ROTARY is SERVICE
Service Ono of Three Greatest Words
in Life, Doctor Estey Saws.

Faith, hope and service are the
three great words of life that world
he good motto for every man and
woman" DR.. S. s. Estey told the R,-
tarians Sunday night in his sermon on
the topic. THE Motto of Gods Attn
letes' Rotarians and their wives
were the guests at the special service
in their honor at the First Presbvter-
ian church.
That Rotary means unselfish sery-
ice to mankind is a definition univer-
sally accepted in the organization. -
Doctor Estey said. ITO minister and
not be ministered unto is one of the
great teachings of Jesus Christ and
can be well taken as the motto that
has made many men and women ia
nous. Business men find after long
years of bitter experience that the
road to success lies only in the giving
of good service to every customer. No
man ever became a hero by doing
things for himself, but the men who
have been honored in history spent
their whole time in service for
others"

The Retail Booksellers association
of Kansas, according to H. H Bair of
the Bair Book & Stationery company,
has decided to continue its past policy
of asking cash for school books. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Bair, granting credit
for school books does not pay The
profit on them is not above 10 per

would only be Z or cents. If it is
necessary to make several trip to col
iect such an account, or pay postage

people with children know that
school books are an inevitable expense
and ought to look forward to it, Barr
said. He cited an instance of one man

The cost of school books is not so
heavy as many people imagine: 1t
costs but AZ cents to start child N
the first grade and 95 cents is the cost
for the second year The cost Tor the
third years is rs cents. This includes
everything. Some of the necessary
materials can be used more than one
