Z A turkey one day observed a pea
cock in the farm yard and immediate
ly began to find fault with it.
"You vain, conceited bird" said the
turkey, you are proud of your looks,
and yet you are of no value in the
economy of nature. Why do you strut
around and regard all others with dis
dain?"
"You make a mistake" 3plied the
peacock. Il am not now admiring my
self, though should be excused for
doing so. Next Thursday is Thanks
giving, and was merely indulging in
a cakewalk because am not big, fat
turkey like you"
Moral: Beauty is only skin deep,
but edibility extends to the bone.

NEW LIGHT ON THE PREVAIL
 ENCE OF CANCER

The Director of Census has recently announced plans which promise an important extension of our knowledge of cancer. At the suggestion of the American Society for the Control of Cancer he has ordered the publication of the mortality statistics of this dis ease in much fuller detail than hither- to. As soon as the 1914 returns are received from the states and cities which make up the United States Reg lstratlon Area, they will be made the subject of special cancer monograph. When the figures are subsequently, published In the annual report of the DlV'slon ot Vital Statistics the deaths from cancer will be grouped under some thirty headings, instead of only seven, as heretofore. This means that tAe returns of deaths from malignant dlSefse will be classified by parts and organs of the body affected as in the standard reports of the Registrar ueneraI of England and Wales. While 'nlS change may not at first appear 'o De oI consequence to the public, It mas practical bearings that may
The Prescott daily news., 1915-02-04

prove of considerable importance. This detailed analysis of cancer mor- tality in the United States should bring out new and useful information as to the prevalence of the disease. and thereby contribute to the better understanding of it's controllable fea- lures. Such a study as the Census Bureau purposes to make should also throw clearer light on the question of whether or not cancer is really in creasing. The foremost authorities have repeatedly urged that this ques- tion can be scientifically answered only by studying separately the facts in regard to each of the many forms and sites of malignant disease. The last report of the Imperial Cancer Re search Fund again warns the public to disregard statements of the in- crease or decrease of cancer as a whole, but to seek light rather from comparing the figures for cancer of the stomach, cancer of the tongue, can cer of the breast, etc., for successive years. By the progressive action of the Director of the Census the detailed information as to the parts of the body affected, on which such studies can be made, will be made public for the first time in the official statistics of the United States.

EGG LAYING CONTEST
 PROVING P'" S

That the poultry tnsi S heartily endorse the f,
 ansas Agricultural Fx' inc
 tion to establish an egg ayiNg co est
 between the various breeds of DO t.. raised in this state S exempt the fact that more than 20 of tn, ing poultry raisers have contrih
 30 various breeds to take part tn
 contest at Fayetteville.
 The plan to establish an egg laying contest for Arkansas poultrymen was announced by Dean Martin Nelson of the College of Agriculture last June Since the state has never supplied funds for the poultry experimentation
 and with scarcely any means in sight
 the erection of satisfactory plant and equipment was slow and difficult However, with these difficulties sur
 mounted and with the hearty coopera- tion and support of poultrymen in al-
 most every district in Arkansas about 30 pens have been stocked for the contest which is now in progress and which will continue for one year.
 "The stock placed by the growers i5 fine" said Dean Nelson, "and leading lpoultrymen have pronounced the
 plant with it's stock a splendid thing" The following breeds are entered in
 the contest; White Wyandottes, Buff Orphingtons, White Leghorns, Minor cas, White Orphingtons, Columbian Rocks, Brown Leghorns, White Rocks,
 Barred Rocks, Buff Leghorns, Rhode Island Reds, Anconas, Golden Camp ines, White Face Black Spanish, Sil- yer Campines, Silver Laced Wyan-
 dottes, Buff Rocks and Black Minor cas.
 The poultrymen who have contri- buteed fine stock: Cumins Radcliffe.

How Vaccination Saves Hogs

Farm and Preside the national farm paper published at Springfield, Ohio, is publishing an important construc- tive series of articles on hog cholera. The immense ravages of the disease are being reported and valuable sug gestions for eradicating the disease are being presented. D. S. Burch, as- sociate editor of the publication, is writing the articles and he shows why vaccination is of prime impor. tance. On this subject he says in part:
 Here is the best answer:
 "One man had 108 hogs, did NOT vaccinate them, and lost 98 from cholera.
 Another had 165 hogs, did NOT vaccinate them, and lost 15O from cholera.
 "Another had 37 hogs, did NOT vac cinate them, and lost 31 from cholera
 "Here is companion piece to the foregoing list. Note how these lists compare: "One man had 186 hogs, had them VACCINATED and lost 2 from cho- lera. Another had Ill hogs had them VACCINATED and lost 0 from cho- lera.
 Another had 92 hogs, had tho.n VACCINATED and lost 2 fro "io lera"

The statewide game bill will be amended to exclude so many counties that it will look like a Confederate battle flag that has been in many en- counters, when the Assembly is through with it. It will be nothing more than local bill by then, unless the authors can prevent the stampede. The bill will require every hunter who uses dog to pay license. The men who fish for market, as we'll as the deer hunter who uses dogs, will be required to pay a high license. The nonresident hunter not being mentioned in the bill, the present laws, if enforced, being considered adequate to deal with them.

The Cazort bill which repeals the mine run law in Johnson county will come before the Senate during this week, it already having been reported from the House, and the fight pro mises to be especially bitter. The la bor men realize that if the Senate passes this measure that similar bills will be introduced to repeal the state wide screen bill in other counties, or all in one bill. The coal operators claim they have 25 votes, but the labor men have a large lobby about the Sen ate and hope to block the passage of the Cazort bill.

 ".The railroad companies have filed exceptions to all of the claims allowed by the Masters denying liability on all of them on many grounds and questioning the sufficiency of the proof in many cases, and also on the ground that many of the shipments were in terstate and not intrastate shipments. The State has intervened and prays that from the refunds allowed that it be reimbursed for the $65,OO0 which it has expended in defense of the rate suits and for such further sums as it has incurred for counsel
 "The following offer of compromise has been made:
