NEWLY FORMED
kIWANIS CLUB
Gets CHARTER
Fifty Members in Organize
ton to Promote Good
Fellowship Trading.

Fifty members Of the newly formed
Kiwanis club, a fratetrnal and bust
ness association, formed for mutual
good fellowship and business extern
sion among it's members, only one of
whom are taken from any trade, bust
ness or profession, met in The STRAIT
field last night to receive their char
ter.
F After the members enjoyed a
hearty banquet served in the break
fast room, this charter with the good
wishes Of Providence and New Haven
clubs which had been installed this
week was presented in a speech by
George F. Hixson, international presi-
dent of the Kiwanis clubs, about 80
in number throughout the United
States. Mr.. Hixson came from Ro-
chester, N. Y. to deliver the charter.
He was assisted by international
Organizer Allen s. Browne, Of Buffalo,
N. Y, originator of the ,Kiwanis idea
and Deputy Organizer H. E. Jameson
President A. M. Englehard Of the
Bridgeport Kiwanis club. acted as
postmaster and introduced the guests
and officers Of the local club.
Following a unique roll call in
which the members introduced them
selves and guests to the assembly with
witty and succinct remarks, President
Hixson called attention to the fact
that ethics in business was the chief
asset Of the merchant today. He ad-
vised expulsion from membership of
those not paying theor debts or at
tempting to take unethical advantage
Of their fellow members, in line with
the derivation of the word Kiwanis
from the Chippewah tongue, meaning
an honest trader as we'll as man
having good time.
Incidentally he told all members
that as business is the backbone of
any nation, it is up to the business
men Of this community to keep things
moving in the impending war crisis.
In Canada he related that great en-
terprises are now run on a minimum
scale by the forcefu1 men Of that
country, under distressing conditions.
Should the same conditions confront
America, Business must be pursued
with the confidence Of success" he
said.
President Eng1ehard- Of the local
club recommended that Bridgeporters
patronize their home industry to
greater extent than in the past, saying
that Bridgeport people were too prone
to buy in New orkecity. He hoped
that the Kiwanis idea would bring
about a sense of civic pride which, he
said, now seemed to be lacking here.
A handsome gift in the form Of
stick pin was presented to President
Hixson Of Rochester, N. Y. Greetings
and congratulations to the Newark, N.
j., Kiwanis club, which will he institut-
ed today. were sent by the local or
ganization.

It is expected that. the duke Of the
Abruzzi, cousin of King Victor En-
manuel, will head an Italian mission
to the United States.
The name of the Duke Of the
Abruzzi, who. takes his title from a
district Of Italy, is as we'll known
to Americans, probably, as that of any
other European royalty. Several
years ago he figured extensively in
the newspapers as 'suitor for the
hand of Miss Katherine Elkins,
daughter Of Senator Elkins Of West
Virginia. She is now Mrs. Hit. but
the duke has remained unmarried. He
has commanded the Italian navy and

and mountain climber.

AN IDLE DIALOG
BY ELLIS o. JONES.

An Idle Poor Man met an Idle Rich
Man and asked him for assistance, but
the Idle Rich Man was impatient. He
tried 10 brush the other aside and pass
on.
"out of my way, you lump of use
solicit aims. Why don't you go TO
work ?"
why don't you give me work."
done"
but there is work that want
done" retorted the Idle Poor Man,
''and ! am willing to do it myself if
! only had the opportunity"
"Oh, yes" contemptuously replied
that before. There is plenty of work
If you would only do II. | don't be-
lieve you want to work"
"Of course | don't"
"Ah, ha, thought So"

the Idle Poor Man

replied the other.
'Ah. ha, thought So" Knocked the
Idle Poor Man.

said the Idle Rich Man.

Idle Poor Man.
"No. But came by it honestly
enough. 1t was left to me by my IA
ther."

my poor dcluded friend" responded
the Idle Rich Man in n fatherly tone,
Il am really doing you great favor
in thus arguing with you. but ! must
say your knowledge Of political econ
omy is exceedingly limited. i may be
true that do no work myself, but by
spending my money l make work for
others which is Of great social value
"Yes, you make work for servants
and bootblacks and chauffeurs and
valets and gardeners and diamond-cut-
ters and many others. but you take
good care that none of them shall
make work for you. Your theory is
all wrong. There is no virtue in max
ing work for others to clean up. But
even IL that were the test, / still main
tain that you are no better than /. /,

perhaps you do. but of n different
kind"
Work is work. II is impossible to
place certain values upon different
kinds of work." said the Idle Poor
Man. "As matter of fact, the work
ers / create are quite as much hon
ored and respected rs those arising
thru you. | am problem, l am. a
regular problem. As such i require
the attention Of real thinkers. or at

cians and learned sociologists and set
tlement workers and charity organiza-
tions and rcformers and politicians and
policemen and orators and writers and
goodness knows who all. / am sure
you have no monopoly on making
work. II seems to me that the only
difference between us as shown by this
argument is a difference in the matter
Of honesty"
And OF course you are the more
honest" declared the Idle Rich Man
sarcastically.
Honesty is so largely n subjective
matter" responded the Idle Poor Man,
''that l am quite sure we could never
agree on that point"

Chamber to Discuss County Agent Question

will likely go on record as favorable
to or opposed to the naming OF a
Whitman agent.
The county commissioners are Civ
ing the matter no little thought at
the present time and are DESTROYS of
securing expressions of sentiment on
the matter from all parts of the
county and from farmers and bust
ness men alike. Gatherings of farm
ers and citizens at Rosalia, Garfield
and other places in the county have
already endorsed the proposition and
efforts will be made to ascertain the
sentiment of the majority of the tax
payers of the county before final
action is. taken by the commissioners.
1t is hardly probable that the
county heads could finance the mat
ter at the present time, but provision
could be made in next years budget
and the appointment asked next fall
If the commissioners find that the
majority of the people favor the ap-
pointment of an agent.
