SPEAKING of the comet-and
we're all thinking and talking
about it these days-the st. Louis
Star philosophically observes; sit
is awful to be so upset. Only a
few days ago some astronomer
told US the tail Of HalIey's comet
was much shorter than had been
expected, apparently only 2,0OO,-
600 miles long instead of 10000, 900,
and therefore it probably would
not reach the earth at all on that
fateful eighteenth of May next.
Now comes the observer at the
Lowell Observatory in Arizona,
where the facilities for observa-
ton are excellent, and declares
that the tail is not only 22,000,000
miles in length, but is bifurcated.
is long enough to extend from
the comet to the earth on that day
of transit, and an equal distance
beyond. We shall be right in the
center Of it, perhaps exactly at the
point of bifurcation. But we shall
not be biffed, as some people inn
agine, nor even cyanogen-gassed
out of existence, we are promised,
though the spectrum shows bright
bands indicating the presence of
that deadly gas in large quantities.
We shall probably have other
astronomical knowledge, OF the
usual conflicting nature, offered us
in abundance before that day OF
transit through the bifurcated
caudle, but the only thing to do is
not to worry, and to go ahead re-
planting the crops--if they need
it,"

CENTRALIA Courier: "This week
another Pike county colony con-
sisting Of 'twenty-one families,
left Missouri for Canada. Not
that they have anything against
Missouri, but simply because
Canada offers them better condi-
tions than the United States.
Uncle Sam permits trusts and
corporations, working through and
behind a protective tariff, to
plunder his subjects; Canada does
not. You can buy Mccormick
reaper for 1922 less in Canada than
you can in the United States. The
plain English Of this is that Uncle
Sam gives the millionaire owners
Of the reaper trust permission to
put their hand into the pocket Of
the farmer and steal S22 of his
money. We can buy the Canadian
linotype for $1,000 less money than
the Mergenthaler trust will sell
their machine for; we can also
buy news print paper for $50 per
ton less in Canada than in the
4 United States the difference is tho
/ lhighwaymen's booty which Uncle
Sam extracts from the pockets o
the printer and forks over to th'
millionaires Of the east. Is it any
wonder that thousands Of peopl'

Hayti Hotels.

(From the Dunklin Democrat.)
B. F. ALLEN, proprietor Of the
City Hotel, at Hayti, objected, in
last weeks Hayti Argus, to little
paragraph that appeared in the
Dunklin Democrat of April 18th,
as follows:
"If you should want to punish
some enemy, without killing him
just wanted to inflict slow pun
ishment-put him off at Hayti, at
midnight, and let him hunt.for
place to sleep. If he finds a place
so much the better for you, and
the worse for him. And yet, Hay
ii would be the county seat of
Pemiscot county"
Mr.. Allen calls this an ill-bred,
unjust and ungentlemanly attack.
Let's see: His hotel was not
mentioned, nor his name; and as
matter of fact, the writer was
never in Mr.. Aliens house, and
does not even know him. How
ever, he did land at Hayti on a
dark midnight; no lamps were
burning to show him where togo;
no hotel porters were there to
give the needed information; the
hack was not running because
somebody had the measles (he
was informed) and he had to stay
in the depot six hours or ''rustle'
| for a bed. He found one, but no
up town, andvbut let's forget it
| What's the use of bringing UP un'
pleasant memories?

Kenney and r. r. Chapman:
Whereas, Almighty God, in his inf

GERMS IN HER
SYSTEM
Every Woman Should Read This
Advice and the Generous
Offer Going With 1t.

The number of diseases peculiar to
women is such that we believe this
space would hardly contain mere
mention of their names, and it is a fact
that most of these diseases are of ca
tarrhal nature. A woman can not be
we'll if there is trace of catarrh in her
system.
Some women think there is no help
for them. We positively declare this
to be mistaken idea. We are so sure
of this that we offer to supply medi-
cine absolutely free of al cost in every
instance where it fails to give sstisfac-
ton, or does not substantiate our
claims. With this understanding, no
woman should hesitate to believe our
honesty of purpose, or hesitate to put
our claims to a test.
There is only one way to overcome
catarrh. That way is through the
blood. You may use all the snuffs,
douches or like remedies for years
without getting more than temporary
relief at best. Catarrh in general is a
diseased condition of the system that
shows locally most frequently in dis
charges from mucous membranes.
Local treatment should be assisted by
internal treatment for the general dis
eased condition if complete cure is to
be reached. That internal treatment
should be scientifically devised and
faithfully administered.
Rexall Mucu- Tone is scientifically
prepared from the prescription of an
eminent physician who for thirty years
made catarrh his speciality. This rem
edy is admirably adapted to the treat.

men. 1t purifies and enriches the

Ditch Improvement
Will Be Fought

A large number of landowners at
tended the hearing of the proposed
Wabash ditch improvement, held at a
point two miles east OF Burkettsville
last Tuesday. The meeting was ad-
Journed, however, till January 10, due
to a failure of all the parties interested
getting proper notice. The route of the
improvement is through what is known
as Cranberry Prairie, in Granville
township, thence to Ft. Recovery.
The petitioners are j. II. Leugers and
Judge Dwyer, the latter the biggest
land owner in the Prairie, and indeed
in the county. The improvement will
be granted by the Commissioners, but
the landowners along the lower end
will fight it and have employed Myers
& Myers, attorneys of this city, to rep
resent them. The petitioners are no
less determined, and have employed
J. w. Loree. There is already much
over the project and it will
likely grow more bitter as the contest
proceeds.

A Good Position

Can be had by ambitious young men
and ladies in the field of wireless" or
railway telegraphy. Since the S-hour
law became effective, and since the
wireless companies are establishing
stations throughout the country, there
is great shortage of telegraphers. Po-
sltions pay beginners from $40 to 500
per month, with good chance Of ad-
vancement. The National Telegraph
Institute operates six official Institutes
