WiIlimantio Rotarians heard two in- teresting talks Tuesday, at their weekly luncheon, from Rev. William s. Beard, 1 of New YoYrk, formerly pastor of the ] local First Congregational church, ans | from Allen B. Lincoln of Hartford. Rev MT Beard, who recently return , ed from a three weeks trip through | South. Dakota, gavc @n interesting ac count of his travels and the. outlook as regarded by South Dakota people, Only | recently said Rev. MT. Beard the peo- i pie of South Dakota listened to the gov ernment and purchased land at $325 an acre and, stocked their farms with cat tie and horses. Soon the governmen. I stopped loans by the federal reserve ! banks and prizes went down, land to one-half its former value and no mar l ket for the crops Undaunted by this i experience the people of the state con 1 tinued their work and this year will I have bumper crops and the cattle, horses and sheep are in fine condition. Hit harder than eastern people. the South 1 Dakota people are optimistic about the l future and this season will find many of them back on their feet
 We have heard much of the Non-Par- tisan League of North Dakota In South Dakota they have dealt the league a 1 blow. There are state-owned cement | works, a state-owned coal mine, and the ] state law on bank deposits has work ed out to the advantage of everyone | The cities are progressive, have fine ho- teIs and everything points to q rapid recovery from the business slump that has held this country for many months. A trip to South Dakota would be worth the while of any Rotarian, said MT. Beard, in closing.
 Allen B. Lincoln spoke briefly. telling of the great need of organizations such as Rotary, that stand for the golden rule in business and brotherhood of man. Fraternities in this country have done much to absorb American spirit
 and community life has lost through them. It should not make any differ ence whether or not 8 man is q brother fraternity man, he should be nothing but brother man. Rotury IS not an organization asking for brother fra 1 ternity man, but looks on all men as brothers thus working for The common good of all people. The preamble of the Constitution of this country states that ] the promotion of general welfare Is the first. object of American citizenship and the American government is built i around the two Commandments love thy God, and love thy fellow man.
 In the days since the war religious sects have come more and more 10 re- alize that all are working for the same objectives and Protestant or Catholic, all are of one faith in God and the brotherhood of man. This belief is high : in Rotary and any such organization can only work for the good of Ill.
