CANCER MENACE ON
INCREASE IN STATE.

Twenty-three hundred deaths from
cancer will be reported in Wisconsin
during 1921, according to an estimate
made by the state board of health.
This means" says a statement of
the board, that large number of
successful citizens will be removed
from our midst by a malady which is
primarily durable
Cancer of the stomach and liver
will be charged with approximately
one-half of the deaths recorded dur
ing this period" continues the state
ment of the boarG, Moreover, males
and females will be equally affected.
An additional one-N urth of the
deaths from cancer will occur among
women, the disease attacking the
breast and generative organs.
Stated in another way, while II
men and II women die each week in
Wisconsin of cancer of the stomach
and liver, IL additional women die of
cancer of the breast and generative
organs during the same short period"
In order to emphasize the enor-
nous toll exacted by cancer, the
statistician of the board has express
ed the mortality in terms of one week.
Thus, one Wisconsin citizen dies of
cancer of the mouth each week, one
of the skin, six of the intestines,
eleven of the female breast and gem
erative organs, twenty-five of the
stomach and liver. and three of other
organs, total of forty-four each
week.
Although this record is a startling
one" continues the statement, ct is
fairly representative of conditions
throughout the United States. How
ever, careful study shows that the
death rates from cancer in Wiscon-
sin have been increasing during the
past few years, therein exceeding
similar combined rates for the re-
mainder of the country.
"How may this truly alarming con-
dition be relieved?" Definite knowl-
edge of the early manifestations of
cancer, early diagr osis and early and
skilled treatment will certainly pre-
vent needless suffering and save
thousands of lives. An earnest eff
fort is now being made" says the
board in conclusion, "to present the
facts concerning the prevention and
cure of cancer in such way that
every citizen may possess accurate
knowledge. A pamphlet entitled
Cancer, Facts Every Adult Should
Know" containing authoritive infor-
nation, will be sent free upon request
of the State Board of Health, Madi-
SON"

u. S. MARSHAL ARRESTS
FAKE REVENUE OFFICERS.

Charles and Henry Lampke and
VIM. Moriva, Muscoda farmers who
had smooth game put over on them
last spring when they bought a "still"
and saw it "confisticated' a few days
later when another man came along,
located the outfit and "shook" the
Muscoda trio for $500 to square the
matter.
The farmers passed through vari-
Gus stages of human nature, glad and
frightened at first, then angry and ex-
pletive as the truth dawned. They
sought the federal officers with their
story.
Last week Deputy U. s. Marshal
He'll visited Boscobel and placed
under arrest on the charge of imper-
sonating an officer one Tom Clark,
whose brother, known as "Pooch" had
been apprehended the day previous at
Dallas, Texas. Both were arraigned
in U. S. court at Madison last week
and interesting developments may be
expected when the trial is staged.

WATERLOO SUGAR CASE
NON-SUITED BY COURT.

After hearing testimony from Gus
Seipp, secretary of the Burton equity,
in the case of Seipp VS. Chris Kart
man, the court Friday non-suited the
action brought by Seipp to recover
from Hartman on five sacks of sugar
bought in the spring of 1920. This
action by the court was taken because
Seipp's testimony indicated that his
duties, etc., were performed as an
official of the partnership formed by
the equity and that he could not legal
ly bring action as an individual.
Should another trial result it will
probably be necessary for all the
parties in the equity to appear in
the action. Seipp sued for payment
on 500 pounds Of sugar at $27.27 per
hundred plus interest and storage,
claiming that Hartman had ordered
the article. Hartman resisted claim
ing that he had ordered SIG sugar
which order was not filled, that he
had not ordered $27 sugar and that
he was no longer a member of the
equity when the $27 sugar was order
ed and could not be bound by any
action of the society.

BRILLIANT WEDDING OF
MISS JESSIE M. GLIDER

One of the most charming autumn
weddings was solemnized at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. George w. Glider last
Wednesday when their daughter, Miss
Jessie, became the bride of Rollo r.
Day, one of Lancaster's prominent
business men.
The service was read by Rev. Louis
Arhelger of the First Congregational
church at o'clock in the presence
of the family, relatives and close
friends of the young people.
The bridal party stood in a semi
circle banked on each side with pink
carnations and ferns which extended
across the entire end of the music
room. Carnations, ferns and ported
plants were seen in graceful pro-
fusion throughout the home
Mrs Ora Sitter, cousin of the
bride, accompanied by Earl Ivey on
the piano, sang "At Dawning" Then
as Mr.. Ivey played Wagner's bridal
chorus from Lohengrin the bridal
party descended the stairway.
A Colour de rose effect prevailed in
the handsome toilettes of the brides
attendants. The bridesmaid, Ethel
Glider, was beautifully gowned in
peach rose Paulette chiffon over pomp-
bouquet of pink rose buds tied with
peach and jade green tulle. Little
Maxine MaienthGi wearing a frock of
white lingerie preceded the bride,
bearing an artistic basket of pink
sweet peas which she scattered in her
pathway.
The bride was lovely beyond des-
cription as she entered in her bridal
costume which was marked by elegant
simplicity. The gown was of ivory
satin and chiffon embroidered in silver
and pearls with long court train made
in Louis XIV style and trimmed with
pearls and tulle. Her veil was of tulle
arranged in CAP effect and held in
place with orange blossoms. An
exquisite shower bouquet Of brides
roses and lilies of-the-valley COM
bined with steamers of tulle and
ribbon and white slippers completed
the charming costume.
A string of beautiful pearls, the
gift of the groom, was the only jewel
adornment.
The bride and attendants met the
bridegroom and his best man, Guer-
don Burris, and the officiating clergy
man. The solemn marriage service
was said accompanied by the soft
strains of "I Love You Truly"
After the ceremony a reception was
held and a dinner elegantly served
The mattresses were Mary Bailie,
Elva Dyer, Mae BROKER and Berna-
dine KnobeI
Many beautiful gifts in silver, cut
glass, hand-painted china and linens
were received.
The couple left for motor trip the
destination of which they did not re-
veal. They will be at home to their
many friends after January 1st in
their new home which is being erect
ed on Oak street $50

One Mode Admits of ArmcoVering Be-
ing Made From Two Kinds of
Materials.

While the merry war is waged for
or full ones, sleeves are being left to
their own devices, and startling US with
the originality of their design and dis
tinctly unconventional paths they fol-
low. From the ignOminy of being COM
pletely annihilated, they have recOv-
today and have assumed sufficient i'm
portance to make US regard our pres
ent wardrobe with concern, not to say
alarm, writes a fashion authority.
Among the many intricate details
that are the proud boast of today may
be mentioned strappings and buttons,
buttons enough TO satisfy even a cost
ermOnger, and straps enough to bring
vague memories of the sleeves of King
James, King Charles, and Charlie
magne, and all the rest of them in
Guiding Jack of Spades, and his majes-
ty the king. There are sleeves bor-
rowed from toreador coats, and sleeves
that recall picturesque hussar uni
forms, to say nothing of those of the
angel variety, which nowadays one re-
fers to as nuns sleeves. Another feat
ure which has considerable merit is
that sleeves may be made from two
kinds of materials; the woman who is
struggling with the make-over problem
will be overjoyed to hear this and to
know that she may add four inches or
so of straight band down her arm, or
make the upper part of her sleeve one
color, and the lower part another.

SMART FOR WINTER WEAR
New Fashions Have Been Ab-
Sorbed for the Season.
.xaggerations Are Subdued and SIM
pIified, Melting Into Pleasing
and Artistic Types.

All the new influences toward win
ter fashions have now been absorbed
and become parts of the composite
1921 style. Paris, writes fashion au-
thOrity, is making and wearing its
mid-season clothes. It is surprising to
see how subdued and simplified all
of the exaggeraticns have become.
They have melted into the general
outline in a way so artistic that they
leave one wondering just where they
started or whether they have not al
ways belonged in the composition.
A Lanvin suit shows the develop
ment of the suit and the direction in
which its cut is tending. After the
manner of the straight-lined gowns,
the coat has that fullness at the hips
which gives it a silhouette that is just
a bit wider than those which we have
been accustomed to see. And the
waistline is only a trifie lower than a
normal one. Even about the skirt
there is not length enough to make
it so decidedly different that it need
require an effort to accept it after
what we have been having.
Some fashion experts think that the
suit will be one of the popular spring
notes. 1t has been so completely dis
regarded this winter as anything re-
sembling dress wear that we will be
in condition to welcome it back,
should the ways of fashion turn in
that direction. This new suit prom
iSes to be of tweed, but of the finer,

ENGINE OF PUBLIC SERVICE
Newspaper Today Not, as of Old, the
Mouthpiece of Any Individual
or Party.

Not so many years ago a newspa-
per was a printing press surrounded
by a group Of individuals chiefly con-
cerned in getting their own private
theories or doctrines before their
readers.
Today the newspaper is an engine
of public service. Its success tinan-
cialIy and morally is measured by
the degree in which it supports not
party but the people.
Those today who have a Twentieth
century ideal of achievement separate
the newspaper from the individual and
make it first and foremost an organ
of public service built by the people
for the people. The journal which
most nearly fulfills its highest pur-
pose is that which is indistinguish-
able in policy from the natural trend
of progress and march of liberty and
free thought.
Political prizes were the aims of
the old-time editor. His policies were
based on his own party interests and
he discussed every public question
with ferocity and partisanship pro-
portionate to the reward he expected
to get out Of it.
The establishment of an institution,
living thing, which represents the
public interest and nothing else-that
should be the ideal of the editor.
1t is this ideal which has made
newspapermen a priesthood and has
separated them-sOme of them-from
politics. For this age is not a ma
terialistic aSe-in spite of opinion to
the contrary.-VancOuver Sun.
