 explaining the idea secured the cooper ation and help of Dr. France in laying the foundation for the first club of the present Kiwanis organization.
 MEETING IN JANUARY, 1915
 In January of 1915 a meeting was held in the office of Warren O. Rob- ertson by MT, Browne, at which six other business men of Detroit were present and Dr. c. A. Reed was elected president and MT Robertson secretary of the budding institution. MT. Browne, being retained as organizer, he was re- quested to secure a name, and through the courtesy and with the aid of c. M. Burton, the word "Kiwanis" was form ulated from the Chippewa Indian phrase, Nun kee-wan-nis," meaning. "I trade,' was adopted as the club name. series of noon hour meetings were commenced in February. at the first of which Donald A. Johnston spoke
 of the subject of Life Insurance From
 the Layman's Standpoint" In March,
 Dr. Reed, having resigned, MT. John
 ston was elected to succeed him as
 president of the Detroit organization.
 At this time no thought had been
 given to the formation of a national
 organization, it being rather an idea
 which was considered of purely local
 benefit. MT. Browne. however having
 built the Detroit club to a memb ershop
 of oximately 300 and having seen the great possibilities of the inter- change of ideas and business between cities became an enthusiast for ex-
 pansion; he proceeded to the city ot

Cleveland. O., where, on August 1, 1915, he secured the application of Attorney William J. Hawley former friend and business associate. This was followed, a few days later with the application of E. c. Forbes, and about the middle of the month of August the first meet ing of the Kiwanis club of Cleveland was held in MT. Hawley's office with 15 members present. During August and September the membership grew stead fly and the national idea having been preached by MT Browne to the board of directors of the Cleveland club, and they being in sympathy with the move ment. it was suggested that corpora : tion or parent organization be formed under the laws of Ohio to issue char ters to subsidiary clubs Subsequently the articles of incorporation were drafted, signed by w. J. Hawley, Ralph H. McQuat, George w. owen, w. o. Robertson, formerly secretary of De- troit, and MT. Browne, and on Septem- Der Is, 1915, the charter was granted by the state of Ohio.
 It was about this time that the names of Oscar F. Alexander and James B. Shields were presented and accepted in the Cleveland club and the former elected president and the latter dele gate to the parent association. In Oc- tober the incorporators met with the representatives of the Cleveland club and James B. Shields was elected pres ident of the parent corporation

By ALLEN s. BROWNE,
 Buffalo, N. Y.

The history of the Kiwanis organ ization is but the recounting of the growth of an ideal which, having had It's inception in the mind of one man has become in the short space, of three years, an important factor in the busi- ness life of the United States and Can ada and which bids fair, in a short time, to encircle the entire globe.
 For many years Allen S. Browne of Buffalo. N. r., served in the capacity of organizer for number of fraternal organizations, and while engaged in that capacity, from the chance remarks of many business and professional men, he became convinced that their real purpose in affiliating with such or ganizations was the furtherance of their acquaintance with other desira- ble business men, the development of their business and a desire for knowl- edge of their methods pursued in the successful upbuilding of other trades and professions
 With this in mind, late in the year, 1914, MT. Browne, having severed his fraternal connections, determined to ex- pertinent in the forma tion of a club or association having as its basic prin- cip1es the interchange of business and the business ideas, mutual aid and as- sistance and a fellowship, not based on strictly fraternal lines. Therefore. in December, 1914, he called upon Joseph

HISTORY OF THE KIWANLS MOVEMENT

MT. Browne determined next to or
 ganize in the city of Pittsburg, Pa as
 he received several invitations from
 prominent business firms in that city
 This, the third Kiwanis club, was satis-
 factorily completed on the first of Jan uary. 1916, and MT. Browne, in his ca pacity as national organizer, com menced planning for a more rapid ex- tention of the organization. Having secured the services of deputies. work was commenced in Rochester, N Y,
 Buffalo. N. r., Lockport, N. Y, Co., 1 lumbus, O., Chicago, Ill., Boston, Mass
 and New York city.
 From this time on the progress of the organization has been little short of phenomenal. In April, 1916, MT Browne
 returned to the city of Cleveland to
 attend one of their meetings, and 1t was suggested by MT. Alexander that the time was ripe for the formation of a permanent organization. He requested that the Cleveland secretary should issue call for the convention and with the usual promptness of the Cleveland board of directors under the leadership of MT. Alexander, an invi- tation was issued to the 24 existing clubs requesting that they send dele gates on May IS, 1916.
 All of the clubs then in existence were prompt in their response and early in May. t/e 18th. James B. Shields presiding, the first convention of Ki- wanis clubs met in executive session. The first business to come up for con sideration was the adoption of a na- tional constitution, and a committee of five having been appointed from among the delegates by the presiding officer.
 they reported the national constitution and bylaws under which the assoca- tion acted for the next ensuing two
 years. This constitution provided, brief 1y, for a per capita tax of 25c per an-
 mum per member; for the election of a
 president. three vice presidents, a sec- retary and a treasurer and seven trus- tees, all of whom should constitute a
 national board of guidance for Xii wanis. AS all delegates present were largely strangers to each other spirit ed contest for the presidency was waged, but George E. Hixon of Roch- ester N. Y, won on the final count The vice presidents elected were Perry $. Patterson of Chicago, Charles D Heald of Dayton. O., and L. H. Gra- ham of New York City. The secretary selected at this convention was Albert Dodge of the Buffalo Kiwanis club; the
 balance of the board, John B. Martin of Pittsburg, B. G. Watson of Columbus, O.; James V. Meeker of Akron, O.;

Memphis, Tenn n--'The world cotton

Mr.. Bullard is manager of the indus

on May Is, 1919, went to Europe to
invite the foreign delegates to the New

This is particularly the case in the lat

seed selection and in cultivation.
For US in America it is little short
of an economic crime to raise cotton

amount from an inferior staple.

theory that 11,0O0OOO bales at high
