New Method of Using x-Ray
to Treat Cancer. -. -

LONDON, July I6.-There is nope,
at last, that cancer can be successful
ly treated by means of new discov-
cry in the use of X-rays.
Hundreds and thousands of men
and women all over the world who
are at present suffering from cancer
will be encouraged by the fact that a
new scientific treatment for this
dreadful disease has been discovered,
according to a new report.
Hitherto many drugs, serums and
other treatments have been adopted,
but without success. Among others,
X-rays have been used, but in the
past they have not been powerful
enough to kill large growths.
Radium will undoubtedly kill can
Ger cells, but its influence is very
limited.
Operation Abandoned.
One of our leading radiologists has
recently returned from special trip
to the University of Erlangen, Ba-
varia, where Professor Herman
Wintz has been treating deep-seated
cancers by extremely powerful X
rays. The difficulty in the past has
been to get the full, adequate dose
of X-rays which will kill the growth
down to the center of the cancer with
out destroying the healthy structures
between it and the skin. This has
been overcome at last.
So successful have the results in
the women's clinic at Erlangen been
that all operations for the removal #
cancer have been abandoned.
Eighty per cent of cancers have
been apparently cured by this meth
cd after period of three and hal
years.
The word apparent" is used be-
cause no doctor dare say that cancer
is "cured." All he can say is that
the growth has not recurred.
One or more exposures extending
over several hours is enough. Nc
anaesthetics are necessary as it is
painless. The patient can eat, sleep
and smoke while lying on the table
Within five years, one authority
states, not 10 per cent of cancers will
be treated by surgeons. Z.
Professor Wintz's apparatus has
been installed at the West London
hospital at a very great expense
With the exception Of another owned
by an X-ray specialist, it is the only
apparatus of its kind in use in Eng
land.

REPRESENTATIVE OF GROWERS
ADVISES HOLDING WOOL

George McKerrow. representing
the wool growers of Minnesota at
Chicago, in conversation with
County Agent Dvoracek, advised the
wool growers of Beltrami county to
hold their wool for at least three or
four months when he is confident
the market will revive. He stated
that there is I'D market at all at
present, and that wool has reached
the lowest prices now.
This advice seems indeed timely
and sound, as wool if marketed now
would net the grower very little at
best, as shown by concrete in
stance. The County Agent of 1tasca
reports that farmer who would not
join the county wool pool recently
consigned his clip to firm in Du-
,luth. A week later he received 4
letter asking for remittance to pay
the return freight, as there was no
market for the wool.

HOOVER FACES STRONG
OPPOSITION FOR POST
Powerful Political Enemies
May Keep Him Out Of
New Cabinet
(By United Press)

Marion, Ohio, Jan. s. (By Ray
mond Clapper. )-Powerful political
enemies may succeed in keeping
Hoover out Of the cabinet according
to information today. He had been
tentatively slated for post, probab-
ly that Of labor, but activities among
political opponents have recently be-
come 80 strong as to create serious
doubt in the mind of President-elect
Harding about appointing him.
Harding holds the former food ad-
ministrator in very high regard and
believes he would be valuable in his
cabinet. The opposition of Senator
Penrose and Senator Hiram johnson,
one an old guard leader and the 9TH
er the foremost of the progressives,
is powerful.
In addition there is strong oppo-
sition to Hoover from farmers still
pro. oked over the prices fixed by &C
tivities of the food administration
during the<war.

0NE-THlRD OF RELIEF
FUND ALREADY RAISED
Response of Children and
Adults Has Never Been
Surpassed in State

Minneapolis, Jan. 6.--The response
of children and adults Of modest
means Of the appeal OF Herbert Hoov-
err and The European Relief Council,
never has been surpassed in the his
tory Of Minnesota. judging from re-
cords available at state headquarters
of the European Relief Council which
is seeking $33.OOO,OOO in, the United
States to feed. clothe, and administer
to 100000 European waits until
the next harvest.
Thus far the Minnesota commit
tee has not received official credit for
subscriptions made to the European
Relief Council Fund thru the Literary
Digest or other individual collection
agencies, including the churches. But
every penny given to the cause of
starving humanity will be credited to
the state, city, and village, from
whence the money came.
At present more than five hundred
THOUSAND school children of Mime
sofa have bought Invisible Guest Ger
tifcates. which certify that each
holder has contributed ten dollars to
care for one helpless European boy or
girl until another summers grain
has ripened. More than three thous-
and Invisible Guest certificates have
been purchased by children and
adults, whose contributions were re-
ceived without solicitation.
The first weeks of January will
mark the closing effects of the cam
paign in many cities of the state.
Although no quota was set for any
community. local committees fixed
their own quOtas--in human lives
and the Minnesota goal is $4,000
lives or more.
A message from Herbert Hoover
stated that slightly more than one
third Of the total fund was raised
when the last national check was
compiled. He added these words:
"The campaign will continue I'M
til we have obtained sufficient money
to care for three and one half mil
lions of children. Let no one think
for a moment that this list Of UNI
.fOrtunatcs includes semi-unfOrtun-
ates. We arc seeking to aid only the
terribly under-nOurishcd orphans.

have never learned to smile, whose
parents were swept away during the
scOurage of war or have died since

Pure Bred Cattle and Hog
Industry Is Again on
Sound Basis
PROSPECTS ARE GOOD
FOR CATTLE THIS YEAR
Auction Sales Have Been Very
Unsatisfactory in
Past Months

St. Paul, Jan. 6.-Minnesota's pure
bred cattle and hog industry has sur
vived one of the most trying periods
in history and the industry not only
is on a sound financial basis but its
development will vigorously be re-
sumed after depression passes, judg-
ing from an inspiring variety of re-
plies received during the past week
by The Merchant National Bank of
Saint Paul, from bankers in every
section of Minnesota.
The replies to the banks question
aire were featured by practically no
difference of opinion. Other subjects
discussed during the past few months
developed a broad range OF opinions
but bankers, cattlemen and farmers
were practically unanimous in de-
claring the 1921 prospects for pure
bred cattle and hogs are good.
Auction sales admittedly have been
very unsatisfactory this fall and WIN
ter. In some counties sales have been
abandoned entirely until financial re-
adjustments are made. Nearly all
auctions that have been held were
conducted on paper" basis.
Small banks were not able to loan
money to make cash purchases pos
sible, and as a rule the bids for cat
tie and hogs have been on a mote
or nothing basis.
Auction sales in a score or more
counties recorded prices averaging
from 40 to so per, cent below the
prices paid for similar stock year
ago.
The viewpoint of The Merchants
National Bank of Saint Paul, is as
follows: '+People generally are
anxious to secure an improved class
Of stock. Feed is cheaper than for
some time past and sells for cash to
less advantage proportionately than
earlier. This should mean anxiety
on the part of farmers to obtain the
best grade Of cattle and hogs to util-
ize this feed. Practically no pure
bred live stock auctions have been
held during the fall and early whit
or.
"Such sales as have been made,
either at public auction or private
treaty have been at. figures about for
ty percent of those held at the high
price tide for this class. 1t is ibe-
lieved that sales will improve ma
terially with the easing Of the present
credit system which is anticipated in
many rural sections to occur by
March or April. While pure bred
breeders who have been interviewed
stated that the fall and winter to
Ao<n hovn ,l>oop worry l1naa tiSfa at Ory
for their business, there is an under
tone of confidence that another seas
on will soc material Improvement.
They admit there was imitation a

Topic. Of Day

The hoard of directors of the farm
bureau met in the farm bureau office
on Tuesday afternoon with the follow

Porte, Adolph Gustafson, w. T. Blak-

J. F.. Hayes and H. A. Pflughoeft. The
meeting was called to order at 2
o'clock by A. r. Whiting, president
for the epsping year. He spoke brief
ly but alphabetically regarding the fu-
ture Of farm bureau work, not only in
counties but in. the state and nation
also. He pointed out that the farm
bureau is being recognized by the
country as the voice of organized
farmSrs and. is, sure to accomplish
many things for the welfare of agri-
culture in general. -
After reading the minutes the pre-
ceding meeting, the condition of the
recommendations provided by the
various groups at the annual meeting
was taken up and . program Of work
for the coming year was formulated.
In the absence Of CIV. Clark, rep

Arnold, director.atslar9e, made, the
following suggestions: He suggested
that three varieties be grown-rus-
sets, Green Mountains and Bliss IT,

ped from the recommended list be-
cause, while it is "a very good potato
and is bringing good prices whether

mixed with other and more valuable
varieties, especially the Green Noun.
tain. He suggests that at least ten
community seed demonstrations be
held in as many communities. He
pointed out that corrosive sublimate
should ID more extensively used hav-
ing proven it's superiority over for
maldehyde in treatment Of scab,
blackleg and rhyzoctonia.
Certification of potatoes was dis
cussed and suggestions made that the
inspection fee be raised to insure suf-
ficient funds to provide enough in.
spectors to enable them to spend
enough time on each field to give q
thorough inspection as well as valu-
able information to the farmers. Bet
ter and more thorough bin inspection
was recommended. Even though
seed, in order to be certified, must be
inspected and given special attention,
it does not mean that such seed is dis
ease-proof as soil and culture condl;
lions bring about diseases in one field
where another field may be practically
immune even though the same seed
from the same source is used. Five
