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 bors frf every member of the farm family. , SEND US YOUR JOB WORK. 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 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 DR.

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.
