The work of the convention will be discussed and action on ways and means to carry out the Tollowing four major subjects: (1) The emphasis and intensification of service on be half of under-privileged children. (2) The development of better rela tions between the farmer and the city man. (3) The aggressive develop ment of a cooperative spirit towards the chambers of commerce and the co-ordination of activities. (4) The fostering of a fuller realization of the responsibilities of patriotic citizen ship. Reports from the various interna tional committees will deal with the various phases of these subjects and will include action on the recommen dations that the Kiwanis club inter national favor the budget system of adminisration in government affairs, favor the tax reduction program in muncipal, state and federal govern ment, favor the reduction in money costs of government and in the num ber of persons employed. The report of the Canadian section of the inter national committee on public affairs will deal with the recommendation that the Kiwanis clubs of Canada fa vor universal peace as a policy. The general public affairs report to be presented will call for greater aug mentation of moral and spiritual thought in community life. The general report will further rec ommend that the international organ ization be represented at the Na tional Motion Picture conference and at the world conference for the sup pression of the narcotic evil. The re port will call the attention of the con vention to, the approval given to the bill now pending in United States congress, calling for the segregation of the sexes in federal prisons, and will outline the relief given to Japan through the Red Cross in response to the call of President Coolidge.

The average productive labor hour on the farm is worth about 40 cents. To make every one of these 40 cent hours productive of its share of profit, it is necessary to reduce non productive labor to the minimum, and in farming as in manufacturing it has been found that the best way to do this is to use labor saving ma chinery. The small electric light and power plants now in use on so many farms accomplish a lot of this labor saving. Grindstones, fannning mills and many other light power appli ances in the barn which used to re quire the time of two men are now turned by electricity. In the house the pumping, churning, separating, sweeping, washing and ironing all done by electricity, relieving the farmer’s wife of agreat part of the burdens which have made her life a hard one. And of course electric light itself makes the farm home a bright and cheerful place to live. Where electricity serves the farm family we find the best of living conditions, and we find too, that* ev every member of the family makes each hour of labor pay a profit. PLANS TO OPPOSE HARRIS AND WALKER Atlanta, Ga., June 10.—Determined efforts to enter strong candidates in Georgia primaries this fall for the of fices of United States senator and governor became evident Monday when dispatches from Washington disclosed that Georgians now residing there had received copies of letters written by Fortner Governor Thomas W. Hardwick asking political leaders in all parts of the state to wire him their preference out of a list of names submitted as possible candidates. Mr. Hardwick, urging opposition to the incumbents, r U. S. Senator Wil liam J. Harris and Governor Clifford Walker, says “it is certain both of them will have' vigorous opposition.” He added that he did not wish to be a candidate for either place and would consent to run only if necessary to make a vigorous campaign with some prospect of a successful outcome. . Name* Suggested. Names suggested by the former governor to oppose Senator Harris are Justice R. B. Russell, chief justice of the Georgia supreme court, and Reu ben R. Arnold, prominent Atlanta at torney; As possible opponents for the governor he lists Judge J. J. Flynt, George H. Carswell, Dr. L. G. Hardman, H. Elders, J. Render Terrell and Jesse Mercer. Asked if he contemplated making the race for the senate, Justice Rug sell Monday stated that he would not make his final decision for some time yet. All he desites, according to Jus tice Russell, is that some strong can didate enter the race who is opposed to the policies of Senator Harris. “I want to see a candidate who will of fer Georgians, who think as I do on finance and international relations— 1 diametrically opposed to the position of Senator Harris—an opportunity to vote for their beliefs," said Justice' Russell. , | If some other strong candidate | should offer on the same platform, Justice Russell would not run. There- I fore he is waiting until the last mo ment, he says, in the hope that by an other making the race he will be re lieved of what h« sees as a duty, but not one that he le anxious to meet. In any event-, .Justice Russell made it plain, if he does make the race it will be absolutey without any affilia tions with any faction, organization or political group. Arnold Will Not Run. “I wouldn't have the job of United States senator if it were offered me,” said Mr. Arnold Monday night when informed his name had been suggest ed for the place by former Governor Hardwick. Governor’s Sitaation. Of the proposed candidates for the governorship, one at least is already definitely in the race. Herschel H. El ders, of Reidsville, representative in the Georgia legislature from Tattnall county, formally announced his can didacy several weeks ago. George H. Carswell, of Irwinton, president of the state senate, has been mentioned as a candidate, but no def inite announcement has yet come from him. Dr. Hardman, of Com merce, while he has not made any announcement, also has been freely mentioned as a possible candidate. Governoro >.alker had little to say Monday when informed of the oppos ition to his candidacy for reelectipn, other than to repeat the attitude he las taken ever since it became known that he would seek a second term. He feels that he has received ample assurance from all parts of the state of support to make his success in the coming primaries a reasonable sup position and he will go to the voters asking indorsement of a second term with confidence in his record. He de clares that what the state needs is a cessation of politics and a quiet de votion to the best interests of the ag ricultural workers of the state and of the business interests.

Declaring that Georgia was “The Empire State of the South” in name only and would not come into her own as such until she had dveloped her latent resources and built throughout the state a system of roads connecting every county and town, Hon. •C. W. McClure, well known business man and capitalist, of Atlanta, addressed the Hartwell Kiwanis club, says a dispatch received here. Mr. McClure is in no way connect ed with the state highway depart ment, but as a leading figure in Geor gia’s business circles, is making speeches in various parts of the state boosting a bond issue for the con struction of roads, purely from an economic standpoint. “Georgia can vote 170,000,600 for roads, build them and enjoy them now —and pay for them with tag tax and gasoline tax in twenty-nine years,” he said . The legislature, which meets the latter part of this month, will be asked to pass on the proposition of submitting to the people an amend ment to the constitution allowing the issuance of bonds. The Knwanis club of Georgia, of which Mr. McClure has been made state treasurer, are back of the move ment to issue bonds to improve state highways. Railway Improvements Cost Bidiom. The expenditures made by Ameri can railroads last year for improve-' meats amounted to more than one bil lion dollars, according to railway ex ecutives who were today analyzing he latest figures on railroad opera tion. Every railroad is required to keep its accounts in accordance with cer tain restrictions prescribed by the in terstate commerce commission, which other enterprises almost entirely es cape, these regulations making it im possible to conceal earnings by in vesting them in new equipment or betterments, as pointed out by the ex ecutives. And as to future requirements for transportation needs, Atlanta execu tives say, careful estimates place the funds the roads of this country must find in the next ten years if they are in a position to handle all the traffic that may reasonably be expected at ny where from 1750,000,000 to sl,- 000,000,000, these figures not includ ing expenditures for such improve ments as elimination of grade cross ings, automatic train control and the like, all demanded by the public. The stronger roads may be able to keep step with the demand for equip ment, according to Atlanta railway executives, and that is questionable, but the little ones will have a hard time.
