Take Cancer In Time,

An English specialist declares that
''too late has yet to be said in one
half or three-fourths of the cancer
cases when seen by the operating sur

view that cancer has usually pre-
cancerous stage and that this stage is
the one in which an operation ought

of saving many lives.

NOT POPULAR, SAYS JONES
Senator FuItOn'S Convention Plan
Does Not Meet Favor in
Western Oregon.
(Eyening Telegram)

Senator Fulton's scheme for State
Republican Convention, for selecting
and recommending suitable candi-
dates" for the various state offices,
does not meet with popular approval
throughout the state, says Benjamin
F. Jones, a well-known attorney of
Toledo, Lincoln County, who was in
Portland, Saturday. Mr.. Jones says
he has travelled through the counties
of Linn, Benton, Lincoln and Polk,
since the scheme was proposed, and
finds that the sentiment there is
decidedly against it.
'The general sentiment is that the
direct primary nominating elections
law should be given a fair test" said
Mr.. Jones. ''The people seem to feel
much as Lincoln said, that if the law
is poor one, take it off the books.
But they would first give it a trial"
In his home county, says Mr.. Jones,
the sentiment is unanimously against
the convention plan, The general
impression, says he, is that the pro-
posed convention plan would subvert
the intent and purpose of the direct
primary law.
Mr.. Jones denied the rumor current
some time ago that he is candidate
for Congress at the next state election.

notice not to sell any wormy or in
fected fruit, especially wormy apples
and pears or fruit with the San Jose

right and that they now have law

fruit.
The law that forbids the merchant
from handling such fruit also forbids

infected with San Jose scale. AS it
is my duty to see that the law is obeyed,
/ warn all persons against it's viola
tion. BY so doing, costs and trouble
will be avoided. intend to do my
duty in enforcing this law.
We can all see the Importance Of

require every one to spray and clean
their fruit trees. The apple and pear
crop is very short in Polk county.
Strictly AL Bartlett pears are worth $50

per pruning, thorough spraying and
good cultivation. j. b. MUM,

Interesting 1t is to compare the pro- ceedings of the first National Congress of Mothers in February, 1897, with those of the one held this year. For years Mrs Theodore Birney, who founded the organization, had been thinking of what mothers might and should do to improve the human race. She knew they had only to be informed of what was best to follow 1t, for the mother will do anything to help her children.
 At length Mrs. Birney began to write letters to prominent women and few men In various parts of the land pro- posing a national association and an- nual meeting of mothers and those in- terested in giving childhood Its best chance. The answers she received were emlnently favorable. The late Jenny June Croley wrote that the education most needed was that of the mothers themselves, thus:
 '"The education of the mother Is par ticularly needed at the two extremes or the social scale-the very rich, who give their children over to the care Of servants, and the very poor, who con- sign them to the street"
 Professor G. Stanley Hall, who has delved deep into the psychological study of child nature, wrote, Your work has my most hearty sympathy and praise"

Twenty States have laws, more or less defective, restrics- ing child labor in factories and else where. Mrs. Kelley says the best chil l labor laws are those of Colorado, llll- nois, Ohio and New York.
 The mightiest effort of the united mothers flor the past two or three years, however, has been directed against Mormonism, and there they have shown that the free mothers of America are a power not to be regard ed lightly Neither has the Congress omitted to call attention to the grew some fact that those who most cruelty abuse little children are many time their own parents. Mrs. Birney in one of the last addresses made before the convention said:
 T once saw a mother standing, white with anger, over a little girl of 6, who was kneeling and with trembling, tiny uplifted hands was pleading: oh mamma, do not beat me! Please dc not beat me!
