M. : THE FARMER AS A MERCHANT FKKQt'ENTI.Y In these columns, espe cially since the appearance nf the formal order by which the highway authori autheri Uch tit Tienten sought net only le check the dHve'epment of roadside vegetable markets, but te eliminate these already In existence, there have been referenies te th need for better farm organizations and the development among farmers of what might be called the merchant's point of view. Growers of fruit mid vegetables in the Interior of .Jersey, like these in this and ether States, have found themselves brought twddenly Inte direct eentait with an In creasing multitude representative of the ultimate consumer This is due te the progress of inad-hitlldlug, the mttitipHclty of motorcars and the growth of the touring and tripping habit. Ne one knows hew many farm mortgages have been paid off within a few years from the profits of small roadside stands established en central meter highways. Hut they have been numerous. Moreover, the direct sales from the forma have been encouraged by appn cletive multitudes with a taste for fresh Tfgetahles and fresh eggs. The Trenten order was Inexplicable. llemetlilng like the long-leokrd-for svsteiu ,f direct purchase it'id sale of foodstuff J kCViuril liUe'i I si tome Inte existence when the administrative officials of New Jersey Issued the edict demanding that the fanners refrain In the future fiem attempting te conduit it retail reaiNIde business. It was i 'intruded that I he moterciits of purchasers might In time dangerously obstruct traffic! The suggestion tlmt the farmers organize and adept the methods of mere experienced uteri hunts offered here nt that time, seems te have been iiniici essnry . It appears new that plans for huge co-operative and well organized fanners' roadside markets are new under way mid that an elaborate system of direct sales "from farm te motor car" will be In force In Jersey nevt summer or even earlier The markets will be estab lished en the main leads, lint tliej will be withdrawn sufficiently from the curb te penult parking iim' for automobiles. Con venient shelters will li established, the prices will be no higher than usual and the stocks will be far mere varied than they have ben In the pat. This s nil as It should be. Opposition from Trenten was needed te make farmers censi ions of their new opportunities and of the extent te which roadside markets can and should be tl-ve'eped.

WHIM: Mr. Jewel), chief of the railway sheptneti, and Snmuel (teinpers weie telling the wei Id that the rail nnd' coat strikes hud been almost phenomenally peaceful, Indictments weie being prepared against three strikers who leiifessed that Ihe.v tried te blew up a Peiitisvlvrlliu Hail Hail lead liildge at Wllmliigteii, Del. Tiie Inquiry into the Herrln iiiassncre was pro ceeding without tnnrked success. And the aeddent Investigators of the Interstate Commerce Commission were uncovering In half n dozen quarters evidence te prove that, while the rail unions nay net sanction or desire violence by their mem bers. Innumerable efforts were mnihi te wreck trains, burn bridges nnd do-trey net only property bin life Naturally It is assumed that strikers were responsible for such offenses against order. nnd decency. In some instances the evidence against striking unlmilsis was cumulative nnd unmistakable The fact Is. of course, that se long as workers arc led te believe that they are being unjustly treated and se leni; ns labor leaders (etitlnue their habit of Inciting their men by bitter speeches and hints of overbearing capitalist tjrnnny, no strikes can be wholly peaceful. It Is true that union leaders theoretically favor peaceful strikes. It litis hern demon strated In the past that whenever ergnnlr.ed labor e.ives way te violence during a strike It loses. The strikes new coining te an end were therefore mere peaceful than strikes of "imllnr scope could have been In the pest This due te n variety of re,inii. Laber has learned that If cantmt profit by disorder. Again the Amcrl'uu or Aiv.erl c.inled unionist is net temperamentallv disposed toward criminal prettlccs of anv sort. Prohibition, which was supposed te be wholly detestable from the workers' point of view, seems te, have helped In this In stance toward the strength of the unions bv enabling them te held together In orderly fashion nnd tn keep their heads under nil circumstances. Sabotage that is, the direct or indiieci destruction of properly had a short trial in the I'nlted States, It was dismissed almost at once by all labor men and unions. The outrages committed bv or for striking unions during the Inst few month- annnt be said te reflect, the collective temper of even the most aggressive unions. Thev have been the work of undisciplined groups whlih. Inseparable from anv movement, are In this case dangerous te the public and te seelnl order a nil most dangerous of nil te the cause of labor Itself, l'er flcii rraen the unions ought te give all their support te the prosecution of men who seem dis posed te take murderous vengeance en a defeiisebss public for real or imagined wrongs op grievances WOOD AND THE U.

LOWHIK I AM nlvvajs interested in philanthropic organizations that solve the problem of volunteer help In the real technical eaie of ti'ltfetitu or nf Mede lweielleliiries. Well or ill The tendency of most of our institutions I Is le use the volunteers te raise money nun te tiFe the paid experts te spend II. I think e.xpeit. pnlil workers in pliilnnthrnp.v lire needed, tin t tee complete a substitution of them for volunteers turns the interest ns well as the authority ever te u body "f workers who tire often temporary in their relntlonslile with flu. Institution mill W'lle t-ntiictlmcs arc mere Intent en making a live- j llhned than en the success of the enterprise. ' That is, they give u geed measure of ser ce for their salaries without doubt, bill thev have n 'nisiiiees rclntientdiip toward the or gnnbnlieii rather than one of sentniciii The personal element gets neglected l"f the prndlrnl bu-lness regime, nnd red l.'i e is the result mid a kind of bureaucracy which Is -both expensive and dull. NOW, velunte ttalned expe iteer workers are a bother te icrts. Thev ask uiiestlnns. they break rules, they take a long while te accomplish a very little, thev ate net tnisi nesslike nnd they are tee interested or net interested enough. Four experts can de the work of ten volunteers, and It take- nf least one expert te train ten volunteers. Se as getting volunteers is net always ensv most institutions shirk that side of reeeivln? help and add te their v early lmd"ci 1" hir ing help in lis place most, l.uf n i a'l I hnve just heard of one ergenlzaiina r i i by Hosten people up en nn islnnl off the const from Murblehcad that turns volunteer help te splendid account and does as much if tint mere for the volunteers ns It gets them te de for its organization. p AHDl'T forty yenrs age or mere some Massachusetts men and women started n fresh-nlr hospital for babies and little ehil dreii suffering from diseases that air and sunlight, sea freezes and nourishing feed wllli hespitnl care would go a long wa toward curing. Children suffering from T. H. bones nnd ulcers, from rickets and from the effects of what is new known te 'be infantile paralysis were the special Ivpe of patients ler which the hospital en the little island was designed le shelter and benefit. The island which is called the Children's Pland in these parts, though whether charted as such en tiie maps I de net knew is about n quarter of n mile long and with out n tree en its whnlp. narrow trip of rock nnd snnjl. Twe beats ply between the lind nnd its little harbor, nnd llie doctors from the nearbv towns come mit once a week te visit the patients in its ward. Dining 'he rest of the time about 100 hildren are c c ' for in four wards by eight expert nitcti'li.tits nnd fourteen velunteets. with pel haps n half dozen men or women en the domestic force te attend te cleaning and looking and the .beats. Tiie experts are two trained nurses and two occupational iherapv Instructors., a secretary and a superintendent and a diet kitchen supervt-er. The volunteers are girls of about twenty or twenty -one years of age, college girls for the most part, some ex -debutantes, some graduates from bearding schools lint are jusd "coming out." TIIHSK volunteers are clie-en from a list of perhaps 21)0 applicants te serve three weeks in daily shifts of seven, for about tight hours each shift. They are housed in a house built expressly for them and come in relays of fourteen from June te the middle of September. As many mere apply than can be utilised, u very careful nelectien is pessjbV ; and as the former volunteers de (he rcruiting for the coming season of their own enthusiastic accord.

BETTON MASSEY On Government's Cancer Experiments IT IS te be hoped that the action of the deveriiment in taking nn active interest in cancer ma-, threw definite light en some features of the disease which have thi's far evaded solution by jihvsicintis working tn private practice, says Dr. ('.. Betten Mas-.,.-,, who has long made a study of the mvs-te-ies of cancer. ... , , "The cause of cancer is uncertain, salt Dr. Massev. "nliheiigh it Is my personal be'.itf that it is some external living thing of protezoal tvpe which reaches us from nn external host, probably from an animal en which il is I'arasitical. The cause must be in n class bv Itself, if se. for protozoa that vv knew of' arc the causes of such diseases as malaria, vellew fever nnd probably tmnll tmnll jiex, nil of which are contagious diseases which is net true of cancer. "Malaria, vellew fever and smallpox nre general infections from the start, while run -cer-and let ui" emphasize this in posi tively known te be a local disease when it first nppetif-i in the human body and re mains n leV.il disease for sufficient time te admit of a cure in most cases, if people only knew it. Net Constitutional Disease "Seme physicians still regard" it ns a constitutional disease, but I believe that this is a mistake, though 1 nm net in possession of exact knowledge In the mntter. I think cancer grown something like the huge masses of cetlnrs one sees along the Perkiomen drive. The Miil is favorable for cedars, but only an ignorant jierseu would say that they grew there without sred. "Prebablv the difficulty in cancer is in mistaking njipmiirinte soil for npprejinate soil plus the germ, and this is a question which we hope that the (Jevernment can decide. New that the Agricultural Depart ment has successfully revealed the nature of euneer in the daisy plant, let us hope lint It will turn Its attention te the human body. "A favorable result of such an investiga tion weulil doubtless lend te prevention, v Im Ii U the main thing, and, secondly, te the tlevelejiinent of a cure in the nature of a vaccine or serum which might make It I'e sib'c for patients even In the advanced stages te be cured. Hut while we ate wait ing te lenrn the true mtnre of cancer, it si, .mid net be forgotten that cancer is new being etiieil daily if prepeily treated in its early stages. Cure Sometimes Cemes First ' The apparent anomaly of n cure being known before the true nature of the disease is fullv undetstoed is nothing unusual in medicine.

This is true te a greater extent in cancer than in almost any ether disease. Last year about 7,",000 persons in the prime of life died of cancer, many of whom jirehnbly might have ben saved b) early treatment. "Whnt needs te he done first of all is te attack the disease as seen as it makes its appearance and destroy il Until the prob preb em of the germ identification is solved, leading te prevention en the one hand nnd n possible cure of advanced enses en thp oilier, our dependence is en the destruction of the growth in the early stages before the daughter tumors nre formed from the origi nal or mother one. "Malignant growths, mere than ether dis. eases i. jiresent a certain time limit in their life history, during which they nre highly curable, nnd beyond this time limit treat ment is deploreblv different in results. The recognition of thtP time limit is, therefore, exceedingly important.

A Deadly Feature "Cancer has three periods, during the first of which it resembles in almost all respectR a benign growth, being neither painful, tender, ulcerated nor hemorrhagic. Since the general jaiblic believes that nothing is cancerous unless it presents some of these signs, it can readily be seen that relief is net likely te be sought during this period of the life history of the disease. These neg ative signs are most unfortunate in that the very absence of suffering or fear-producing effect ujien the patient is their dead liest tcuture. ;'.rr!'?r0 is m.cn.,7!' of S(,''-'l informa tion among the public as te this disease and these points should be generally undei steed : ( mieer is net hereditary ; it is net a constitutional disease; it is purely local when first acquired, and lu the early period may be templetely removed or destroyed. "During this period of curnbilitv it is net ender, iiainful, ulcerated nor does it bleed in I ii person vviie has a neu-jminful iimim- iiiiu eui-iy pniniuiness are strong indications that such n tumor is net cancerous."
