GOODYEAR PEOPLE WORKING
On Plans for Acronautical Expansion
Purchase Government Grounds.

With the purchase Of the United
States naval air station at Wfngfoot
field, Akron, Ohio, the Goodyear Tive
and Rubber Company obtains posses.
sion of what Is probably the largest
privately owned aviation field in this
country.
Located within two miles Of the
company's factory, the new field will
he used for the expansion Of aero
,'autical activities, especially the
manufacture Of large airships for
passenger and commercial SEES.
Tentative plans have been made by
the company to establish a flying
school for the training Of airship
pilots to anticipate the need Of air.
ship lines in various sections Of the
country.
Wingfoot field will allow sufficient
facilities for the complete manufac-
ture of dirigibles and trials after
completion. 1t Is planned to have a
dirigibla at this field at all times for
demonstration purposes.
Established by the government two
years ago, Wingfoot field afforded ia
cilities for the training Of several
thousand dirigible pilots and 'observ-
ers for kite balloons. The hangar is
400 feet long, $50 feet wide. and 80
feet high, capable Of housing three
1GS-feet airships Of the type for the
United States navy during the war.
There are barracks for 1000 men
and a hydrogen generating plant ca
pable Of producing 100000 cubic
feet Of gas daily for the imitation Of
airships.
If the present expectations OF the
company are realized, the purchase
Of this huge aviation field will make
Akron one of the leading air ports
Of the United States.

RATS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE.
Estimated that they Cost America
$1,000, 900, 900 Each Year.

AS an agent Of destruction and a
carrier OF disease, the rat Is classed
among mans most dangerous enemy
Estimates show that rats cost this
country more than $1,000, 100000
every year. This Is a staggering sum-,
a considerable portion Of which
would be saved II people would only
make a determined effort to get rid
OF these pests. Some of the larger
cities are spending thousands Of dol
lars to exterminate the rat, and the
results are easily seer in the decrease
in deaths from contagious diseases.
That the rat is an expensive board
er is shown by the fact that a single
rat annot exist under at least q cent
a day. That means that every rat
on your premises Is costing you one
cent every day. This does not include
damage to buildings, furniture, etc.
Many solutions Of the rat question
ave already been suggested, but
perhaps the best and most effective
manner Of getting rid Of this pest Is
by poison.
Killing rats has been reduced to
an exact science. Rat poisons in the
form Of powders are almost as dan
gerous as the rats themselves, as the
slightest draft may blow the poison
through the rooms and allow 1t to
settle in the food.

EXODUS OF PEOPLE FROM y. s.

age and Other Topics Discussed.

Now York, April 8.-The first ma
tional immigration conference eve
held In America began here yester-
day to discuss naturalization and i'm
migration laws, the shortage Of labor
and the exodus of immigrants from
America, and the Of the unrest
among the f~oreign-born, with u view
to formulating recommendations to
Congress. The meeting was under
the auspices Of the inter-racial coun-
Gil Of New York, and delegates in
Guided representatives Of thirty ra-
cial groups and spokesman for in
dustry, agriculture, capital and labor.
William II. Barr, president Of the
inter-racial council, and spokesman
for industry, and Gen. Coleman Du-
pont, chairman Of the board Of di-
rectors Of the inter-racial council,
opened the meeting. A statement pre-
pared by T.. r.. Meredith, Secretary
Of Agriculture, was read, In which
he approved of any Legitimate effort
to point the way in which the immi-
grant may be helped to become a
thorough-going American"
America is 4,O00,0 600 men short as
a result Of the %dwindling Of immigra-
ton since the war, Gen. Dupont Is
quoted as stating.
thousands Of immigrants are 60
ing back; other thousands are mi
grating to Canada, South America
and Australia, and other countries
are making organized efforts to at
tract immigration. The United States
Is not.
"There are over 200 bills pending
In Washington, which, If passed, will
shut out the future supply Of immi-
grant workmen, and will demoralize
industrial and credit conditions in
America.
"The indiscriminate denunciation
Of the foreign-born which has been
taking place in America is resulting
In many Of them leaving this coun-
try.
"The situation is a grave one, call
ing for concerted, nationwide &C
ton"
The immigrant no longer will come
to America to enjoy freedom of wor-
ship or the right Of free speech, but
the 'impelling reason will be eco
nomic," said Mr.. Barr.
Secretary Meredith's statement
outlined the work of the Department
Of Agriculture, and with reference
to immigration and the farm labor
problem, said: "Many thousands of
Immigrants who came from farms in
their home countries, and who are
real lovers Of the soil, have been side
tracked in u great cities because
they do not know how to go about
it to get a foothold on the agricul-
tural ladder.

In the c%ongested centers, these people
are likely to become disconnected.
Living in colonies in the cities, learn
ing nothing Of our language, customs

unrest.
Large numbers of the discomfort
ed elements can be transformed into
contented agricultural workers If
they are told how to make the right
move"

L0WDEN AND WOOD
STRONG IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Those Two Will Vie for Backing
Of Republican Voters at

SIOUX FALLS. S. D.. February z
Especially Interest among the re-
publican voters OF South Dakota con-
tinuss to center largely in the con-
test between Leonard Wood and Gov.
Lowden to secure a plurality Of the
republican votes cast at the March
primary election. Not only the sup
port of the comparatively small
South Dakota delegation to the re-
publican national convention is at
stake. but the result in this state
when . choice is made between Leon
ard Wood and Gov. Lowden is expect
ed to show the drift of the political
winds and give the victor the oppor-
tunity to use the victory won in South
Dakota in influencing the voters of
other states and thus greatly adding to
his strength in the national convention.
Both the supporters of Leonard
Lowden already are claiming they
will carry South Dakota. but in con-
servative circles 1t Is stated that as
yet 1t 10 anybody's fight.
Leading women of the state about
two weeks ago commenced organizing
Wood for President and LOwden =
new woman voters, and it was not
many days until woman workers for
Gov. Lowden put in an appearance.
and the rival groups of women now
are as busy as bees organizing the
new woman voters of the state into
wood-for- President and Lowden-
for-President clubs. Both are making
claims of having the most members
enrolled. but at the same time are
not relaxing their efforts to organ
izs additional clubs or secure addi-
tionaI members for the clubs already

March 25, which was issued today
through Frank J. Ham Of Augusta

one or two auxiliary delegates be

The convention will nominate six

for Underwood. The latter remarf
also brought applause.
So far as the state committee is
concerned. Underwood is plainly the
favorite in Georgia. though there
has been no special mention OF his
candidacy this year. Eight years ago
he carried the state in the preferen-
tial primary against Woodrow Will
son. Sentiment for Hoover seems to
be growing in Georgia as elsewhere.
Palmer and McAdoo have their sup
porters here and there. Some prohi-
bitionists are for Bryan. The boom
for Senator Reed will be promoted by
leaders Of the Thomas E. Watson wing
of the party. Ex-senator Hardwick
and Watson are getting right chummy
in politics, though few years ago
they were bitter enemies. Watson was
expected to be here Friday afternoon
for the Reed meeting. but disappoint-
ed numerous populists who had come
to town to see him.
Georgia republicans are split. as
usual. In the regular wing are the lily
white and tho black and tan factions,
while a third wing or faction is COM
posed Of the erstwhile bull moosers, led
by Harry Stillwell Edwards Of Macon.
Tho progressives will hold a state con-
vention and send to Chicago a delega-
ton which they do not expect to be
seated Then they will put a ticket Of
presidential electors in the field. Their
object, they say. is to build up IN Geor-
white and strictly respectable re-
publican party. They believe their
electors will get more votes than
the regular electors. Eventually. they
hope to show the republican national
committee that they are the ones who
ought to be recognized in Georgia.
Roscoe Pickett. chairman of the regu-
lar republican state executive commit
tee, whose leanings are on the side Of
the lily whites, expects to call a state
convention about the middle of March
The disposition Of the white leaders in
the regular wing will be to send an un-
instructed delegation.

1t has also been reported that Lowden

seems to lie in the desire of the or
