HEAD OF CIVIC LEAGUE

70 improve civic ideals by
furthering civic interest in educa-
ton, music, recreation, law enforce
ment, and beautifying the city, is
the purpose Of the civic league or
ganized Tuesday, March II, at the
Christian church. At that time a
committee was appointed to draw
up constitution for the organiza-
tion and on Sunday, March 80,
public meeting was held at the same
place and the constitution adopted
and officers elected.
DR.. J. w. Henderson was chosen
to head the civic league as its pres
ident; f. c. Durdle, vice president;
Quinn w. McCord, second vice pres
ident; Dan Droz, third vice presi-
dent; Miss Elizabeth Stannard, sec
retary; Miss Ruth Mckeln, treas
urer. Meetings will be held on the
second Tuesday of each month, the
next one to be Tuesday, April s, at
which time a big attendance to plan
details of the league work is ex-
pected.
All Protestant churches united in
the meeting last Sunday night and
the church was well filled with citi-
zens interested in the formation of
a league for the betterment of the
city. President Henderson was in
charge Of the meeting, which opened
with songs, and prayer by Rev. /. F..
Metcalf. Then followed the read
ing of the preamble to the consti-
tuition, which was briefly explained
by DR.. Henderson. Rev. G. r.
Schlauch spoke on the educational
aims of the league, Rev. Metcalf on
recreation and Rev. G. Sykes on the
moral issues the league must meet.
Much enthusiasm was shown in
th& organization of the league and
the aims proposed for it. One of
the biggest purposes Of the body is
to interest the people of the town
in providing clean amusement and
opportunity for the development of
the musical and dramatic talent in
our midst. Athletics, sanitation
and other questions are to receive
their share of attention, and the
details of the work are to be
planned in the near future.

PLAN INLAND
SEAPORT HERE
MiSSippi Valley Association
Takes Steps for Huge
CannI.

South Bend may yet have the pro-
posed Lake Erie-to-the- Mississippi
canal before the present generation
passes Speedy action on the new
waterway which will link the Great
Lakes with the Mississippi and make
this city an inland seaport was urg-
ed by the Board Of Directors Of the
Mississippi Valley association at St.
Louis Thursday.
According TO the Rev John T.
O'Hara, dean Of the foreign COM
merce department at Notre Dame,
Congress will be asked 10 take i'm
mediate steps 10 develop not only
the canal which will pass through
South Bend but 20 improve general
" the entire system OF Mississippi
valley navigation. Father O'Rara
returned from the convention Fri
day morning.
New Waterways.
In the event that the canal is
soon begun South Bend will be link
ed by waterways with Kansas City.
St Louis, New Orleans and other
cities along navigable rivers. The
business men at the convention
Thursday are believed to have urged
immediate action because OF their
belief that the railroads will be re-
turned in full TO private interests
before the first Of the new year In
that event it is assumed the rail-
roads will reduce freight rates along
all waterways and again engage in
cut-throat competition with river
and canal routes and attempt to
drive the latter out Of existence
Engineers and freight experts are
now working out details Of the pro-
posed canal and If congress acts
favorably on the latest recommended
ton it is expected that construction
on the project will begin here next
April.

GOVERNOR APPOINTS
BOARD OF FARM SURVEY

Governor Davis has appointed a
board of Farm Survey with Profess
| sor VIM. ID. Saunders of the Virginia
Polytechnic Institute as chairman.
The other members Of the board are:
Il. Southall Farrar of Amelia, district
farm demonstration agent; DR.. j. G.
Fcrneyhough, state veterinarian:
/ iichard Messer. sanitary engineer of
the State Board of Health: and Will
Lana F, Smyth, State accountant.
Governor Davis is working out a
plan by which the trained agricul-
tural and other specialists in the
state service can be utilized to assist
the mana cement at the State farm
and at the State hospitals. and the
other institutions operating farms, to
get the best results. The plan was
tried out last fall, when experts at
Blackstone visited the State peniten-
tiary farm at Lassiter and the state
hospitals NJ Petersburg, Williams
burg and Stanton and made recon-
mendations for the Improvement of
The farming methods.
From the reports made at that
time. the Governor was convinced that
a very practical service could be rem
dered by establishing a special body of
experts to perform this service in a
more com prehensiVe way. For in
stance, these preliminary reports
pointed out the need for more inten-
sive farm management at the several
Institutions: showed the lack of proper
farm record keeping and cost ac-
counting; revealed the need for more
scientific crop rotation, more care
full attention TO the dairy herds and
to live stock raising In general, greater
orchard and garden development. bet
ter marketing methods. and a more
extensive preservation of products;
and indicated that better drainage and
sanitation are needed.
The board Of farm survey. like the
Governor $ board of mechanical sur
vey, is non-paid body, and the mem
bers have all accepted membership
on II as an opportunity to render a
constructive public service.
