GREAT COMET WILL
APPEAR next MAY

In May next year a great comet is
booked to give the peope of the earth
an astronomical exhibition worth
living to see. 1t is to apear in May,
so that unless something unexpected
occurs the world will see next spring
a great heavenly phenomenon
mighty comet blazing forth night af-
ter night, with it's tail sweeping an
immense arc through the heavens, a
source of terror to the superstitious
and of interest to all.
Comet B, 1916" is the name of
the stranger. 1t is so called because
it was the second comet discovered
last year. Professor Wolf, of Koe-
nigstuhl, detected the rushing body's
faint picture on Photographic plate
last April and proceeded to telegraph
the news to observations all over the
world with great joy.
The statement that the new comet
will be a monster rests principally on
the fact that it was discovered when
fully 40O,O00,00O miles from the
earth just with the orbit of the great
planet Jupiter.
All comets increase greatly in size
and brilliancy as they approach the
sun. If such approves to be the case
this time, Comet B, 1916" should
make a great impression.
1t is useless to go out and look for
the comet tonight as it is now on the
other side of the sun, whose great i'm
minence conceals it. Earth, sun and
comet have just passed conjunction,
as the state is called when the three
bodies are in line. In a few months
the comet should be visible to the
naked eye in parts of the earth suit
ably situated.
At present the comet is approach

WIRE
TRANSFORMS
Of WARMC0vERS

Just before the departure of the last
contingent to Camp Funston, word was
received here that the boys could add
greatly to their own comfort by taking
blankets with them. Many of the
boys took their own blankets, but $50
pairs were furnished by the local Red
Cross chapter At a meeting Of the
executive committee few days ago a
wire was sent to Fred w. Norton, who
was in charge of the Maricopa delega-
ton, asking him regarding the blanket
situation. He was asked if the supply
of blankets was sufficient, and if the
blankets taken with the company, from
Arizona could be returned here for the
use of other contingents. Yesterday
the following telegram was received
from Mr.. Norton:
Camp Funston, Oct IL, 1917.

thanks from Maricopa boys for blank
cts; we sure needed them; awful cold
