He Aimed High

President Lincoln once had a sin
gular interview with a persevering
stranger. This was man who had
been noticed hanging about the White
House in Washington. Asked his
business, he said he wanted to see Mr..
Lincoln and was not going away until
he had seen him. Ultimately the
president granted the visitor an inter-
view.
"Say, Mr.. Lincoln" he began, "do
you want secretary of war? For if
you do, Pm your man"
The president informed him that at
that moment he was not in need of
such an article.
With that the stranger withdrew
but as he was leaving the room he
turned and said, "Say. Mr.. Lincoln,
have you such thing as pair of old
trousers"
After a hearty laugh Lincoln tod
his visitor he almost deserved the sec
retaryship: because" he added, "you
aim high"

10000 miles, produces practically
enough from her soil to feed her popu-
lation. Whereas Connecticut's pro-
duction of cereals and farinaceous
commodities is only three and half
per cent, round numbers, the produc-
ton in Denmark of like commodities
is nearly thirty-nine per cent. Con-
nectlcut produces annually four gal
Ions of milk per capita, whereas Den
mark produces 1856 gallons per capita
No wonder little Denmark can export
butter and cheese and is not compelled
to import any. In 1860. land devoted
to farms in Connecticut was 81 per
cent, in 1910 it was only II per cent.
Lands devoted to agriculture in Den
mark increased in the same time from
GA to "A per cent. The average size
of Denmark's farms is only 81 acres,
whereas the average size Of Connec-
ticut farms is approximately 80 acres.
Connecticut consumes of foodpro-
ducts $SO,OOO,OOO worth a wear, while
she produces less than $20O00,000
worth. The people of that state are
compelled, therefore, 20 pay S60,000.-
600 a year more for food than the
total value of her food products.
WI. ElllOLI put Ine statement IN
even more concrete and appreciabla
form when he said that every 10 years
there is enough land in Connecticut
going back to wild condition to sup
port, if properly farmed, the people
of any one of the three cities of the
state which have a population in ex-
cess of 100000. Furthermore. since
1850 enough land in Connecticut has
gone back to the uncultivated cOndi-
ton to support. if properly cultivated,
the present population of the state.
Only An Example.
OF course, President Elliott uses
the State of Connecticut only as
convenient example. What is true of
that state is true of every other state
Of this Union. American lands are
not producing what they might easily
produce were they properly cultivated,
and it is this falling off in supply
which in great measure, explains the
increased cost of food products. All
Of the railroad presidents, and espec-
tally Mr.. Elliott, are convinced that
greatly increased supply with conse-
quent low prices does not mean that
the cultivation of the soil would be
Improbable. With wise business me-
thods, with the thorough adoption of
the principle of cooperation, the cost
of producing these food commodities
would be greatly reduced, so that
there would remain a handsome mar
gin of profit even though the market
price of these commodities were also
greatly reduced.

based on medical, sanitary, moral and
economic reasons. He believes in it,

INTEREST RATES 7. !.
WILL INCREASE
Farm Mortgage Bankers Association
Is Told What To Expect At
End of War.
(By Associated Press. }

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 27.-Discuss-
ing the possibility Of an increase in
interest rates in the money market Of
the world after the European war,
Prof. o. M. Sprague, of Harvard Uni
versity, in an address here today, be-
fore the annual convention Of the
Farm Mortgage Bankers Association
Of America, outlined the reasons for
the general expectations of the in
creased rates. Among these factors
he mentioned the indebtedness Of the
belligerent countries, destruction Of
property and loss OF capital, a proba-
bly, decreased demand f,r capital, and
a likelihood Of heavy taxes to meet
the interest on government debts.
Prof. Sprague also touched on the
probable financial situation of the In
tied States and in the non-EuropeaE
countries.
'"The destruction Of European capi-
tai occasioned by the war will Of
course, tend to bring about an adj
vance in interest rates." said Prof.
Sprague, "but it is possible that this
tendency may be offset by some
shrinkage in The European demand for
capital. The mere fact that the total
Of capital after the war will be small
er than it would have been had there
been no war, is not sufficient in it.,elf
to bring about an advance ia interest
rates. There must be an intense do
mand for capital.
Conditions must be favorable for
the employment of, something like the
same amount Of capital as was being
used before the war began. That 20
much capital can be proitably used !
would seem improbable. There will
not be SO many people, especially
skilled workers, to make use Of It.
"Some Of the debts incurred by the
belligerent countries represent the
Of securities sold back 10
neutral countries. A part represents
savings which would have been invest
ed in industry had peace continued,
but which have gone into tn govern
ment loans. "a very large pDrt " ~

BIRTH CONTROL IS
NOT RACE SUICIDE
DR.. A. Adolphus Knopf Tells Ameri.
can Public Health Association
In Address.
(By Associated Press.

Cincinnati, Oct. 27. - "Judicious
birth control is not race suicide, but
race preservation" said DR.. S. Adolf
phus Knopf, Professor of Medicine at
the New York Post Graduate Medi-
cal School and Hospital, in an address
here today before the American Pub
lie Health Association. Vigorously
urging repeal of Federal. and State
laws prohibiting circulation of infor-
nation as to birth control, DR.. Knopf
pleaded for the establishment Of free
clinics directed by regular physicians
of high repute, paid by the city or
state, who would be competent to give
information as to birth limitations in
cases where they deemed such in
struction advisable.
At the conclusion of his paper DR..
Knopf gave the answers to a number
of letters of inquiry sent to leading
clergymen, jurors, sociologists and po-
litical economists and their opinions
were, he said unanimous with those
expressed by him.
DR.. Knopf pointed out that in the
majority Of cases the larger the fam
lily the more congested will be the
quarters they live in and the more un-
sanitary the environment.
"With the increase of the family"
"he said, "there is rarely, if ever, a
corresponding income, of the earn
ings of the fathGr or mother, and as
a result, malnutfition and insufficient
enter as factors to predis-
pose to tuberculosis and other diseas-
es. In larger families it is usually
the latter born who contract tuber-
culosis most frequently. Fifty thou
sand children die annually from tuber-
culosis in the United States and the
morbidity and mortality from this
disease is highest among the poor
where the number of children is great
est.
"The economic loss to families and
by the deaths Of wives
and children because of transmitted
infectious diseases, cardiac and renal
to which has been added
excessive child-bearing, goes into mil
ions. These vast sums and untold
physical sufferings could have been
saved by judicious birth control as ex-
,rcised in Holland, where since the es-
,ablishment of birth control clinics
he population has increased in physi-
,al stature and well-being. The av-
,rage birth rate in three principal
:ities Of Holland was 1877 per thous-
md in 1881 when birth control clinics
we're started. In 1912 it had fallen
% 25.3 per thousand. The general
leath rate, however, had dropped dur
ng the same period from 24.2 to Ill
Der thousand"
The records Of charity organiza-
ions prove that, as a rule, the larger
he families are that apply for relief, !
he greater is their distress, accord {
ng to DR.. Knopf. The larger the

The people of Mississippi will be
called upon on November 7th, the day
OF the National election, to vote upon
the now famous quart law, which lin
its liquor receipts to a quart every
fifteen days to each individual. The
law was passed by the last. Legisla-
ture. and went Immediately into ef-
feet.
A petition asking that it be SUBJ
mitted to vote of the people was filed
with the Secretary of State, who was
Immediately enjoined by the Prohibi-
tlonists from ordering the election.
The question was submitted to the
Supreme Court which body ruled that
an election could not be enjoined, and
directed that the Secretary of State
carry out the requests of the petition
for an election.
The law since coming into effect has
been recognized by. every one as the
best liquor regulation that has ever
been tried in Mississippi. The man
who desires to get more than his al
lotted amount Of booze and cannot do
SO admits by the impatience displayed
that the law really regulates the trsf-
nc. Friends Of the new law point out
with pride the decrease in every sort
of crime in the State as result Of
the enactment Of the law
Officers Of the law are in better po-
sltion to tell the actual effect of the
law upon crime than any others. With
a desire to reach some tangible evil
derce of its effect in Lefore county,
the county officials have been inter-
viewed upon the subject.
Hon. Means Johnston of Schlater,
county attorney, stated that he be-
lieved the quart lay the best liquor
regulation ever tried in this State.
Under the old gallon-a-day law, he

Crimes directly traceable to liquor
have decreased nearly rs per cent, Mr.
Johnston said. Prior to the new laws
taking effect the sheriff and his dep.
uties were often called upon to make
raids to break up fighting and shoot.
ing scrapes at negro entertainments
and the like, which were traceable di.
rectly to the effects Of whiskey. Not
a raid has been made since the new
law came into effect.
Mr.. Johnston state further that to
the best Of his knowledge no white
man in the county has been hurt by q
negro since the law took effect. Re-
cent trouble in the county in which q
crazed negro fired at some white peo-
pie was due to blind tiger whiskey
and cocaine, but the people fired upon
were not hit. That is the only case
where there has been trouble.
Speaking Of the personal liberty
phase Of the question Mr.. Johnston
explained that = drunken man has no
personal liberty. He said that citi-
zen of the State was free to do
anything that he pleased 50
long as he did not violate the laws Of
the State or do harm to his neighbor.
When drunk, harm to the neighbor
usually occurs.

MANY DIE FROM
CHILDBED FEVER
DR.. Grace Meigs Says Lack Of Skilled
Service Cause of High Death
Rate Among Women.
(By Associated Press }

Cincinnati, Oct. 27.-The deaths of
$4,000 women in this country in 1918
from conditions caused by childbirth
was the chief argument given by DR..
Grace Z. Meigs, Chief Of the Division
Of Hygiene of the Federal Children's
Bureau, in paper read today before
the American Public Health Associa-
tion, urging renewed efforts to con-
vince women and their husbands of
the need of skilled service for 'materni-
ty. Approximately 1000 of the total
loss Of life during childbirth was due
to childbed fever, she declared.
I'm 1918 the death rate per 100000
population from all conditions caused
by childbirth was but little lower than
that from typhoid fever" said DR..
Meigs, "and this rate would be almost
quadrupled if only the group of the
population which can be affected, wo-
men of childbearing age, are consid-
cred. In 1918 childbirth caused more
deaths among women 15 to44 years
years old than any other disease ex-
cept tuberculosis. Only two Of a |
group of fifteen important foreign |
countries show higher rates from this \
cause than the registration area of |
the United States.
1.-THE rates for two countries, Swe-
den and Norway, which are about one
half the rate for this area of the Un-
tied States, show that low rates are
attainable.
"The death rates from childbirth /
and from childbed fever for the reg
istration area of this country are not
falling; during the 13 years from 1900
to 1918 they have shown no demon
strable decrease.
I'm this country where the support
and success Of preventive health work
depends entirely on popular UNDER
standing and interest, one fundament-
81 problem is common to all commune
ties and states. This is the problem
Of how to bring about change in gen.
eral attitude Of mind Of the laity to-
wards the care Of maternity.
"This function has always been, and
still is, looked upon with mixture
Of ignorance and fatalism. On the one
hand people consider it essentially a
normal function. They are willing to
entrust its care to anyone, however
and are unwilling to pay ad-
equate sums for skilled care. It is true
that each year in a vast number Of
cases Of pregnacy and labor they are
perfectly normal. It is no less true
that each year in a certain and con-
slant percentage Of all cases pregnacy
and labor are not normal. While in
normal cases non-interference is with
out doubt the safest method Of treat
ment, in the abnormal cases Just as
high q grade Of skilled care is abso-
lutely essential as that required in
any major surgical emergency. On
the other hand strange to say, the
copplications caused by childbirth and
the deaths due to them are generally
looked upon with fatalisn,. It 10 not
recognized that they are to be in
cludsd among the diseases which arc
pstvsntsbls by modsya methods"
