i HE FARMING SITUATION
Though the situation of the farm
er' - if far from ideal, the average
condition of the American farmer has
improved nearly 10 per cent during
the past year.
The revised estimates of the de
partment of agriculture show that
1923 crops had a total value of about
(ten billions of dollars, an increase of
more than a billion in one year.
Total value of exports of principal
agricultural products from United
States for eight months ended Febru
ary 29, 19214, was $1,308,338,000, as
compared wish $1,233,710,0(K) for the
same periotf during preceding year,
an increase of 6 per cent.
In a recent statement, the depart
ment of agriculture says: “The gen
eral agricultural outlook for 1924 in
dicates that farmers are undertaking
a normal production program. It is
apparent, however, that agricultural
production this year will still be at
tended by difficulties arising from
high wages and other costs.
“Domestic demand for agricultural
products is at a high level. Foreign
markets, on the whole, seem likely tc
maintain about the present level of
demand. 1 ' ■ 1 ,
FRANKLY FOR THE LEAGUE.
Not only democrats but thousands
of republicans throughout the nation
expect the national convention in New
York to step * forward bravely as
champion of American membership in
the league of nations. There is a
great hunger throughout the country
for a frank, enthusiastic avowal of an
aggressive foreign policy.
Such a declaration is not only right,
but it is politically wise. No pnrty
-can get into power or remain there
that does not stand for an ideal. It
does not deserve to be in power
.either.
Under the leadership of Woodrow
Wilson, the democratic party set be
.fore the nation and the world the ideal
of service to mankind. With the
problems created by the world war it
allied itself with the great moral
principle of world peace. Its courage
and its unwavering devotion to this
cause has won it respect and support
from American citizens. It stands to
day as the apostle of peace and as the
advocate of American service to man
kind throughout the world.
That sort of creed attracts as it de
serves to attract. The feeling that
America should take a hand in avert
ing war and preserving peace is
growing with amazing speed. It is
strong enough to have persuaded
President Coolidge to concede that the
Unted States ought to be in the league
of nations world court, but outside the
Teague of nations. For a party to
take such a position is either coward
ice or hypocrisy. What the Ameri
can people want i 3 candor in this mat
ter and a party that is ready to as
sume its obligations in the world.
In the minds of many persons there
is small difference between a demo
cratic and republican platform. There
are many points on which they seem
to agree. By standing definitely for
such an ideal as the league of na
tions, the democratic party can em
phasize the difference and proclaim its
ideal of peace and thus bring to its
support the great masses of American
men and women who hold such views.
The duty of the national convention
in this matter is clear. Its oppor
tunity is irresistible. Its obligation is
unavoidable. The memory of Wood
row Wilson and the imperishable
cause he led so valiantly alike call
upon his party to maintain the high
level of public service.
A BATHROOM FOR THE FARM.
In no way is electricity serving
the farm family better than in mak
bath room.
The small electric light and pow
er plants now in use on so many
farms all over the country furnish
plenty of power for the operation of |
electric pumping systems.
Once installed, the pump, driven
by an electric motor and controlled
by a pressure switch, keeps water un
der pressure at faucets ail over the
house. The water service thus ob
tained is in result the same as that
enjoyed ir. the city.
Many farms that have electricity,
consider the bath room the best ser
vice electricity has given them, but
there are, of course, many other
reasohs for the increasing populari
ty of electricity on the farm. It
gives the best of light in all parts
of the “house and barn, it does all
such cKJlfes k(> pumping, milking,
%ep*r*t!ng ah#'Sweeping, and in do
ing these things is lightens the la

SOUTH STILL NEEDS
BUILDINGS GALORE
Atlanta, Ga., June 20. —While the
building shortage in some sections of
the country appears to have been
practically met by the great building
program of the last year or so, it is
not the ease in many sections of the
south where building construction is
still going forward at record rates,
according to Hentz, Reid and Adler,
nationally known architects of At
lanta.
A study of conditions over the
south, in which the Atlanta architects
are designing many structures, indi
cate, it was stated, that this great
constructive program is not being
carried out blindly, but in response to
actual needs. Despite the huge total
of building in the south in the last
three years, it was pointed out, rents
are stationary in all larger centers
and the demand excellent.
The higher standard of living which
the new era has brought to the south,

BRIEF HISTORY OF
THE KIWANIS CLUBS
The International Organization Has
Had a Remarkable Growth—“We
Build” Is Expression of Its Spirit.
. The Kiwanis Club Internationa! is r
composite group of business, profes
sional and agricultural men devoted to
the rendering of civic and social ser
vice to the respective communities in
which the many local clubs are lo
cated. This international organiza
tion is made up of nearly 1390 clubs
in that many cities of the United.
States and Canada, each of *hese
•clubs enjoying self autonomy, but
each functioning in direct connectio i
with district and international admin
istration. Each club is made up of
two of the leaders in each business
and profession in the city brought to
gether in close association to aid in
the solution of national, state and
community problems.
Kiwanis represents a cross section
of North American life. It is a mos
aic of varied social and economic
points of view.
Growth of Kiwanis.
The first Kiwanis Ciub was organ
ized at Detroit, Michigan, in January,
1915. During the following year, two
nore clubs were established, one at
Cleveland and the other at Pitts
burgh. In the second year thirty-five
clubs were established and in the third
year thirty-five more clubs were add
ad to the list, so that on January 1,
1918, there were seventy-three clubs.
At the time of the Birmingham con
vention in 1919, there were 1138 clubs
with about 15,500 members. Two
years later, at the time of the Cleve
land convention in June, 1921, there
■"are 533 clubs with a membership of
17,970. When the clubs convened at
Toronto in June, 1922, there were 802
?lubs and 68,010 members in the in
ternational organization. At the time
of the Atlanta convention in 1923,
there were 1043 clubs and 78,961
members. Today there are 1250 clubs
and over 89,000 members.
The name “Kiwanis” is a coined
word. The real meaning to it has
come through the constructive unsel
ish work *of Kiwanians. The motto
of the organization, “We Build,” is an
expression of the spirit of Kiwanis.
Purposes of Kiwanis.
Kiwanis crystallizes community
sentiment for municipal improve
ments. It cultivates public opinion
for purer polities, and promotes com
munity cooperation in all good things,
it develops leaders, urges harmony in
business, honesty and inegrity in all
dealings, and furnishes a forum for
he discussion of all fair and interest
ing questions.
Kiwanis is a representative influ
ence, organized for the advancement
of public welfare in its many phases,
for the stimulation of morals, chari
ties, health, better citizenship, civic
imprvement, and obedience to law and
all the tenets of better living.
The international policies which
guide the activities of all Kiwanis
clubs include these:
1. The emphasis and intensifica
tion of service on behalf of under
privileged children.
2. The development of better re
lations between the farmer and the
city man.
3. The aggressive development of
a cooperative spirit toward the cham
bers of commerce and the co-ordina
tion of activities.
4. The fostering of a fuller reali
zation of the responsibilties of pa
triotic citizenship.
While work on these policies has
been made more intensive, activity
along established policies is being
continued. This includes constant de
velopment of better business stand
ards and methods, general service
work on behalf of charities, boys’ and
girls’ clubs, playgrounds, hospitals,
memorials, safety campaigns, tourist
camp, the Y. 31. C. A., the Y. W. C.
A., the schools, beautification of
cities, Americanization, good roads,
and many other similar activities.
The Local Club.
The Lawrenceville Kiwanis club wms
chartered a little over a year ago, and
has been a prime factor in the ad
vancement of several projects tend
ing to the upbuilding of the town
and community.

WHERE SHALL THE
LAKE WATER FLOW?
The city of Chicago for many years
used Lake Michigan both as a source
of water supply and as a repository
for sewage. In course of time the prac
tice became dangerous to the public
health, and the city officials hit on
an ingenious plan to stop the further
pollution of the lake waters. They
dredged out the channel of the
Chicago river and dug through the
low watershed between that river and
the Des Plaines, until they actually
made the Chicago river run out of
the lake instead of into it. The sew
age was then discharged into the
river and so into the Des Plaines, the
Illinois and thd Mississippi. The suc
cess that attended that feat of engin
eering encouraged the project of dig
ging a still deeper canal across the
watershed and canalizing the rivers
until there should be a channel prac
ticable for fair-sized craft between
.he lakes and the Mississippi. Such
a plan now awaits favorable action
by congress.
But when you begin to interfere
with natural water courses all sorts
of persons, some of them a long way
from the scene of operation, are like
ly to be affected, and then comes the
exceedingly complex and difficult
question just what are the water
rights of the people who live here and
there upon the banks. The people of
Canada are much disturbed by the

Directions for Applying
With a little mop, apply a small quantity to the top of
each plant. One gallon of this mixture is sufficient to
poison one acre. Costs the farmer only 40 cents per gal

drainage commissioners’ and canal
advocates’ activities at the lower end
of Lake Michigan. Through the Brit
ish ambassador the Canadian govern
ment has protested to Secretary
Hughes against any further diversion
of the lake waters to the Mississippi
and even against the present diver
sion of water through the drainage
canal. It is the Canadian contention
that the level of the lower lakes, of
the Welland and the Sault Sainte
Marie canal and of the St. Lawrence
river has already been considerably
lowered, to the great impediment of
navigation in those waters. They
fear that any further diversion of
water would make the Welland canal
and the Lachine canal near Montreal
almost useless and dangerously dim
inish the flow available for water
power at Niagara falls and elsewhere.
How serious the conditions are now
we do not know; they are probably
tolerable, but the uneasiness of the
Canadians is not unreasonable. En
gineers are clever fellows and, if
they had their way, could easily draw
most of the water of the upper lakes
into the Mississippi instead of letting
it run down to the Niagara and the
St. Lawrence. The national govern
ment, interested in maintaining har
bor levels along the lakes, has al
ready had the city of Chicago en
joined from using any more water in
its drainage canal; the case is still
sub judice in the supreme court. If
the city wins, there may be a diplo
matic issue of some importance be
tween Canada and the United States.
