The Caldwell Tribune's Hired Man
had some sensible advice concerning
cancers in his department last week
He saws: "The Hired Man has been
reading some advertisements about
cancers. He had also been getting
hold Of some work done alone this
line by DR.. Cue Of our city, and so he
dropped in on him to chat little
about this dreaded disease. Cue told
me more in few minutes than | ever
knew about cancers. They are not
such terribly dreadful thing after
all. The secret Of the whole matter
is getting after the thing early in its
life, and then if you have it, some
thing desperate must be done instant
er. Then besides, il is not such des-
perate thing, either that ought to be
done. There is the sore place some
where on your body. IL arouses your
suspicion. Get somebody who knows,
TO look it over II he decides it is a
cancer just have him run keen knife
blade around il, and slip 1t out, root
and branch II really won't hurt very
much, and by the application of a
local anesthesia, the hurt is really not
so painful. There is so much hOrrid
looking picture advertising in these
latter days, so much scary stuff print
ed, that a cancer patient is half out of
his wits from the very beginning
The scripture says that just as man
thinks, he is going TO be, as sure as
the world. That means in this con-
nection, that if man has wart on
his check, and somebody makes him
think il is cancer, he will be just as
uneasy as if it were a real cancer, and
he will pay somebody just as much
for taking the wart off, as he would
pay for removing real cancer. A
barber could take the wart off for
Sl.75, but if the victim were made TO
believe il was a cancer, he would
plank down the price of two rat steers
TO have it taken off The Hired Man
doesn't know very much about can
GERS, or anything else, but | submit
that il is poor policy to secretly en-
terrain the belief that your sore is a
cancer, and go to corresponding and
spending money with somebody away
off whom you do not know, when you
have physicians within two hours
drive, or even within four city blocks,
who have seen many and who can
handle them in their earlier stages
with perfect assurance. There are q
good many other sores that one car
have and not have a cancer either"

"An attempt 10 torpedo home rule
is John Redmond's character sketch OF
the abortiye Irish revolt. That's the
way il looked from this distance.
Home Rule, as it turned out, ought TO
be strengthened, since Irish sentiment
was fairly tested and proved worthy,
The ill-starred and quickly suppressed
revolt afforded the opportunity of
proving that Ireland is loyal beyond
all question.

The financial statement was accept
ed and approved by unanimous vote.
The building plans being worked
out by the Board of Education were
then discussed. Mr.. William w.
Tyrie, of the firm of Tyrie & Chap
man, architects, of Minneapolis, then
showed on a screen the front elevation
and floor plans of the proposed build
ing by means of slides and the school
stereopticon.
The proposed building would be
erected along Fourth street and be
built in connection with the present
High School building. It's length
would be $50 feet and greatest width
~ feet. 1t would be known as the
Junior High School building, and
would accommodate about 1926 pupils,
besides furnishing administration
rooms, a good gymnasium with need
ed adjuncts, and assembly room for
the entire school, The plans also
contemplate a central heating plant
directly south of the industrial build
ing which will heat all four buildings.
The halls Of the new building would
connect with the halls of the present
high school building, practically max
ing it all one building.
The basement floor would contain
the gymnasium on the south end, and
the slope of the ground will give
chance for a good high ceiling without
requiring much excavation and with
out disturbing the level of the first
floor.
The junior assembly room would be
on the south end of the first floor, and
would be designed to accommodate
the seventh, eighth and ninth grades.
The latter would correspond to the
Freshman class of the high school.
The three higher classes would use
the present high school room, and for
general school exercises would pass
into the gallery of the assembly room
on the same floor.

found very practical wherever tried

natured at that, for more peaceful
school meeting was never held 1T

ment is more in detail than has been
the case heretofore 1t has the ad-
vantage of being uniform throughout
