PRINGLE BROS. CO., Edgerton, Wis. Wisconsin Tobacco Reporter Edgerton - Wisconsin E> G. RISTAD - * Publisher FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1921. Entered as Second-class Mail Matter at the Postoffice in Edgerton, Wisconsin. The maintenance division of the Wis consin Highway Commission is sending out notices urging that local communi ties that are interested in keeping cer tain highways free from snow and open for traffie during the coming winter shall petition the county board for the same in order that the county board can provide the necessary funds and the necessary equipment to do the work required. A conference of all the farm bu reau secretaries in Wisconsin has been called by the state secretary to take | place in Madison, Wisconsin, on Octo- ! ber 28th. The purpose of this confer- j ence is to* consider and discuss the work and problems of the county and stat(( | farm bureaus and to outline a definite j program of farm bureau activities that may be carried out jointly by the sev eral county farm bureaus and the Wis consin farm bureau. This will be the first conference of the kind to be held by the Wisconsin farm bureau secre taries. It is likely that it will result in a definite program of similar bi-monthly or quarterly conferences, each to be de voted to the discussion of some definite activity or phase of farm bureau work for the better development of the farm- j ing industry. A Nation-wide Perfect Package Movement will be conducted by the railroads, steamship lines and the ex press carriers of the United States and Canada during the month of November, which will be known as the Perfect Package Month. The shipping public of this city are asked to co-operate in the plan. The purpose of the Perfect Package Month is to enable the carriers to aid shippers in their packing prob lems, and to help improve the trans portation service of the ccuntry. Dur ing the month of November the rail roads, steamship lines and express com panies wiil examine the condition of all freight and express shipments and rec ord the faults of shipments which do not come up to the general classifica tions of Perfect Packages. Every city and town throughout the United States and Canada that ship by rail and water will be informed of these plans and be asked to aid in carrying them out It does not matter where she lives, nor what is her nationality and place on the social ladder. She is a woman of mature years; she belongs to a na tion that years ago recognized the equality of woman and man by enact ing laws, placing the two in all func tions of the state and the community on terms of absolute equality in privi lege and in duty. She has been inter viewed by a well known European mag azine devoted to the interests of wom anhood. Among other things she was asked to say what in her opinion was the effect upon women of their eco- JACK TAR TOGS Rub ’em! Tub ’em! Scrub ’em! They Come Up Smiling.

The styles are always good. nomic and political equality with men. Her answer is rather surprising; it throws the thought in a direction that makes the whole thing anew problem, and a rather romantic problem at that. Her opinion is not conventional, ex cept in “the eternal feminine” which radiates through her words. She says : “The ideal woman as an individual rather than as a type is with us also under the new freedom; in the home and in the offices she working quietly, modestly, conscientiously and efficient ly. She is honest with herself; not noted for flashy clothes, nor for the number of her gentlemen admirers. But the men of today are not talking about this type. The young men are efiminate, and talk about the woman whose abreviation of skirt and dis play of ankle is most pronounced. In days past man demanded a higher de gree of purity and modesty in woman than in man, and he had to take a step upward in the scale of the ideal to become woman’s equal. With the legal equality established, woman has not only been placed upon man’s politi cal and economic level, but so doing, she has come to share also in the other levels. If man is going to retain his former notion of the ideal woman, it will be up to him to take the first up ward step; his ideals of life, includ ing public life, will have to be re formed. Woman will take the upward step, but this time she will not take il alone; she will follow the man; join him doing it. If he does not he has no reason to complain if the woman remains on the lower level with him. Now, as ever before, woman wants to be what the man wants her to be. Instinctively, intuitively as well as de liberately and consciously, while she wants to be his equal in all things, she wants to please him. A revision of man’s ideals upward will at once find a ready response in the woman’s mind, and start her upward to the man’s ideal. Only the new woman is more sophisticated, more critical of the value and the standard of the ideal. She can’t be so easily fooled by soft words; but she wants to please him; that law can not be legislated in to, nor out of life. It is there like the law of gravi tation. The right sort of man loves his wife, not because she is more beau tiful than other women, but because she is his partner in life and together with him shares in the parenthood of the children. A wife is the equal of her husband when she loves him for the same reason. If a man’s ideal is dress and beauty, and nothing else, woman will try to please him, but if she does, she helps him to lower the standard of love, home, and human life. The new' equality does not effect the immutability of womanV relation as woman to man, but it throws a greater responsibility upon him in work ing out his relation to her upon an ascending plane of life, because for ever and ever it is woman’s nature to please the man.” Is she right?

Cancer must be recognized early to effect a cure. The problem, then, is to get the case into the hards of a competent medical advisor while it is still in the early and curable stage, or even more fortunately while che pa tient exhibits merely those conditions which are now widely recognized as predisposing factors in the causation of cancer. No matter how great his skill or how modern his knowledge the doc tor cannot help a patient who does not come to him. The people must there fore be taught to recognize the disease when it first begins and to realize that early surgical removal, or the applica tion of other modern remedies which are sometimes useful in competent hands, is the only hope of cure and that hope is very great if the patient is wise enough to act promptly. It is easy for a certain type of mind to make the charge that propaganda of this kind represents only another scheme of the doctors to get patients. Fortunately it is also easy to answer that the doctors lose rather than gain 3ince nearly every cancer patient gets into the doctor’s hands sooner or later and in the early stages the operation is 'comparatively small and trifling while in the later stages it may be desperate and costly. SUMMARY. In conclusion the following points should be especially remembered and impressed upon all patients who seek advice: 1. Cancer is not a ‘‘blood disease” hut always starts as a local growth. Her.ce it can always be cured by re moval if discovered and treated early enough. 2. Cancer in the beginning may cause no pain or other noticeable symp toms of ill health. 3. Cancer is probably not hereditary. 4. Cancer is not contagious. 5. No really competenc doctor will treat a condition that might mean can cer without thorough examination. 6. The cancer patient must learn to seek treatment as promptly as the pa tient with appendicitis. About the Rich.

Shanghai is an international city —-the only international city in the world. It is controlled and governed by the treaty powers, which include all the principal powers that have es tablished treaty relations with China, except France, which has its own ter ritory or concession adjoining the in ternational settlement. In such a community unique solutions have to be found for unique problems, and no problem has been more difficult than that of the administration of justice. For the foreign resident it is a sim ple matter, writes Nathaniel Peffer in Asia magazine. He is subject only to the laws of his own country, because of the privilege of extra-territoriality which China conceded to foreign powers some 70 years ago, when she was forced to concede so much else, including parts of her territory. Thus, for the American, there is an Ameri can district attorney to administer American law, just as in New York, Chicago, San Francisco or Joplin. As for the British, Russian, Japanese or Italian, even if no special court has been established for him, there is at least a consular court. The result is of course, that your neighbor can do things with impunity that would net you $25 and costs, or vice versa. “Satan Finds Some Mischief Still —f The mischief of water is not that it does not run, but that, not running, It corrupts, and, corrupting, breeds poisonous miasma, so that they who live in the neighborhood inhale dis ease at every breath. The mischief of indolence is not that it neglects the use of powers and the improve ment of the opportunities of life, but that it breeds morbid conditions in every part of the soul. An indolent man is like an unoccupied dwelling. Scoundrels sometimes burrow in it. Thieves and evil characters make it their haunt; or, if they do not, it is full of vermin. A house that is used does not breed moths half so fast as a house that, having the beginnings of them, stands empty. Woe be to them, who take an old house, and carry their goods into it! A lazy man is an old house full of moths in every part. 4-e* Artificial Limbs. Artificial arms and legs were, it Is believed, used in Egypt as early as 700 B. C.
