The following poem is of special in

Mildred Rutherford, the historian ot
the United Daughters of Confederacy,

reunion here next week, and deliver

Now class, get your atlas,
Find the western hemisphere,
And I’ll show you, of all the countries,
The one we hold most dear.
Tis bound by gulf and oceans,
XV.'th the Great Lakes overhead,
“ Tis the grandest country in the

world,”
11.
Now look the states all over,
And forty-eight you’ll find,
Not one comes out behind,
And in the southeast corner,
Old Georgia’s hills are red.
“She’s the grandest state in the U.
S. A.,”
So Miss Rutherford said.
111.
’Mong the hills in the northeastern
corner,
Where the air is pure and dry,
You will find our lovely Athens,
With her classic head so high,
She’s the home of truth and learning,
And of great mfti, living, dead.
She’s the grandest city in Georgia
land,
So Miss Rutherford said.

CONVICTS TO BE SENT ON
A BASIS OF ROAD MILES
I
ATLANTA, Ga„ Aug. 17. —Hereafter
the convicts of the state of Georgia
will be apportioned among the coun
ties on a basis of public road mileage,
instead of on a basis of population, as
at present, if Governor Harris signs a
bill which was passed by the house of
representatives Wednesday, and which
had previously passed the senate.
The effect of this method of appor
tionment, should it become a law, will 1
be to reduce the convict gangs of the i
populous city counties, and to increase 1
the gangs of the small country coun- 1
ties. It was, In fact, with this idea in i
1 view that the bill was drawn.

CHICAGO, Aug. 17. —An economy ' (
campaign of nation-wide extent will be i,
! ’
started by American farmers at the (
Fourth National Conference on Mark-'.
i
feting and Farm Credits called today to I (
meet in Chicago, December 4-9 at the ,
Hotel Sherman. The campaign will ,
begin with practical plans for check- .
ing enormous wastages in marketing
farm products. This annual wastage (
is of billion dollar magnitude, accord- .
ing to a statement of general commit
tee. “The root of it lies in defective
local organization of farmers,” says
Secretary Charles W. Holman of Mad
ison, Wisconsin, “and the delegations'
will work out machinery for getting
the local communities more tightly
organized.”
Prior to the conference surveys will
be made, under the direction of the
committee, that will show the move
ment of crops such as livestock, grain,
hay, cotton and perishable products.
The whole milk situation in its relation
to city distribution problems Will come
in for a considerable share of atten
tion. .
To bring out more vigorously the
evils in the present wasteful system of
handling farm products,” the confer
ence will conduct special hearings
open to the public. Local and general
conditions will be taken up by com
petent witnesses and remedies will be
outlined.
The rural credits section will an
alyze the scope and limitations of the
Federal Farm Loan Act so that the
American farmer may know what to
expect under its terms. This section is
to conduct hearings to develop facts as
t< the status in America of«4fa» farm
tenant, the farm laborer and the im
migrant in his relation to the land. The
conference leaders expect the hearing:
to put the delegates in a position to*
sound the dominant chord in the for
mation of a comprehensive land policy
for the United States. How to handle
the immigrant and how to move land
less men to the land will be stressed.
Economists, government officials and
leaders in industries dependent on ■
farming will cooperate.
The National Conference on Mark
eting and Farm Credits is an open
forum in the fourth year cf fts exist
ence. All of Its meetings have been
held in Chicago. In 1915 delegations
came from 46 states and from several
provinces in Canada. Its general com
mittee signing the call are: Chairman

PRESIDENT HAS CALL
FOR H ALL ROADS
(Continued from Page 1.)
but will depend upon the interrupted
business conditions to crystallize pub
lic sentiment in favor of their conten
tions, and finally bring victory for
them.
At 3 o’clock this afternoon, it was
said in a quarter known to be close to
President Wilson that in the event the
railroad presidents, when they come
tc Washington Friday are not in
position to speak absolutely for their
roads, the chief executive may then
Invite the financiers who actually con
trol the railroads to confer with him
at the white house. The Intention ot
President Wilson at this hour seem®
to be to deal with the “ultimate au
thority” on both sides of the contro
versy, before going further in efforts
to avoid a strike. No subordinate au
thority Is to be consulted by the presi
dent it now appears, and the final
stand of the administration is likely to
he based upon the stand taken by those
actually controlling the two sides of
the controversy, and will take full
cognizance of the rights of the public
in the premises.
Some of the brotherhoods leaders
were planning late this afternoon, it is
reliably stated, to meet the railroads’
demand for arbitration of the issues
, involved including the eight-hour day,
by insisting that seventy-five railroads
not represented in the managers’ com
mittee, and for which the railroad rep
resentatives say they cannot speak, be
j included in the negotiation for settle
ment of the controversy. In that way,
it is pointed out, there may develop an
inquiry into the ownership and con
trol of these seventy-five railroads.
Representatives of the brotherhoods
claimed this afternoon that the larger
railroads, all of which are represented
cn the managers’ committee here, con
trol the smaller lines, and that they
are deliberately preventing these lines

Delays The Statement.
Another indication of the delicacy of
the strike situation is seen in the an
nouncement at the white house that
President Wilson has decided not to
make public at this time his remarks
before the brotherhoods chairmen to
day. On Wednesday it was said the
president intended to make public his
plea before the railroad men, in order j
to place the Wilson administration's •
position in the controversy squarely ,
before the American public, and to-1
day’s decision to withhold announce
ment of the remarks is taken to indi
cate extreme tension between the par
ties involved.
Brothers chairman issued a state
ment this afternoon dealing with Pres
ident Wilson’s determination to con
sult the presidents of the railroads to
morrow, In which they take the posi
tion that the railroads’ presidents are
all familiar with the course and status
of the negotiation and assert that the [
stand of the railroad managers has
been approved in advance by the pres
idents of the various corporations.
Six hundred and forty brotherhood
chairman who are In Washington
waiting the outcome of pending nego
tiation, and who probably will have the
last word to say for the men before a
strike is called, held a conference be
tween themselves. Later the brother
hood chairman marched in a body to |
the white house, where they proposed
to hold a conference with President
Wilson. Their purpose in visiting the
white house this afternoon is not
known.
