DOCTORS DISCUSS
BOOZE PRESCRIPTIONS

Lexington, KY, Sept. 30.-Resolu-
tons condemning all physicians who
give whisky prescriptions to persons
who are not sick and for the sake of
money only, pledging support of the
Kentucky Medical Association in the
prosecutions of such physicians and
recommending to the State Board of
Health revocation of license We're
adopted at meeting of the house of
delegates of the association here last
night.
The recommendation of the COM
mittee provoked much discussion and
many open views were expressed
during the progress of the meeting of
the question of alcohol as a medicine
narcotic and the right of doctors to
issue prescriptions in cases thought
justifiel.
1t was the general opinion as ex-
pressed in the speeches that the as
sociaton would not SUPPORT any law
that limited the right of physicians
to prescribe alcohol, but many said
that they never gave such prescrip-
tions, and would not under any condi-
tions, and condemned the practice of
indiscriminate issuance of whisky
prescriptions.
Several openly confessed to giving
prescriptions in cases where such ac-
ton was thought proper. No adverse
comment was made on such action.

In Arrest of Heckler of Harding
p Oppression of inquiries Pre-

.,eBy Associated Press)

| IlulO1llSO1l, NdllSdS, OCPl' CO--
Kansas today continued to be the
campaigning ground OF Governor
Cox, with the League OF Nations
the foremost battle slogan. His
addresses tday include Hutchi-
son, Newton and Wichita.
In his address here, Gov. Cox
said he'would have voted dry on
prohibition had he been acting un-
der the same circumstances as
Harding who, the Governor de-
clared, voted 81 times wet and
two times dry.
He also recommended the fed
eral budget system and asserted
that war taxes, especially the ex-
cess profits tax, is responsible for
the high cost of living. In place
of the excess profits tax, he re-
commended a tax of from one to
one and ne half per cent on the
volume of; business as a going
concern.
Topeka, Kan, Sept. 30-Pro.
testing against the tactics Of the
Cossacks at political meetings,
said to be cxemplified in the ar
rest Of a Washington attorney
for having questioned Senator
Warren G.. Harding at Baltimore
concerning a campaign issue, and
"a demand for the production of
the letter written by that candi-
date to Senator Hiram w. Joh hn-
son, of California, assuring him Of
his absolute opposition to the
League of Nations, were the out
standing features of the tour of
Gov. Cox, from Omaha through
Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri to
this city.
Hitherto the Democratic NOM
lnee has contented himself with
inquiry concerning this co1n1nuni-
catin, leaving doubt as TO its ex-
istence, but at St. Joseph, he filed
a specific claim for its production
as part of the proper records OF
the presidential contest.
He prefaccd it with the utter
ance that Senator Johnson and
William Howard Taft, represent
ing extremes upon this question,
might be fooled by the republican
candidate, but that he did not pro-
pose that the American public
should be fooled
81 desire the letter to be made
public" he cried.
Reference to the arrest and in
carceration of Edward A. Ryan,
the attorney who heckled Hard
ing, was made in a general attack
upon what the Governor. declared
to be policy of repression and
suppression on the part of reac-
tionary leaders.
Included in it also was :-efer-
ence to the purchase of Democra-
tic newspapers throughout the
country and the changing of their
political complexions.
The fact that L. w. Henley, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Republi-
can National Committee, and per
sonal representative of Chairman
Will II. Hays, was travelling
ahead of the Democratic nominee
as an advance agent, arranging
for exactly the heckling treat
1nent that Senator Harding term
ed d1scourteous, was quoted as an
illustration. Of this disavowa1.
of responsibility for the arrest,
the Governor said:
Nevertheless the fact remains
that Senator Harding told the au-
dience, in plain words, that he
considered the interruption dis
courteous, whereupon the man
was taken to prison.
Almost precisely similar in
stance in his own campaign, that
took place at St. Paul, was quoted

Accounts Aid in Buying and Selling.
Every farmer is buyer and seller
as well as producer. He must know
the condition of his business If he is
to buy and sell successfully. 1t Is for
each farmer to decide how extensive
a set of accounts he wants to keep.
The fact about which he should have
no doubt is the value and necessity OF
at least a simple accounting system.
The old adages quoted above are con-
sidered very much in point by farm
management officials. Figures they
say, do not lie regarding farming any
more than regarding other subjects.
A few minutes daily calculation may
save hours of needless toll, which is
another way of saying "a stitch in
time saves nine" Farm accounting
gives the farmer foresight which
everybody recognizes as better than
hindsight. Finally, it does pay to
"count the cost" for farming by rule

lete.

INCREASE IN VALUE
OF FARM PLOW LANDS
Something Occurred That May
Be Called Phenomenon.
Least Rates of Advance Are Found In
New England and Middle Atlantic
States--upward Movement
IN Corn Belt.

When farm plow lands increase in
value per acre by one-fifth in one year
and by one-half in four years, some
thing has occurred that may be called
a phenomenon" These increases in
value are indicated by the results Of
investigations by the bureau Of crop
estimates. In March, 1916, pillow lands
in the United States had the average
value of $3.50; in the same month in
1917 the average was $62.17; In 1918
it was S68.3S; in 1919, S7431; and at
the same time of the year in 1920,
S9001, building values in all years not
being included in the average.
The average value of 1920 is 81 per
cent above that of 1916, 45 per cent
above 1917, 80 per cent above 1913,
and 81 per cent above 1919. Hence it
appears that by far the greatest rate
of yearly increase was from 1919 to
1920. To the extent that plow-land
values are related to crop prices, this
lag in the advance of land values be-
hind the advance in crop prices is &C
cording to rule.
Values approximately doubled in the
South in four years, and that is part
Of the country where plow lands have
low values. They are overtaking the
higher values of other states. The
least rates of advance in values are
found in the New England and Middle
Atlantic states. In the corn belt,
where values are highest, the upward
movement is strong.
