OTIS L. BENTON
Is and Has Been an Advocate of Rural
Credit Legislation

STeoIL LeBlSkaChon
In a conversation with Mr.. Benton
regarding the subject of Rural Cred
frs. he expressed himself positively
IN favor of such measure, and said
further:
ssWhy, do you know it was the Re-
publican party that made an ex-
haustive study of the subject which
is the basis, for the present. bill,
and the Republican National con-
vention of 1912 declared in favor of
the Rural Credit measure.
During my entire life in North
western Kansas have worked early
and late to obtain cheaper money for
this part of Kansas. Cheaper money
means higher price for land which
is of far more Importance to me as a
large land owner, as well as to the
other farmers of the district, than
anything else.
/ shall work for all beneficial legis-
Iation to. this end
The false and garbled statements
being spread over the district by un-
.scrupulous politicians will not fool

when the farmers and everybody else

Mr. Connolly has been in Congress
four years. Will he or his friends

Another Falsehood Shattered,

Colonel Roosevelt and other Re-
publicans have devoted too much crit
icism to the alleged inefficiency of the
United States Navy under the Wilson
administration. The New York
World has made very careful inves.
tigation of conditions and finds that
the reverse of the charges is true, the
Navy being better organized, better
Differed and manned, better supplied
with ammunition, more ecomically
operated and better balanced thanHat
any time in its history. Every
branch of the Naval service has been
greatly improved since March 4th,
1913, and the organization of the At
lantic and other fleets developed to a
higher degree of efficiency.
After sixteen years of Republican
rule President Wilson found the Navy
in bad shape and Immediately made
every move possible to improve it,
the result of which has been it hasbe.
come greatly more efficient fighting
organization. 1t has been impossible
so far to correct all the Republican
shortcomings, but the most glarins
have been eliminated.
The present administration has
added ninety-six vessels to the active
and reserve fleets in the Atlantic and
will have twenty-five battleships, for
ty-two destroyers, twenty-five sub
marines and seventy-two other YES
sells, one hundred and seventy-two
in all, co-operated in the summer ma
noeuvers this year. During three
years the administration has author
lied the construction of ten dread
naughts and battle cruisers, four
scout cruisers, twenty-six destroyers,
Seventy-six submarines and largely
increased the ammunition, torpedo
and proiectile outputs. 1t has also
established a Naval Reserve, saved
the country 81, 10000 on armor con-
tracts and effected numerous other
contracts aggregating millions. De-
sertion has dropped fifty per cent.
and is steadily decreasing. Secretary
Daniels has added 6,33l men to the
enlisted strength of the Navy and for
the first time in many years there are
more men on the pay roll of the
Navy than Congress has actually au-
thorized.
Like all of the criticisms directed by
the Republicans against the Demo-
cratic administration, that of the Navy
falls very flat. In fact the Worlds

ON BEING ONE OF
THE COGS IN ROTARY

1t was during the Buffalo Rotary
Convention in 1913 that I was vac
cinated with the germ of Rotary and
began to recognize the importance
of the vital truth that the more l
knew of the other fellow and lbs bust
ness the better I would be able to
serve myself, my business and So
ciety. I was not then a Rotarian,
nor a member of Rotary club.
This joy came later.
AS others have done I asked,
'eWhat is it," and was told, ct is an
organization for the prevention of
that which is harmful in business and
society and the promotion Of that
which is helpful"
For two years I watched the wheel
of Rotary" turning and increasing
in size. With each increase came a
corresponding increase in my desire
to become a cog in this wheel.
/ became cog. began to live

intensely interested cog, assisting the

San Francisco Rotary Convention in
1915 and my opportunity to be cog,
to serve society and business more,
blazed forth in its zenith.
Harry-John-Fred Rotarian, that
same opportunity is yours!
No Rotarian ever has had a greater
opportunity than the one which will
be provided by the 1916 Information
al Rotary Convention at Cincinnati
next July.
The Rotary wheel Is small COM
pared with what it will be and the
cogs are few in comparison with
what they should be.
Are you still admiring the turning
] of the wheel, or are you a cog? Are
| you just member of the Rotary club
or are you a Rotarian?
II Somewhere in Rotary there is q
cog's place for you. You may moi
be an orator or an executive but you
are something and each cog has its
particular importance.
Find your place; If some fellow
points it out to you, know that he
has done you favor. Be a full.

ROTARY, ROSES AND WOMEN.
a LITTLE TALK TO THE PENSACOLA
SPIRIT AND WHAT 1T MAY ACCOMPLISH

For three days Portland residents
and the visitors in the city take part
in the programs and witness many
events where the rose flower is the
central feature. Rose production
in Portland has increased enormously
in recent years and florists now es-
innate the city easily produces 25,-
100000 roses each year, in addition
to hundreds of millions of buds.
Eacsh year Portland observes
Washington's birthday, February %,
as annual Rose Planting Day. This
is the day when hundreds of new
rose bushes are set out, and the old
! ones trimmed and made ready for
the annual production Of the beauti-
full flowers.
The rose is the central feature of
the annual June festival. The flor
al parade brings out roses on review
estimated to number 100000 and
artificial flowers do not have place
in the great pageant. The festival
center features roses and other flow
ers. The central attraction this
year will be mammoth rose foun-
tain. More than 10000 Dorothy
Perkins roses viii be used to form
an electrical and rose fountain,
claimed to be the first of the kind
ever exhibited in the United States
Portland has one park where more
than 100000 roses are in bloom In
Festival week. This proved one OF
the big attractions of the 1915
Fiesta. The garden presents more
than 700 varieties of the rose, Gov
ering more than $4,000 plants.
| What the women of Portland have
done, the women Of any city may do
1t need not necessarily be roses
There are hundreds Of varieties OF
blossoms which lend themselves tt
cultivation, more readily than do tht
roses of Portland.
j Let the women of Pensacola, with
true Rotary spirit, bend their ener'
! g1es to making of Pensacola City
Beautiful, by each one doing her par
/ in her own garden plot.

The spirit of the Rotarians is not
confined to amy creed or sect, any
special line of business, or to sex, but
1t has come to express, in a very
wonderful way, the spirit of friendli-
ness, Of progress, Of helpfulness and
of all those qualities which go to
make up the well-rounded man or the
wen-rounded woman, who finds IN
business more than mere money
making, in the home life something
wider than domesticity.
When the women who make up the
membership of the Civic League, at
their last meeting, decided to contrib
ute to the Lagoon road fund, they
expressed in very practical way, the
Rotary spirit, which is coming to
mean so much in the community life.
Recently, when the Rotarians con-

men, contributed and it was the won-

The men of Pensacola are not near
ly as much interested in the Y. M.
G. A. as are the women of Pensa-
cola. This may seem broad state
ment, but it is true one. It is not
possible for the heart of the father
to reach out after the boy as the
heart of the mother must ever reach
IN its desire to love and to cherish and
to protect. But the father is more

So the two together, are creating n
Pensacola the very best kind of /;

enough and broad enough not to b,
all masculine nor all feminine.
1t is this splendid Rotary spirit
which is interesting the women o,

formerly paid very much attention
and seems, somehow, very fitting
thing that this Rotary number of T.

The Rotarians have entertained OIL

and the sisters and the mothers and
the sweethearts of the Rotarians, but
this is the first time they have ever
paid the mothers special compli-
ment BY getting out an edition on the
day dedicated specially to the Moth
ers of the World.
At the Rotary Convention which
will be held in Cincinnati in July
more than four thousand delegates
will be in attendance, and certainly
each one of these delegates has some
woman-kind who is specially inter-
ested in Rotary because he is inter-
ested in it. 1t is this spirit Of I'M
derstanding, of faith in each other
that makes the women of thiI coun-
try and the men OF this country COM
rades in work and in play.
There are a great many things
that the women Of Pensacola might
do to help the Rotarians in their eff
forts to make better and more
I progressive city Of Pensacola.
One of these things is to help build
a city beautiful, by tending the
home garden, so that some day Pen
sacola may be noted as Home OF
Gardens, as now it is noted as for its
beautiful waterways.
