WHEN 1T IS COMPLETE SOME
THING WORTH WHILE TO PEN
SACOLA WILL BE ACCOM-
PLISHED.

When, little over year ago the
Pensacola Rotary Club was formed,
banquet given and many speeches
made predicting the glowing results
that would be obtained by this asso-
citation, those citizens, sometimes
termed Knockers" who can see no
good in any such movement, openly
predicted that cit will live for a few
months and then be dropped"
But the Rotary Club has lived. Not
only has it lived, but has grown and
thrived and today is looked upon as
one of the very live civic organiza-
tons of the city. 1t is all that il
should be and is growing in useful
ness and influence with each day.
The reason is that there is need for
just such an association of business
men and good citizens as compose
the Rotary Club of Pensacola. It
brings together each week those who
are working for the upbuilding and
betterment of the city. They are all
interested-have that community
spirit and are bound together by ties
that make for success.
A Rotary Club is supposed to take
up one proposition and continue
pounding at it until success is achiev-
ed. They talk of many things al
their meetings-things that pertain
to the public good-and there are nc
selfish motives behind these talks, fol-
a Rotarian, when he becomes imbued
with the spirit, is just what the
names implies-a Rotarian, and this
means everything for the good of the
community in which he resides.
But it was many months before the

CHARLIE MANN, PIE
AND FORMING ROTARY

Itseerns that Charlie Mann, during
his travels, was one day invited to a
Rotary luncheon. Perhaps they had
the chicken pie that Charlie likes SO
much, or perhaps he was impressed
by the gathering, but nevertheless, G.
III. always talked about that fine meal
he had.
He talked it so much to alphabet
cal" that Smith began ASKING ques-
tions and as Charlie could not answer
them all, he sent to Chicago for the
information, so that he could. By
this time Bah quit driving his horse
long enough to get in the game and
our three heroes carefully digested
the information when it arrived.
The information did not say any
thing about Mann's chicken pie, but
It did tell about such big things that
Jitney Hanlon and Bill Fisher were
called upon to join the fold. 1t seems
that Bill had already written to Chi
cago, figuring before the others had
that Rotary would be a good thing
for Pensacola.

business. They made one or two hor-
rible mistakes, such as asking two il

worked on it enough to give US few
mosquitoes less. The pure milk law
was due to the persistent efforts of
the Rotary club. Senator Bryan was
entertained by the Rotary club and
before they got through with him,
he promised to do his best at once for
an aero station for Pensacola. We
got the aero station. The assistance
of Rotarians in the Y. NJ. G. A. was
very beneficial as was their help to
the Pearl Eagan Home and several
other institutions.

been in existence and considering
that it takes time not only to do
things, but to learn how to do them, is
there any other Pensacola organiza-
ton that has accomplished more?

Volunteers of America

The first society of the Volunteers
of America was organized twenty
years ago today. March 9, 1896, by
Darlington Booth, the son of Gen.
William Booth. In leaving the par
emit organization and launching new
and similar movement, Darlington
Booth was said to have been animated
by desire for a greater freedom of
movement, more local self-control and
a lesser social restriction to classes,
corresponding to the democratic or
ganization of American society. The
Volunteers, like the parent body,
adopted a military discipline and
methods of work, but the govern
ment is democratic and is vested in
the grand field council, composed of
the officers of or above the rank of
major One of the most important
branches of Volunteer activity is the
prison work now carried on in more
than fifty prisons under the direct
of Mrs. Darlington Booth,
who has earned the title of Angel of
the Prisons The Hope Halls con-

Cop When He Grows Up,

Until last night, shortly after a
train from Bridgeport arrived at the
Grand Central station, Charles
Wright, aged 10 years, of rs Colorado
avenue, believed that New York
policeman was about the finest thing
in the world and he already had his
mind made up to be one as soon as
he grew up. Now, however, he has
changed his mind and is going to be
a fireman instead. This important
New York policeman betrayed him
last night and he has to come back
to Bridgeport today.
Charles made $3.50 shove1ling

ton of this great wealth wanderlust

went for a ticket to New York. He
must have spent IL cents recklessly
on the train for candy and other lux
uries for he only had 70 cents when
he arrived.
He waited in front of the station
for half an hour for the procession
to pass, but it seemed to have no end,

Our Heroes

" s it not strange that our two Amer
 ican heroes were not only born in the same month, but that both should hold the same strong views against slavery.
 Lincoln's aversion we know full well, and how he abolished slavery every one of you has studied in school; but Washingtons feelings on the sub- ject were not so public, but were as deep. He was master of many slaves. and very sympathetic one he was, but he did not approve of slavery for all that. This is what he has said on the subject: "I wish from my soul that my State might be per- suaded to abolish slavery. It might prevent much future mischief"
 We all know that Lincoln was as kind and gentle as woman to his interiors, and to those in distress, but most of us think of Washington as cold and stern in manner, always courteous, but never intimate. Those who have written his life from inti- mate association with him say that he was so gentle and kindly in his bearing that all classes, especially the young people of his time, were irresis- tibly drawn toward him. Beside his in- nate courtesy, Washington had the virtues of bravery, honor, kindness and filial obedience.

Lincoln s Birthplace

COME day some of you may travel
 to Kentucky, and there in Hodg- - enville, you will see not only Abraham Lincoln's first home but a memorial building erected to his memory. Of course we love every thing that relates to Lincoln, and therefore we feel very grateful to those who contributed money so that his homely log cabin, and the farm on which it stood, would be preserved
 We talk of '1og cabins and the Western part of the United States" and the Indians and the wild beasts that inhabited the West 100 years ago" without fully realizing the true conditions that surrounded Lincoln s babyhood and youth.
 Children, try to realize the differ ence between your homes, be they ever so humble, and the log cabin in which our beloved Abraham Lincoln was born, a little over one hundred years ago.
 Read his life, study his noble char acter, and try to emulate the actions of this great American.
 February is full of important birth days, it is a red-letter month for births in American history.
