AN EvAPoRATED SENSATION.

A.short time ago the Fargo Courier News pub
hshed a story substantially to the effect that one
John y emit of Wellsburg, North Dakota, had plac-
ed in a. local bank in his town a warrant from the
Bank Of North Dakota for some $500 for collection,
that he had inquired Of the local banker on several
occasions concerning the matter, and had been in
formed, that the warrant had not yet been paid, and
that payment was thus deferred over a period Of
several months. Ultimately, according to Heintz,
he learned that the warrant had been presented to
the Bank of North Dakota and had been promptly
honored, the local bank having had possession Of
the money during all this time. This story was
spread all oyer the front page Of the Courier News,
Heintzss and the subject was exploited as the sensa-
ton Of the day.lI was used as the medium for an at
tack on North Dakota bankers, this particular bank
tr being held up as a fraud and an extortioner. Re
Gently MI. lHeintz has made affidavit that his for
1ner Statement was untrue, that the warrant had
been promptly cashed by the Bank of North Dakota,
and that he had been SO informed by Mr.. Williams,
the Wellsburg banker, that the funds had been prop
erly placed to his credit as an offset to Indebtedness
owed by him to the bank. He made the further
statement that he was practically forced to sign the
original affidavit.
Upon the demand Of Cashier Williams of the
Farmers State Bank of Wellsburg, who furnished
not only his own statement st the transaction but
copies of statements made by Mi. Heintz, the Cour-
Ter News retracts its former story and expresses re-
greet therefor. >.- a.
II is Interesting to note thai, whereas the, oriRi-
nal false story was featured on the front pageso 81 The
Courier News and made by the. illustration andttype
by all means the most prominent article in the 81
per, the explanatory statement Agned by MI. VIII
liams is relegated to a position on the inside Of tie
Paper, in inconspicuous type, and the statement Of
the Courier News itself is confined to about asauaf-
ter Of a column Of editorial. The false statement
was bfazoned forth so that all the world might see ;
the acknowledgement of its falsity and a demon
stration thereof might easily pass notice altogether.
This is the method employed by the Courier News
in balancing up the account.

BEAUTY HINTS

You know her, of course-the
woman who is always so perfectly
groomed, so consciously groomed
and yet who always looks such a
fright!
Perhaps you've wondered how it
Is that when she spends the time
and the money she looks so dreadful,
and perhaps your clever brain has
solved the mystery and you know
she just isn't a groomed sort of
person!
She's a wild, woodsy kind and
she'd be so sweetly attractive with a
sort of natural d~isarray-the kind
you have to study to get! But she
will net her hair, get it all back in
severely neat waves under a net,
without a loose flying bit. And so
you look at her piquant little in
genue face with a feeling of disap-
Observation-Disclosures wrong, you
think!
And her eyebrows-she's had
them drawn down to such a narrow
little line 81 that instead of accentu-
ating the c~hildishness of her face
they simply give her a sort of weak
willed look. She needed the softness
OF rather wide brows with outlines
not too smart.
Her complexion she insists upon
giving that distinctly tailored air.
Its permanency spoils the picture.
even though she really could be nat
urally pretty.
She looks altogether too put. She
didn't take herself into consideration
at all when she decided how she was
going to make herself look and so,
instead of making the most of her
pretty self. she is diminishing the
beauty which she has.
OF course, you're not such a
wastrel? You shouldn't be!
