CLOSER RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN FARMER AND
CITY MEN, KIWANIS AIM

The development of closer relations
and understanding between the farm
er and the city man is an Enterna-
tional objective of Kiwanis. One of
the great aims of the present Gay
world, when as individuals we spe-
cialize in certain classes of work, is
to bring together all the working
forces for the benefit of everyone.
The gulf that has for years separated
the farmer and the city man has been
bridged by Kiwanis; and ii was ac-,
complished primarily through the
goodfellowship spirit and co-opera-.
tion of the city man and farmer in
dealing with problems of the town
and farm. GO ef.f a*@ q
When Kiwanis International first
stressed the closer friendship, the ag-
ricultural committees of the many
clubs did not so much consider the
problems of the rural and urban peo-i
pie as they did the vital need of
better human relationships. 1t was
known that an understanding be-
tween the two populations would
bring about an exchange of ideas to
combat the peculiar problems that
for years had been causing friction.
So the farmer came to Kiwanis
luncheons as a guest; anc in turn
the Kiwanian city man went to the
farmers home in q similar manner.
The meetings brought abous mu-
tual understanding, and as problems
became apparent the two sides, one
the farmers viewpoint and the other
the city mans We're discussed.
The I'VE Built motto of Kiwanis
added another achievement, for it
succeeded in establishing worth
while relationship between two groups
that We're in the past widely diver
gent Almost unconsciously the
leavening work began in the groups,
ard the entwined network of existing
conditions began to unravel as the
city man understood the farmer ana
kis problems, and vice versa.
But what has been established?
If Kiwan:s International is a service
organization and has large mem
bership of business and professional
men, what part can the farmer tscle
in its activities?
During the past year in over two
hundred communities progressive farm
extension work has been going en-.

THE PHILADELPHIA BLUES

An interesting phase of Philadelphia's character

Into court some of her good citizens have gone

centennial on Sundays The action is based on
blue law of 1874.
Indications are that by means and another

sition is shpshape, after all its troubles and delays,
tourists should find it well worth while 1t is said to
be truly credable celebration of the 150th ami
versay of our national independence:
But there are those in Philadelphia who would
RE tent Sunday visitors from seeing the show They

tolerant days, wiped the dust off and demanded
enforcement.
1t sounds strange coming from Philadelphia, this
self-rghteousness. Philadelphia is the city
tolerates Bill Ware; the city that permits
all gang of politicians, year after year. to exercise
complete control all it's civic affairs. 1t is
city whose citizens never know how they have voted
on any given issue or candidate, since this gang
doesn't bother to count the vote.

SAME OLD TRICKS

Senator watson solemnly assures Republican
voters that President Coolidge does not want any
rubber STAN" Senators and that he and Robinson
are still in good standing at the White House.
Watson has kept in office long by appealing
in the name of the Presidents that he cannot forego
the temptation to his same old tricks
little difficult this time because he found It
expedent to vote against the World Court and to
espouse farm relief bill which Coolidge branded as
unsound.
1t may be increasingly difficult to hide behind
Coolidge the campaign grows.
For the same day that Watson assured the
friends of Coolidge that he is still the most infuen-
tial friend of the President, word from Wash
ington that Everett Sanders will probably not be
able to speak in this State but will be too busy at
the White House to come home to help out "all the
candidates"
AS yet no official comment has been made upon
Labor Davis speech in this city aud for the first
time in history, locked out all newspaper reporters
when Cabinet member made a political speech.
Later the Watson press agents sent out what
was purported to be Davis Endorsement of him
self 1t is significant that it came from Watson not
Davis.
And there is Postmaster General New who has
usually been available in the past His voice in the
campaign has not yet been heard nor has there been
official acceptance of his offer to come home and
talk national pc cies.
But the Senator runs true to form Where
Coolidge has friends, he is for him. In localities
where the President is slipping Watson is indie

GOOD NERVE
Just like Jim

1t requires good nerve for Governor Jackson
and Clyde Walb to appeal for votes for Watson and
Robinson the ground that the present administra-
ton got the State "out of debt"
How did the State get into debt and who put it
there?
The answer, of course, is that it was put into
debt by the extravaganza of men elected by the same
machine which demands credit for taking it out
And the explanation of getting out of debt is
that the people were taxed more heavily than ever
before in their history.
Special taxes running into Millions more direct
burdens, Juggling of funds, but not dollar saved in
administration.
The teachers of the State have been refused the
percentage of retirement funds demanded by law
The total of State expenses in two years, under
the Jackson administration, was more than for the
eight years under Ralston and Marshall.
Until some tells the tax payers where some
money has been saved, where useless Offices have
been abolished where economies have been effected
the talk of tax reduction Is bunk
