A WORTHY UNDERTAKING.

The local Elks lodge has re-
Gently undertaken what is known
as the big Brother" movement.
This is commendable ana
worthy task. Its object Is TO
furnish what might be termed a
guardian for any boy, whether
maynard or merely dependent,
and see that he gets boy S chance
to develop his good traits ana
manhood; and he Is given a pal
aneed ration" of both work and
play. Some one member of the
Big Brother" organization (and
this is independent of any other
organization) volunteers TO act as
spopSer for a certain boy, who
is given the fellowship and en-
couragement due from Dig bro
Their to a smaller one The move
ment has been given a practical
test In years past in other sec
tiOns and is proving a wonderful
work 1t Is not coming any TOO
early in Hickman, as we believe
there Is a fertile field here for
development. DIR Lon Naylor
has been named to head the Big
Brother association, and Is the
right man In the right place.
Cashier w. c. Reed takes the
first boy, who will be given TO
his charge probably this wick.

SHORT ON RESIDENCES.

Scarcely day passes that we
do not encounter some one try
ing to find a house for rent in
Hickman. 1t does seem, in view
of the fact that we have ample
capitol here and rental property
brings good return, that
more small cottages and btnga-
lows should be erected, even If
for purely mercenary motives.
The city's growth is greatly
handicapped for lack of them. If
there Is n vacant house Is the
town today, we do not know
where it is. If Hickman is to
grow. we must have more res
dences. Let's do a little build
ing this spring.

Coaxing the Hen to Lay.

! The high cost Of living, long made
z plaything Of politics, economics and
sensationalists, has row become a
stern reality beyond dispute. While
state. federal and numerous civic and
industrial bodies throughout the coun-
TT investigate the rumored hoard
ing Of foodstuffs, prices continue to
soar steadily, bringing within them
hardzhiUs to those blessed but spar
irgly with this worlds goods. In
desperation. women, singly and
Ieagued together, have instituted boy
cots on certain commodities as re-
norstrance and effective action
against unjust speculation. Mean
while many Of is strive desperately
TO make both ends meet, paying the
exorbitant inflated prices for the ne
cessities Of life.
Perhaps few staple products enter
more into ones daily gastronomic
performance than eggs. Yet today
eggs are 20 scarce and the prices so
cut-ageously high that for many of
the less fortunate long. dreary, egg
less season looms ahead. With such

4 Mighty Comet Coming.

Unless something unexpected occurs
the world will witness next Spring {
great heavenly phenomenon-a nigh
" comet blazing forth night after
night with its tail sweeping ar i'm
mense arc through the heavens, q
source Of terror 70 tie supers-itious
and Of intense interest to all.
Comet B, 1916" is the name Of the
stranger. Il is so called because it
was the second comet discovered dur
ing the year 1915. Professor Wolf,
Of koerigstuhl, detected the rushing
body's faint picture on q photograph
&c plate last April and proceeded 70
telegraph the news to observacories
all over the world with great joy.
The statement that the new comet
will be a monster rests principally on
the fact that il was discovered when
fully 100000 900 miles from the earth,
just within the orbit Of the great plan
Ct Jupiter.
AL comets increase greatly in size
and bril!iancy as they approach the
sun. If such proves TO be the case
this time. Comet B, 1916" should
make great impression.
From now on until May, conditions
will become increasingly favorable for
In a few months the
comet should be visible to the naked
eye in parts Of the earth suitably sit,
uated.
At present the comet is approach +
ing the earth al rate Of more than
a million miles a day-but not in q
direct line. 1t is now situated in
the sky just north Of the corstella- .
ton Libra and about Is degrees I
northwest Of the upper end Of the .
Scorpion. These consultations are .
near the sun. appearing in the early /
hours just preceding sunrise.
On January l the comet was still
more than 300.000000 miles away.
Is perhelion passage, or nearest ap-
lroach to the sun. IS due next June.
The path Of the comet has not yet
zen accurately plotted. but dozens Of
astronomers are working on il with
.omplex tables and extensive mathe-
natical calculations.
