Have an Editorial Page.

If there is any paper on earth that
needs an editor, an editorial policy
and an editorial page, that paper is
the country weekly. The big daily
has a page of editorials, but you or
do not know who writes it. 1t lacks
entirely the personal and intimate
touch, the point of contact. While
some of it may have subconscious
effect, it lacks the influence of the hui
man editorial written by your friend,
or even your enemy, someone you
know. On the shoulders of the coun-
try editor, the weekly and the small
town daily, has fallen the mantle of
the personal journalism of today. Let
him measure up to the fine and
blessed heritage that is his.-Wiscon-

TOWEL IN BODY;

Paterson Woman Claims It Was Left There During Caesa-can Operation
 And Caused Much Trouble

Paterson, N. J., Jan. 2S.-Charg- ing Dr. William II. Jacob with hav- ing sewed q towel in her body while performing a caesarean operation on her on June 8, last, Mrs. Mary Van Lenten and her husband, Charles Van Lenten of this city, filed suit yesterday against the physician for the recovery of S6O,00O damages.
 Dr. Jacob, in an interview, admit ted that he performed the opera tion, but declared that the charge was false, and he said that 1t was simply impossible for him to have left the towel in Mrs. Van Lenten's body. He said he would contest the suit.
 Mrs. Van Lenten charges that she was made ill repeatedly after the operation and was unable to under stand the nature of her ailment un- til November of 1924. when at a second operation the towel was re- moved. The towel still bore the imprint of St. Joseph's hospital, where the first operation was per- formed by Dr. Jacob.

SAYS ]. s. MUST
 CUT HER CLAIMS
Dubois Tells French Chamber
 Debt Bill Is Too High

By The Associated Press.
 Paris Jan. 2S.-Refraining from sentimental outburst, and treating the debt of France to the United States from what he characterized as a business mans viewpoint, Louis Dubois, former president of the reparation commission declared af- ter the conclusion of a long address in the chamber of deputies today that the United States must consid- erabIy reduce her claim against France, not only in equity and righ: but also to safeguard her own interests.
 NJ. Dubois throughout based his arguments upon figures, the accur- acy of whieh he vouched for through the knowledge he had acquired while heading the reparation con- mission. He paid special attention to the recent speech of Senator Be- rah on the debt question, asserting that instead of the 26,0O0, 0,0OO,0O0 gold marks ($6,500, 1000, ,000) which Senator Borah said France had re- ceived from Germany on reparation account he (Dubois) had adduced the figures to show that Germany up to last September had paid to all the allies, according to reparation commission figures, less than s. 500, 100000 gold marks, of which more than 5,500,000,000 were for oc- cupation costs and coal advances un- der the Spa agreement. As for Frances receipts from Germany he said:
 "I bring you figures to show that France has only received 144,O0O,- 900 gold marks in cash and 1,I33,- 000,0OO gold marks in kind, includ- ing the Sarre mines valued at 3OO,- 00O.000 gold marks"
 He could not believe, said NJ. Dl- bois, that America and England would demand from France nearly twice the amount which they had de- termined France should receive from Germany under the Dawes ] plan. which he placed roughly at | 15,006,OOO,00 gold marks over q period of thirty-seven years, while Frances total debts to the United States and England he computed at more than 7,O0O,OO0,00O gold marks, principal and interest.

I'm the great ma jority of cases the guillo-
tinr knife cuts through the gland, although
there is Just a possibility that it may
pass above it, especially in long-necked

In Olivier's case it was agreed with his
consent that a line should be tattOOed
across the back Of his neck to show the
cxecUtiOner where he should cut. II was
also agreed that the executoner and his
assistants would handle Olivier more care
fully than is usual with condemned MUIR
dcrers, so that his body might lie exactly
where the knife would hit the dotted line.
The unfortunate man became intensely
interested in the experiment. He repeat

afraid of hurting his feelings.

tackled farms daringly, killing, torturing
and robbing the farmers, and the whole
countryside loudly demanded protection
from the police.
At last the Lille police caught one of
the band named Dandooven. Fearing that
blame for most of the crimes would be
put on him, Dandooven told the police
about the caves and cellars where the
bandits hid. The police were then able
to arrest all the bandits.
While Olivier was being brought in be-
tween two policemen for examination he
saw Dandoveen standing in front of him.
With a savage leap he sprang on him,
and. uttering one word "TraitOrw struck
at him with knife he had mysteriously

by the guards and Dandoveen was only
slightly wounded.
Olivier was sentenced to be guillotined
and the rest Of the gang were sent for
long terms to the penal colony of French

Tiger" and was one Of the strongest and
