FILL UP THE BINS

'Fill up the storage bins depleted by two years
of drouh is the order emanating from the U. S.
Dept of Agriculture No matter what may be said OF the
curtailment of production in the past it is admitted
that if this country into season of drouth
and crop shortages conditions going to be extremely
serious.
Citizens of Red Lodge and vicinity may not be aware
that shortage of foodsuffs exists, but
they are due to find it out short time through ncreas
ed prices Meat products to rise You can't feed
hogs 75c and still sell them for what they brought
when was quarter bushe With pastures depleted
after two seasons Of drouth there also shortage of all
other kinds of livestock
From present indications food prices are due for a
sharp upturn the year advances for it will be many
months until another harvest be garnered That's
something think about here the Of another plant
ing time. Every dollar and every hour spent in raising
foodstuffs in the home garden will be and time we'll
invested this year So wise is the man who has patch OF
ground no matter how small who starts making his plans
now to produce it in the months to something that
can be used in sustaining human life.

ADVICE AGAINST
CANCER QUACk IS
GIVEN out HERE

A sharp warning against quacks
and get-well-quick crooks who
exploit popular fears and super
stitions about cancer was issued
today by Lieutenant Mrs. Ralph
Hazlett, Red Lodge, of the Wo-
mems Field Army of the American
Society for the Control of Cancer.
She laid special emphasis on a
"vicious campaign charging falsely
that the use of aluminium vessels
contributes to cancer" This story
has no basis in fact whatsoever,
the official of the Women's Field
Army said. The war on cancer is
now on in Carbon County.
"The American, Society for the
Control of Cancer the official
said, "has recently received letters
from misguided persons indicating
that a considerable amount of ut
tcrly false propaganda has been
spread alleging that the use of al
uminum vessels causes cancer. Sim

been attacked by irresponsible per-

The statement follows:
with the extension of the can

of biology, chemistry and physics,
as we'll as it's former terrain with
in the practice of the medical pro-
fession, new dangers have arisen.
"These dangers are the wide
and varied assortment of cures
and 'preventives' claimed by a
number of individuals in many
parts of the world. At no other
time have these cures been so
boldly and subtly exploited.
"The amount of scientific train
ing and of honest conviction in the
value of their work, possessed by
the persons making these claims
undoubtedly varies. There is, how
ever, a mechanism by which these
cures can be tetsted without de-
tracting from the credit of the dis
coverer. This is by asking cancer
research laboratories and leading
medical schools to evaluate the
