OF Mr.. Hoover we know only the record OF
his world service and the sound Of his recent
public utterances Although a native Of this
country, he has not resided in it for any long
time 1t is alleged that his interest in politics
may be measured by the fact that he has cast
his vote for but one presidential candidate; and
no one seems to be certain as to the leanlngs OF
his political convictions, if he has any Of the
latter. He strikes us as man who has had his
head in the sky, as others also have during the
last few years, but who differs from others who
have reached to the sky in the fact that he has
never lost his footing on the earth. Our hori-
zon is full OF sky-danglers-som hanging from
clouds-2f pure humaneness; some from golden

SHOW WILLIMANTIC MEN WHAT ROTARY LS

Rotary, said MT. Hammond, is chiefly educational end inspirational, dedicated to developing the best there is n US membership. Rotary brings out the iae- ent qualities in the man through the sim ple process of rubbing elbows With ms felloWnaan Some think that Rotary club ana a Chamber 1f Commerce ale op- posed, but this is entirely wrong A fto- tary club in any city where there is Chamber of Commerce is an asset to the chamber, The Rotarians in many places are members of the Chamber ot Com- merce and the two bodies work CO., ordinately along the same lines anc on the same problems for the welfare of the community Rotary is not a fad or cult or political organization but an organlza- ton endowed with the principle Of the brotherhood of man. It is what people put into it, and on this we draw interest A Rotary club in any city is an asset 10 the community. Go to it, boys!
 Following MT. Hammond's talk, Wi!- liam Clark of the New London club also spoke of the spirit of Rotary bringing forth the fact tkat Rotary is the greatest factor in the world for bringing a man out of himself and making him man man. 1t builds a spirit of square and level business dealings among its mem- bers and in So doing benefits the Whole business world. Rotary is one of the grandest principles in the world to tie to. Benjamin Marshall president of Con- recticut College for Women, was the next speaker Dr. Marshall said that much of his work had been of the Amen kind and that now he most heartily said amen to all that MT. Hammond and MT Clark | had said. I can only add, he said, that 1T my experience with Rotary l have found that Rotary is founded on the principles 1 of democracy, wholesomeness, simplicity

MORE PROSPERITY IN SIGHT.
Slowing Up of Business Healthful
Sign, Statement Says.

Cleveland, Aug. 28.-Some business
men fail to realize that a slowing up
of business is sometimes healthful
sign, according to the monthly review
of the Fourth Federal Reserve Bank
issued here today.
The future looks brighter now than
ever says the statement. "The yield
of American farms this year will be
one of the most valuable in our his
tory and goes long way toward as
surfing a continuation of prosperity.
"The direct and indirect benefits
that will result from the increased
freight rates will assist materially in
permitting q more free movement of
goods, thus releasing vast amount
of credit.
Freight rate increases have inject
ed new factor into the iron and steel
situation, and the effect of this is be-
ing watched by consumers with close
interest.
Industry has slowed up generally,
though in spots capacity operations
are still being maintained. Labor is
more plentiful than at any time in the
past five years and individual produc-
.tiyity is on the increase.
