Mrs. Truman won the biggest victory . . . she kept her man. •; ——o o The disappointed candidates in .oday’s presidential primaries can , smile and call it an April fool’s Joke. ; / o——o—— Nebraska and Wisconsin voters i are rolling up a decision today will either keep Sen. Taft in the race r or clear the way for Gen. Eisenhower. ——-o -O— — President Truman will not oc- . . cupy the remodeled White House after neat January 20, but the na- • tion need not put up a “For Rent’’ r, ivign, for several applicants are already willing to sign a four year lease on the show place. Second class postage rates for n vjpapirs went up today, the first -of three boosts to be made during the coming two years. A slight increase in classified ad rates in this newspaper also became -effective today, (he last adjustment being in 1945. o -o ■] In addition to an enlarged and modern building, the Monmouth . school will have 20 acres of land devoted to playgrounds, a baseball diamond, a football field, ten-nis-courts, an agriculture garden ; and ample parking areas for visit tors. ’ jit will be one of the outstanding rural schools in the state. August Selking and the advisory board have been doing ian excellent job in administering the Root township school affairs. Q Lo The man who goes to work in denim overalls will be dressed in style this year, at least as far as choice of fabric is concerned. Denim,has always been considerx' ed a useful, durable material, but until recently it was generally reserved tpr work clothes. Now fashion authorities say that it will be one of the most popular * fabricsjfor women’s clothes during ■f&s2. Smart evening dresses as well as sport clothes will be manufactured from dehim, but we doubt their feminine appeal. .. o——o We regret to see Charlie W. Wilson leave government service, for he is one of. the hardest working most capable business executives/•'in the country. Men like him have opinions and Mr. Wilson has stated his on the proposed wage boost for steelworkers and the resultant hike in steel prices. He disagreed with the VVSB proposal and stepped down us mobilixaticn boss, a post he assumed at the start of the national defense program. He is a ’ high type citizen and patriot, who sacrificed financial position and retirement to serve his country. 1 „ .

: hoarseness May Be A Warning

By HERMAN H. E'JNDESEN, M.D. r HOARSENESS Is easy to Neglect, just because it is not painful Yet this very frequent com- *■ plaint can be a serious warning sign. ’ / \ Hoarseness may be due to nothing more than a severe cold, or an infection limited to the larynx, the voice-box containing the vocal cords. Sometimes, however, it may result from tumors of the vocal cords or the area around them. Often, it follows a severe sinus infection, with persistent dripping from the sinus into the throat. f Usually Ignored A person can hardly help noticing an attack of hoarseness in himself, and his friends are also sure to call it to his attention. Almost any other symptom that is so obvious would receive "! prompt treatment of some sort. This is not so. with hoarseness, since ft is usually not painful and does not interfere too much with one’s work. It is usually passed of! as laryngitis, and the thought that it will disappear by itself. T Thus, many persons who would i ’-L , <GopjrushU ISM, Kiac:

be quick to do something about stomach trouble or headachesymptoms which in themselves are rather vague—neglect this definite and localized symptom May Be Due To Growth 3 ; Anyone with hoarseness lasting longer than three weeks should consul! a physician. By using a mirror?he can inspect the larynx and vocal cords and discover the disease process taking place. In most cases he will find a mild inflammation of the. cords. A few cases, however, may be due to a growth on the cords, either a polyp or early tumor. Recently, It has been shown that if tumors of the larynx are discovered early, cancer in this area dan be cured. This is the ' reason it Is Important not to ignore- any prolonged hoarse- : ness, but to seek the advice of a J doctor promptly. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS , F.

Only when absolutely necessary. Usually they indicate haste and carelessness in the coinriosiiion of the original letter.

My husband is not a “Junior.” Does my son bear the name John Robert Smith 11 or III? A. Your son is John Robert Smith, Jr., and he retains the “Jr.” only so long as his grandfather is living, dropping it thereafter. Q. Is it the duty of the person who is pouring tea to put the sugar into the guest’s cup? A. Yes; but she should ask how much sugar is desired. — June Moon Listed Memphis, Tenn.

Henn glared mildly. -1 Know the child’s coming home," Heioise said. | “It will be a little help and company tor you," Henri said. “Seems to me you’d look forward to it" “What neip? :Ahd what company?” Heioise demanded. "Leonie hasn’t been raised to do anything about the house, and when she goes gadding about she doesn’t want a sixty-year-old aunt for company. And another thing, while we re on the subject? You don’t always seem to realize this, but when Leome’s home 1 nave to provide a tittle more luxury, You never wanted her to share our deprivations.” i\_. "No,” Henri said. "Her life must net be darkened if we can help it.” “Oh, shuh!” Heioise said. “You. talk like a rag baby. Now strip mooning abcit Leonie.” Henn flushed faintly,’ handed over the new;; riper, and devoted hts full attention to the not biscuits and cjoffee while hcloisei read the obituaries and the “Sojnetimes,”, she said, putting down the paper with a sigh, “I wish We got a paper with a funny page. I’d like tto read about Slim Jim and Buster Brown and Mrs. Rummage.” .! "But. Sister,” Henri said, “those things are for children.” “Well, 1 like them,” Heioise said. *1 wish they’d had them when 1 was a child. Are you going to sing today?”' Henri made a face. , “If you call it sing," he said disgustedly. ‘That woman and her Gregorian music. Ah-ah-hah-ah," ha vocalized. “1 certainly do miss Madame Lavigne. I can’t see.” he went on. airfhg one of his favorite complaints, “1 can't see for the life ot me why they had to bring somebody down here from the North to direct music at the Cathedral. And then she has the gall to say that nobody in Charleston can. sing.” “Well, why don't you take my advice and go over to St. Mary’s? I’ve told you to many a time.” “St. Mary’s is not big enough for my voice. Besides, as I’ve told you many a time, 1 can't put Charlie Durand out. He can't sing but he’s the bass soloist and 1 couldn’t hurt his feelings.” , “Then you'll have to put up with Mrs. Campbell," Heioise said, pouring another cup of coffee.

Henn, with the; better, part of two hours to kill, finished his coffee slowly and wished Cora cigar. Then, sitting out on the piazza, he read dutifully through the paper. “AU this talk about the Panama. Canal,” he muttered at one point. “1 suppose they think every ship from the Pacific ocean is going to stop off at. Charleston just to see what the narbor is tike.” He read on until he was Interrupted by'Heioise, who came down dressed for church and clutching a fan and a prayerbook. •I’m ,oflf,” she announced. “If I don’t see you before you go, remember not to argue with that Mrs. Campbell.” Hertri attended mass at the Cathedral. When the postlude was nearly over and the choir filed out and down, the narrow curving Stairway, he realized that Joseph Newman was beside him and obviously Intended to remain there. Henri, busily nodding ,to friends, said nothing. Outside on the steps m the brilliant sunshine, Joseph finally spoke. “Leonie cornin' home soon, ain’t she?’* r i Henri looked at the boy sharply. He had been accustomed to advise this young man on breathing arid voioe placement and had thought, of him as a sort of protege, but merely as a voice. That the boy could'have, the slightest interest in Leonie had never occurred to him. He hadn’t known they were acquainted. “Yes, my niece will be graduated the end of this week," he said proudly, beginning to descend the steps. 5 “You think Leonie mind if I come to see her?” “1 have no way—” Here Henri checked himself. *1 suppose you’d better ask her," he said. Joseph was not subtle in his methods. He followed Henri around the corner,; his loose coat flapping. **l was wonderin’ if Leonie Is engaged,” he said. “If she is, I wouldn’ want to git een de way." “As far as I know," Henri said, a little stiffly, “my niece is not engaged/* ! Josqph sighed deeply. “Thank you, suh,” he said. "I— I hope I kin corrje roun’ and hear you sing and talk about singing*. I like to git your advice about a thing or tw*p.” “I’ll be glad to give you all the help I Can,? Henri said. *. ( fTo Be CotUwuetU i ■
