Higher standards of nursing were
| discussed at the meeting Saturday

Hioher Standards Discussed.
The discussion of higher standards
of nursing by Miss Morse led to IN
open discussion of the establishment
! of colleges Of nursing in every state,
and the fact that legislation will be
asked which will further this idea.
Miss Yerkes who is from Iowa
CITY. said that the state university
was arranging to give such a course.
Des Moines is asking to have the
biennial convention of nurses there
in 1922 and asked for the support Of
the district organization. The meet
ing this year will be at Atlanta, Ga,
and prospects are that it will be one
of the most important and helpful Of
such meetings.
Discussion Of rank for nurses had
a place in the Saturday program,
also. This was a question which has
been brought UP from the participa-
ton of the army nurse corps in the
war activities.
Dinner in Evening".

che country decides in favor Of the
league. will the republicans OF the
Senate be justified in preventing ratl-
fication of the treaty further. as un-
doubtedIy they would be able to do
for il takes only one-third of the Sen
ate to prevent ratification, OF a treaty.
1t is very likely that in either event
some # the senator's would be round
voting against ratification OF the
treaty and against modification or
the Nolstead act But there seems
just as much reason to suppose; that
the Senate would be as responsive to the
will of the people in the one case as
in the other.
Even some of the dry" democrats
are figuring and hoping that GOV Cox
will receive the votes of the vets

Opposed Curtailing Liberty.
The democrats" said this senator.
have always been opposed to legis-
la ton that would curtail the personal
liberty of the people. 1t is reasonable
now to suppose that reaction against
the NolStead act will inure to the
benefit of the democratic ticket
Some of the forces in the demo
cratic convention in San Francisco
which put Gov. Cox across for the
nomination desired the Volstead act
modified. No less a democrat than
William jennings Bryan, the dryest of
the dry, made the charge in scath-
ing terms while the convention was in
full swing.
The problem which confronts the
democrats, therefore. is how to get
the wet vote, and at the same time
not to be forced in the position of
running on a wet" platform. The
situation has many interesting pos
sibilities.
At Anti-Saloon League headquarters
here today it was said that undoubt-
eddy the New York branch of the
league would be left to deal with the
situation which has arisen by reason
of the action of the democratic state
convention The wet and dry issue
is considerably mixed in New York.

SOUTH CAROLINA LEADS

South Carolina leads all other
States in increased value per head OF
milch cows and other cattle during
the past five years, according to a
report recently issued by B. B. Hare,
Field Agent of the Bureau of Crop
Estimates, United States Department
of Agriculture. The report shows an
increase of approximately per cent
lin the number of milch COWS on
January l, 1920, over that of Janu-
ary 1, 1919 with 2 per cent increase
lin number of other cattle, 8 per cent
in swine, 8 per cent in mules, and a
decrease of 7 per cent in number of
sheep.
1t is interest to note that in so
far as the report relates to increase
in number and value per head of
milch COWS, other cattle, and swine,
South Carolina for the last five
years has maintained an increase,
which is in many respects, far in the
United States increased II per cent.
In the meantime, there was an in
creased value per head of SO per
cent in the United States and LAG
per cent in South Carolina. During
the same period the increase in num-
ber of other cattle in the United
States was 1877 per cent, while an in
creased value per head of 20 per
cent, while in South Carolina the in
crease was 1873 per cent and 197 per
cent respectively. The increase in
number of swine for the United
States during the period noted was
III per cent, with an increased value
per head of 126 per cent, whereas
the report shows for South Carolina
18 per cent increase in number and
153 per cent increase in value per
head.
Of course, prices and value of all
live stock have responded to increas-
ed prices of other farm products
brought about by war conditions for
the last three or four years, but it is
the opinion of the Field Agent that
the marked increase in value per
head of milch cows, other cattle and
swine in this State reflects to a
large extent the efforts of the Ex-
tension Department in the various
counties and especially the bringing
into the State in increasing numbers
during the past few years high grade
pure bred cattle both of the dairy and
beef types, as well as pure bred
wine of various types.
