shave and hair comb. I went to our
 office There were many people
 waiting. They thought was the guardian angel who came there with ny big bag of gold and silver to pay off the obligations that our
 would be manager" had made. Let me give you an idea of the numer- GUS accounts and the variety of ac- counts. There were doctors, gro
 cers, garage, auto rents, office sup rlies, light and gas, ice water, tele phone and telegraph, rent, clothing
 drugs, including toilet rticles. clean ! ing, pressing bills, salaries, fruit
 bills, restaurant hotel bills. rigars, i jewelry, vanilla beans. etc. too nurI
 erous to mention. They all looked to
 me to pay the bills. If there was
 any time when my life was not
 worth much it was certainly then. i could not explain because he was right there
 1 All you Rotarians have an idea ! how easy it would have been for
 me to explain, if l was in the right. All of you that think that way.
 there is q screw loose in your head. | for he was standing by my side tell | ing those people that the bills would have to be rechecked before any payment could be made 1 couldn't say a word Gentlemen, that night at his mansion 1 could not sleep a wink. I felt like a condemned mur- derer, who was expecting to be exc cuted the following morning. After six days in Chicago l heard how peo- pie had been worked how the bills of every nature had piled up against the company. The entanglement was great While it caused me great many gray hairs, yet it was the eX- perience of a lifetime.
 MT Devaux found that he could not work me an longer so he or ganized company of his own, and sold about seventy-five thousand dollars worth of stock. After about six months he sduandered all the money and the Lord only knows who he is working now.
 At one time l had from ten to twenty-five people making cactus candy, but now with my wide ex- perience, and extra fine judgment. I have from one to three-mostly one. In all due respect, "Donofrios Cac- tus Candy has done more to bring the name of Phoenix, Arizona before the eyes of the civilized world than
 the famous Roosevelt dam.
 
 speech in which I will appear before
 the public. and I am like little boy T want to have my say before I sit down
 What Do Think of Rotary? Few times we have been on the track Most of the time off the track. While I am not capable of running anything vet. I am like all the rest-I can make suggestions and roast it.
 First. see that all members get here on time. If any are late. charge from ten to twenty five cents addi- tional and let that fund go to charity Second. Have two very instruct i've subjects, such Dr. Nichols, pr. Brownfield. MT Noll, MT Coggins, MT. Conway. Mrs. bennett, Mir. Dull
 mage, MT. Rich, MT. Stauffer, MT.
 Button, Mr Diehl, MT Pishon and

 This will be. a great education to us. It will broaden our minds, pro-
 vided our heads have little va
 cant space to grasp the knowledge. | If by chance, our heads are not so | full and our minds so narrow that
 there is no room for the knowledge which our brother Rotarians will
 give us from time to time along their | lines of business. or thought To
 give you an example of what | mean by instructive subjects Say. Mir. Marshall, of the Phoenix National
 bank, would give us a talk about | banking in every shape and form what accommodations customers can get from the bank. how to ask for leans, how to meet the loan to sat
 isfy the bank. the usage of safety
 deposit boxes. to ketp insurance poli-
 cies. deeds, abstracts. iewelry. silver
 ware and to keep the many other
 articles which if lost could never be replaced And also tell them that
 they ran have all their notes and
 negotiable papers payable at the
 banks. and if you happen to have
 note that is gilt-edged, that the bank will advance you the money. If a new customer starts to do
 business with the bank and in d
 few days afterwards expects to bor-
 row money from the bank it would
 be advisable for the customer to
 make complete list of his assets
