cat when they started retaliations
against Editor c. w. H. Bangs, OF the
Huntington News.
Bangs, former high school SUI
perintendent and college president,
started his daily about q year and q
halt ago. When he had got well
started in his editorial criticism of
the bank and the power company it
was his misfortune that he owed
money to the former and depended
for his electric power upon the lat
ter.
The bank took money he had de-
posted against pay checks to apply
upon his debt. and the power COM
pany shut off his power, while his
printers, under the influence OF out
side interests. he alleged, quit in
body. The bank made a complete job
Of his tribulations by throwing him
in Jail on charges of Islander and
criminal libel. He had charged, for
example. that q farmer had been COM
PEELED to pay u per cent interest to
a loan agency, allegedly a bank af-

Used would be renewed.
Friends bailed the editor out OF jail.
Men came in crowds to help install
temporary power generated by an old
Ford car they brought with them.
The linotype operators set type by
hand, and the paper came out on
time. with defiant headlines denounc-
ing both bank and utility company.
Chicago newspapers first told Of his
exploits, and Editor and Publisher Of

to the public-spirited warfare carried
on by this editor, concerning whom It
quotes Huntington citizen as say
Ing, He Is not q radical and IS q
quiet, pleasant fellow to meet"
Now he has . good power plant Of
his own and growing circulation,
plus q name known far beyond the
bounds Of his small city. The inter-
estS which tried to close him down,
after he refused to be frightened as
some others are frightened, still have
him on their hands, and the story
OF their methods has been spread
along with his fame into every news
paper office in the nation.
The publicity has brought the whole
fight against harsh banking practices
and harsh utility practices into the
national Lmelight.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The Clear COMPLEXION Mystery


Thanks to your reader who sent in

Answer-The suggestion given us by

effect Then I began Sopping
my face, after thoro soap and water
washing each night, with glycerine,

powder as would stick, leaving it on

was clear and it has stayed clear"

they suddenly commingle with the

But there Is always the possibility
that such extreme measures may be
used unwisely. Viewed In the light
provided by normal conditions, the
instrument seems repugnant. It
smacks too much Of Old Russia, Of
the days when Roman soldiers drove
Persian slaves under blazing skies, Of
intolerance and brutality, to win
spontaneous favor from the average
individual.

The Worst Ia Over


North Dakota has just undergone
one OF the worst demonstrations OF
bad weather in its history.
For four days or so Old Man Win.
ter reigned supreme, demonstrating
his power and hurting his strongest
legions against the comfort and safety
Of the folk who live in this area.
The disturbance brought danger,
privation and discomfort. Livestock
persisted and some property damage
resulted. Schools we're closed and
some parents spent anxious moments
wondering whether their children
would return home safe.
Even now, when 1t Is over, it seems
pretty bad, but not as much so as
the hurricanes which have ravaged
parts Of our country, the earthquakes
which have shaken others and floods
which have claimed the lives Of hum
dreds, brought misery to thousands.
Even after sample Of the worst
that it can be, the average North Da-
kotan will feel that we have some-
thing on the rest Of the world when
it comes to weather.
Bitter cold usually causes less SUI
fering than intense heat. It is prac-
tically impossible to avoid the latter.
The former can be checked by q good
stove or furnace and an adequate
supply Of coal.
Optimistic? Well, why not? Why
shouldn't everyone be now that It is
all over and the sun Is shining |
again?

1RREGULARITY OF THE TEETH


Letter from q lady about q subjec
which. to her. Is most important:
Dear DR.. Brady:
do not know II you can help
me. but here is my story. I am q
girl Of sixteen years and I have
not gotten my second teeth. The
two front teeth have grown OK.
except for the space OF one-fourth
inch between. I can understand
this because no other teeth are
there to hold them together and
80 they just naturally spread.
I don't believe any of the Sec
ond 1nolars have come through.
Am I to face false teeth before
am seventeen? What can be
the matter with me7
I am in perfect health 80 It
can't be that. My two older
brothers and my older sister have
beautiful strong healthy teeth. My
mother and dad both had good
sound teeth, my dad still has his.
I suppose I am foolish to worry
over something I can't help but
it has developed into an inferior
ity complex which ! have tried
hard to overcome but failed. I
dread to be introduced to the OPP
posite sex. I decline all invita-
lions Of my schoolmates to parties
and I haven't many friends. Ny
mother thinks 1t Is because I
can't agree with them but I know
different but OF course can't
tell her that.
Three years ago ! had an X-ray
picture made Of my mouth and no
teeth were to be seen. Since then
I have developed q fear Of the
dentist. can't tell just Why, but
I have. I am writing this when
nobody Is at home but me, for
fear they will think me foolish.
but II they were In my boots they
would do the same.
I don't know II you can make
head or tail Of this letter but
please try to understand me, and
not think me . foolish, Silly girl.

Blind War Veteran
Will Demonstrate
Use of New IrOner
Position Operating De.
vice First in 4 Years
for Ex-Service Man.

A blind World War veteran is going
to show the public how to operate new
electric flatplate ironer.
The demonstration, which will be put
on by William U. Phillips, who lost his
sight after a motor cycle accident
abroad, is the result of rehabilitation
experiment by the Columbia Poly
technic Institute for the Blind.
Phillips, graduate of the University
of Pittsburgh, formerly was foot ball
star. Before enlisting for service in the
360th Aero Squadron. he worked as
coal mine superintendent
After he became blind. however, he
sought in vain for employment, and his
demonstration will be the first job he
has had for four years.
Doubtful of his ability to master the
device. Phillips practiced in his home,
under the guidance Of his wife. Now,
it is said, he can operate the iron as
we'll as any one.
Ralph H. Campbell. executive secre-
tary of the institute, decided to make
the experiment to prove blind men and
women are capable of doing self-sup-
porting work.
