Th6 finest birds in the country are produced in this section, the glowers giving their flocks unusual attention, along with proper feeding which produces juicy, tender meat for- - family table. Turkey raising is another medium of farming and a year’s harvest of the Thanksgiving and holiday season bird increases the over-all production in our county. While many of the county-grown turkeys are shipped to large city markets, we can help promote the industry- by asking for an Adams County turkey.

Increase In Cancer Os Lune;

By HWAAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. OVER a twenty-five year period, cancer of the lung has grown from • a relatively rare disease to one of the most common tumor growths, it is believed that there is actually an increased incidence of the disease rather than just more accurate diagnosis. Improved diagnostic methods have brought to light more cases, but they cannot entirely account for the great increase of the disease. Environmental Factor Many studies have been conducted to find some factor in our general environment that may be causing this increase in cancer of the hingThough lung cancer can be treated by surgical procedure, a real cure cannot be found Without knowledge of what is causing the disease. It is In dn effort to pin down the growth cause that various studies have been made. Substances Blamed j We have known for a long time' that certain substances can cause and increase the growth of cancer. Many of the common factors that have been suggested as reasons for this increase are the tar from roads and exhaust fumes of motor cars. However, it is not likely that these are the causes, since lung cancers are just as prevalent in the wide open spaces as where motor cars and roads are common. \ Occupational Connection x It has been found that the Incidence of cancer is most prevalent in certain types of occupational groups. It is more com-

The Ziegfeld Follies may be iL revived. Negotiations are under way with the firm which controls the title looking to a New York production next season. The Follies were perhaps the best advertised of the many colorful revuee • which were current in the ’2o’s. They were essentially vaudeville sketches, gorgeously staged, and including both humor and beauty. . The Follies included such popular figures as Fannie Brice and Will - Rpgers. All these shows lapsed daring the depression, and have not been revived. To some extent their place has been taken by colorful operettas, such as Oklahoma, South Pacific and the other Hammerstein-Rodgers triumphs. Yet many would be glad to see them again on the stage or screen. o—o ..A _ * I , A Costly Fork:—• Who said anything about unification of the armed forces, or an end of inter-service rivalry? A recent incident shows how intense and how foolish this Inter-service •5 V . ’ . bickering can be. John Beeler, a national guardsman in Maine, wanted to join the Marine corps. A transfer was arranged to release him. But when Beeler started turning his equipment into the National guard, a developed. He couldn’t find his mess fork —value 12 cents. The Marine corps and Beeler offered to pay cash for the missing fork, but that wouldn’t do. They conducted an i. tensive search for a fork in surplus Stores throughout the area, but with no success. Finally, the Marines found a fork in a reserve unit’s kitchen supplies and Beeltransfer was completed. This incident is not without its amusing side. Yet it bespeaks a serious situation. The amount of effort involved in finding one fork is utterly foolish. That such a fuss was made shows how wide are the gulfs between the armed forces. It explains, in large measure, why the cost of defense is so high. Apparently the services spend as much time bickering between themselves as they do in preparing for the defense of the country. , ,

monly found in miners who t. s exposed to dusts, such as cat alt, bismuth, nickel, and arsenic, and In these dealing with radioactive dusts. Recently, a group of one hundred persons suffering from definitely proven cases of cancer cf the lung were studied in comparison to one hundred persons who did not have the disease. It was found that there was no appreciable difference in their exposure to various dusts, fumes, and Smokes, and that cancer was not too much greater In those living in industrial areas than those living in country areas. Heavy Smoking However, it was found that among other things, a significantly higher proportion of those that had cancer had smoked very heavily in comparison with those that did not hate the disease. This study, therefore, illustrates It might be possible that extremely heavy smoking may be a contributing factor in lung cancer. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mr. D. V.: I take insulin for diabetes. I have to travel, and Would like to know if it would be all right for me to carry the insulin Mn-rettigerated while traveling. \. Answer: If the Insulin is re* moved from the refrigerator and immediately put tn a small thermos bottle, it can usually be kept for a day or so at its same cool temperature. A period of a day or so will not cause the insulin to lose its potency. However, the insulin should not be exposed to direct heat or sunlight.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN THE NEXT morning the trio again met tn Linda's apartment. Sam produced ata copy of the precious and damaging agreement Which J. G. Stanley, president of the Stanley Construction Company, tn a moment of indiscretion had entered into to defeat business competition. It was the copy which Nancy Kelly, also in a moment of indiscretion, had taken out of the office of Spencer and Charles. It was the crux of the whole, long drawn out lawsuit against his company. Under the beading of •‘confidential information" between lawyer and client, It had been held unattainable by the court. ; Spike snatched the papers from Sam's hand. He read the agreement through twice, rubbed tus jowls half a dozen times before speaking. "It looks pretty good. It ought to be worth SIO,OOO. We’ll try it anyway.” Sam moistened his lips. “Who’ll try it? What I mean, Spike, how*re you going to do it? Suppose old J. G. would can— ’’ Spike laughed. The laugh expressed more of a sneer than mirth. He knew what Sam was thinking. Sam was thinking whom Spike might delegate to do the shaking down. “Don’t worry, Sam. This Is a job I’ll enjoy doing myself. It’s going to be slick and clean. The best deal I’ve made in a long time. Let’s see, 10,000 bucks—half for me, 2500 for Linda and 2,500 for you.” \ Sam started to say something, changed his mind. He wanted to ask now Spike figured Linda should get as much as he. When Spike made a decision on the spoils nobody questioned It. That’s the way it always had been. If Spike was the brains. Spike got the biggest cut. That was Spike’s reasoning. > \ ■ • • John G. Stanley, head of the Stanley Construction company was an individualist. He was hard headed, independent, with a streak of arrogance that sometimes had made him conscienceless in his dealings with others, even those closely allied to him In business and other pursuits. He had a twist in his character that made him the despair of his attorneys, and especially Humphrey Charles. John G. Stanley had to be credited for one thing. Almost single-handed he had built up a great organization and a great fortune. His great fault, as Hufhphrey Charles saw it, was his unwillingness to take counsel of anyone. He had won his way up through hard fighting. He refused to accept changing ethics in business. He was of the school of driving men urhose lust for sucoesH in business and undertaking made him scornful of danger. fete was in the habit of thinking of himself as a lone Wolf, and he had engaged in more than one hot battle with \ Humphrey Charles about taking single-handed risks. He sometimes sought the counsel of his attorneys and then disregarded it as soon as given. His hardheaded arrogance cost, him many a dollar in his day, but

on the other hand, he had come through* with profit where others had failed. Unknown to his attorneys, at the time of its writing, he nad entered an illegal, unethical contract with men of shady character to defeat competition. \ K i It was this contract, which if introduced tnto trial of the suit against mm, might send him to jaiL or at least result in a fine and unsavory publicity. v Not that J. G. Stanley cared about a fine or publicity. He did care about being beaten at his own high nanded game. He had never been beaten yet. He would fight to his last dollar to remain unbeaten. Pinned down to ‘ the full story of his illegal maneuvers by Humphrey Charles, he said ne guessed be knew more than any lawyer, anyway. Nevertheless, it was these dealings that had tested every legal trick known to Humphrey Charles and his half dozen associates who were assisting him in keeping their unruly client's act under cover. It was a copy of papers of this deal that Nancy Kelly, a trusted, if tired stenographer, one night had taken home so that she might catch up on her work. It was a copy of this deal which rested snugly in the inside pocket of Spike Adams the day he had arranged his time so as casually to, meet J. G. Stanley. The meeting occurred at the bar of a hotel. Sp|ke had away of learning people’s habits. He learned that J. G. Stanley’s two-fisted individualism was fortified each afternoon about five o’clock by a stop at the bar frequented by men of importance. The afternoon that Spike chose to engage in conversation with J. G. Stanley at the bar, there were only a few persons in the oakpaneled barroom case. Spike /appraised them all before he sidled up to J. G. Stanley. “Mr. Stanley, I believe?” “Yes, sir, who are you?” Spike rubbed his hand across his chin. My name is Regan. You don’t know me, Mr. Stanley. Nevertheless 1 nave something to say to you that you will consider quite important. Shall we be seated?" Spike motioned toward a booth at the far end of the room. A half hour later Spike Adams leaned back against the wall. “You can take it or leave it, Mr. Stanley. Take it and it’s a closed book. Leave it, and there's no telling whose hands this little matter we’ve been talking over might drop into.” The color of J. G. Stanley’s face was bordering on the purple. He started to sputter, "Why, why—” Spike continued calmly. “I know Mr. Stanley, you’re go* Ing to say this is extortion. A crime. That you could step right over to that telephone and call police headquarters, even yell police, and that would be all there is to it. \ “You’re a tnan of experience, Mr. Stanley, and a very rich man. You’ve climbed pretty high. It’s no secret you've used some rough methods. You’ve been a little shady tn your day, now haven’t you, Mr. Stanley? Don’t tell me you’ve never paid for a little secrecy.” '

Spike Adams said he could assure Mr. Stanley that the little matter spoken of was just between themselves, and added, “Os course you wouldn’t care to have your lawyers know of our conversation.” “Spike by some piercing intuition, had touched J. G. Stanley's nfost vulnerable spot. - J. G. nad always said he knew more than those lawyers and he’d gut out without them. ■ j • • • One day within a week the train of Linda Van "Het’s sapphire velvet house gown went whipping and twisting over the rugs of her apartment. She was pacing like a caged animal. Two shorts, a long and a short. , Would that bell never ring! Like so many men who have battled their way to material success without the benefit of much academic education, J. G. Stanley had one blind spot. This was his family, his wife, Edith Glendenning Stanley, and his son, Phil. It was to Phil, and Phil only, that J. G. confided the story of his purchase of silence from Spike Adams, whom he only knew as Regan. Phil listened to his father’s confession, half amazed, half amused at the knowledge that dowh deep in the character of this strange iron man who was his father, there was a weak spot. Phil asked to see a copy of the damaging papers that were supposed to have been locked in the files of Spencer and Charles, away from all eyes, and yet were seen bj* someone who knew their value as means of extortion. He examined the papers, asked his father a few questions. The whole business, somehow, struck him as more of a farce than a tragedy. He couldn’t account for his feeling. He asked his father if it was possible someone among his own employes might have gotten on the inside of the whole affair without his father’s suspecting it. , “Absolutely not.” “Then there must have been a leak some other way. How else?” “Those lawyers. I wouldn’t trust any of ’em.” “Now, Dad, don’t be ridiculous. Certainly you trust your own lawyers, don’t you? J. G. declared that a man couldn’t trust anyone these days, and then modified his statement by saying that Humphrey Charles was an exception. Humphrey Charles had gotten J. G, Stanley out of some tight Situations before. “Then you are being ridiculous. It’s preposterous.” Phil told his father that and he had hardly uttered the words when , the thought came to him that in a big law office with a large staff of employes the idea of a leak from that source wasn’t preposterous as it might sound. Nancy Kelly ought to know. He’d ask her. He asked his father to see the typewritten matter that J. D. had crumpled in his hand. “What is this, Dad?" “That’s the stuff that cost me SIO,OOO, copied word by word from my own language, it's— * “Who do you suppose Regan is?” “Some go-between.” (To Be Coafiaued?

Slate Inspectors In County November 23 Heating Plants To Undergo Inspection State coal inspectors will be in Adams county on Nov. 23, to inspect heating plants of four county units, preparatory to clamping down oft aft old law, with new teeth, that forces all publie taxing units to use coal mined in Indiana mines, county auditor Frank Kitson announced. A 1848 law passed by the legislature states that all municipal, corporations and political subdivisions of the state "are required to purchase coal mined in the state . . . should be prompted by (his, the user’s) interest in the prosperity and survivorship of this important industry which employs Indiana labor and pays Indiana taxes.” Kitson said Indiana coal is not now being used In county heating plants and, as far as he knows, never has. “We want to use the best coal available,” asserts Kitson. At preseift' the court house, county jail, county home and highway department' properties will be inspected to for recommendations for the use of Indiana coal. Court News Divorce Case Silvino W.
