In accordance with his instructions,
l am not at liberty to encourage the
formation of a club in any city having
a population of less than $4,000 ac-
cording to that census.
Personally, have my doubts of the
probability of success for Rotary clubs
in the smaller cities. They haven't
the facilities for meetings such as the
clubs have in the larger cities. The
men almost invariably go home to
luncheon and the Rotary club is sup
posed to De a luncheon club once a
week.
On of the practical methods of
bringing success to a Rotary club is
the promotion of acquaintance. There
is no opportunity to promote acquain
tanee if the members are already in
timately acquainted and there is no
snap or sparkle to the club. Besides
all these things, there is the fact that
as a result of fellowship in the club,
business results. 1t is not an obliga-
tion, but it is an inevitable result
Everybody else in town Tin small
city, known about it and there is
jealousy on the part of the people
outside of the club. Such jealousy is
unwarranted. but it is troublesome
These are some of the reasons why
you will have to excuse me from even
submitting to Division Vice President
Olson and President Grenier the pro-
posal of a Rotary club at Wausau, in
accordance with my Instructors"
Mr. Prehn believed in the old adage.
''If at first you do not succeed. try. try
again. and awaited favorable op-
portunity to press his claims further
In the summer of 1914. International
Rotary held its annual convention in
Houston, Texas. and elected Frank L.
Mulholland for its president. Mr..
Prehn again asked for the installation
of a Rotary club here. The new Of
ficers. for time, were under the i'm
preston that there was not enough
diversifcation of business and pro-
fessionaI interests here to warrant
granting the request. 1t was, however.
proven to their satisfaction that there

Duct my affairs that others in my vo-
cation may find it wise, profitable and
conclusive to happiness to emulate My
example.
Sixth: To conduct my business in
such manner that I may give per-
feet service equal to or even better
than my competitor, and when in
doubt to give added service beyond
the strict measure of debt or obliga-
tion
Seventh: To understand that one of
the greatest. assets of professional
or of business man is his friends and
that any advantage gained by reason of
friendship is eminently ethical and
proper.
Eighth: To hold that true friends
demand nothing of one another and
that any abuse of the confidence of
friendship for profit is foreign to the
spirit of Rotary. and in violation of
its Code of Ethics.
Ninth: TO consider no personal sue
cess legitimate or ethical which is Sc
cured by taking unfair advantage of
certain opportunities in the social or
der that are absolutely denied others,
nor will l take advantage of oppor-
tunities to achieve material success
that others will not take because of the
questionable morality involved.
Tenth: To be not more obligated
to a Brother Rotarian than | am to
every other man in human society;
because the genius of Rotary is not
III its competition but in its co-opera-
ton; for provincialism can never have
a place in an institution like Rotary,
and Rotarians assert that Human
Rights are not confined to Rotary
clubs but are as deep and as broad
as the race itself; and for these high
purposes does Rotary exist to edu-
cate all men and all institutions.
Eleventh.: Finally, believing in the
universally of the Golden Rule, "All
Things Whatsoever Ye Would That
Men Should Do Unto You, Do Ye Even
So Unto Them," we contend that So
ciety best holds together when equal

The Rotary Code of Ethics

For business men of all lines adopt
ed by the Sixth Annual convention of
the International Association of Ro-
tary Clubs at San Francisco, July
1928, 1915:
My business standards shall have
in them note of sympathy for our
common humanity My business deal
ings, ambitions and relations shall
always cause me to take into consider
alton my highest duties as member of
society. In every position in business
life, in every responsibility that comes
before me. my chief thought shall be
to fill that responsibility and discharge
that duty so when have ended each
of them. l shall have lifted the level
of human ideals and achievements a
little higher than / found them In
view of this your committee holds that
fundamental in a code of trade ethics
for International Rotary are the fol-
lowing principles:
First: To consider my vocation
worthy. and as affording me distinct
opportunity to serve society.
Second: To improve myself. in
crease my efficiency and enlarge my
service. and by so doing attest my
faith in the fundamental principles OF
Rotary. that he profits most who
serves best.
Third: To realize that am a busi-
ness man and ambitious to succeed
but that am first an ethical man and
wish no success that is not founded on
the. highest justice and morality.s
Fourth: To hold that the exchange
of my goods. my service and my ideas
for profit is legitimate and ethical
provided that all parties in the ex.
change are benefited thereby.

elevate the standards Of the vocation

w. ID. K0ll0ck, Patient at st. Michaefs
Hospital, Has Sudden Change
For Better.

w. d. Kollock, prominent farmer
in the town of Almond and one of
Portage countys most esteemed citi-
zens, was brought to the local hos
pital last week in an unconscious con-
dition and was in such condition prac-
tically all the time since until last
evening, when a decided change for
the better took place. Mr.. Kollock
suffered a paralytic stroke or hem
orrhage of the brain, brought on by
the ran-down physical condition he
had been in for several weeks.
Nearly all of Tuesday he seemed in
a sinking condition and il seemed that
his death was only a matter Of mo-
ments, but in the early evening a
great Improvement came about and
while he is by no means yet out of
danger, there is good encouragement
for a full recovery.
Mrs Kollock and Misses Louise and
Florence Kollock have been with their
husband and father almost constantly,
and were joined this week by the pa

Wausau Rotary Club

The Rotary club of Wausau has ex-
ceeded the expectations of its most
ardent advocates, in its growth; in its
endeavors to better the conditions of
our city; to promote more sociability
among its basiness men and to give
more publicity in municipal affairs.
Rotarians meet in Wausau three
times each month and thoroughly en-
joy the opportunity of getting together
and they are now able to call each
other by their first names in terms of
familiarity. Rotary has done this and
far more; it is educating its members
to be able to think and give express
sion to their thoughts while standing
The addresses made by the best in
formed men on subjects in which they
are experts, has broadened and
strenthened the views of all beyond
calculation. 1t was these possibilities
for good which, first attracted the at
-tention of Arthur W. Prehn, an attor-
ney of Wausau, to Rotaryism. In 1913
Mr. Prehn was a member of the Pana-
ma-Pacific Exposition Commission of
Wisconsin and during the month of
August of that year, the members of
the commission made a trip to San
Francisco to locate site for the Wis
consin building. They were enter
tanned enroute by the Rotary clubs of
San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Die
go and Minneapolis. Upon Mr.. Prehn's
return to Wausau he was a thorough
Rotary enthusiast. With a view of
securing alocal organization he wrote
to Garret C. de Heus, president of the
Milwauke Rotary club and also to
the International officers of Rotary.
On the 21st day of April, 1914, Mr..
Prehn received a reply from Chesley
r. Perry, International Secretary of
Rotary, which was not all encourag-
ing. The secretary said in part:
"I regret to have to state that it is
my duty to turn down the suggestion
of Wausau as proper place for the
establishment of a Rotary club. Pres
ident Grenier has taken positive
stand on the matter of discouraging
the organization of clubs in smaller
cities, and having to draw the line
somewhere, he has done it on the
United States census reports of 1910.

Otto Kluetz, whose chief petition was
for "backer." Will Davenport was a
representative of the impudent, black

'furrin" tramp of the quack doctor
stripe, with considerable pretentions
to style. especially as to his tall hat
and the cut of his whiskers. The
grandfather of all the tramps, with
long, gray locks, ragged beard, rusty
old-tail coat, "umbrel" and a lunch

which the other tramps helped him
to dispose of, was present and it was
long time before it was generally
known that he was Dave Parcher.

Rotary believes in the eloquence OF

to loquacity as some. Rotary is active
in charitable and civic movements.
Rotarians believe that work is bless

pride one takes in his business is de-
pendent upon the standards of honor
by-which it is conducted. To elevate

tells what Rotary really is in the fol-
lowing:
TO the world in general Rotary
clubs are organizations to member
ships in which only one representa-
tive Of each business and profession is
eligible. Many who are not Rotarians
are content TO let the matter rest there.
Others, more analytical, indulge in
conjecture as to the reason of the lin
ited representation. and generally con
clude that Rotary clubs are organiza-
uons for mutual benefit in the way of
business exchange. Nothing can be
farther from the truth than the as
sumption that members of Rotary
clubs are obligated by law, written
or unwritten, to patrouize each other:
IN TACT some Of the best and most en-
thusiastic Rotarians are in lines of
trade which could not be benefited by
the patronage Of fellow members and
the rank and file of Rotarians are of
too large caliber to be materially in
haenced by such considerations.
