OF COOPERATION

Weekly Luncheon; Enter

Seventy members were present and
James p. Mccullough. superintendent
of The Telegraph Printing Company,
was chairman of the Rotary Club
luncheon at the Senate Hotel to-day.
The speaker was r. j. Stackpole,
president of The Telegraph Printing
Company. Mr.. Stackpole talked prin-
cipally on individual and community
cooperation.
1T is a fortunate city that has back
of it the push and energy of such an
organization as the Rotary Club" said
Mr.. Stackpole, but after all il is not
so much the big things that you do
that count. 1t is the good fellowship
you enjoy on occasions like this. the
standing shoulder to shoulder in time
of stress, the personal interest you
manifest in one another, the hand
clasp and the pat on the shoulder
that mean most, for life is made up of
just such little things. And when one
of YOU helps another or says a kind
word when n fellow member is in
need of aid or little announcement.
the whole community is benefited, for
each of you is a unit and the strength
of the whole town depends upon the
strength and ability to do of its con-
stituents."
Mr.. Stackpole spoke optimistically
of the ability of the country to weather
any storm, no matter what the future
may hold in that respect. and he said
that in the trying times through which
the business of the country to-day is
passing businessmen are being tenn
pered in the hot fire of preparedness
for any future, no matter how trying
it may prove. Corporation is the
keynote of the hour, he said. and cited
the recent getting together of Root
ana Roosevelt as an example.

The absence of any official news
from the front since the defeat of the
Villa bandits near Guerrero has con-
