phases and the difference between
any two ~ phases is greater than
twenty (20) per cent of the lesser,
then the energy to be charged and
paid for shall be computed on the
assumption that the current and
therefore the energy taken from
each of the three 90 phases is
equal to the greatest amount taken

RippZng
OF the Rivers

An editor in Nebraska writes:
We've never said much about
it for fear it would get out, but
it's wonderfully easy to publish
a newspaper. An editor never
gets tired or has to work nights
and that is why he seldom has
a vacation. If you run a news
paper you always feel good and
you have no worries and hun
dreds of people write in to tell
you what a nice paper you have.
Everybody helps by phoning in
the news, always on time, and
they never ask you to print
anything but interesting news
You never have to remind any
BODY to pay a bill and all your
creditors say take your time,
we don't need money
Linotype operators and proof
readers never, make mistakes.
The amount of type each week
exactly matches the amount of
space. Advertisers always get
their ads in on time, a preSsman
never comes in from the back
shop and says a casting has
broken or a motor is making an
alarming noise. You just sit in
the office and think pleasant
thoughts and listen to the radio.
There are so. many things
that make running a newspaper
a snap that we can hardly think
Of them all. Paper is always
easy to get and the wholesalers
are constantly lowering the
price. People who get into jams
with the law never come in and
ask you to keep it out of the
paper. With $50 subscriptions
expiring every 80 days people
never blame you for stopping
the paper if they forget to pay
up and the always laugh it off
if anybody in the office makes
a mistake.
"Your wife actually gets tired
of you hanging around home
every evening and Sunday, of
the 100000 or more separate

types each week no name ever
gets misspelled and it is always
plain as day when a contribut-
or writes Friday August 16' that
he was looking at a July cal
endar and meant August 20, SO
YOU get it in the paper correct
ly Another nice thing about it
all, too, is that you never have
the time for your printers all
promised up to Saturday quit
ting-time when somebody comes
in with a rush job he could
have brought in a week before.
We could go on and on. But in
spite of all the pleasant monot-
ony of running a newspaper,

Crow Agency Men
Stronded On
Mountain Two Days

Raymond Cooley, maintenance
engineer of the Billings district
office, Bureau of Indian Affairs,
returned to his home last FRI
day after having been stranded
for two days, together with
Lawrence FaIrbairn, range con-
Servationist of Crow Agency, on
Windy Point in the Big Horn
mountains.
The pair departed from Crow
Agency the previous Wednesday
for Hunters cabin to install a
radio. The army half-track in
which they were travelling broke
down at Red Springs, near
Windy Point and they were UNI
able to get the engine and gem
orator in operation so they could
send out a radio call for help.
They spent Wednesday night
in the cab of the half-track. On
Thursday morning, after an I'M
successful attempt to start the
motor again, Mr.. Fairbairn
started out on foot down the
mountain Tor assistance. AII6T
walking about II miles he was
picked up by j. r. Boyd OF
Wyola and taken to the Boyd
ranch where he telephoned
Crow Agency for assistance.
A rescue party was organized
by Ray Powers at his ranch and
accompanied by Gordon Powers,
range supervisor at the agency,
Using trucks, horses and a Jeep,
the party reached the disabled
half-track about 1920 a. m.
Friday. Mr.. Cooley had spent
his second night, Thursday, in
the cab of the vehicle without
food or water and while he SUI
fered from exposure, he was in
good spirits when reached.
Mr.. Cooley and Gordon Pow
ers arrived at Crow Agency at
1880 %. m. Friday and Mr.. Cool
ey departed for his home In
Billings that afternoon.
