THE TROUBLE WITH THE MOON

THE TROUBLE WITH THE MOON
The moon is skidding.
According to DR.. A. c. d. Crom-
melin of the Greenwich Laboratory.
England, ii has slid twelve miles off
the regular blue book route.
In fact, there is grave doubt that
the well known Man in the Moon is
still in the moon. or has been thrown
out by the sharp turn.
The problem OF the minute is to
get the moon back on the right road.
Otherwise you can't tell what may
happen. Nothing more disastrous
can be imagined than the moon hit
ting a hydrant or telegraph pole,
unless 1t were a hydrant or tele-
graph pole hitting a moon.
DR.. Crommelin alone seems 10 be
unalarmed. He states that the moon
has been skidding for thirty years
which beats W. J. Bryan's record. II
it has only covered IL miles in all
that time it is almost as good a moon
as our auto is a speedster.
Unknown influences, he states. are
at work on the moon. but no at
tempt has as yet been made TO in
volve the Democratic party.
Professor w. H. Pickering OF Har-
ward also has a report to make re-
garding queer doings on the moon,
1t is his discovery that two crops a
dav arc grown there The bumper
crops presumably lead to bumper APP
petites among the Moneys, as ma :
tives of the moon are known TO sci
entists--hence the frequency Of the
Full Moons.
This two -crops-a-day report mas
caused great unrest among American
farmers, but it should be explained
that a day on the moon is as long

Sterling. Nov. 73.-One of the
boldest holdups recorded in this
part Of the country for years was
perpetrated about ociock last
evening a mile and half north of
Round Grove, which is nine miles
west Of this city. John Byers of
Sterling was the victim. He had
been visiting some friends In the
country and vas driving home and
was but mile and 4 half from the
Lincoln highway when three mask
cd men stepped out in the road and
forced him to stop his car. One
smashed in the lower part of his
windshield and one fired a shot at
him, which nearly struck him. The
robbers then took $50 from him and
as they were walking away and he
started to turn on the switch to
start his car, one OF the robbers
turned and fired at him, the bullet
striking him in the forehead, glanc-
ing and going through the flesh and
passing on through his cap.
He was stunned and it was some
time before he could get to Ster-
ling to receive medical attention and
report the holdup to the police. A
posse was soon securing the coun-
try for the robbers, but they could
not be located.

recruited locally and 4 camp will
be set at some point convenient to
