success. Thousands of lives all over
the country might be saved if people
only knew the Importance of recog-
nizing these early signs. This in
formation spread broadcast is the
most important means Of preventing
cancer. Prevention is vastly more
important than cure.
People should be warned against
the so-ealled cancer "cures." There
are no such cures as the cancer ia
kris would make one believe. If the
best brains of the world, after dill
igent search of 25 year cannot find
it, it is absurd to think that the ig-
norant charlatan has discovered it..
Such cancer "cures" may be entirely
inert and harmless or positively in
furious. Many cancers claimed to
have been cured by these remedies
we're not cancers at all. The claims
of most charlatans when looked into
prove to be misrepresentation or
downright lies. 1t is easy to cure a
cancer that never was cancer. Such
remedies through their irritating
qualities might easily cause a harm
less growth to develop int GA cancer
The most serious result, though, in
many of these eases is the loss OF
time, so that the cancer gets beyond
the stage of successful operation
The promoters of the so-called "can-
Ger cures" take advantage of the
victims pitiable condition and play
upon his weakness and his pocket
book. The sick person will grasp a

Cancer Taking Biggest
Toll Of All Diseases

More people in the United States
are now dying of cancer than Of any
other disease. One woman out Of
every eight and one man out of every
fourteen, according to the law Of av-
erages, will die Of cancer. Cancer
has been on the increase since
1880. During the about about 3d.
600 United States lost their lives.
The whole nation has mourned for
them. During the same time 100000
United States citizens lost their
lives from cancer and without caus-
ing any special comment.
Cancer seems to be disease large
ly of modern times. 1t is more pre-
valent in large cities than in rural
sections and especially is this so in
the industrial centers. Certain forms
Of cancer are associated with the
workers in certain trades, such as
the paraffin workers, the coal tar
and the chimney sweeps of England.
Cancer was rare among the North
American Indians, the Eskimo and
the American negroes Of slavery
times. 1t has become more preva-
lent with the negro since he has be-
come a part of modern civilization.
The cause of cancer is not abso-
lutely known. Scientists all over
the world have been continually
working for the past % years to
discover the cause and cure. The
belief is that it is caused by some
form Of constant irritation upon GER
tain parts Of the body. Such irri-
tation may be by light, heat, electric
ity, X-ray chemicals or mechanical
pressure. The cells of these certain
parts of the body begin to multiply
under constant irritation and as
sumo such size and distribution that
illness and death occur.
The constant rubbing of dirty
rough teeth upon the lining Of the
mouth; the irritation of too hot fooC
and drink upon the tongue; the pres
sure of the pipe stem upon the lips
the constant rubbing and irritation
of warts, moles and scars; repeated

SCRUB sIREs CHECKING
PROGRESS or DAIRYING

The dairy industry in Kentucky
will make slow progress until the
percentage of purebred animals re-
ported in the 1920 census is increas-
cd, according to J. ]. Hooper, head
Of the dairy department Of the Col
lege Of Agriculture. Census figures
show that only 1.S per cent Of the
659,794 dairy cattle in the state are
purebred while only 16 per cent OF
the 1866 dairy bulls being used in
herds Of the state are purebred.
"This is lamentable condition
that will hold the dairy industry or
the state in check as long as it con-
tinues to exist" Mr.. Hooper said.
If the state is to go forward as rap
idly as possible in the dairy bust
ness the "a grade and scrub bulls in
every 100 must be replaced by ami
mails of better breeding"
According to the census figures
the $500 purebred cattle in Ken
lucky are distributed as follows:
Ayrshires, 6 males and IA fe-
males; Guernseys, % males and Is
females; Holsteins, 443 males and
1908 females; Jerseys, Glib males
and 5,S0S females; miscellaneous,
los males and 1914 females.

"With the opening Of the menu
bership books of the association
said Mr.. Passonneau, "new members
have joined the association, even
more extensively than had been agE-
ticipated. If the same rate Of sign
up continues until the 10th Of De(
cember, the pool viii undoubtedly

the books are finally closed. In fact,
I would not be surprised if we suc-
ceeded in getting more than 90 per
cent of all hurley tobacco growers
in the four states represented in the
contract.
''When the pool was declared as
formed on November 16, something
over $4,000 contracts had been turn
ed il TO the organization. This num-
Der has been swelled to over 3d.
900. This does not mean, however,
that 5000 names have been added

of tobacco that had been pledged

blows upon the breast, ETC., may
cause cancer. Cancer of the mouth
is common among the natives Of GER
tain parts Of India who chew betel
nut. Mothers who have a large
number of children are most likely
to develop cancer than those who
have had few or no children. X-ray
operators are especially prone to
cancer through the burns which they
frequently receive.
The smoker is especially suscep-
tible to cancer. In the many cases
of cancer of the mouth observed, the
victims are almost invariably smok-
ers. The pressure and temperature
of the pipe stem and the irritating
qualities of the tobacco together
stimulate the tissue of the lips, the
cheeks and tongue toward cancer
Gus growth.
Cancer is not inherited. Many
people fear this. Their fears are
groundless. 1t is doubtful that even
a tendency toward cancer is inher-
tied. In some families there does
seem to be some slight evidence of
this. The general prevalence of can
Ger might readily account for its oc-
curing in several members of fam
ily. Some families seem to have a
relatively high degree of immunity
against it. In such families it sell

} Cancer is not communicable. In
} other words, it is not bacterial or
parasitic infection. One might live
in intimate relations with a person
with cancer without fear of catch
ing it. Doctors and nurses do not
get it from contact in performing
operations.
Cancer may appear in youth, but
it generally develops in persons be-
tween forty and sixty years Of age
1t begins when the vigor of life
wanes and gathers strength as vi
tally diminishes.
Cancer most commonly occures il

SURPRISED the Mavor

A number of kind friends of the
Editor, V. E. Lawson, sprang sur
prise upon him last Thursday evening.
At the close of the meeting of the
City Council he was asked to accom-
pany Alderman Freeberg to the Carl
son Hall where, it was said, Co.
operative project was being discussed.
Quite few people, from the city and
country, gathered at the hall. Sud-
denly the doors to the dining room
burst open and the Willmar Citizens
Band stationed there gave a selection
and several encores. Attorney Charles
johnson made a eulogistic speech and
on behalf OF those present gave the
Mayor an envelope containing a sum
OF over $4,000. The object Of this
kindness attempted to make a respon-
Sc as best he could, and then Mr.. J. F.
Dugan followed with one Of his heart
to- heart talks. 1t is understood that
the donors of the money wish it to
be used for furnishings for the Office
rooms of the Mayor. He extends his
sincere thanks to all who participated
in this affair and to the members of
the band for their serenade. There
are incidents in the life of everyone
that never can be forgotten, and this
is one in the life Of the writer that
will always be gratefully remembered
