THINK
 THEY SEE COMET

If Winnecke's comet only knew 1t. there were a lot of people in Phoenix yesterday who thought they were looking at it with the naked eye.
 It started with couple of men at the Busy drug store corner who craned their necks and pointed their arms at an angle of about 90 degrees. In a short time there was a score who were looking upward well to- ward the zenith, searching for what somebody else saw in the fair blue sky.
 ''I can't see it." despairingly com plained a woman Show me where it is."
 "There 1t is" directed a man, a perfect stranger to her. Look about Is feet from the corner of the Good rich building. It's right about there, about as big as a quarter"
 You see it and then you lose it and it's hard to find again." explained another woman, as the crowd con stantly grew larger
 They really saw something's per fectly good star. up there in the sky where it ought to be. But there were various explanations and conjectures as to its identity.
 ''rll bet it's a balloon" said one.
 The telephones in the news room of The Republican tangled for some time afterward-
 What is it that all the people ars looking at in the sky? Is 1t the comet?

[RepubIIcan A. P. Leased Wlrel

WATERTOWN, S. D., June 15- While federal bureau of crop esti- mates officials declined to issue a statement today on reports of rust infestation in spring wheat in South Dakota, they said they regarded the reports as designed only to influence the wheat futures market.
 They said that the earliest known appearance of red rust in this state, the spore which later develops into black rust is July 6. Elevator men say they have reports of rust, but authorities point out this might be the so called orange or leaf rust and mot the fungus growth common known as black rust from it's final development at the time it attacks the wheat stem late in July and the time when it does damage.
 Stories of the appearance of red or black prior to about July 10, will not be given credence by authorities, it was said by crop bureau attaches.
