The response was given to the
address of welcome by Dr. W. H. j

Charlotte. He said that the Unselfish
manner in which men of ail walks '
of life are rendering service in the
1" oded d. strict of the West ought to
he a lesson t j Kiwanians as to their ;
duty to humanity that the purpose !
of Kiwanis is to develop a fueling cf ;
duty and opportunity among its mem

of the good things they get out of it

lime, it has bound together splendid
,'ePows who have heretofore had gooi
'T.d.vidual conceptions of life, but who
have rot known what it is to present
a solid organized front, but that now
they wili endeavor to put into prae
tice the real spirit of Kiwanis and
to build, r.ot simply material things,
but to help strengthen the physical,
moral and spiritual life of the town
and community, in recognizing the
tact and presenting in an organized
ny real service to humanity. He
said we have caught the vision and

but that if we weren't green we
couldn't grow and that if we weren't
ignorant we couldn't learn.
A telegram of congratulations was
read from headquarters in Chicago
and everybody joined in singing,
"Good-Night Ladies."
THE GREAT SPIRIT OF ROTARY
The local Rotary club recently fos
tered a most noteworthy cause that
of inducing the boys and g'rls to stay
ia school until their education is com
pleted, so far as schools and colleges
are concerned. The reception given
the graduating class of boys in the
Monroe High School by the Rotary
club a few weeks ago greatly inspired
these young men and they are speak
i.ig in hih turns of tha Rotarians
and the inspiration received from
them is going to be productive of
much good. The real Rotary spirit
in regard to business life is beauti
fully set forth in the following arti
cle taken from "The Rotarian:"
The rne condition or power upon
which business depends for its con
tinued life is Faith. Co-dependence
of faith and business morality is just
as evident in the personal relation
ship of employer and employee as in
any other business relationship. In
the employer-employee relation, we
usually think of business morality in
terms of personal int'.'grity. If em
ployees lack faith in an employer as
a man, all his striving to gain their
un.'.ed and frank cooperation is fu
tile. If he fails to inspire faith in
his methods, and faith in his organi
zation, he mpy be doing worse than
tailing to enlist the whole-hearted
support of his employees he may
be, ar.d probably is tearing down
their faith in employers generally.
Likewise, if his system of distribu
ting the fruits of their work does not
command the faith of his employees
the employer is destroying faith in
our general scheme of business and
industry.
Outside the business family, is the
public and its faith in the individual
business. The public's faith in a
house, its work, or its merchandise, is
the sifio tiua unn in the life of that
institution. Every line of bus'ness
and industry has in its history num
erous instances of the certain doom
that follows evasion of this funda
mental. Uusine.-s operates the world around
on an all-inclusive credit system.
Here again we find faith essential.
The faith of one individual in another
is the ultimate, real basis of credit.
And the faith of the public in an in
dustrial or commercial institution is
necessary if the latter is to succeed.
The usefulness of any money, wheth
er metal, redeemable paper, or fiat,
depends upon the people's faith in
its value, which is something more
than mere acceptance of money as a
medium of exenange. Here, at the
very pivot of our industrial and com
mercial system, faith is the power
that holds fast the pivot bearing, the
foundation of this system, which is
business or commercial morality. Re
move this faith and we have the cat
aclysmic condition of eastern Europe
today, where the foundation busi
ness morality has given way. Indi
vidual or group action which destroys
faith in our structure of industry and
commerce is ever the result of a
lapse of business morality. W't cannot
separate faith an business morality.
Rotary long ago set for itself a task
when it determined to have a part in
improving the tone of business mor
ality and establishing it upon an ever
higher plane. No matter how large
or small Rotary's part in this work
may be, the carrying out of her pur
pose is the work of individuals and
through them the work of trade ard
professional groups. It is a woiJc in
which Rotary's success will be great
or small, according to the determina
tion and moral courage of those who
have accepted the principles and ob
jects of Rotary.

I T about this time o f the year, when your lawn sheds its
winter coat of hardness, and the first blades of grass
spring up, you're going to start to thinking of a lawn
mower. That is, if you want a neat, even grow th, and know its
advantages. An unkempt, shaggy lawn detracts from
the appearance, and so indirectly from the value of
the house.
Drop in and look over the various models and sizes.
