Abraham Lincoln typified the Ro- ericanism. He gave us this business rule for 1920: q am net bound to win, but l am bound to be true. am not bound to succeed, but 1 anu bound to live up to what light 1 have" All of Rotary is there and it is Rotary's duty to increase the light.
 The public is the boss of everyone who goes beyond his own threshold, and to some extent, within his thres- hold. The public makes or breaks us, according as we serve 1t, and cervice rendered is the cause, and re- ward obtained, the effect.
 Character and the confidence it be- gets, good will and the trade that it brings, are the only solid assets of good methods, but the public can always take it back

Texan Matches 20
 Horses in Strength

Lubbock, Tex, March 23.-"Stout" Jackson, a young farmer who moved to Lubbock recently from Vinyard Tex, lays claim to the title as the strongest man in the world. Altho he weighs only 155 pounds he per- forms herculean feats by the power full muscles of his arms hands and other parts of his body. He has demons trated that he has the strength of 20 horses in pulling abili- ty. He trots along with an automo- bile with the greatest east when hitched to the vehicle. Without display of any great effort he pulls against team of horses and drags them about at his will. With his powerful hands he can break a two inch manila rope as though it were cotton twine. Placing a bar of iron one-i9ch thick beEwee nhis teeth he bends it double withona any dis play of effort. Taking a large, long iron spike between his hands he gives it a twist and converts it into a staple. With one stroke of his fist he drives nails through inch blanks. He can lift as many men as are able to climb upon his back, his greatest feat if this kind.being the lifting of 9 combined weight of 3,756 pounds of men.
 The outward appearances Jackson does not seem to be abnormally de- veloped. His great strength came to him without any systematic train | ing He was the wonder of his old -community at Vinyard and is attract ing much attention on the part of the people of Lubbock.

Americans Eating Less Beef, More
 Veal and Mutton

Washington, March 23.-High re. tail prices in 1919 reduced the per capita consumption of beef in Amer ca almost eight pounds, and caused the consumers to turn mere frequent ly to veal and mutton. according to a statement by the department of agriculture. Slightly less pork was eaten, but the total consumption of pork products was much larger than in 19l7 and the exports of pork and lard were greater than ever shown in the records of the department
 The total meat consumption was less than in 1918, the per capita for 1918 being 150.08 and that in 1919 141.98.
 Beef exports were shown to have fallen of 56.8 per cent, but the ship ments of pork and lard to foreign ports showed great increase. The exports wer quivalnt to 18,000,000, hogs wighing 200 pounds each. Less pork and lard were consumed in America, but the number of hogs slaughtered was million more than in 1918.
 Reduction in foreign orders was the heaviest blow received by the bee industry. Exports declined 56 < per cent from the previous year. The department attributed this to the re- turn of European countries to the cheaper sources of supply in South America and Australia. The de crease in foreign orders for beef was so large as to bring the total meat production in America 4 per cent low supplying a great part of the Euro ipean market.
 ! Figures supplies by the department show the American people ate more veal and mutton than during the wa
 but the epr capita consumption ot fgoat meat, never large, was only 0.Oe per cent.

the instruments for better distribu tion of human welfare.
 Service demands the least indirec- tion, and the fewest go-hetweens.
 If we do our duty as Rotarians; as real citizens of a representative dem ocracy in all our various relationships and particularly with employe and customer, is there need for outside organizations with added tax and h8mpcring limitations on ability and aspiration?
 Be square with your co-workers; make them realize you are square. Unless they know, unless their view point is right, you and they will be losers. If workers think right, they act right. There is one thing they must know: "It is work well done that determines earning power"
 Now. think over these notions:
 livery city with Rotary club has q chamber of commerce or busi- ness mems organization, to member ship in which every reputable citi- en is eligible. This is the demo- cratic business organization of the community, and should be potent and progressive institution. Every tt0IdfldH SHoulu De all dCliNc lheHt- Der of this home organizations; it should really be one of the condi- tions precedent to his membership in Rotary.
 2-Busness as well as Rotary ethics forbid any effort to conner cialize Rotary, and the old idea of Rotary "statisicians" is dead However, one cannot help but feel that there is a fine, high minded, fraternal throb back of the sugges ton of Walter Burton, president of the Brooklyn (New York) Rotary club. In the Weekly Letter of De- cember 8 we read: Any reader who knows of a Rotarian who can handle all or any part of a contract for 100000 phonograph cabinets (total order about $3,000,000) would render real Rotary service by wiring Wal ter C. Burton.'
 3-Nothing we need to know quite so much as the facts about our selves. The first thing a 'busi- ness man wants is an inventory. It has occurred to us that every Rotary club would be greatly interested in a census or inventory of it's members ship, which would indicate the reach and notifications of Rotary, and it's

self the voice of the entire com munity on questions of general i'm portance, but it's action on such questions is of great influence in advancing the civic and business welfare of the community.
 The Rotary club demands fair dealings, honest methods, and high standards in business. No obliga- tion, actual or implied, to influence business exists in Rotary. Election to membership therein is an express sion of confidence of the club in the member elected, and of it's good will toward him. As his business is an expression of himself, he is expect ed actively to represent it.
 Membership in the Rotary club is a privilege and an opportunity, and it's responsibility demands honest and efficient service and thoughtful ness for ones fellows.

The Rotary Platform.

Recognizing the commercial basis of modern life as a necessary incl dent in human evolution the Rotary club is organized to express that proper relation between private in- terests and the fusion of private in- terests which constitutes society.
 To accomplish this purpose more effectively, the principle of limited and representative mem bership has been adopted, the Rotary club con- sisting of one representative from each distinct line of business of pro- fession. Each member is benefited by contact with representative men and is enabled thereby to meet more intelligently the responsibilities of civic and business life.
 The basis of club membership in sures the representa- tion of all in- terests and the domination of none in the consideration of public ques- tions relating to business. On ac- count of it's limited membership the Rotary club does not constitute it.
