HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES T
OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF
''Ihe Tale of the Galloping TOOTH
EVERYBODY:

HELLO EVERYBODY:
l. You may have been in France during the unpleas-
antness that went on there in l914-1918. You may have seen
towns shelled to a crunbGng ruin. You may have seen regi-
ments decimated by poison gas. You may have seen men
torn to pieces by bursting grenades and families pauperized
and turned out of their homes by the onward plunge of the
great German war machine. You may think you know all
the horrors of war, but Don Aspinwal of Rochelle Park, N.
j., will tell you you haven't seen anything.
Don was somewhere in the Vilers Cotteret area on spe-
cil duty with the Second division. A deafening barrage had
been rolling back and forth across the lines for more than
two hours. The Germans were tossing every form of pyro-
technic display in their bag of tricks. Huge 9.2s roared
overhead like great express trains. Machine-gun bullets
tipped by. An occasional ash can from a miniewerfer bat
terry would tumble lazily through the early morning haze to
spread itself with a devastating roar in front of the barbed
wire. 1t was a swell time to be someplace else. But horror?
Horror, nothing! The real horror was going on right inside
Don Aspinwals face.
Don Had a Toothache.
1t was undoubtedly the outstanding disaster of the whole
war. 1t had been going on for "a hours and Don was con-
WINGED that if it went o n two hours longer nothing could keep the
Germans from taking Paris. And Don was miles away from any pos.
siDle agency of relief. The only thing that could have stopped that
ache would be a wenLplaced bullet, and Don was all in favor of that.
Il tell you" he says. 1.-The actual Gospel truth. I poked my head over

Begin Business
Census For 1910

About go workers have begun
taking the census of all bust
ness and manufacturing organ
llatlonS in eastern Montana for
the 18th decennial census, &C
cording to willard E. Fraser,
area manager of the census
bureau at Billings.
1t IS hoped, he said, that all
business men in Montana will
cooperate as fully this year as
they did in 1880 with the CEN
suS enumerators.
The census of business, he
added, is a census of businesses
OF America to aid the business
SeS of America. Many large ma
tlon-wide retailing distributors
and advertisers maintain in
constant touch with the bureau
OF census to ascertain where
they have a market for their
products, and they consider
census figures carefully before
they open additional sales
branches or other distributing
outlets.
The census of business is TAX
en- under an act of congress
passed in 1929, and all census
figures are definitely confiden-
tial, and as such are available
to sworn employees of the CEN
sus bureau only, MIR. Fraser
stated.
His statement continued:
Census data can be obtained
for any political unit, such as
city, county, or state, but only
figures in mass are given out
Through the census bureau It
will be possible to obtain fig
ures as to the number of ra-
dios in the country, the num-
Der of bathtubs, the number
of mechanical ice boxes, the
number of employees, the num-
Der of renters, the number of
sheep, the number of acres of
irrigated land - all these and
hundreds Of other similar items
will be given out by the census
office, for the political units
named above.
THE businessmen of America
are asked to make use of the
census bureau for the mutual
benefit of themselves and for
the nation. Any persons having
had positions in assessing, or
any taxation organization, were
not hired in this district as
enumeratOrS."
