80 TO 20

Sank, Centre highs basketball team

MYSTERY OF CANCER.
Evening Wisconsin,

No meaner form of imposition can
be named than that quackery which
preys upon the hopes and fears of per-
sons who believe that they contracted
some serious chronic disease. To pro-
tect those who are suffering from
cancer or are afraid of it the State De-
partment of Health is trying to dis
seminate some real information about
it which will teach the afflicted to
seek relief promptly in proper quar-
tiers, and to keep out of the hands Of
quacks.
The medical profession as yet has
been unable to solve the mystery Of
cancer, but has found out that it is
generally durable in its early stages.
The cure consists in the complete
surgical removal of the growth at the
earliest possible moment. Early dag
nosis, early removal-there is not now
nor has there ever been any other
successful method of curing the dis
ease. There is nothing that anyone
can do to prevent the occurrence OF
cancer except in avoiding certain
specified causes of local irritation.
Research has disposed of the stories
regarding cancer villages" cancer
houses" or cancer BELTS" briefly,
number of cases in house usually
showing that the occurrence of a
number of cases in a house usually
is due to the fact that the occupants
are old people; that cancer villages"
usually are small towns from which
most of the young people have emf
grated, and that in like manner 'can-
Ger belts" are found to be sections of
the country where the population is
distinctly aged.
The idea that cancer is hereditary
is likewise made light of and there
is no reason whatever to worry be-
cause one member Of a family has
suffered from the disease. 1t does not
at all follow that any other member

SPRING.

When is it spring? When spirits rise,
Pure crocus-buds, where the snow
dies;
When children play outdoors till
dark;
When the sap trickles up the bark;
When bits of blue sky fit and sing,
Playing at birds-then is it spring?
When is it spring? When the bee
huns;
When through the open window comes
The breeze, and summer license
climbs.
To swing and toss the picture frames;
When the walk dries; the robins call;
The brown hens doze by the sunny
wall,
One foot drawn up to warm, or sing,
With half-flmed eyes-then is it
spring?
Nay, each might prove a treacherous
sign;
But when old waters seem new wine;
When all our mates are half divine;
When love comes easier than hate.
When we have no more shrugs at
Fate,
But think sometimes of God, and late
Our swiftest serving seems to be;
When bright ways numberless we see,
And thoughts spring up, and hopes
run free,
And wild new dreams are all on wing,
Till we must either fly or sing
With riotous life-be sure it's spring.
Edward Rowland Sill.

The last few years have made mighty change
in the economic and social status of the farmer
and to-day no one class in the country is more
independent, better educated in an all-around
manner and better off in every way. The same
change has taken place in the status of the
farmers 'hired man" whom you must know is
coming to be called "hired agriculturist" The
latter no longer occupies an humble position
working for a meagre wage but ranks, and just
Nv So with the skilled craftsman of other
trades and arts The duties are more eXacting
now because they require better education and
more knowledge of the subject at hand. Ere
quently the 'hired mans" opinions are listened
to with Difference and respect by his boss who
is paying for brains as well as Drawn. That his
wages have increased is shown from the follow
ing taken from the report of the agricultural
department:
Farm wages advanced slightly during the
past year in the principal grain states, and re-
manned stationary or declined slightly in the
cotton states. The higher grain prices and low
er cotton prices influenced such changes. Dur
ing the past year there was less scarcity of farm
labor than during number of preceding years.
For the entire United States wages per day Of
male farm labor increased about 1 per cent dur
ing the past year and averaged about $1.47 with
out board and $1.13 with board. For labor hired
by the month the rate without board increased
during the year 81 cents to S30.15, as compared
with S29.SS last year; rates with board which is
the more general method of hiring, increased
from S21.05 to $21 26-an increase of 81 cents.
Wages have been tending upward almost steadi-
" since 1894. The increase in the past five
five years is about 10 per cent, and in the past
twenty years about 65 per cent. Farm wages
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1916-05-10

vary widely in different sections of the United
States Thus wages per month with board aver
aged S23.71 in the New England states, $24.78
in the east north central states, $27.38 in the
west north central states, $3.50 in the far west
ern states, S15.O1 in the South Atlantic states,
and S1616 in the south central states. General
ly speaking the wages tend to increase in going
from east to west, and in going from south to
north
