THE MEMORY OF DAD
JOHANN HENNING

Though full year has passed away,
Since our family's very sad day;
The memory of Dad will linger on,
Even though from us he has gone.
The memory of his smile, his voice and
his walk,
And the way that he had Of endless
talk;
Will always be with me and the rest
of our tree,
For in our hearts he will forever be.
Still as sit on the porch at night,
1t seems to me that l have the sight !;
OF Mother and Dad enjoying each other
For to him, there was no one like
Mother.
Day by day memories of Dad come to
our mind,
And we know another we will never
find; =,
To take his place in our home and life,
Especially to his one and only wife.
AS long as time passes by and by,
Our memory of Dad will never die;
He will stay in our hearts as a lovable
Dad,
The one and only we have ever had.
Eileen NJ. Henning, daughter.
Mrs. John Henning and children.

Agriculture Department analv.
ses give picture of what seems
tC be happening. Farm income is
rising faster than the income of
the whole country. In general farm
products sell way above parity
AS industrial prices go up parity
must go up with them. AS the food
bill rises the middleman takes a
larger share which improves his
situation even though his costs are
rising. The circle of difficulties
spins. Yet somehow we must work
out a better way.

value of such type of trade fairs

Under the new plan Gift and

CANCER REPORT ........ .... .... -;
Our late president Roosevelt said
that the only thing we have to
fear is fear ITSELF; so we OF the
American Cancer Society are try
ing to eliminate fear, at least IN
small measure, by educating or in
forming our public of its cause, treat
ment and cure (of cancer).
Fear. will keep one from having
early medical diagnosis, which IS
very important, as in its early
stages it is durable. Many patients
having operations 25 years ago, re-
port a no re-occurence.
DR.. Chips of Seattle, professor
of pathology, at the University OF
Washington, traced the start Of the
cancer research back to 1900 3. c.
the time of the immortal Hippo
crates, and followed the research
to the time of the great Alexandrian
school, 40 B. c., paying high tribute
to the work of Galen, who, he said.
dominated medicine for the first 10
centuries; the turning point probably
came about 1929 with the discovery
of the first crude microscope, Dr.
Chips said. -
It was not until 1929, however
that research in the manner we now
understand, was begun. Research
especially with mice, has shown
that there is a hereditary predilic=

stormed the defense lawyer, 'you
have admitted you were seated on

track. Will you please explain to
this jury how you can swear the
line was double-tracked?"
''Wel," meekly answered the wit

and through the coach windows. I
saw a train whiz by occasionally,
and took it that there was either a
track under it or else this railroad
had some mighty good railroaders."
