But there's more to the story. TWO
days later' there came to the elentist's
officse a telephOrie 1i ffie i ' River
Doone. "Got another brglten leg Out
here. Another. ° g -year-old. t'rin:ee
Kiev.. Want to do anything about it?"
The dentist got his wife en the .Phone.
"Sure. If we've got one _we m9ght as
well have two." Before sundayill.
Prince Kiev was delivered at the
stable where already Prince Pine was
pawing the floor with has plastered
hoof. And what's - happened. to Prince
Kiev? He was away the dayk I dirop-
pest! in•. being galloped and' breezed,
getting ready to .run at Latonia_
It will already have occurred to
you that perhaps the 'beat part of the
story is not what this did for -the two
horses, but what it did' for Dentist
Peter . Wehner and his wife. When'
in that borrowed stable they worked
out the problem of saving those hors-
es they were just city folks -be with
an office Thigh in a skyscraper. They
didn't even have a dog. And here
they were, to their great surprise, the
owners of two damaged thorough
brete.
'What todo next? They must get
a Piece of land to put their horses
on. So they drove across into Ken-
tucky and at • Verona bought a hun-
dred acres that were being sold for
taxes. On them still stood a fine old
tobacco barn. I was in that barn and
I don't think I'veever been in a
pleasanter .place. The walls ivory
yellow in the afternoon' sunlight. Tbe
18 stalls all full and more to come.
The air sweet with the smell of fod-
der. New colts, frisky but each a bit
wobbly on his pins and locking -ra-
ther like -a child's drawing of a gir
affe, one of them Prince Pine's latest
achievement; still unnamed.
"Say, it aright not be a bad idea
to call him Wisdom Tooth, eh, doc?"
I proposed:
And my prophetic ears seems to
catch my own voice in the spring of
'39: "A hundred bucks on Wisdom
Tooth in the fourth. ' To place? To
show? No. A hundred bucks. On
the nose."
This story begins on Labor Day,
1934, during the Gibson Handicap at
River Dowelee a race track 12 'miles
from Cincinnati. The favorite in the
race was Prince Pine, a spirited two-
year-old who had .already broken one
record and was s.11 set to be a favor-'
ite in the Kentucky Derby the follow*
lag spring. That afternoon he was
easily winning his race whew he
stumbled and broke his left foreleg.
The lower part of it hung limp as an
armless' sleeve.
Now the vets know only one way
to set a horse's leg. If the plaster
cast is not to slip or chip, the wretch-
ed creature must be trussed up in a
canvas sling for two or three weeks
to keep its weight off the ground. But
this method puts such pressure on
the horse's belly that. it wrecks its
lungs and liver, and long before the
bone can set, the patient usually dies
of 'pneumonia. Sometimes a farm
horse survives, . but never the high-
strung racehorse. So at the tracks,
even when a horse is beyond•price for
breeding purposes, the moment a leg
is broken the order is to shoot.
Therefore at River Downs that day
tradition had a bullet with Prince
Pine's name on it. But something de--'
netted that bullet. Recently 1 saw
Prince Pine tearing about a meadow,
in a state of almost unbearable exub-
erance, nothing at all the matter with
that. left foreleg.
Prince Pine owes his present well-
being to• the blessed ohance that a-
mong the spectators in the grand-
stand that September day were a Cin-
cinnati dentist and his wife. When
the disaster happened, the dentist's
wife obeyed an impulse. Down out of
the grandstand, under the rail, across
the track she ran; calling Out, "You
must not shoot him!" At the mom-
ent she knew only that to kill that
laeautiful creature would be a stupill
crime. The dentist, following' in her
wake, supported her. But the vets all
s /'geed, that Prince Pine didn't have •a
chance, and the track authorities said
they couldn't have a bunged -up horse
en their hands, At last the trainer
told the deitist he could do what he
'Biked, and half an hour later these
two impractical people from Cincin-
nati found themselves in charge of a
truck into which they •hoisted the
napless two-year-old.
As a first move the dentist .got per
mission to carry the wounded hero to
a stable owned by one of ihis patients.
'Then he brought down the X-ray ala -
chine from his office and tackled the
preblexn. Necessity gave birth to an
'invention. The dentist set that fore-
leg and put a east on it. But he made
the cast of something wihich had nev-
or before been used for such a pur-
pose. Made it out of some stuff in
'his own office. The stuff called den-
tal
ennal stone. The plaster out of which
non 15 years dentists have been fash-

The conductor was fed up: Penpl'
kept asking him ridiculous questions.
Finally, a sour -faced woman said:
"Conductor, can you give me two
nickels` for a dime?"
' "Of course," said the conductor.
"Amy particular dates you'd like?"
Sugar Beet Crop
The commercial sugar beet crop of
Southwestern Ontario, although seed-
ed late, developed very rapidly and
the operation of blocking and thin-
ning was practically completed by the
end' of June. The heavy rainfall and
favorable growing weather of late
May and alt through June brought'the
malor portion of thefields to the
thinning stage at the same time, and
•caused great pressure on the labour
supply. . This 'situation was aggravat-
ed by eumerous hold-ups in the work
owing' to the wet condition of the
fields. Nine separate rainfallswere
rec•nrded at Chatham during June,
totalling 4.7 inches. or double the av-
• rage amount for June.
' As is usual with spring seasons of
.too heavy rainfall, some trouble has
developed from blackroot and insect
pests. Weeds have grown rapidly
and without the usual check provided
by frequent cultivation: Notwith-
standing, the difficulties experienced
this spring, ihowever, the . thinned
fields generally show excellent stands
and give promise of a good crop. The
commercial acreage will be some-
what less than. the 30,000 acres plan-
ned, as frequent rains prevented some
,fanners from' •seeding the full acre-
age for which they had contracted.

',EARLY SIGNS OF CANCER CALL
FOR PROMPT ATTENTION .
If any sign of cancer is found, the
family doctor should at once be con-
sulted. At this period in the 'history
.of a cancer, .the family doctor is the -
hest counsellor, particularly if he is
alert to his resp'oneeibility. I e knows
the history of the family;, he may
know a couple of generations of the
family. Often he knows the patient
from birth. In such cases the family
aloetor must employ all the resources
at his command in the making of an
accurate diagnosis. The task will not
•.hvays be an easy one.
But the doctor has, ' in addition to
.his acquired knowledge, other aids in.
•ddiagnosis which he will apply to a so-
lution of the problem. Aanong these
are, in suitable cases, the X-ray, the
test -meal, 'transillumination and the
lniscroscope, He may if necessary
-'stave the advice of a colleague. The
,question does not admit of delay; it

must be settled as rapidly as pos-
sible, for what the patient suspicious
of, cancer, brings to the doctor is
either a cancer or it is not a cancer.
How important in the interest of
the patient are these early signs! The
very existence of a man or woman
may depend upon their early recogni-
tion. Many of them may readily be
recognized by almost any intelligent
person. Keep your eyes open for ir-
regular bleedings, unhealing sores,
lumps anywhere in the body, chronic
hoarseness, disorders of r•'geetion or.
change of bowel habits i,' ='•one. of
35 years and upwards.
One sees these signs every day.
Perhaps the commonest are the eo-
called 'unhealing sores, sores that fail
to heal. They appear as brown, yel-
low or dark -looking scabs on the face
or hands. Underneath the scab is an
unhealedsore. '15hey are seen as -
scabs oil the lip which may exist for
Weeks, even months without showing
any signs' of treating. Originally they
are not Cancers but if neglected' they
are sure to become cancerous. Bleed-
ings of an irregular character, lumps
chronic ,hoarseness, disorders of diges-
tion and change in bbwel habits may'
be recognized by almost any observ-
ant person, .

"Try Courtesy"
Means
"Give a Hand'-
Pibtured to the rigbt are the stan-
dard methods recommended by the
Ontario Department of Highways for
giving proper hand and arm signals:
Hon. T. B. McQuesten, Minister of
Highways, in the course of his "Try
Courtesy" campaign to reduce street
and highway traffic accidents, urges
all Ontario motorists to demonstrate
safe and sane driving methods by
courteously "giving one another a
hand."
Whenever the signal is given by
means of the hand and- arm, the bode- 1
trin states, the drivershould indicate
his intention to stop or change direc-
tion by extending his hand and arm,
front and beyond the left side of the
vehicle.
In making a left turn, the driver
should signal_ bis intention to turn by
extending his left arm straight out,
then draw as close to the centre Iine
of the street or highway as possible.
and turn on a point in the centre of
the road which he is entering.
The right turn is properly made by
signalling intention to turn and keep-
ing close to the right hand curb line
while doing so. Two methods may
be used to give the signal—either by
extending the left arm upwards or by
waving the left band in a clockwise
motion, which simultaneously Indi-
cates a turn, to the right and signals
the driver beihend that it is safe to
pass on the' left side.
"Stop" or "slow" is indicated by
extending the left arm downwards,
and care stolid be taken, when ap-
proaching an intersection, to slow
down several yards, rather than a
few feet, from the crossing.
