Haliff County Physicians
Make Standard Fees for
Practice in County

The Halifax County Medical
Society at its regular meeting in
Scotland Neck, June End, adopt
ed a standard fee system for
charges in the country. Many
physicians claimed that the fees
of1910and the high cost of living,
automobiles and gasoline of 1920
left the balance on wrong
side of the column. In
plain words the doctors
have to pay just as much for
what they get as anyone else and
very few doctors have anything
to sell.
Below is the list of charges
adopted for us by the physicians
in the county. 1t is made as rea-
sonable as possible. The physici-
ansonly want an honest living for
honest work. This will go into eff

SEEK PEACE IN TREATY
Three New Compromise Moves Now
Under Way in Senate

Three new treaty compromise
moves are in the making in the
Senate, where the best informed OBJ
servers now have given up hope that
the bipartisan conferences in Sena-

where.
This belief persisted today, in
spite of mysterious assurances by
Lodge that the conferees had agreed
on something" at yesterdays ses-
sion.
He would not divulge what the
agreement covers, but said it is not
article 10 or the Lenroot reservation
on voting power. This leaves the
Monroe Doctrine and Shantung, the
other chief points of controversy,
ard It was generally believed that if
anything was agreed on, it was
Shaniung.
Compromise moves which are to
he tried when the failure of the
I.oLge conferences has been demon
strated are:
/. Mild reservationists propose to
move that the treaty be called up in
the Senate, to give everybody who
has! reservations an opportunity to
offer then, in open session. This
would involve reopening the whole
treaty debate.
.. Senator Underwood announced
he VII seek vote on his resolution
for an official ccnciliation commit
tee stating that such, commit
tee could at least poll the Senate and
present conclusive evidence as to the
possibility. cf compromise.
If the poll showed no. compromise
possible, the Senate could then turn
in earnest to some other means of
bringing about. officially. state
of peace with Germany.
