What The Public Should
Know About Cancer
—" r
Prepared For Publication By The
CuaaiuiM or Ihe iviedi
cal Association of Georgia And
The Georgia Division of The
American Society For The Control
of Cancer
V
Warning No. 4
In the previous communications vve
have spoken of cancers as occurring
in those of mature life and old age,
but there is a form that attacks even
young children and babies; in fact, it
may be present in a baby at birth.
This form of cancer is known as
“sarcoma.”
It arises in certain organs of the
body more often than in others.
Sometimes it is found in or between
the muscles and in the bones and
joints. The lymph glands may be
primarily involved. There are many
varieties of sarcoma; some are much
more malignant than others; some
grow very >idly and yield to no
treatment; others grow slowly and do
not recur when removed.
Sarcoma spreads from the primary
tumor to distant parts of the body by
means of the blood stream. The cells
grow into :he vessels which pass
through the tumor, are broken off,
and then cr.ried to the lungs, the
liver, brain, and, in fact, any part of
the body. As soon as a tumor is dis
covered, coi u’t your doctor. Let him
take the responsibility!
Sarcoma occurs in the jaws, around
the joints, ar.d in the long bones. A
very careful tudy is necessary to
make a diagnosis, but once it is made,
extensive a'd radical means should
be used in the treatment.
In closing this series, we wish to
urge those who have any suspicious
symptoms to onsult a physician. If
he is not sure, have a consultation.
Do not put off seeing a doctor! It
may cost you your life!
The Country Correspondent
(By Walter C. Hawes)
All these brazen city dailies think
they are tremendous shakes,
How they lise to slir:g the satire at
us si euy country jakes!
How they flaunt the shrieking scare
heads! How they -slinx the colored
ink
For same high-toned hootch carousal
or the latest movie r.tinlf,
Till 1 get a little weary listening how
the city boys
Drown the r:111 email voice of wisdom
with a fog horn full of noise.
1 prefer the homegrown doings, 1 a:n
fed up over much
With the rowings of the Frenchies
and the Jappids and the Ducth;
Let me have the home-town paper;
take the' noisy sheets away;
Let’s hear what the correspondents
from the country districts say.
Has ,'iim Gordan built a house yet?
Tell us how the ball team scored.
Are there any brand new babies?
Anybody bought a Ford?
Did they pr.int the old church over?
Will they ever bo re*f or oil?
Anybody had the measles, or hay fe
ver, or a boil?
Has May Latham got a fellow? Is
John Allen married yet?
Has Sam Martin made the riffle? He
was in an awful sweat.
Anybody made thejir fortune? Any-’
body played the fool? |
What became of Billy Rodgers’ boy
that ran away from school?
Who’s been giving Sunday dinners?
Who has been invited out?
Who was first to get through thresh
ing? \Vho has caught the biggest
trout?
Tell us how the crops are coming. Is
the weather wet or clear?
How’s the apples and the turkeys?
—that’s the stuff we want to hear.
Let them joke about the country—J
say that you are green and slow— 1
It’s the country correspondence that
makes the home-town paper go.
NEXT
The pame is to see who will be the
r.ext man up. So let’s stop and t
think. “In 1884—
The world's most famous automo*,
bile manufacturer was working in a
bicycle shop.
A millionaire hotel owner was
hopping bells.
America’s steel king was stoking

A president of the United States

A great merchant was carrying

School Boys Beat Fathers
As Growers of Cotton
Athens, Ga., January 26.—First
prize in the state-wide cotton
growing contest for high school boys
in agricultural classes, will go to
Dewey Morgan,,a junior in the high
school at Buchanan, according to an
announcement made by the Georgia
state board for vocational education.
This cighteen-year-o.ld boy produced
1,849 pounds of lint cotton, which
was valued at $647.15 on three meas
ured acres of land. In addition to
the honor of defeating more than
300 contestants who entered the con
test, Dewey will be awarded the first
prize of SIOO in gold, which was con
tributed by the Atlanta Trust com
pany.
The prize was awarded only on
the basis of the value of lint produc
ed as determined by the Georgia Cot
ton Growers’ Co-operative associa
tion, but in addition to the value
placed upon the four bales of cotton
the sale of the seed brought the pro
ceeds from this three acres, exclusive
of the SIOO prize, up to $765.95. The
cost of production as determined by
accurate records kept on the project
was only $87.47, ‘
Part of School Work
This three-acre project in cotton
growing on which Dewey Morgan
will realize a net profit of almost
SBOO was conducted as a reguluar
part of his high school work in agrf
culture. He is one of seventy-two
boys in the high school at Buchan
an, in Haralson county, who are
studying agriculture of the State
Agricultural college, and who not
only gives instruction in (i the class
room while school is in session but
duuring the summer months assists
the boys with the production of crops
ami live stock.
Thirty-one of the boys in the
Buchanan school entered the contest
in qoAon production and together
had more -than 100 acres that was
grown under the supervision of their
instructor, William Putney.
Other Prize Winner*
In addition to the first prize of
SIOO in gold, five other prizes were
awarded. The second prize was won
by Herbert Warner, of Hartwell;
third went to George O’Kelley, of
Winterville; fourth to Hoy Park, of
Commerce; fiftw and sixth to Julian
Moeijwiski and Foye Sanders, res
pectively, ,of the Red Creek High
school, in Hart county.
The first five boys in the contest
made nearly four bales of cot
ton on three acres. The sixth boy
made 1,440 pounds of lint cotton and
more than 200 pounds below the pro
duction of his class mate. The first
tt n boys in the contest made thirty
one bales of cotton on thirty acres,
and each bale weighed more than
500 pounds.
The average for the 300 boys in
the Contest, which represents schools
from the entire state, was 282
pounds of lint per acre. Each boy
grew a minimum of three acres. This
represents exactly 200 pounds per
acre more than the aveuage made by
the farmers pf the state.
Editorial Causes Trouble
An editorial, published in the Wil
lacooehee, Ga., newspaper, resulted
in a difficulty between a prominent
physician of that town and the edi
tor of the paper, in which the editor
shot the physician. A dog belonging
to the editor hqd bitten a child of
the doctor, and a few duys after
wards the dog was found dead, and
the following appeared in the paper:
“Don”
(By W. L. Hay)
I might have used the caption “As
sassinated by a Goat, in Sheep’s
Clothing, or the Mongre that Pois
oned a Thoroughbred \ but the fiend
that perpetrated that dastadly act is
not the one I have in mind. I am
thinking of Don; a dog that was a
friend of men, women and children,
and had never wilfully harmed a hu
man being on earth.
Our collie was poisoned and passed
from this life last Friday night, but
he is not nearly so dead as the bush
whacking renegrade that prepared
and administered the fatal dose. I’d
rather be in his position today than
in that of the assassin. Maybe dogs
do not have souls; at least it is r.ot
orthodox to make the claim, but Don
had many of the elements.
He was kind, considerate, thought-'
ful and obedient, but could anybody'
be charitable enough to ascribe a
soul to the coward that would steal,
up to his yard and give him a dose
of poison without any justification
under Heaven?
The number of highly-respected
people who have inquired about Don
and the nature of remarks would in
dicate that he stood higher in b ; -
! community than the white-livered in
dividual that gave him poison; of
course, that fact b nothing to brag
J about, but is a little consolation.
“BEYOND”
(By Ella Wheeler Wilcox)
It seemeth ouch a little way to m
Across to that strange country, th
Beyond.
And yet not strange, • for it i.a
grown to be
The home of those of whom I am
so fond.
It makes it seem -familiar and mo-'
dear,
As journeying friends bring di.
tant regions near.
So close it lies/ that when my sight i
clear
I think I almost see the gleaming
strand.
I know I feel those who have gone
from here
Come close enough sometimes to
touch my hand,
I ofteyi think but for our veiled eye-
We should find Heaven right round
about us here.
I cannot make it seem a day of dread
When from this dear earth I shall
journey out
To that still dearer country of the
dead. ,
And join the lost ones so long
dreamed about.
I love this world! yet I shall love to
go
To meet the friends who wait for
me I know.
I never stand about a bier and see
The seal of death set on some well
loved face
But that 1 think “One more to wel
come me
I shall cross the interven
ing space
Between this land and that one over
there,
One more to make the strange
‘Beyond’ seem fair.”
A#d so for me there is no 3ting to
death.
And so the grave has lost its vic
tory.
It is but crossing wifh abated breath
And with set face a little strip of
sea
To find th: loved ones waiting on the
shore,
More beautiful, more precious
than before.

Sin of Extravagance
Rome Tribunes Census figures
show that in 24 states the municipal,
county and state debts in 1922 were
two and a third times as big as they
were in 1912. They’ve increased
since then. A considerable part of
taxes goes to pay interest on these
debts. Ertravagance in national gov
ernment is dangerously acute, but
not as much so as in taxes, counties
! and municipalities.
A Good Example
Cordele Dispatch: Ladies of Ash
burn are*studying plans to have trees
planted along the national highway.
It is a fine idea. It ought to be pecan

way without interference with the
trees.

Small Towns Lead
In College Students
Emory University, Ga.—A survey
of the sources from which the five
largest colleges in Georgia draw their
students which has just been comple
ted by the alumni secretary of Emory
University,'shows that in the three
years cf 1920-21-22 a total of 2841
men entered the freshmen classes of
Emory, University of Georgia, Mer
cer, Oglethorpe and Georgia Tech
them high schools and secondary
schools within the state. A total of
$57, or 19 per cent, were enrolled
fom Atlanta high schools.
\ More students in these Geogia
Colleges are coming from the small
towns in the state than from the
large cities, according to this-report,
which shows that 424 students, or 17
per cent of all the freshmen enter
ing these five colleges in the three
years mentioned, came from cities of
less than I.OOU population; 328, or 11
per cent, came from high schools in
cities with a population over 25,000;
256 or 9 per cent came from cities
outside of Atlanta with population
from 10,000 to 25,000.
