Medics and Advertising.

There was a report a few days
ago to the effect that the medics
might revise their ethics in the near
future To the present, it is consid-
cred unethical for a physician to adj
vertise in newspaper and to pay
for such advertising. He realizes
that advertising is the very life of
business. and that he must advertise
in order that he may live. His title
is nothing more nor less than an ad-
vertisement, which costs him moth
ing. He is pretty sure to warn the
press that his name is not to be men
toned in connection with profession
al business unless it be something of
a sensational nature. But where his
name appears in print in any other
connection, he is sure to insist upon
having the DR.. or NJ. D. added. Yet,
if the paper were to print something
about John Smith, Grocer" or bill
Jones, Butcher" payment would
probably be demanded and the grocer
or butcher would be glad to pay.
There was time when people
knew little or nothing about adver-
Using and in those remote days, the
medical men must have framed their
code of ethics. They object to adver-
Using in a newspaper. Yet they find
that there is nothing improper in a
sign, which hangs in front of their
office. Is there any difference be-
tween the sign and the advertisement
except that the advertisement travels
far and wide The paper takes the
sign to many thousands, while the
sign post conveys the intelligence
only to those who happen to pass
that way.
There may have been time when
the medical ethics concerning adver-
Using were perfectly proper. But that
was long before the dawn of the
twentieth century. The medical man,
with all the rest of those who know
something, who can do something,
who can be of use or value in the
world, are enj0ined not to put their
light under a bushel.
1t is indeed high time that the
medics were providing themselves
with a new code of ethics -Burling-
ton Hawkeye.

Sheep Raising Can BE Made Profit
able.

The consumption of mutton per
capita in the United States is in
creasing every year, though the
amount used is much less in pro-
portion to other meat than in Eu-
rope. There are good reasons for ex-
pecting a continuation of good prices
for mutton and lamb, and the de-
mand for wool also may be expected
to increase more rapidly than the
production. These facts are brought
out in a recent letter from spec
ialist Of the department to south
ern farmer who inquired regarding
the possibilities of the sheep bust
ness.
The departments specialist called
attention to the fact that while farm
raised sheep have often not been pro-
fitable, this has usually been because
of lack Of proper attention and
management Variations in price of
wool and mutton have stood in the
way of such general interest in sheep
as would cause them to be regarded
as highly as they should be in the
future. Ranges all over the world are
now carrying about as many sheep
as they can support under a strict
system, and an increase in the pro-
duction of sheep products must come
mainly from farms. Here then, is
the farmers opportunity to take ad
vantage of the increased consump-
ton of these products.
While mutton can be produced at
low cost and there is a~growing de-
mand for it, difficulty in selling may
be experienced in sections where the
80 live ctr
not been sufficient to make it worth
while for regular buyers to operate.
Strengthening plants that handle car
loads are within reach of all sections,
and if sufficient number of neigh
bors combine to have 100 lambs of
similar breeding, size, and condition
to ship jointly the returns are as
sured. 1t will also be possible to Sc
cure visits and bids from buyers when
such number is promised. The lamb
clubs of Tennessee, notably the one
at Goodlettsville, have proven very
successful in this work.
The same organization can also be
used in disposing of the wool.
In countries where economy in
farm management has been studied
a long time, the sheep is considered
to be necessary in utilizing vegeta-
|tion on such waste lands as are not
wet or marshy. But the sheep can
holds it's place on high priced land as
a meat producer alone. Compared
with larger animals it has some i'm
portant advantages. First, the lambs
mature very rapidly, being market
able at four months of age or later
according to breeding and feeding.
This is an economy because larger
proportion of the total feed goes in
to increase of weight than in slower |
growing animals. Second, the sheep |
consumes a greater variety of plants !
than do other animals. Many of !
such plants are detrimental to pas
lures and would otherwise require
hand labor to hold them in check.
Third, grain waste in harvesting can
be entirely recovered by sheep. These
facts prompt some farmers to claim
that the summer food of sheep costs
because what they consume
would otherwise bring no returns

SHOOTS RETREATNG NEGRO.
Greenwood Negroes Have Difficulty
Over q Woman.

George Lark, a negro Of Green
wood county, shot and killed Joe Mat
thews near Greenwood Sunday. Lark
shot Matthews in the back Of the
! head while the latter was attempting
to get away. After killing Matthews
instantly it is said that Lark fired at
his own son. This killing was the
aftermath of dance, which, accord
ing to report, was one Of many dances
held in that section Of the county
every Saturday night by negroes
Only two negro women came to this
one and Lark decided, it is charged,
to make merry with a quart Of Whls-
key.
After getting under the influence
of the liquor he is said to have ex'
claimed: "Who said I won't shoot,
and fourished large pistol. He re-
peated this statement several times,
according to the evidence, and then
Matthews went forward and express
ed doubt as to Lark's intentions,
whereupon Lark again whipped out
his pistol and drew it on Matthews
Frightened at Lark's threatening at
titude Matthews ran away and Lark
fired at him three times, hitting him
twice in the arm and once in the
head.

Tragedy Occurs at Hot Supper over

|. Ernest Robertson, negro, was
shot and instantly killed by Arthur
Mayer, another negro. at negro not

fifteen miles. from Lexington, in the
Dutch Form section Of that county,
about - o'clock Saturday night. Ac-
cording to evidence adduced at the
hearing, Robertson was raising a
trough house" in general. 1t was
alleged that he mad attempted an as
sault upon a negro woman previous
to his having been killed. The wo-
man struck Robertson in the head
with a rock, causing an ugly wound.
Robertson then followed the woman
into the church and there proceeded
to continue his rowdyism, 1t is claim
ed.
An effort was made to eject him,
according to witnesses, without avail,
Arthur Mayer rushed in, and, it Is
said, drew his pistol and fired three
shots, two of which took effect in the
body. So close was the range at
which the shots we're fired that the
clothes of the dead man were set on
fire and had to be put out by those
who came to him after he had fallen.

SWEPT BY FLAMES.
New York Apartment House Fire Re
suits in Eleven Deaths.


Flames that swept through a five
story apartment house at New York
Friday claimed II victims and re-
suited in the serious injury Of four
others. Ten bodies were taken from
the theatrical boarding house that
occupied half Of the building. Only
four could be identified, the others
being charred beyond recognition.
The first started in pile Of waste
In the basemen Of five and ten cent
store which occupied the ground floor
Of the building, spread rapidly up the
stairways, shutting of egress by
them. There were no fire escapes IN
the front of the building and the
large number of dead and injured
was due to the refusal Of the panic
stricken people to remain in the front
windows where many were rescued by
fremen. All Of the dead and injured
were taken from the rear rooms and
halls where they were caught while
attempting to reach the roof and fire
escapes.
One man was killed in trying to
escape over roofs. In the hour the
flames ragged many thrilling rescues
were made by fremen working from
ladders in front and from windows Of
g nearby tenement building. Captain
Smith, who was suspended by his
feet from a window, prevented Louis
ROWLAND from being dashed to death
when ladder broke on which he was
crawling from the burning tenement.
CAPTAIN Smith seized Boyland and
held on to him until both could be
dragged to safety.
