WHAT IS ROTARY?

TH E CHARTERING here re-cenlly «)f a Holnry Club has nrompted the (lueslion fre-

quently, "What is Hotary?" The question is a natural one and we shall endeavor to answer it.

First, it should he stated that Hotary does not recommend en-gaging in some community service activity already well handled by some other agency; secondly, Hotary does not engage in any general community service activ-ity that requires for its success the support of the entire commun-ity; ftatarians act through their Board of Trade in activities o» this character: Hotary clubs do not engage in any activity or pro ject that is alreadv being well handled by some other agency.

The question is also asked, "What are the objects of Hotary?" Briefly they are to encourage and foster:

(1) The ideal of service as the basis of all worthy enterprise.

(2) IH5gh ethical standards in business and professions.

(3) The application of the ideal of Service by every Hotar-ian to his personal, business, and community life.

(4) The development of iic-quaintance as an opportunity for Service.

(5) The recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupa-tions and the dignifying by each Hotarian of his occupation as an opportunity to serve society.

(6) The advancement of un-derstanding, good-will, and in-ternational peace through a world fellowship of business and pn» fessional men united in the ideal of Service.

DUST TO DUST

T« E SOLEMN WORDS of the burial service, "Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to

dust" are used to express the final return of the human body to its low place among the elemenls of the ground. The country has seen another expression of thai thought within the past few days, in the transference of vast quan-tities of powdery soil from th* rich farms of the middle west, to the wide spaces of the earth, l i teral ly , this also has been a case of "earth to earth and dust to dust."

The process of wearing out our soil by water erosion and dust storms, is one of the most de-structive forces to which our country is exposed. It is esti-mated to cause an annual loss to the country of $400,000,000. The fields have been pouring their fertility into the rivers, and wind storms have scattered it over the face of the earth.

Eventually the fertility of our country and most other parts of the world will be mined, unless this rich soil, heavily laden with valuable elements, can be kept where it belongs. Will man even-tually perish from the earth, be-cause the soil is deprived of its life giving power?

Probably science will always be able to feed the human race, by the right use of the chemical elements which the body needs. Hut there will be a tremendous change in human life and eco-nomic conditions, if chemical feeding has to take the place ot our present consumption of or-dinary animal and vegetable sub-stances.

It must become one of the func-tions of government to prevent soil deterioration through wind and rain so far as it can. Pre-servation of the forests is om remedial measure that will help in various ways.

HOUSECLBANING BLUES

FATHER IS not too keen about housecleaning. When he re-turns to find the chairs on

the porch and the rug out on the grass waiting for his beating, he wonders what it is all about. So far as he could see, the house was in perfectly good condition before all this upheaval. Furthermore, the house looks just the same af-ter Ihese mighty labors are com-pleted.

The ornate flapper who walks the streets in all her finery, ma> not be keen for housecleaning either. The room from which she emerged in all her doll beauty, may be a mess of disorder. If she becomes converted to the housecleaning tradition when she marries, she should be praised for such a noble change of attitude.

TTie men should not discourage housecleaning, even if it seems to them a futile orgy. From somn mysterious source the germs des-cend on us and lay us low, and every- nest of dirt is a home and nursery for them.

'WILLY" The shocking accident occurred

soon after Billy and a companion had alighted from the school bus, driven by the Rev. A. J. 'Hool-sema. According to Mr iHoolsema, Billy was standing about six feel in front of the bus waiting for cars to pass before continuing his journey across the street. Billy also saw a truck approaching bu; held his ground for the truck to pass. He was hit, however, by its front bumpers, and. according to the driver of the bus. was whirled around in such a man-ner as to be thrown under or against the rear wheels. Death was instantaneous. The truck, which was operated by Gerald Fineis. came to a stop about 20U feet beyond the scene of the accident.

The deplorable accident brouglu sincere grief to every member ot the community. Billy had enter-ed the kindergarten department of Lowell schools last Septem-ber to begin his school life *n the same institution from which his mother was graduated with the class of 1020. Tie was .. bright and lovable child, his win-ning ways endearing him to his plavmates and the older folk as well.

Highway and other officials have been here to investigate the cause of the accident and County Coroner -Harmon C. Wolfe has impaneled a jury composed of the following named persons: lohn M. Hilderley, V. A. Shell, George IHatch. William VanVorsl. Oscar J. Brezina and Frank r . Coons. This jury will meet nexf Tuesday at 9 a. m. for the pur-pose of holding the inquest.

The funeral services are being held at 2 o'clock this (Thursday? afternoon at the Lowell M. E. Church. Rev. R. S. Miller offici-ating. Burial in Oakwood ceme-tery.

Besides the mother, Billy Is su» -vived by his grandparents. Mr. and Mrs. Will J . Morse, and othei near relatives.

SPRING FEVER IHIAT IS spring Fever? What

h is that languid and rest-less feeling that seizes

hold of so many folks, as the birds sing their greeting songs, and the trees and shrubs burst in-to foliage and bloom?

To hear the stern old timers talk, you might think it was just laziness, a desire to lead vagrant and roving lives, the sentiment that makes you hate to tie your-self up to a bench or desk.

Cold weather draws your nerves a little tighter, and when the mild days remove that stimulus, the body slumps. It is a bit like a violin which makes beautiful music when tuned to pitch, but when the strings are less tight, it gives out only a discordant wail.

Man's nature is more or less roving. It comes from our an-cestors, all of whom wandered far away from their former homes. The modern person should not be too severely blamed, if spring fever and the call of the blood tempt him away from toil.

in slate administration, efiecling a saving of millions, and pulling into practice real economy and efficiency. The senate has gone about 100 per cent for this pro gram, and has passed practical-ly every bill the governor has sponsored, toward this end. The house, on the other hand, has f a i l e d j h e governor almost com-pletely. II has passed only one irill. that which consolidates the corporation division of the sec-retary of the slate's ofiice with the securities commission.

Last November's election placed in the senate 21 Hepub-licans and II Democrats, which still stands. It also placed in the house 50 Hepublicans and 50 Democrats. Many legislalors burned up in the Kerns Hotel lire, but only four who had been re-elected, all of them represent-atives: 3 Hepublicans and one Democrat. At Ihe special spring election, all four of these vacan cies were replaced by R.'publl-cans, leaving Ihe house al 51 Re-publicans and 49 Democrats, and the Governor had a Hepuu-lican majority in both house and senate, and things looked rosy for his prtogram. Immediately Representative George Watson introduced a resolution impos-ing an increase in rnembersbrp of several important committees swinging the control lo Ihe new Republican majority, so thai the administration bills being killed in committee, could be declared oul, and placed before Ihe h«use. The plan failed, due to three of the Republican mem-bers proving unfaithful, ami much of the blame for Ihe lack of action is placed bv the gov-ernor on three Republican mem bers, H. Earl McNilt of Cadillac. Horry Douvillc of Alpena, and William Green of Hillman. who voted with the Democrats 10 defeat Ihe Republican proposal of committee control by a vote of 50 to 47. To quote the gov-ernor on the matter, he said: "Look at the way the senile has functioned. If the house had acted within reason the bibs would have been passed and the session would be over."

So that accounts for our pros onged session, and no one

knows when it will end. nor just how much can be accont-phshed. Both house and sen-ale are putting in long hours, and working hard, and we are hoping a break will come.

Hugh Reahan. local sophomore, placed second with the declamation. "The Man With One Talent." Hugh, due ro an obscure rule of the associa-tion. had to revamp his speech after he arrived al Ionia and un-der the circumstances, is to be given a great deal of credil for his ability to make adjustments under trying conditions, Ionia placed first in the declamatory contest.

former prominent business man of Grand Rapids, missing since March 21. was found Saturday by Sheriff Hugh Blacklock and Dep-uties Andrew VanDuinen and Jar-vis VanCoevering in Thornapple river at Ada about a half milt

'west of the dam where be was last seen.

According to Blacklock. the body was caught on an obstruc lion al the west hank where the river begins to curve north. Due to the unscalable height of the hank al that point, it was neces-sary to tow the bodv several hun-dred feet before it could be re-covered.

VanCoevering had been scout-ing in Ihe vicinity daily for the past three weeks. Blacklock said, using a boat borrowed from the-Consumer's Power Co. substation at Ada.

Husiness concerns can promote this cause, by making il clear that Ihey will not tolerate dishonest employes. If a boy asks for a job, it would be well to ask not merely whether he is smart and a good worker, but whether he is honest. If he has a record of cheating in the things he has pre-viously done, the chances are he will try to cheat some new em-ployer and the public. The bo\ who had a habit of cheating in school, raises the question wheth-er he can quit that habit when he goes to work.

When a young person with a crooked taint finds it hard to get any decent job. the younger gen-eration will conclude that hon-esty is the best policy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

THE r.NITED STATES con-stitution gives our people the right of free speech and

a free press, but some people are always claiming that these rights are so abused that they should be restricted. In the legislature of the state of Maine the other day. a bill was introduced lo prohibit Ihe publication in newspapers of unsigned communicalions n o t dealing with regular news.

How far should people he f ree to write to the newspapers lo complain of Ihe acts of the gen-eral or local government? tHtow far can Ihey expect Iheir con-tributions lo be published? Here is a question that causes much tearing of hair in newspaper offices.

Something could be said in favor of Ihe idea that people who write such letters should expect to have Iheir true signatures pub-lished under them. People wri te violent letters to newspapers, at-tacking somebody or something, and expect Ihe newspaper lo pub-lish il over some assumed name. If they expect a newspajHT to ac-cept responsibility for such a let-ter. they should iake some share of it themselves.

Most newspapers pay no atten-tion to anonymous letters. The waslebaskel is the best home for such contributions. People who sign their own names in writing to the editor, bill expect their letter to be puidished over some assumed name, need not be so fearful of having their own names appear in print. If a per-son allows Ills own name to he used, the letter carries more weight.

The newspaper is the forum for discussion of public affairs. Such discussion is Ihe principal means by which our country makes pro-gress. The editors have learned by long experience what letters should be published, and which ones are not suitable for publi-cation. The question of printing them should be left entirelv fo their trained iudgment.

In this form, an onnce of gold will cov-er about one hundred square feet, says the Indianapolis News. In making gold leaf, a gold in-got about nn Inch wide Is first flattened between steel rollers to a long ribbon having the thickness of very thin paper. This ribbon Is cut Into squares, which are stacked with a sheet of vellum or tough paper be-tween the pieces. The pile Is Inclosed In a parchment case, placed on n marble table, and beaten with a heavy hammer until each piece has spread to a square of about three and one-half Inches. These squares are quartered. Each small piece Is next placed belween layers of "goldbeater's skin." a tough membrane prepared from the in-testines of cattle. The skins are dusted with tine plaster of Paris to prevent sticking, and beating is continued with a lighter ham-mer until the gold is again about three and one-half Inches square. Another quartering and heating then yields foil of the proper thickness. The final pieces are trimmed to about three and one-quarter Inches square and are packed belween leaves of dusted paper In books, each containing 23 pieces. Gold used for beat-ing usually Is about twenty-three karats fine.

How Cayenne Pepper It Made From Dwarf Shrub

Cayenne pepper is a hot and pun-gent powder made by drying and grinding the fruits or seeds of sev-eral species of the genus Capsicum, especially Capsicum annumn and Capsicum frutescens. There are about thirty species, natives of Central and South America. They are now grown in various parts of the world both for the fruit and for ornament.

The principal source of cayenne pepper Is 0, anmmm, the spur or goat pepper, a dwarf shrub, a na-tive of South America, but com-monly cultivated In the East Indies. It produces a small, narrow, bright red pod. having very pungent prop-erties. Cayenne pepper is manu-factured from the ripe fruits, which are dried, ground, mixed with wheat flour and made Into cakes with yeast; the cakes are baked until hard like biscuit and thon ground and sifted. The pepper Is sometimes prepared by simply dry-ing the pods and pounding them fine In a mortar.

How Wheels Have Developed The wheel has been traced far

back into antiquity. At first it was merely a circular cut from a tree trunk and records show that It was used by the primitive Indo-European peoples 4,000 or 3.000 years ago. Wheels In the form of circular discs, either cut out of solid pieces of wood or formed of separate planks of wood fastened together and then cut into a circular shape were used for various purposes by the ancient Egyptians and Assyr-ians In the early periods of their history, ijiter. the wheels of their chariots had spokes. The Egyptians and Assyrians generally used six spokes; the Greeks and Romans from four to eight.

How Handles Are Bent Hickory will -warp or twist If left

outdoors, and many ax handles de-velop a ••kink" for tills reason. This tendency to warp can he overcome to a large extent by rubbing kero-sene Into the handle before using and repeating this once or twice a year. If handle stock is seasoned by suspending it from one end any tendency to warp will show up much more readily than when the stick Is laid flat. If a curved han-dle Is needed for a shovel or pitch fork the stick should be bent while green and allowed to become thor-oughly dry before finishing.

How F a r Clouds A r e Seen The weatiier bureau says that In

open flat country clouds of the broad stratus or layer type cannot be seen more than .'W to -10 miles away, and not half so far if the air Is hazy or misty. On the other hand, when the air Is quite clear a well developed thunderstorm cloud may, under favorable condi-tions. be seen for more than 100 miles.

How Bills Are Introduced Each bill Introduced Into the con-

gress follows the same Initial pro-cedure. That is. It is placed by a member In the hopper or basket on the desk of the clerk of the bouse or senate. It is then referred to the committee and upon lis being Introduced, after being properly prepared by the coimiiittee, it is given Its title and read.

How to Clean Bronre Pieces Use a paste of powdered chicory

In time of great anxiety we can draw power from our friends. Wc should at such times, how-ever, avoid friends who sympa-thize loo deeply, who give us pity rather than strength.

"Rut yes. Mademoiselle." Selxas draped a snowy sheet around Clarl-bel'f* shoulders.

"For you. Mademoiselle, the smooth close cut Is the best. Then to bring out the natural piquancy of your face, a Huffy hang across the forehead—yes?"

"I leave It to you, Selxas," she smiled. "Only make mo as beau-tiful as you can."

Clarlbel hoped that tonight Rick Holllmore would ask her to marry him. . She had known Rick for a year. Lately she had fancied that there had been something new In his eyes; something more personal when he looked at her.

"There, Mademoiselle!" "Perfectly. Seixas." she sighed.

"You couldn't have done better." "Now a shampoo and wave. Made-

"It Is lovely. Selxas. And It Is Important that I he particularly nice tonight"

Clarlbel sat opposite Rick Holll-more In the dim dining room of tbe Cafe Brun. She was faintly disap-pointed. Rick, who invariably no-ticed the details of her costume, bad not yet commented on her changed headdress. She sipped her cocktail and tried to recapture the Intimacy of the past few meetings.

"You're quiet tonight. Rick." she said. "Tired?"

"A little," admitted Holllmore. "This business of casting for a new play gets me every time. I think I have my finger on a type I want and then—pouff! She drops her altches or bites her finger nails!"

"Poor boy." But Holllmore did not react to her sympathy. Clarl-bel felt chilled. At the moment she knew that she meant no more to Rick than the centerpiece of crystal tulips. If he dldnt soon see her as an Individual Clarlbel knew that she would always be Just so much atmosphere In his life. He was becoming too accustomed to her beauty.

Suddenly his eyes lit up. She fol-lowed his glance.

"Do you see her?" he exclaimed tensely. "The girl with the hair, red and crisp looking. I want her for the beggar girl In Scarlet Slip-pers. Can't you Just picture her?" Holllmore's voice was eager.

"She probably stutters." said Clarlbel.

"Rut her hair! It's a masterpiece of art and Imagination. I wonder who her hairdresser Is? He cer-tainly knows his stuff. Funny, the difference a haircut makes to a woman. Isn't it?"

"Yes. isn't It?" echoed Clarlbel bleakly.

Efile's reflection In the mirror above the kitchen sink gave back her vivid smile. Her crisp red-gold curls were almost completely ob-scured by the Inverted pewter bowl.

"Don't cut off too much. Mom." she warned. "Just enough to smarten the edges."

"Haven't I cut your hair enough times to know how to do It?" re-turned Mom Bailey brandishing her shears above the bowl. "Keep still and don't fidget."

"Gee. Mom." Effie leaned on the kitchen sink and admired her radi-ant mop. "Oee, Mom, that's swell." She turned to her mother.

" 1

By PERCY CROSBY Cartoonist

WAS born In a haunted house," related the comic artist. Per-

cy Crosby. "The first gleam of consciousness

which 1 can remember In my life was seeing a colored mammy under the kitchen table, and hearing my mother say that the mammy was a ghost. All through my childhood I can remember my mother complain-ing to my father that our house was haunted, until, when I was three, we had to move from It

"I can remember vividly that first experience—the only time I ever saw Uie ghost. It left an Indelible Impression on my mind.

"I had gone Into the kitchen to get a cooky. Under tbe kitchen table 1 saw a negro mammy; a red bandanna was tied tightly around her head, her two hands were on the floor. She seemed to be back-ing away from me. 1 screamed In fright at tbe strange sight and ran to my mother.

"Mother grasped my band, and took me back to the scene The woman was still crouching there.

"1 saw my mother slap at her, and lier band went rlgbt through her head and struck the wall; and the mammy disappeared.

41 'Ghost, ghost!' screamed my mother. I screamed also, not know-ing what the word meant

"Mother called witnesses who agreed that there was no sign or hide or hair of the mammy In the room. I was with her to testify that she had been there, and that when mother struck her she disap-peared.

"After that experience my moth-er grew more nervous and timid; bu t like all small boys, the experi-ence only gave me more courage, and more ideas for adventure. But I have never found a ghost since that time. No doubt since I was born in a haunted house. I'll prob-ably die In one."

Horned Toads Bear Young Snakes are not the only members

of the reptilian family which give birth to living young. A small female horned toad captured by a ranger naturalist In the Petrified Forest National Monument, Ari-zona, recently, surprised her captor by giving birth to 111 young toads within three hours' time; 18 living and one dead. Within 30 to CO sec-onds after seeing the light of day the horned toad youngsters were on their feet and sprinting around the cage.

As Ihe current report of thi1

Kent County Welfare Relief Com-mission points out, for many rea-sons the matter of age of a person on relief is of importance. It is interesting to analyze Ihe Feb-ruary reporl in the light of ago groups on relief.

Of the 4(5.004 persons on relief in Kent County, 17,(*)8:i are chil-dren between Ihe ages of I to L'». There are 4.44.S persons between Ihe ages of Hi and 20; while there are 24.271 persons between Ihe ages of 21 and CM whom the gov-ernment is feeding, clothing, and fueling. This group includes Ihe ages when men and women are best able lo work and lo earn.

There are many tragic pielures in this depression era. money swept away, illness caused b\ worry, suicides because of fear of Ihe future, business failures.

Hul the most ealamilous Ihing about il is the loss of morale. I which we see in so many people. Without work for a long in-riod. Ihey have lost Iheir grip. Ihev slump into a lethargy lhal is fast becoming chronic.

What will the future mean foi Ihese people? Mosl of Ihem wain lo work, we believe, but pro-tracted idleness has bred a dis-ease lhal has killed Iheir am-bition.

PROTECT YOUR BUILDINGS AND OTHER PERSONAL PROPERTY FROM CYCLONE LOSS!

$3,865,258,32 paid in losses. Records show that out of every

ten of our members, at least one suffered loss by cyclone during 1934.

This shows how important it is that every property owner keeps his possessions protected from cyclone loss by carrying cyclone insurance.

Mutual Insurance is the oldest known form of insurance. The old-est company of this mutual system was organized in 1752, and has been successful for 182 years. ^

The State Mutual Cyclone In-surance Company is a purely mutual company, and you are urged to get cyclone insurance on your property at once.

The cost is reasonable and the protection is needed during these days of frequent storms.

We cannot prevent cyclones, but we can protect you from loss.

For further information communi-cate with HARRY J . ANDRESS,

Secretary.

ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN

Had will be the day for every man when he becomes absolutely contented wilh the life that he is living, with the thoughts lhal he is thinking, with the deeds lhal he is doing; when Ihere is not for-ever beating al Ihe doors of his soul some great desire to uo something larger, which he knows thai he was meanl and made lo do because he is still, in spite of all. Ihe child of God.— Phillips Hrooks.

«• A COIDENT is tbe mother ol luveutlon. 99 times out of

100." said Ixnils Rreiman, the tor-pedo Inventor. One day he saw a frayed driving belt on a planing ma chine acting queerly. He got tbe Idea that It was possible to make a machine travel forward by pulling It backward. He made use of that principle in Inventing his engine of death.

Careless workmen In a paper mill forgot, one day, to add sizing to the pulp, and the whole vat had to be thrown away as waste. A short time later the proprietor came by. He saw the discarded rolls and tore off some strips to use for making notes. It absorbed the Ink as fast as he wrote on It, so he called It "blotting paper." We've used It ever since.

In another plant a workman play-folly tossed a piece of cheese Into tbe plating bath solution, used for producing copper disks for stamp-ing phonograph records. Tbe disks from this particular bath were tar superior to any others. The casein in the cheese was tbe one element that chemists had been looking for.

If you succeed in life, you must do it in spile of Ihe efforls of others to pull you down. There is nothing in the idea that people are willing to help those who help themselves. People are will-ing to help a man who can't help himself, and does it, they join in making his life as uncomfortable as possible.

Correlative passages to be read from the Christian Science text-book, 'IScience and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary-Baker Eddy, include the follow-ing (p. 23): "Wisdom and tave may require many sacrifices of self lo save us from sin. One sac-rifice. however greal. is insuffici-ent to pay Ihe debt of sin. The atonement requires constant self-immolation on Ihe sinner's part."

Morrissey Fmn To Big Interest in SeD 'Caterpillars

The Morrissey Farm and Or-chard Supply at Comstock Park have just signed a contract with the Caterpillar Tractor Co. of Peoria, HI., to sell their tractors in this locality.

Paul Morrissey spent five years with the Caterpillar Co. as sup-ervisor of Agricultural sales and he is well qualified to show the many advantages of this type of power when the "going is tough."

The Caterpillar Co. is an out-growth of the (Holt Caterpillar Co. and the C L. Best Tracklayer Co. They have been manufacturing this type of tractor since 1890. Their latest contribution to the tractor industry is the Full Disel Tractor. They now have three sizes of full diesels and two sizes of distillate burning tract-ors.

Very often people will call any-thing on tracks a Caterpillar. The name "Caterpillar" is registered by the Caterpillar Tractor Com-pany at Peoria, 111., and they are the only ones who are licensed to use it.

The Morrissey Supply Co. now have a new Model "22" on display at their store.

Rural Libraries A campaign to further work

now being done in rural Kent county by the Kent County Li-brarv Association, whose system

!of branch libraries circulated 2,420 books during March was in-augurated last Thursday at a lun-cheon at the Y. M. C. A. in Grand Rapids.

The association, which is now operating 18 branch library sta-tions in the county, seven of them aided by an FERA project pro-v lding funds for hiring librarians, will have the cooperation of clubs and civic groups throughout the county in its campaign.

County extension groups, Keni County Federation of Women's clubs, Kent County Council of Parents and Teachers, Rotary club, rural school teachers and teachers in Grand Rapids schools, as well as the Boy Scouts have pledged assistance both in solicit-ing and collecting donations of books as well as selling member-ships.

It is not necessary to be a pay-ing member of the association lo have the privilege of borrowing books, it was explained by Mrs. O. E. Balyeat, of Sparta, presi-dent of the library group. Mem-berships being sold now are in-tended to create an operating fund permitting wider scope of the service.

iRev. Samuel Wenger of Lowell, speaker at Thursday's meeting, declared that although more than a0 p e r cent of the nation's lead-ership conies from rural districts, there remain in America today 4/,000,000 rural people not hav-ing access to books or libraries. Others in attendance from Low-ell were Mrs. Allen Bennett and -Mrs. Chas. Doyle.

The main library is located in room 202 of the Y. M. C. A. and donations of books may be 'eft there, or, if donors will leave in-formation about them, arrange-nients will be made to have them picked up during the campaign, which w i | j extend through May 15.

During the past season the Jones Scorebooks won 18 games and lost 7. Four of the games lost were bv one poinl each and Lowell made every team go the limit to defeat them. The above is an excellent record considering the teams that met the local boys.

Uiyer was high point man tor the season with 185, followed by Norris with 170, while McMahon was third with 115. Bill Clark had the least number of fouls called on him during the season with 10, R. Maloney hud 20. The two guards, Clark and Maloney. played excellent ball on defense throughout the season and were responsible for the number of points that Norris, Layer and Mc-Mahon made, with their fine tim-ing and feeding of the ball through the defense. The Score-books thank the Lowell fans for their support during the season and are looking forward to a fine season next year.
