Resolutions for Our Fanners.
0
1. I shall start trying to have rich
land?-realizing that fertile soil is
the basis of all agricultural wealth, ,
I I resolve that my lands shall be
stopped from washing away, that I ,
shall grow winter and summrt* le- (
gumes to add to my soil fertility and .
to avoid heavy fertilizer bills, and .
that I shall carefully save every ,
pound of barnyard manure.
2. I shall try to live at home.? ,
Knowing that the individual or the .
community that depends on buying
bread and meat and feed from sec- ,
tions that cannot grow these pro- (
aucts as cneapiy as we can, win never
mean more than soil poverty and
j human poverty, 1 mean henceforth
to make my farm a self-sustaining
^ farm, with a good living for my family
and myself as its primary business.
3. I shall be a cooperative farmer.'?
Buying and selling constitute
an important element in making the
farm profitable, and that these may
be done most effectively and economically.
I pledge myself to make an
effort to cooperate with my neighbors
in buying and selling in quantities
so that merchants vmay give us
better rates, and in grading and
marketing farm product^ so as to
get better prices, but also in buying
and using improved machinery and!
, in getting better sires for improving
our livestock.
4. I shall work for school and
neighborhood progress.?Understand- j
ing that there can be no power with-;
out knowledge, no material or moral j
progress without adequate training,
I mean to do my part toward having
a local school as neighborhood centre
for community development and
enlightenment. To do this I realize
the necessity for suitable buildings
and grounds, for good teachers, and
for such consolidation and rearrange*
ment of districts as is necessary to
furnish adequate support not onlyit
for a strong school, but for all the j L
agencies a richer community life, j ^
For the attainment or these I pledge
my untiring efforts.
5. I shall aim at a joyous exist-; c
ence for the whole family.?Our i b
farm must be a home, rather than a's
\ mere place to live, and in order that 0
mother's work may be lightened and b
made more joyous, in order that ourj 1
boys and girls may learn to know e
and cleave to the wholesomeness of j n
life in the country. I resolve to equip j b
our home with all the labor-saving j 1:
improvements possible, to see that: 0
there is an abundance of healthful *
reading matter, and to encourage v
neighborhood games, athletic con- v
tests and social intercourse!" n
6. I shall keep at it.?And final- a
ly. knowing that success in these 1b
things can only come after persist-,s
ent and untiring effort. 1 hereby en-I 11
list for life as a worker in making c
m^' farm and my community as good 1
as the best?places that shall be r
sweet to live in and good to know.? 1

Kstimateri Twenty .More Dead Lie \
Beneath Debris.
Hinton. \V. Ya.. March 7.? The
recovery of 11 bodies today brought -I
the death toll of tlie Lavland mines n
to ! :. it is estimated 20 more dead h
are buried beneath slate falls and t
debris. 1<
All of the 4 7 men rescued vester- ii
day after having lived four days and n
four nights without food and drink j;
were reported to be in good physical p
condition and all are expected to re- t
cover. t
Joy and sadness intermingled to- E
day in the miners' homes on the side c
of Quinriimont mountain. Here a 7
husband, a brother or son had re- h
turned after all hope had been given
up. Nearby a wife, sister or mother o
mourned. h
A coroner's jury was empanelled a
at Thurmond late today and several ii
bodies were viewed, but a full in- t
quisition into the disaster will not n
begin until all bodies have been re- o
covered. s

Cancer Not a Blood Disease v
e
Cancer causes thousands of pre- u
ventable deaths because people do tl
not seek surgical treatment in time, J
even after they know they have the
disease. Surgeons with practices so
extensive that their reports furnish
a reliable guide have shown that cancer
patients even after discovering
some suspicious symptoms 'wait on
the average a whole year before they
seek treatment. To control the disease
with our present knowlege the >
first thing to do is to eliminate this
fatal delay. To do this is necessary
to understand why patients are so
loath to seek examination. A misapprehension
which constitutes one
reason for reluctance to consult a
physician in time, is the notion which
still prevails that cancer is a constitutional
disease caused by some poison
in the blood. Those who hold
this mistaken opinion commonly believe
that the disease is hereditary
and in a vague way they "think there
must be some taint handed down
from one generation to another
which causes cancer to flourish in
;eertain families. Such misapprehension
combined with the notion
which has long prevailed that cancer
;s incurable and that it is of no use
:o try to have anything done for it,
iccouiits for the extraordinary delay
>f the sufferer in seeking relief in
some cases. A* further probablef
;ause is the fact that cancer in the
sarly stages Is relatively painless.
\lan.va surgeon has wished that can:er
in its early manifestations might
rause the sufferer half as much trou)le
as the toothache, in which case
he patient would surely be driven to
eek relief in time. Cancer is at first
l local growth and not a general dis- re
tase of the system. This fact is te
if the utmost importance, since it w
tolds out the high hope of cure if at
he malignant growth is removed beore
it has time to spread te other ed
arts of the body. Cancer appears ye
n other places because small parti- hi
les or cells are carried away from to
he first site and start new growths be
lsewhere. The great hope of cure pr
herefore lies in removing cancer en- th
irely from^the system oetore it nas rw.
. chance to spread from its first footold.
Sc
The reason why so many people w<
ame to believe that cancer was a ?r
lood disease is because it was ob- re
erved to come again in the same or ^
ther parts of the body after having
een appearently cut out. It was na- ^
ural to assume that when the disase
kept coming back in this man- re
,er there must be some taint in the
lood. The trouble was that in earier
times cancer was not really cut m
ut. Surgeons then did the best se
hey knew how. but without the ad- su
antage of modern methods they
rere unable successfully to extermi- ^
iate the disease even in its incipient
nd local stage. This was principally A]
ecausethey did not operate extenively
enough. The microscope has Aj
tow shown us the paths by which A]
ancer cells start their invasion of
he body and modern surgeons are jn
epeatedly successful in removing
he disease once for all. Cancer is gt
lot a blood disease, and there is no Aj
onclusive evidence that it is herediary.
Many efforts have been made F(
o show that the disease is transmited
from one generation to another
ir that at least a certain susceptibilty
to cancer is thus passed on. The
>vidence on this point, however, renains
insufficient. On the other
land, there is much statistical and
ixperimental evidence to show that
leredity plays a very small part, if sp
my, in the development of cancer.? tli

'he shooting caused a sensation and
as been much discussed today. ffyN}
Several different stories are told *
f the shooting, but there seems to
ave been few eyewitnesses. It is gfyt
llesed that there has been ill feel
ng between the two men for some
ime and this came to a climax last fy
ight when Trippett called Jones out
f the side door of a pool room and ww%
hot him. Trippett at once gave
imself up to an officer and Jones
as placed in an automobile and tak

he guarantee of his return in case
ones' wounds resulted in his death.
