i ne seward Giants, the undefeated baseball champions Of Seward, have decided to compete for prize with a beautiful float. Due to a shortage or funds in buing necessary equip ment, it was decided at meeting of the team last night to enter for lrize for the purpose of meeting this emergency.

 Further, at this time the team de sircs to thank the Seward Volunteer Fire Department for their aid in help i1g to fix up the diamond and as- sisting the team financially.

Operation Cures Cancer
If Discovered in Time
Minnesota State Medical Associa-
ton Doing Much Research
Work on Treatment

St. Paul, Oct. 31.-The cancer
menace is being checked by the
forces of education. Spreading
knowledge of the symptoms of the
disease in the press, from the plat
form, and by scientific organiza-
tions is reducing the toll. These
are statements from the bulletin
of the Committee on Public Health
Education of the Minnesota State
Medical Association issued today.
Cancer exists IN animals" says
the bulletin, Sin fact, it is very
common in many domestic and
wild varieties. The tabulation of
facts as to the way cancer pro-
crosses, the way it can be grown
in culture, the per cent of cancers
appearing to belong IN one class
or another, the length of time
different types take from their
first appearance until the death of
the individual affected, data of this
type is being accumulated with in
creasing accuracy and magnitude.
1t is giving us an easily available
fund of information; putting at
our disposal the combined eXper-
fence of thousands of doctors. 1t
is making us familiar with its char
acteristics both common and un-
usual. But as yet the questions,
what makes cells become cancer
cells and what keeps them grow
ing so, once they are started, are
unanswered. Some theories seem
more plausible than others, but
that's the best one can say for
them.
"There are two conclusions that
stand out pretty closely, however.
One is that there are many varie'
ties of cancer-some rather slow
growing, others very rapid; some
spreading to new parts of the body
easily and quickly, others spread
ing with apparent difficulty. The
other, that the earlier the disease
is recognized and the earlier an
operation is performed, the great
er are the number of people cured.
Our information is already suffic-
lent to warrant the assumption
that if cases were recognized early
enough, practically all cancer
could be cured by operation. 1t
is only the advanced cancer, or
the most malignant types, or those
arising in such parts of the body
that they cannot be removed with
out loss of life, that are incurable
even at the present state of our
knowledge.
'This is why such an effort is
being made to disseminate the facts
already known. In no field has
this been done better than in con-
