
e Tie tone of the replies indicates
e generally better feeling in bankin
e circles in Iowa than was the case 81
months ago.

In the opinion of the Deep River
Record, the farmer who owns farm
is the particular person who is fixed.
Banks may fail and factories close,
workmen strike and mines suspend,
merchants fail and towns burn, times
may be panicky and even crops may
be short--but the farmer who owns
his acres will get along. He will live
in comfort and quiet, with plenty to
eat, drink and wear. He is the most
independent man on earth.

In less than q month Iowa corn will
be on the safe side of the dead line.
What this means is thus pointedly
told by the Davenport Democrat:
1t means that millions of bushels
OF the grain are maturing every TWEEN
tty-four hours. That means that mil
lions of dollars are added to the
wealth of this commonwealth during
every period of eight working hours.
WiIn almost certain prospects of a
oet,er yield than the average for the
past len years there is every reason

According to the edict of the Ma
tional Association of Retail Milliners
in session in Chicago, big hats are to
be bigger and small hats smaller
than ever before There are to be
no medium sized hats. According to
milliners at the meeting, the nearer
to either extreme the hat may be,
the nearer the wearer will be to
achieving the desired effect in styles.
The desire for extremes extends even
to the coloring. The more brilliant
the coloring the more nearly to the
ideal effect will the new hat conform.
What with hats the size of wagon
wheel and hobble skirts women will
be sight indeed!

SMITH AND LOW PLAY
TOO STRONG A GAME FOR
MACKIE AND ANDERSON.

A Lee SMITH and Low yesterday
"a proved entirely too strong a
combination for Mackie and An
derson in the four-ball match at the
Fox Hills Golf Club links for a purse of
$500, offered by the Fox Hills Club. The
heavy start Smith and Low gained on
the first nine holes. chiefly through the
brilliant playing of the Baltusrol pro-
fessional, practically carried the pair
through the day and enabled them to
win handily by 7 up and to play.
The afternoon round was to a certain
extent a battle for the mastery between
Smith and Mackie, as Low and Ander-
son picked up at many Of the holes, but
even at that they occasionally won a
hole
Anderson won the first and third holes
in the afternoon, with a par, and 8,
while he succeeded in halving several
other holes.
"A lead of up on the morning round
is no easy matter to overcome and espe-
cially against two of the most expert
professional players in the country.
There was ray of hope in the after
noon, when Anderson, four times ma
tional champion, gave a slight exhibit
ton of his old championship form. He
started off by winning the first hole in
the par of 5, and then halving the Sec
ond hole with George Low in the par
of 4, Smith and Mackie each taking
for the hole.

ROPER SEEKS TO
STRENGTHEN Line
FOR NEXT GAME
Hart's Playing at Right Tackle
Improves Line Work
Considerably.
PRINCETON. Oct. 20.

PRlNCEION, OCT. ~.
@HANGES in the Princeton varsity
line caused a slight falling off in
the efficiency of the men at prac-
tise yesterday afternoon, but there is
little doubt that in the end the shift
will prove much more effective than the
old line.
Captain Eddie Hart was playing right
tackle and Brown left tackle, Mac
Gregor retiring from the left tackle
position early in the scrimmage. Will
son, the star guard, was also out with
an injury. Hart's side of the line
showed great improvement because of
his play, both on the offense and on the
defense. He made a big hole for the
halfbacks every time, and he was ac-
tive in breaking up the plays that came
his way and in getting down the field
under punts.
The varsity scored a touchdown and
field goal against the scrubs, Pendleton
being sent in especially to lift the ball
over the goal posts. Otherwise he did
not play. nor did Sparks.
Considering that so many of the var
sity men were out of the game, the
showing was good. The forward pass
was worked several times for good
gains.

the task of whipping the Penn back
field into shape for the game against
State College on Saturday.
All season the coaches have been
greatly hampered by injuries occur
ring to members of the backfield and
scarcely has the same set of backs
started in two consecutive games.
Although Mike Murphy stated yes
terday that TEX" would be able TO
leave his bed today. it is hardly likely
that he will be in condition to play on
Saturday. Besides this SCOTS side has
not responded to Mike Murphy's treat
ment as well as might be expected, and
unless the soreness departs quickly
Scott, too, will have to watch the State
game from the side lines.

ELI VARSITY GAINS
A SUDDEN POWER.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct 20.-The
Yale varsity yesterday surprised the
coaches and the scores of onlookers
by developing a sudden strength which
carried the freshmen and scrub teams
which lined-up against it entirely off
their feet. Last week the freshmen
held the varsity again and again and
the varsity won, with the help of the
coaches. by a score of 16 to 3. Yester-
day the varsity made three scores,
two touchdowns and a goal from the
drop kick, and the freshmen were un-
able to make first down, greatly to the
chagrin of their coaches. Then the
scrubs were brought up against the
varsity and the varsity made two more
touchdowns. After that the coaches
decided that the members of the first
eleven had had enough and let them
go in.

a GAME that was marked at times
with more disputes than foot
ball was witnessed on the

score of to 0. Edward Edmunson. of
the Academy team, ran the ball thirty
yards in the first period and made the
