PAGE SIX THE HERALD, MONMOUTH, OREGON THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1027 Theatre Where Death Played Tragic Kole It I By Arthur Brisbane SOLDIERS FOLLOW LOANS? LAUGH MONTH. JUST SPOILED. SHE FLATTENED HIM. Senator Shipstead, of Minnesota, hasn't been in Washington long enough to know what respectable legislators owe to high finance, and will investigate American bankers, loans to South American countries, including Nicaragua. In vestigating such loans might ex plain landing of United States troops here and there. Troops sometimes go where loans gd. Senator Shipstead says Ameri cans made a seven million dollar loan to Nicaragua in 1912, during a conservative regime. That would be seven million good reasons for American intervention to keep Nicaragua Liberals from kicking out a Government that they don't want, as this country did in 1776. All of those private loans to South American republics, like loans that some of our bankers are making in Europe, are dangerous, especially when, as is usual, they are thoroughly USURIOUS loans. Dr. Charlotte De Galiere Daven port, charming lady who lectures on health, looks about forty, and is actually 102 years old. The lady has Russian and French blood, both good for long life. And, most important, she weighs 120. pounds. Your body is an irrigation farm. Your heart the pump. Your blood the water. A light body calls for light pump ing, making the heart's work easy. Cut down your weight wisely, and add to your life. Every added pound means more wprk for the heart and arranged it Americans ar to laugh, and thiu. keep up their "morale." It would be better to locate laugh month in December. For looking back over eleven months of much promise, much resolving and little performance, laughing would be easy. There is such a thing as over doing laughing, for laughing is like smoking. When you do either, you dost think. And what the American people need is more, THINKING. J. N. Moore, University of Illinois sophomore, wrote, before killing himself, "it raises the devil with me to think of having to elavt around and work like the devil and just grow old. I can't see the idea of wading through school, then dash bravely out and get a big old job at a hundred a month." In six words of Ms letter the young man explains what is really the matter with him, "I am just spoiled, I suppose." If all the spoiled children in this foolish country committed suicide, there would not be enough graveyards. Mrs. Katherine Trilling, on trial for murder in Denver, married Herman Trilling, in New York, when tuberculosis had reduced him to ninety pounds weight She worked in tailor shops to pay hit expenses at a sanitarium for con sumptives, then 'sold her furniture and everything she had, raised a thousand dollars and took him to Colorado to save his life, "She says she shot him by acci dent The prosecuting attorney says she shot him purposely In the back because she was jealous. What do you suppose the Jury will say T ', Mr. Bruce, Australian Premier, says we are too modest in thif country that's quite a surprise and we ought to tell the world what wonderful things we have done and are doing. "I do not suppose there is a country on the civilised globe more misunderstood and unjustly villined than the United States,1' says he. The month of January, 1927, in which good resolutions are now oozing away, is to be "national laugh month." Moving picture potentates and others have decided The Australian Premier knows that. men do not like their credi tors, especially when they don't in tend to pay. And the United States does not need good will propaganda among other nations as much as it needs the right kind of fighting air fleet and other equipment for defense, and retribution. Farm Crop Acreage, Yield, Price r Estimated by Extension Service Composite yield' of farm crops for the season just ended was 4.6 above the .it ceding 10-year aerhge, while the general level ef farm price fell 3 frr cent from the figure of November 15, according to the latest report of agricultural statistics by the Oregon state college ex tension service, based on the review ot the United States Crop Report ing boxrd. Composite yields were 10-16, and year-end price level 127 of pre-war prices. Con.posite production of llif. 17 principal crops in proportion to 10-year average value x-n s estimated at 37 per cent greater . than last year, and 7.9 iei tent gi eater than the average production for the 10-ycar period. 1916-'2S. Pet capita production was 22 per cent greater than last year, though .7 per cent less than for the 10-year period. . t The December price figured is 16 per cent below that of December 15 a year ago. The purchasing power as estimated by the federal department was placed al 8U for November as against 81 for October, the base beiaf the preceding five-year period. The purchasing power has declined steadily since last May when it stood at 88. Corn and hogs registered price decline to mid-December, when the federal report was issued. Oats was higher than at any time since July. ' 1925, hay prices rose since late summer, and butter and eggs showed seasonal advances. The world wheat crop was put at about 2 per cent more than fo last year. The Australian crop is nearly 43 million bushels more tha i last year, the Argentina crop 24 million more. Russian shipments arc slightly heavier this year, but the European crop outside Russia is nearly 11 per cent below last year's. Since the European rye is 15 per cent below and the potato crop 20 per cent under average, Euro pean demand for food products is expected to exceed that of last year. Fall sowing conditions in Europe were favorable. Winter grain conditions in Germany December 1 were well above normal, winter wheat and barley being the same as last year, and rye not quite so good. Reports from other north European states were favorable with a few exceptions. Fall seeding was delayed in France, where fear is held that fall acreage would be under that of last year. Favorable out look was also reported from north Africa. 5 The Oregon wheat crop is estimated at about the same acreage as last year. The condition is reported by the Portland branch of the federal office of statistics as considerably higher than the past 10-year average. The Washington seeding is put at 1,235,000 acres with condi tion 98 pec cent normal. This is an increase of 15 per cent over the 10-year average. The UaHed States winter wheat area is put at 5 per cent above that of laat year almost 2 million acres more than the 39,799,000 acres, revised KB5 estimate. The condition December 1 was 81.8 per cent, .8 per ce under the condition of a year earlier. The 10-year average is 84.4 per cent. Oregon rye for grain is not largely grown, the acreage averaging . some 10.C00 acres. bot this year's sowing. The average fr tht coun try is estimated at 3,i79,0O0 acres, 1.9 per cent above the rrviscd esti mates for 1925. The condition December 1 was placed by the federal department at 86.3 as against a 10-ycar average of 88. 1 is tr Scene shows firemi-T searching the balcony of the Laurler Theatre, Montreal.

Any enlargement felt beneath the skin of any part of the body ia generally described by 1U pos sessor as a "lump." Sometimes they occur as a result of bruising, or other forceful contact In others, they appear without ap parent cause; particularly ia this true of lumps in the female breast Visiting one of the large clinics in Baltimore ia 1916, I witnessed the removal of one of these, by a very skillful surgeon; he explained while operating: "This is not a malignant growth," he aaldj "It is smooth, almost round, not very hard; not painful; freely movable; -about the size of a small English walnut harmless; pity to operate, but she was morbid would have it out; no, we shall not take the en tire breast it's not necessary; just the thing itself pity to do that" . '- Upon my . return home, I was consulted by a lady with the same sort of "lump" in her breast I ad- ? vised leaving it alone, in the mean time keeping her under observa tionj iLi? riving her no trouble- today, ten ycarr mver. - Not nil lumps of the braatt are cancerous. But if you discover n lump in your breast, pleaea go at once to a skilled physician or sur geon one who knows. Dost put the examination off for a ainglo day. Don't trust the advice of neighbors, or of the various culthrtit that infest our land. Some 0 these lumps are malignant; a skilled scientist may be able to de tect the difference the ignoramus cannot. . And, remember this: no "serum" or "protein" has yet been discovered that will cure cancer, no matter what the claim, 1 To Broadcast 1 L. PURE! Eat and Eat and ! EAT!
