definition. Contests will also be held
,ricts in which the different Rotary
clubs will participate. 80,
one of the definitions of the Rotary
Club. as given at the Anniversary
Meeting" of the club this week, was
as follows;
Rotary is more than a man. 1t Is
a spirit and a life. A Rotary Club is
more than an organization. 1t is as
soeiated vision and effort; it is CO.
operative, not competitive, service.
transmutes kindly desires into help
full deeds, and turns dreams into ac-
complished facts. 1t is a training
school in unselfishness, where per-
sonal gain is subordinate TO pubic
good. Rotary values men for what
they are. more than for what they
have: and for what they can be, more
than for what they are. Rotary well
comes a vision of need, and views
service as a privilege to be sought,
not as a burden 10 be avoided.
Rotary never side-steps respons-
ibility or passes the buck to the other
fellow. To the Rotarian, life is an
investment that must yield dividends
that are better than dollars. and that
are not measured in terms of COM
merce. To the Rotarian, community

Deep Seated Disease Is Caused
by Germs in the Blood.

Rheumatism is a sturdy foe,
and it never uses gentle meth
DDS with its victims. So if you
are afflicted with the disease,
you may as we'll realize from
the first that you have real
fight on your hands and that
you cannot win unless you can
use the very best methods
known.
If the disease was confined
to the surface, there might be
some logic in expecting relief
from it's clutches by local ap-
plications applied to the sur
face. But you will soon learn
that a disease that can cause so
much pain and suffering is
deep-seated, and has it's source
far below the surface of the
skin. The pains may be slight
at first, and that is where the
victim of rheumatism is often
deceived.
He does not feel that the first
little twinges of pain amount
to much, and hence they are
not promptly needed. But they
gradually increase in severity
until it has your entire system
III its relentless grip. The pains
that seemed so slight at first be-
come intensely severe and seem
to take delight in your suffering.
Of course there has been
cases where some slight relief
was experienced from the use
of liniments and other local ap-
plications, but there has never
yet been a case that was ac-

over his 1919 agreement.
While the news comes as a surprise
after 'Lefty's" talk Of settling "the
family" here. yet many local sport
fans have opined that Lefty was
too valuable a man for the McCre-
dies to part with so easily. Another
factor was that Salem could not af-
ford to pay the Beaver schedule.

All members of the Senators are res

Vanderveer, counsel for the ten de-
PENDANTS, today. Vanderveer said
there was no need for troops here
that there was no sign of trouble and
no possibility of trouble.
Barnett Recalled.
The defense recalled Eugene Bar
nett, one of the ten defendants, to the
stand shortly after Ball took his seat
in the jury box Barnett testified that
the package he mailed from Centra-
LA on the day of the shooting was a
Geranium plant. and that he sent it
to his mother-in-law in Cottonwood.
Idaho. The mackinaw coat which
Barnett claims he left at the Roderick
hotel was entered as a defense exhibit
as were also some papers Barnett said
he had carried on the day of the
shooting and about which he went to
the office of Elmer Smith, Centralia
attorney and one of the defendants.
The papers referred to a homestead
claim, he testified.
Barnett testified that ne walked
down Tower avenue shortly after the
shooting, naming S. A. Hand and Alex
Sigurtsen as men he met on this walk.
He declared he would not have had
time to walk to a billboard half
mile from the hall and deposit a rifle.
The rifle Barnett is alleged to have
used in firing from the Avalon was
found under this signboard, accord
ing to state evidence.
s A. Hand. who testified to cor
roborate Barnett's story of his walk
down Tower after the shooting, left
the witness stand in tears. He is a
gun dealer in Centralia, He said ne
walked down the street with Barnett
shortly after the shooting, and that
he noticed nothing unusual in Bar
nett's demeanor. IIe identified a 80
calber rifle as one similar TO Bar
nett's and declared he never knew the
defendant to have a 1856 rifle. The
state alleges it was a bullet from a
3S-55 rifle which killed Grimm
Hands tears apparently came as the
result of cross examination from At
torney c. d. Cunningham Of stat
counsel, who upbraided the witness
for not mentioning his knowledge of
Barnett's alleged walk down tn
street after the shooting. Hand said
he did not mention it to Cunningham
because he was not asked about it.
Hand said he was a member of tn
Dunkard faith and had religious OBJ
jections to testifying in court
