CHICAGO, Feb. Is. The
worst storm of the worst year ex-
perienced in the last decade has
paralyzed the middle west, &C
cording to reports coming in today
from the great plains. Suffering
and disaster is widespread and a
blizzard which shows no sign of
breaking away, has the country in
it's grip.
Railroad transportation is tied
up; train schedules have been
swung awry; telegraph and tele-
phones have been rendered use
less in many sections and the re-
suit of decentralization of all COM
munications is the isolation OF
many communities.
The wind died down during the
