wore the smile that never wears off
when he rose amid the applause. He

man grinned appreciatively when the
CHIEF mentioned the good old days
when Charley was just devil"

Rotary Sheet. that is fact!
THE Rotary idea"
The Rotary idea is being carried
out after all, "Stackie" said. on the
Telegraph. The idea of usefulness
and helpfulness and cooperation is

to the. chance that has been offered

"Wing Dinger" Wins Dings

rectly upon advertising, 1t was more
of talk about the relation of adver-

mentioned the fact that some addi-
tional equipment had recently been in

$4,000 to save five minutes of time!
| Boyd told some real inside facts about
the costs of advertising, of the way the
rates are fixed.

Loud cries for Jim" Mccullough
were let out then. Jim" tried to hide
but they dragged him up front and he
made little speech.
Ed" Herman was the next speaker
He declared he considered it a duty
and "a privilege to say a word of ap-
probation for the Telegraph" Then
Ed" went back some thirty-odd
years as he remembered when his
friend, 'Stackie" just came to town. In

he find the 'ad' of the j. C. Herman

In the Telegraph? That's why I'm so
glad, fellow Rotarians, to say a word
of appreciation for my friend Stack

Ask En-!
The reference Ed. made to the
Chiefs early dreams of being a bands
man, reminded the Chief of a story of
that band. Did the Rotarians appre-
