WHO Is THE DEBTOR ?
Harper County and the State in a
Controversy.

State Auditor George E. Cole recently
declined to audit a claim of 81, 700 pre-
sented by Harper county and claimed to
be due the county on account of double
and erroneous assessments. Mr.. Cole
declined to audit the account because
the books in his possession did not
show that the county was entitled to
that much money.
To arrive at a conclusion in the mat
ter c. r. Richey of the state treas
urer's office and N. D. Sanders of the
auditors office went to Harper county,
and made an examination of the county
records. They have returned and when
the figures are tabulated and added
up a settlement with the county will
be made.
The county claims the state owes it
81, 700. The auditors accounts show
that the county owes the state. This
record seems to be substantiated by the
abstracts which the examiners made
and upon which a settlement will be
effected

better news facilities than "The Pitts

day by day will convince even the most
casual reader that this is fact It
covers the local, domestic and foreign
fields thoroughly In addition to the
splendid service of the Associated

of the world collected specially by two
of the leading New York newspapers.

foil mask, except where the rags We're
intended to fall. The distance between
the vacuum tube and the skin was be-
tween six and seven inches. Five am
percs Of current were used at a rate
of interruption of about 800 second.
After the rays had been applied IA
times the darker hairs appeared to be
losing some Of their color, and after an
other week they obviously lnssened in
number. They began to be brittle and
pale in color and the skin began to
slightly redden After 40 exposures
the whole of the very thick and downy
growth had disappeared, except nine
hairs, which defied destruction for at
least a week after the total removal Of
the others. After the treatment was
stopped only few thick hairs return
ed, and these were easily removed by
the well known process Of the cleo
trical needle. DR.. Wood differs from
a great many Y ray experts in be-
lieving that the y ray treatment can
be adopted without either pain or dis
Ggurement. He maintains that 20 ap-
plications will prepare the ground for
the more effective use of the electric
needle, and that between 80 and DO ex-
posures are enough to produce the per-
mauent removal Of the hair.
