get a flick from the tail of the comet
and that we will see stars as result.
The comet will be only several mil
lion miles away from us in June, and
IL It is any decent sort of a comet
1t will reveal itself to the naked eye.
However, comets are such elusive and
irresponsible affairs that we can't
count on this; so no money will be
refunded or rainchecks given under
any circumstances.
In 1915, when this comet was
here on its last visit, large numbers
of ~meteors were observed. SO the
stargazeTs will be eagerly watching
for the same sort of exhibition this
time. In fact several unusually bright
meteors have recently been seen, and
they may be advance agents of the
show.
The second comet now in view tel
escopically is the one discovered by
Reid at Cape Town March 10. II is
now in the neighborhood of the Big
Dipper but it is moving so fast that it
would be useless to go into further
details. The third comet Is the one
sighted afar off last December by
Taylor and Skejellerup, but we are
not going to puff that comet as we
do not believe 1t is reliable.
Astronomy has just had severe
loss in the death of DIR. William b.
Brooks, of Hobart college, Geneva,
n. Y, who was the worlds cham
pion comet hunter. He discovered
his first comet with telescope of his
own making. He kept searching the
heavens every clear night so that
N 1912 he had a string of q comets
to his credit, and he was given a gold
medal.-Pathfinder.

COMETS AND METEORS
NOW DUE TO APPEAR

If you believe in signs and omens
you want to get "skeered" now, for
the very heavens are displaying unus-
ual portents. At least two comets
are now visible-not to the naked
eye but thru the telescope. A third
is on the timetable but it may have
run off the track or been side-swiped
by this time.
The most interesting of these
comets is the Pons-Winnecke This
was first discovered by Pons in 1919
then it was lost and was rediscovered
by Winnecke in 1858. 1t is a period
&c comet and comes back every five
years or so. On the present trip il
happens to get to the crossing only
a very short time before the earth
gets there.

the farmers children, who would be
enthusiastic about such things, and
who would in that way get good prac-
tical training in horticulture and de-
velop a healthy interest in rural life
The same thing is urged in regard
to poultry, which is the quickest meat
supply to produce, and on many a
farm practically the only scource of
fresh meat during the spring and
summer months. At the same time
1T is one of the best; in the city,
where fresh beef is common, poultry
is a delicacy-almos a luxury. Many
of the farmers wives have almost
forgotten the buttermaking arts they
learned from their mothers when they
were girls, and they are advised to
start again. A table well supplied
with poultry and eggs, milk and but
ter is in fair way of being indie
pendent of outside help.
The farmer who is now unable to
sell his crops and must go to the
market to buy his food is in a bad
plight-and really he deserves it. He
has put all his eggs in one basket"
and the basket has been dropped.
Those farmers who live at home''-
that is, make their farms furnish
their own food as we'll as their spe-
cial crops-are in a much better
shape in this cricis and usually are
all the time Those who will not
heed good advice must suffer.
Hard times often bring good les
sons Of a practical sort, and many a
man will come out of the present
depression better prepared to take
advantage Of his opportunities in the
future. He will have learned how
to make himself more Independent.
The department of agriculture at
Washington invites all farmers or
others who need information or adj
vice about producing homegrown food
to write and ask for it. Many bull
letins on such subjects are furnished

About Rheumatism.

People are learning that it is only
a waste Of time and money to take
medicine internally for chronic and
muscular rheumatism, and about
ninety-nine out of a hundred cases
are one or the other of these varie-
ties. All that is really necessary to
afford relief is to apply Chamber
lain's Liniment freely. Try it. 1t

GERMAN ROBIN HOOD"

Max Hoelz, the red leader who is
credited with raising more trouble in
Germany than any other man, and for
whose capture the government offer
ed 100000 marks, has been taken
prisoner He got the name of Rob
in Hood from his practice of holding
up rich men in Saxony and making
them contribute to the upkeep of the
red guard. He was captured in
Czecho-Slovakia last year but escap-
ed and took a leading part in the re-
cent uprisings in middle Germany.
Many parcels of explosives found in
Berlin were said to have been sent
by Hoelz and to have led to his cap
ture.

Do Your Best.

Everyone should do all he can to
provide for his family and in order
to do this he must keep his physi-
cal system in the best condition pos
sible. No one can reasonably hope
TO do much when he is half sick a

constipated, bilious or troubled with

day announced that at 40 minutes
past nine on the night of July 81
Jean Jaures, French socialist leader,
had been struck down by an assas-
san. Those who witnessed Count
Baschieri's actions and heard his pre-
diction declared that noone could
have come into the room and told him
of the assassination. There was not
time for a report of the crime to be
carried that distance anyway, they
pointed out. AS it was proved that
the assassin had no accomplice, it is
impossible that the clairvoyant could
have received any advance informa-
tion thru ordinry human channels.
The count who is a spiritualist be-
lieves that his knowledge of the i'm
pending tragedy came from the spirit
world.
While in Chile some IA or 8 years
ago Count Baschieri foretold the
earthquake which destroyed Val
paraiso, Santigo and other cities, in
dicating the day and hour when the
tremor would come. When 1t failed
TO materialiZe at the exact time pre-
dieter the Chileans were so much ir-
ritated that the police had to be call
ed to protect the Brazilian against
violence. Shortly afterward, howev-
er, there was a terrific earthquake
which tailed exactly with the pre-
diction. After that the Chileans had
so much confidence in the. counts
clairvoyant powers that even the
president of the republic fell into
habit of consulting him on important
public matters.
Talking on one occasion with a GER
tain widow, Count Baschieri inform
ed her that she would shortly marry
again. Her future husband, he said,
was at that time at Salonica. On be-
ing informed that the lady and the
gentleman had never thought of
marrying each other, the count as
sured her that she would meet the
man in the street before going to
Fontainebleau. Sure enough she
met the man as had been foretold
and the marriage TOOK place within
the time indicated.
Prof. de Vesme presents these and
other performances of the Brazilian
for what thy may be worth but con-
fesses that he can not account for
them. They might all be merely
condolences. but even then they are
astonishing. II is possible to predict

A law has been passed by which the
government of Colombia will pay a
third of the value of the livestock
of pure breed imported into the coun-
try. The importer has complete and
private ownership of the animals but

OF Disbursement.

Washington, May 21.-,'aw AID
more economical means Of conducting
the affairs of the Federal Govern
ment are provided in the budget bill,
according to James w. Good, chair
man of the House Appropriations
Committee, in a speech in the House.
He says:
81 doubt If Congress will be called
upon to pass legislation of greater
consequence to the country than the
bill which we are now considering.
For a number of years men have been
talking about a budget system, 9TH
ers have been writing articles on
budgetary legislation, and 1t is now
proposed within the next week or 10
days TO place upon the statute books
a bill that will bring about practical
realization of these hopes and ex-
roctations. We have been talking
about economy in Government affairs
and at the same time have been prac-
ticing extravaganza. This has been
true irrespective of the political par
ty that has happened to be in pow
err The trouble has been that we
have had no business system with
which to conduct the fiscal affairs
of the Government. The Government
of the United States is the biggest
business concrn in all the world,
more men, disbursing more
funds than any other Government"

PAYING FREIGHT ON WATER

Many a farmer goes to the mar
ket to buy his food. This sounds
strange; it is as surprising as if a
carpenter hired someone to put new
roof on his house, or if New Eng
land fisherman lived on canned sal
mon from Alaska. Yet it is true, and
has been for years; but probably new
err before has it been so unwise as
now.
The explanation is that thousands
Of farmers are specialists. The grain
farmer raises grain, and buys his pO-
Latoes and other vegetables. which
are often shipped from distance.
The cotton farmer VIGOROUSLY buys
practically everything his family, his
| help and his work-stock eat. The
fruit farmer buys his dairy products,
and even the man who speSializes in
milk for creamery or cheese factory
often sells all the milk and does not
even make his own butter Many
dairymen sell their butter and eat
ofeOmargarine bought at a store.
Specializing is a good thing. but
not always. If carried too far it is a
very bad thing. The farmer who has
been depending almost entirely on
other farmers to feed him, to grow
the supplies for his table, while he
was engaged in his one line, now
finds himself at a big disadvantage
An official of the department of Ag-
riculture has said: The American
farmer is not going to be able this
year to pay freight on water" He
meant that water makes up a large
part Of fresh vegetables and fruits,
and Of the canned kind too, and
the farmer who dosn't raise his own
has to nay for the freight on water
at time when freight is higher than
ever before and the farmers finan-
cial condition is extra bad.
The advice of the official is for ev-
cry farmer to grow his own table
food, no matter what his main crop
may be. Many farmers do not need
this advice, for they have found long
ago that homegrown vegetables are
not only cheaper but usually better
and always fresher. They are the
kind of men who think and plan and
watch all sides of big business while
they work. They are OF the kind
known as good managers in every
line of business; they are thrifty;
they do not lose sight OF the little
things. the side-lines, the by products
they watch the business from every
angle.
But thousands of farmers" said
the official quoted above, will be
compelled to grow more of their own
food on account OF the increased
transportation costs and lessened re-
turns from the products they have to
SELL" The single-crop man is per-
fectly capable of growing potatoes
and tomatoes for his own table. Not
only that; he can grow berries and
melons, have few hives of bees,
some fruit trees and walnut trees and
things of that sort which will furnish
delicacies for his table to go along
with the necessities The extra light
labor could usually be furnished by

VENERA BILE VIOLIN

Viola Dana is using in her latest
Metro starring picture, "Life's Darn
Funny" to be shown at the Newark
Opera House Monday, November 81,
a violin made by her grandfather
more than half a century ago. 1t was
presented to the little star when she
was a child struggling with early
music lessons.
When Dallas Fitzgerald, who di-
rected Miss Dana in her new produc-
tion, told her that she was to enact
the part of little violinist, she inn
mediately thought of the old violin
she had stored away at her home. AS
a result, this instrument is playing a
very important part in the produc-
ton.
