LAND UP $25 PER ACRE.
Live Stock Expert Estimates Value
of Rise in Hog Prices.
Ry the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press
CHICAGO, July 2s.-Exceptional
significance is attached to the up
ward course of hog values.
An advance of about So per cwt.
in hogs and 81 per cwt. in cattle" "
said Everett G. Brown, president of
the Chicago Live Stock Exchange,
means much to corn belt agricul-
ture. 1t has already stabilized farm
values and is thawing out frozen
farm credits. enabling banks to liq-
uidate paper that until recently was
not negotiable. 1t means much more
to the corn belt than the advance in
grain values. In my opinion its puts
acre on corn belt land.
since the advance began hogs
have appreciated about $500 per car
and cattle $3.50 to $3.50 per car. AS
cost of production and marketing is
fixed, this means net profit to pro-
ducers. 1t is not an ephemeral price
movement, but development of in
transic values, as both hogs and cat
tie have been selling below that
basis.
Thinks Advance to Remain.
This advance in the price of hogs
has. in my opinion, come to stay.
Decrease in production is estimated
by the Department of Agriculture at
20 per cent, compared with the last
- months, but a decrease of 10 per
cent viii maintain hogs on a parity
with corn, as domestic consumption
is enormous and Europe must buy a
large quantity of our meats and lard.
L doubt If we need more than a 10
per cent cut in hog production to put
the industry on a profitable basis. At
the present price of May corn hogs
will pay out at current prices, and
unless there are enough hogs to con-
sumo it, corn may not hold current
quotations.
Appreciation in cattle and hog
values at this juncture is changing
the agricultural prospect, validating
the advance in grains, thawing out
frozen credits, stabilizing land values.
and creating widespread rural conf
dence."

Doctors Hear Secrets

can Unitarian association and Of Harvard's great
president says:
THE province of the doctors profession has been
greatly wdened during the last decade. Many mental
and nervous troubles have been acknowledged to have
physical ruot-this leads TO the barring of mental and
spiritual anguish TO the physician in hope of relief
The real situation bit deeper than that, is that peo
pie attempting to obtain from the medical profession
something they get only from religion
THE World War. every physician has observed, has
made nervous maades the most common and alarm
ing of all human maades.
Doctors offices crowded with patients who, tho
nothing definitely can be found physically wrong with
them, are, nevertheless, sick people.
: Neurasyhenics and neurotics-a mighty crop Of them
have been created by the worry of days.
Some doctors attempt to find the roots of these maa-
diesn improper funconing of the thyroid adrenas and
other endoerue glands Others trace the maades to and
lose them in the nrcacies of psychoanaysis and psy
chatry.
The majority of these troubles are spiritual And the
only for them is STANDARDIZATION.
THE doctor hears strange confessions-domesc trou
bles, entanglements, business disappointments
causing melancholy broodings that undermine the health
The doctor learns the secret life Of his patients.
And, if he is wise physician, he comforts them spir
tualy in addition to prescribing toncs heart smuants
sedatves blood pressure reducers and other
dies.
But the doctors spiritual powers limited good
many people who think they need medicine really need
the solace and peace of religion
Humanity is more spiritually than physically diseased
