BOUT THE WOMEN JURORS

The first Circuit Court Jury in Yer
non county containing women has come
and gone without revolutionizing court
customs or procedure. In fact the
ladies took to the work in such a COM
mon sense, matter of fact way, that
one might think they had always serv-
ed on jurys.
The following ladies served: Ma
tilda o. Ellison, Westby; Christine Fin
stad, Hamburg; T lorenzo Husker. Web
ster; Ella Neprud, Viroqua; Mrs. NJ. T.
Osborne, DeSoto; Mrs. George Roberts
Stark; Augusta Rachelt, Hamburg:
Anna Yttri, Sterling. Mrs. HI. Chard.
Hillsboro and Ella Schallock, Clinton,
were excused. Mrs. Emma Fl. WV
man of Viroqua and Mrs Della Gibbs
OF K1ckapoo we're absent.
Under the law the women serve IN
der the same terms as the men except
that a woman may be excused from
service upon their request without Civ
ing any reason. The two women ex-
cused, however, had good and suffici-
ent reasons to ask to be excused.
The first jury called Monday morn
ing contained six men and six women.
This was case of assault and battery
and the jury agreed upon the amount
OF damages due the plaintiff in less
than one hour. As a whole the first
trial Of women on juries In this coun-
~ has been very satisfactory.

CO. EDUCATIONAL NOTES

Rural school examinations were held
at eight different places in the coun-
ty last Saturday, for candidates for
eighth grade diplomas. At one place,
Readstown, the examination viii be
held next Saturday, April %, as the
first set of questions, which were sent
out failed to reach Readstown IN time,
on account of poor mail service owing
to bad roads and irregular train SER
vice.
The regular spring examinations for
teachers was held at two places, Hills
boro and Viroqua on Saturday, April
22nd. But FIVE persons made appli-
cation to take teachers examination,
whereas a decade ago from 100 to 200
applicants wrote at each examination.
The county normaland summer schools
and recent certifieation laws have cut
down the number who set or can get
certificates by writing.
About 300 common school pupils
took examination for diplomas. In
spite of the fact that teachers were
advised to send only those to the ex-
animation, who We're prepared to take
the work, we find that many pupils
wrote who were not fitted or ready
to do so. The examination is q test
of the teachers as well as of the pu-
pill. The work of the pupils of some
teachers is neat, careful, thoughtful,
and shows that the pupils have been
trained by strong teacher. The
work of the pupils of other teachers
is careless, poor spelling and writing,
has thoughtless statements, and shows
that the pupils have lacked the leader
ship and training of a strong teacher.
1t is very important that school boards
in engaging teachers find out whether
the teacher they are about to engage
is able to produce results by training
the children IN fbfpE o,,1 - f.s,..y.,sotl L.

THE COUNTY NURSE DEPT.
PALMA H. GRAHN, o0unty Narse

The following notes on Cancer is
taken from the United States Public
Health Service Bulletin:
Cancer,if discovered early and treat
ed Immediately, is q durable disease.
If certain definite conditions which are
now known t0precede cancer are avoid
ed or cured the disease may be pre-
vented.
Two things are required if the I'M
necessary sacrifice of life to this enc
my fthe human race is TO be pre-
vented. First, people must know the
danger signals and recognize their sig
nificance in time; secondly, there must
be widespread understanding of the
hopeful message of modern medical
science that many cases of cancer in
the early stages are durable.
Cancer is almost exclusively a dis
ease of adult life. Cancer occurs in a
variety of forms affecting practically
every organ or part of the body. Wo-
men are more subject to the disease
than men. The civilized, and particu-
larry the white races, are more liable
to cancer in general than native races
like the North American Indian or the
0rientals
<aS -aA 90 10 hitoWits IL iiOl
contagious. No germ capable of caus-
ing cancer in human beings or animals
has ever been demonstrated Nor is
there any reason to believe the stories
so often told of cancer houses" or
"cancr villages" The occurrence of
a large number of cases in particu-
lar house or street has usually been
shown by careful investigation to be
due to the fact that the house or street
has been occupied by an unusual pro
portion of persons above middle age.
Is cancer inherited? Practically
speaking, it is not Nothing could be
more convincing than the way life in
surance companies look at this mat
ter from business point of view; and
these companies when deciding wheth-
er person is good risk, disregard
evidence that cancer occurred in one
or both parents.
Cancer is not blood disease, and
should never be thought of as similar
to veneral diseases, or as related to
any kind of moral discredit in the nj
dividual or family.
How cancer developes, next week.

We EDITOR VISITS

The Censor editor and wife and Mr.
and Mrs. N. III. Nelson drove to north
of Westby and spent Sunday after
noon and evening at the beautiful
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore Saug-
stad. Mrs. Nelson and Mrs. Saugstad
are sisters. 1t is a privilege and pleas
use to spend a few hours at such a
modern farm and visit with such pro-
gressive farmers as Mr.. Saugstad and
his sons are. Upon arriving we found
that Mr.. and Mrs. Saugstad were abb
sent, performing kindly neighborly
duty-spending the afternoon with
Mrs. Ole Hovde, who had returned a
few days previous from a siege at a
hospital at Lacrosse and is still quite
poorly. But Ed Saugstad and his es-
Unable young wife were on the job
administering to their fine herd of
pure bred Jerseys with that loving at
tention which everything around the
place receives. The Saugstads believe
in standard bred stock, as their fine
Jerseys, Durocs ,Percherons and White
Wyandottes would reveal to even a
casual observer Their barn is equip
ped with all modern conveniences, and
a sturdy Sampson tractor shoulders
all of that back-breaking toll that used
to make the farm so unpopular The
Censor editor asked Ed if their was
anything around the place not. stand
ard bred, and ne answered, "Only the
cats" M. H. Bekkedal has just pur-
chased from them what they consider
to be the finest individual animal they
have ever produced-a six-months' old
male calf with real pedigree behind
him. Ed was instrumental in starting
the first testing association in that
neighborhood. Their herd has been
carefully recorded as to production
and test for ten years, and the herd
average has increased in that period
from As to nearly 5.3.
We found E.Saugstad down from
the Saugstad farm in Polk county on
visit, and he win return in few
days, taking his sister, Belva, with
him to spend some time. Jesse, the
talented musical son of the family,
has entirely left the musical profess
sion due to i'll health and for the past
three years has been in New York
holding responsible position with
the Oriental Navigation Co.

UNCLE SANS FUMIGATING

NAlS
GO RAPIDLY does the world move
u nowadays, so numerous and va
'Eied are the wonders which are
wrought by the ingenuity Of our ex-
'perts In various lines and so quietly
Is the work carried on, it frequently
happens that the general public knows
but little Of the marvels that are
among US.
For instance, down on the Texas
border-at Laredo, to be exact-the
United States Department of Agricul-
,ture operates a fumigating plant or
vat which is sufficiently large to &C.
rGOmmodate a train of fifteen freight
ears at one time.
Freight cars arriving In the States
from Old Mexico are infected with
live, pink bollwOrm-a pest which
feeds and devours the unripened pods
of the cotton plant. If permitted 70
enter and scatter in this country, 1t
would, provided It gained much head
way, create losses running into the
millions of dollars annually.
To prevent this loss and preserve
the crop, therefore, such cars are I'M
tremendously shunted into these watts
and the unwelcome bOllwOrms aboard
accorded a Knockout reception.
This plant resembles a long, brick
shed. After the cars are received.
the doors are closed and the plant
Is flooded with a gas, generated on
che spot, the fumes Of which are sure
death to boIlworms. At the end Of
an hour or more, the gas is drawn OF,
she cars removed and sent on their
Way and the plant is ready for the
1sxt incoming train.
