.'GROWING DISEASE CAUSES
YOUNG GIANTS REJECTION
(By United Press)

New Rockford, N. D., Feb. s.
John Aasan, %, stands Z feet one
half inch in his stocking feet,
weighs $40 pounds, and sincerely
wants to go over there and get a
Huns helmet for a trophy.
But the government won't take
him, even in the face Of his argu-
ment that his huge dimensions
would be great asset to the govern
ment in conservation of ammunition:
He claims he could just walk out
in "No Mans Land" and the size of
him would put the fear OF God in
the Huns hearts.
Physicians who rejected him for
military service claimed he is af-
fiicted with growing disease: Per-
sons who have seen, him agree with
the physicians. John went to Min
neapolis recently and terrified resi-
dents by numbering through the
streets and hotel lobbies.

OPPOSES BILL FOR IT, S.
TO CONTROL PRINT PAPER
Senator Harding Says american
Republic Is Heading Straight
for State Socialism"

Senator Harding of Ohio, who is a
publisher also, today spoke against the
bill authorizing the President to control
the news print paper business.
He said that the newspaper business
of the country had outgrown the news
print manufacture, a condition certain
to result in high prices. He pointed to
Spanish war days. when prices sudden
ly doubled because of great demand for
paper. to support his argument that
prices now were controlled only by sup
ply and demand.
Consumption is increasing. Senator
Harding said, and the Unnecessary
extra edition" is responsible for much
of 1t.
There isn't a newspaper in the coun-
try that could not cut down the size
of it's Sunday edition without reducing
its value to the reader" he declares.
1.-The American republic is heading
straight for state socialism," said SEN
ator Harding in declaring the resolu-
tion a socialistic plan. 1T seems that
everything is being done to paralyze
individual initiative and put the people
in the hands of the government instead
of the government in the hands of the
people"
