Governor Gates has ordered revocation of paroles for all parolees who have been arrested since released, as a step in trying to combat the crime wave in Indianapolis. Yes, what Indianapolis needs, is a “great chief of police." o b— The packers explain there is only one reason for the high price of meat, and that is more persons have the money to buy all the meat they want, so they bid up the price. This year there is being produced 20 pounds more of meat per person than in prewar days. Even if predictions come true that next year's supply will be ten pounds less, the average will be ten pounds ahead of 1941. ——o o Heads of the great Krupp Works in Germany have been indicted and will have to stand trial on charges that they used slave labor in their plants and helped Hitler. At first, the industrialists were shoved aside, but it seems that sentiment in Germany favored their indictment. The courts will decide their guilt. In the meantime the huge munitions plant is being converted to peace-time products, although most of the machinery has been scrapped or hauled away. o o A district rat war has been declared by the county agents and citizens are asked to take up arms against pesky rodents. Most people shudder when rats are mentioned, so for that reason the rat ■war should be a popular conflict, supported by all. Rats destroy much property, eat valuable grain and carry disease. Let's get rid of them and support the county I agents in clearing the 12 county area, including Adams county, of the dirty rat.

If Skin Cancer Is Suspected See a Doctor

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. IN many cases, failure to seek treatment for cancer until it is too late can be charged to the very nature of the disease. Some cancers are so hidden and so silent that the patient himself does not realize his need for help. Skin cancers, however, are a different story. Any growth on the skin is, of course, promptly noticed, and yet, people are so careless that skin growths are often allowed to go on increasing in size for months before a physician is consulted. The penalty for such neglect may be two-fold. In the first place, some skin cancers have away of setting up new colonies of cancer cells in other parts of the body where they may prove fatal. In the second place, skin cancers, once discovered, must be removed completely, regardless of how large a scar may be left.. Hence, the earlier skin cancer is detected and removed, the smaller the resulting scar will be. Many skin cancers can be eradicated quite simply by means of an electric needle. Following treatment with the electric needle, the dead tissue is removed by scraping, and X-ray tratments are employed. As a general rule, about three such X-ray treatments are required. One type of skin cancer is known as basal cell epithelioma. The edges I of the growth are waxy or grey in , appearance, and such tumors grow slowly. One type, however, called the rodeat Ulcer, is particularly de-I especially when present

There is little wonder that prices are high when one views the figure of national income. Experts estiKate income is now at the rate of I 12 billions a year and spending is following in proportion. For comparison, when hogs sold for six cents a pouiid in the old Hoover days, the national incotne had slipped below 40 billions. Conditions may not be on an even keel, but one thing is sure, most Americans are earning more than they ever did in their lives, and buying more. o o The federal budget for the current fiscal year totals about 37 billion dollars. National defense takes the largest hunk, a breakdown reveals. Out of every dollar appropriated, come the following expenses: National defense, 30 cents; Debt interest, tax refunds and pensions, 28 cents; Loans and subsidies voted by congress, 14 cents; International program, Bla cents; Grants to states, 4 cents; Government expenses, 15% cents. The budget will probably be reduced some day, but only after world conditions settle down and the national debt is sliced down. The loss of population in Eng-| i I land resulting from emigration to the dominions is likely to be balanced in the near future by the ad- 1 mission and absorption of displaced persons from Continental j Europe. The British government, in co-operation with the Interna- ' tional Refugee Organization, is . handling the immigration. Os the J1 30,000 who have so far been admitted, only five have been reject- j ed for misbehavior, and the opposition of the trades unions is dying down. Mining, textiles, engineering and agriculture are the fields i being entered by the refugees. Over 10’0,000 recruits for British industry are expected to be absorbed by the end of the year. o o President Truman's price control plan has not met with popular response among congressional leaders, and it’s doubtful if congress A 1 attempts to set-up an agency for this purpose. A logical opinion is , expressed by the Journal-Gazette, in commenting on the proposal: “If prices are controlled on some scarce articles, what guarantee do we have that those who produce them will not turn their efforts to the production of other articles on which there is no price ceiling, and thus make the scarce articles more scarce still? Will not ration-, ing and price controls on scarce articles quickly bring about restoration of the black markets.” Our thought in the matter is, who will enforce the price ceilings?

. on the eyelid or nose. When a skin growth is present, a small bit of the tissues may be removed and examined under the microscope to determine definitely just what type Os growth is present. It has been noted that treatment with arsenic-containing drugs may result in a number of basal cell epitheliomas. These may appear on the trunk, arms, or thighs. Another type of skin cancer is called squamous cell carcinomas. These occur most often on the arms or legs in old X-ray burns or scars. These tumors grow rapidly, and the growth often becomes inflamed. Still a third type is known as melanocarcinomas. These tumors are extremely dangerous. The growth first appears as a pinhead to a pea-size bluish or brownish pimple. It may be present on the ' sole of the foot, toe, buttocks, forearm, or under the finger nail. The tumors grow gradually and, , within six months, may be the size ;of a hazelnut. Such tumor may I arise from an irritated mole. Any mole which is subject to irritation or begins to grow should be removed by the electric needle. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS R. T.: My sister has a sort of j burning feeling on her tongue. She j is very nervous. Can nervousness; cause this? Answer: Burning of the tongue is usually due to infection.

' SYNOPSIS s Worlds separate young Alison Van t Dyke and Teresa, her glamorous halt- ( sister. The latter, ambitious and dom- r ineering, was one of Washington's most ; successful interior decorators, while , Alison and Kitty, their mother, lived j ' quietly in Vermont. Alison was 16 at the time she came to Washington tor Teresa’s wedding and something happened to her heart when she met her sister’s fiance, attractive Sam Tarrant, 1 quiet, idealistic newspaperman. The wedding reception was held at ; the home of Teresa’s wealthy friend, kindly Edna Castine. It was a gala affair. ————. t CHAPTER FOUR ALISON caught snatches of conversation as she wended her way among the guests. “I never wear black any more. I don’t know why it is, but I just can’t wear black any more.” “We’re not prepared.” “It’s self-preservation.” “Isn’t Teresa ravishing? They’re such a jiandsome couple.” “Does anyone know where the fleet is?” “And I said that it would be foolish for them to try because they could never make a go of it again. They’d murder each other in three weeks.” “Can you imagine air raid sirens in the capital of the United States? you imagine our cities blacked out and our citizens on rations? I can imagine it! It’s too ludicrous. Like a fairy tale. I was too young to remember the last war, of course, but I can’t imagine what it would be like to live in a.country at war. I don’t see how you could concentrate on anything.” “The Japanese .. Laughter. She wandered out to the terrace. Seeing a man with his back turned to her, she turned to go inside again when the man called “Please don’t go In.” It was the young man on whose arm she had walked down the church aisle. “I don’t believe we’ve met I’m Philip Spencer." “And I’m Teresa’s sister." Why did she say that? Why couldn’t • she have said, "I’m Alison Van Dyke?" Had she no identity of her own? i “I know you are.” The light from indoors fell on him and he had what could be described, Alison thought, only as a nice face, an honest face. He was I of medium height and was thin . and he wq?s glaiszs. Nondescript J dark eyes, dark hair, a friendly

* COUNTY AGENT’S * COLUMN I ♦ * Urges Early Testing County agent L. E.*Archbold urges all farmers in Adams county who will have seed to sell or sow next spring to get the seed tested during the fall or early winter. He offers to help farmers in this testing program by supplying instructions for drawing samples and special seed envelopes for sending them to the state seed laboratory at Purdue for a free test as well as by furnishing information on other seed matters. Seed that is advertised for sale by farmers is required to be tested and tagged and all seeds must be free of primary noxious weed seed and must not contain excessive amounts of other weed seeds to be legally sold. Since the test is free, all farmers should take advantage of this service, Archbald said. The tendency of farmers to postpone sending samples to Purdue until just before planting time usually results in a congestion of samples in the laboratory in February and March. Anticipating seed testing requirements and sending samples early is recommended. Care should be exercised in seeing that the sample is representative of the lot and is large enough for test. A teacupful of clover and grass seed and at least a pint of soybean or cereal seed should be submitted. — CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank neighbors, friends and relatives who kindly remembered us during the illness and death of our father, for their floral offerings, words of comfort ; and sympathy. We also wish to thank Rev. McCurdy and for special numbers in song. All this was Appreciated more than words can express. Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Strickler Mr. and Mrs. M. F.

smile. A young man about whom 1 there was an aura of tradition and I dignity and becoming simplicity. 1 This was all his, this house, these 1 beautiful grounds, and yet at once < she felt she had known him and 1 liked him for a long time. Loneli- . ness rode away. She had come I upon a friend. i He said, "It’s rather chilly out here. Shall I get you a wrap? But ■ Teresa and Sam will be leaving in a few minutes. You don’t want to miss that, do you? After they go, 1 it will be just a party. I hope you’ll ; dance with me.” He shook his head and smiled. "I’m terribly sorry. I 1 know you’re Teresa’s sister, but I don’t know your name.” "It’s Alison Vaji Dyke.” "But Teresa’s name was Hill.” "My mother’s first husband was named Hill." “Oh, I see. She should have told us more about her family. . . . I’m afraid you’re cold.” “It isn’t nearly as cold as Vermont" Edna came out on the terrace. In the church Alison had scarcely seen her, but now she saw that the friend who had been so kind to her sister was so tall that she towered above her brother and her. She would tower above Nicola, too. A stately, middle-aged woman with calm eyes and a sweet mouth, she gave Alison precisely the same feeling that Philip had given her—that nice, cozy feeling of friendliness. She wore a beige frock with lace at the sleeves. But how could she have noticed Edna in neutral beige when Teresa wore electric blue? Edna put her arm around her as naturally as Kitty did. "I’ve been looking all over for you. dear, I’m Edna, In case you don’t know, and I’ve been trying ever since you came to have a word with you. I see you’ve met Philip. He’s my brother. Or has he told you ?• I know this is all very confusing to you, all these strange people thrust at you and the excitement of a wedding.” "She’s going to dance with me,” Philip said. “Good. Give her one more year and you’ll beg for a dance. Just about one more year.” She smiled ■ gently down at Alison. "What I wouldn’t give to have a daughter like you. Sam and Teresa are about i to leave. Don’t yeu want to see them?” "Yes, I do.” But she wasn’t sure, i It was so pleasant out here with 1 Philip. “And you aihd you£ Rotifer are ’ spending the night here with us»”

Here Thursday * ' , x < i < A special missionary service will be held at the Decatur Church of the Nazarene Thursday evening. The speaker will be Miss H. Irene Jester, missionary on furlough from South Africa. Miss Jester is principal of the Bible school and pastor of the local church at the Schmelzenbach Memorial Station, Peigg’s Peak. Swaziland, South Africa. She has spent a number of years in the mission field and is well acquainted with the conditions there. The public is invited to hear this worker and speaker on Missions. The church is located at N. Seventh and Marshall streets. Rev. Ralph A. Carter is the pastor. The service will begin at 7:30 o’clock. B • I / JI U t/ mH TESTIFYING before the House Foreign Affairs Committee in Washington, Rep. John Davis Lodge (R* Cohn.) predicts the possibility of a Communist “internal coup” in Italy early next spring. Declaring the blow would fall just before the general elections, Lodge said it would be synchronized with • genera 1 strike in France. (International

Edna said. “You should have come in the first place. No reason at all for you to go to a hotel. I’d be annoyed with Teresa about that if I didn’t know she’a been »0 busy lately.” When she turned to go in Alison turned to go with her. Over her shoulder Edna asked, “You're not coming, Philip?” He didn’t answer at once. Then he said, “No. . . . I’ll miss that.” Alison felt a chill. He didn’t want to see Teresa go away with Sam on a honeymoon. Philip was in love with Teresa. Was that it? There was so much she didn’t understand and tomorrow she would go back to Vermont and never understand it Teresa and Sam wCre at the front door and the crowd had pressed upon them, throwing rice and confetti. Seeing • Edna. Teresa stood on tiptoe and called in her rich voice, “Goodby, darling. Thank you and goodby . . Sam didn’t * have to stand on tiptoe to see Alison. His eyes seemed to pick her out, but the smile he tried t 6 manage didn’t quite come off. For the first time as he stood there in the moving, excitable crowd she noticed that his black hair grew back from a peak in the middle of his forehead. All at once she found she wan standing alone In the great haJ> where the candles were flickering in the draft. No, not b> lte alone" Her mother had come from nowhere to stand beside her. “It's all over,” Alison said. Kitty shook her head. Hei | rouge had faded and her skin was white and transparent again. “When you’re 16, that’s what you think—that it’s all over. But when you’re my age, sweet, you know it’s just beginning.” There was a party. She danced with Philip ones and they talked a little about winter sports. But his face had closed, telling her nothing of what he had felt while he waited on the terrace for Teresa to go away with Sam. He had stayed out so long that his hands were very cold. When the music stopped he took her ttf Edna. “Your mother has gone upstairs to her room,” Edna told her. “Perhaps you’d like me to show you yours.” The room with the canopied bed and the chaise longue was so beautiful she didn’t want to go to sleep in it. She just wanted to look at it while the music came up from below. Unreal, touched with magic, all of this, ending with silk sheets and solitude and a song of possessive love. (.To gc Continued)
