A BEAUTIFUL CITY
New Rotary Club President
Says Plant Trees and
Flowers; Make Parks.

Flowers; Make Parks.
| Plant trees and flowers, build park
ways and boom the scenic driveway
were two OF the things urged upon
Rotarians by Dr. r L Ramey. the
/ new president. at his installation Thurs
day at the regular weekly luncheon
Of the club.
I'VE now have a membership or lou
. leading business men Of the city and
feel sorry sometimes that we are not
able TO take in many other good men
who would like to join and who wouId
be OF benefit to US and we 10 tnem'
were il possible" said he
Rotary, in my opinion, Is destined
to be one Of the most influential or
CARNATIONS throughout this country 1t
has for Its object principally; the eNu-
cation OF its mem bers in all lines OF
business. 1t is an education that you
cannot acquire at college
ITO have some well known business
man once week tell about the origin
and growth Of his business from the
ground up. how il IS conducted What
his expenditures are and what econ
Omies he has TO practice, elc-i is j
practical education that you can not
get from books. Then, too, II Is our
intention, as il has been in the past,
to have the ablest men in the city ad-
dress the club occasionally on different
subjects. as well as hear men OF ma
iOnal reputation who visit the city
.TPIant Trees
There are things VIC can do TO help
our city. For instance If every Ro-
tartan would make IL his duty 10 plant
trees and flowers and cultivate them,
and urge the building Of beaul-
ful parkways and streets ana ny 70
get his neighbOr TO do likewise. he Will
have done much for his city. And, 1
believe. we would have the support OF
every public spirited citizen in this
matter Of Improvement
we have the best climate in the
United States, with a maximum amount
Of sunshine. Thousands Of people leave
the east yearly and come west TO seek
a better climate and a more desirable
place 10 live. If we make our city at
tractive. there is no reason why many
OF these people, who have heretofore
gone 10 Denver. Colorado Springs. Los
Angeles and san Antonio, viii not come
10 Fl PasO and help TO make this the
fastest growing city in America
On Preparedness.
Just one word about preparedness
We have Just witnessed the greatest
parade that was ever seen in Il PasO
There is not a business man here who
does not believe in preparedness, I am
sure-preparedness in every sense OF
the word The principal teaching OF
Rotary is efficiency-Which is pre-
paredness. That is why we have these
get-tOgether meetings. once a week
to perfect a higher state OF efficiency
in every line Of work No less then
should We believe in preparedness for
our government. not only from q mill
tary standpoint. but from an educa-
tional and commercial one Prepared
ness does not mean war The United
States is the only first class nation on
earth today that has not the war fever
and / trust she will not contract IL.

Mexico, it viii be MeXicO's fault and
for the sake Of protection and hu-
manity- II is difficult 10 see how this
can be much longer avoided"
Concluding DR.. Ramey referred to
the things the club has done and said

Of Mines scholarship as an annual at
1aW and that he wanted 10 see the
members work hard TO continue the
efforts already put forth in behalf or
the scenic driveway
