Editorial Comment
Power and Light by Corporations
lRenyjllc County Farmer

ttenvllUc County EarmerD
The cities Of this district had q fair understanding
last week OF what electric current furnished by 4 large
corporation means.
The city Of Mohall was among the towns that we're
without light and power for nearly three days. and every
business firm suffered to q certain extent. Those vino
have been injured have q right to demand that such 4
thing shall not occur again.
What the Renyille County Farmer said about the
power last week and what 1t Is saying this week is not
about employees Of the company IN any respect, but 1t
IS about the power company. We have the highest rcgar!
for all Of the employees and know that they did all In
their power to avert such . condition.
1t Is the system and circumstances that We contend are
wrong. The power company Is attempting to furnish
power for Mchall and Sherwood from q supply station
that is nearly 100 miles away, and Is doing 1t without any
power station or auxiliary plant at this end to take care
ct its patrons. in case anything goes wrong Ct the main
plant CT on the line near the plant.
Last week the line near tho main plant went down IN
a storm and threw the entire system on this end In the
dark for three days. Il is our contention that the power
company should have resources 1t this end Of the line
70 take care Of The towns affected.
We want to 80 just another step further in this matter.
We believe that 1t Is all wrong when the North Dakota
stat: railway commission grams . franchise to any util-
It has not the proper means for furnishing power to the
towns 1t Is to serve. We mean by this that they should be
able IN = very few hours 70 furnish current from the
opposite end Of the line than where the line i out Of
commission.
We believe that many Of the light and power companies
o. today % not depend on any one plant for their cur.
rent. h0t are always IN readiness With current from m
other auxiliary plant. i Is our belief that the towns 80
auxiliary station be provided for them, as m emergency
situation.
The power company has been getting BY this way Tor
several years, and win continue the same system unless
. different situation. It is 70 their interest to do tina,
way. they are making good money handling the towns
In this way. and q little complaint from . few individuals
docs not bother them A great deal.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
protruding Ears


Question: d. A. S. asks: will
you please tell me how to correct pro-
truding ears In a 7~.year.old boy?
When he was born his ears lay close
to his head. but as a baby he con-
stantly rolled his head on his pillow
then awake. to which we attribute
the condition. Hts younger brothers
and hts mother and father do not
have this kind of ears"
Answer: Projecting ears are us
ually caused by the child lying on the
ears which are pushed forward while
sleeping. With children. the condt-
ton can be corrected by ~bandaging
the ears or using adhesive tape to
hold the ears back. while with adults
plastic surgery may be necessary to
correct the condition.

Sudden Acceleration In Planes
 Dangerous to Pilots, Expert Says

Paris, Dec. 20 R}-Dr. Garsaux, chief medical examiner of licensed pilots, has found that it is rapid ac- celeration and not speed, that is dangerous to airmen.
 Man, he says, can travel a hun dred miles a minute without physi- cal harm or great discomforts, but too quick a start or too sudden a stop may mean death.
 Like Elevator Sensation
 Just as many people feel sink ing sensation in a fast elevator, so aviators suffer various phenomena when acceleration is too great, in a dive or other acrobatics.
 The difficulty. the doctor #cX- plains. is that blood is displaced in the body with great rapidity. strik- ing weak vessels on the exterior often rupturng them. Something akin to a sudden stops occurs in turning corners in a speed test, such IS the Schneider cup races. centri- tugal motion causing a tremendous rush of blood in one direction.
 One of the curious facts revealed by many laboratory experiments is that motion of the head during acceleration instantly causes dizzi- ness.
New Britain herald., 1929-12-20

None of these difficulties occur in ordinary flying, but Dr. Garsaux, and other specialists have carried on their research work for several years, believing that ultimately speed now impossible will be at tained and their work will prove valuable.
 One Pilot Stands Speed
 The mail seaplane launched by catapult from the He De France reaches speed of nearly 70 miles an hour in less than a second. yet the pilot, Domergue, experiences no ill effects. If, however, an aviator reached speed of 200 or 250 miles an hour in one or two seconds it is calculated that the physical effect might be serious.
 Duration of aCcclcration also seems to have bad effects. Up to three seconds aviatorS have cXpCr- fenced little discomfort while at q slower increase of speed, but last ing six seconds, there was discom- fort.
 One effect of sudden high speed was to blind the aviator momen- tarily, sight returning immediately after the acceleration decreased.

ITALY IS WINNING
 BATTLE OF GRA|N'
Farmers Wage War to Keep Out
 Foreign-Gr0Wn Wheat

Rome. Dec. % LP)-ltaly is win ming "Thc Battle of Grain" An nually she fights this battle, anl once a year she decides who has won the struggle
 "The Battle of Grain" as Musso iini calls it, is the struggle of wheat growers in Italy against foreign farmers. In a nutshell it is the battle Of Benito ALussolini to make Italy Independent of the wheat fields in the United States, Argen- tina. Canada and Australia.
 The annual day of reckoning this year yielded these figures. In Oc- tober, 1929, Italy imported 237,7GD hundrodWeight of grain. In the same month of the preceding year she imported 1.944,753 hundred. weight. This is gain of 1.7O4.933 hundredWcight In the four months from July 10 October. Italy brought in G,6l6,720 hundredweight Last year, for the same period. she i'm ported 7,072,G97, This bottercd the trade balance by $30.000,OO0.
 Italy hopes that next year she will be completely indc~ ~cndent of foreign producers of wheat. This will conclude one phase of her struggle to make herself self-suffi- cicnt in the three great raw mate rals. wheat, coal and steel. She is rapidly becoming independent of coal by developing hydro electric resources. She will probably never be indcpondcnt in the case of iron and steel.
 Mussolini is fighting "rhe Battle of Grain with laws. One law says that a farmer may not abandon his farm without permission from the provincial government. This per mission is rarely given. If he goes without permission he is liable 10 arrest
 Another law says that owners of wide tracts of land are to place a certain percentage of that land un- der cultivation. If they do not. their land is confscated, or they pay fines.
 Then six months ago the govern ment, to aid the farmer, sharply increased the import duties on wheat.
 The combination of all these of forts has given the desired resu', And the price of bread, despite th' increased import tax, has decreased
