A discussion of how the business

able by Chester H. Gray, former
president Of the Missouri Farm Blu
reau Federation. and a. pioneer; in
the movement, was: the feature Of a
general program in the Horse Show
building, which proceeded the BUSH
ness session. ~
Mr.. Gray discussed the Farm
Bureau movement in its national
phase.5sThe Washington office of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
he said, scored one of its greatest
victories when it established the
principle that the national debt,
now about $500 for each person in,
the country, should be paid by in
come taxes. "This,' he said throws
the burden on the shoulders of those
best able to carry it., For the first
time in all history the tax. load has
been shifted from those least able to
pay" - -...---.. - =.
Mr.. Gray said railroad rates are
too high despite recent cuts. If
the railroads say they can not stand
further reductions, we farmers re-
ply that they should reduce their
overhead and run the lines more eff
ficiently.'
Speaking on production, he said
farmers are entitled to "cost, plus
a reasonable profit" only when they
use good business practices in their
work. Farmers must produce eff
ficiently, produce what the world
wants and as much as the world
wants. he said. He advocated the
commodity marketing, program of
the national Farm Bureau organiza-
ton and said the. farmers prob
lem will never be. solved as long as
he is content to confine co-opera-
tive marketing to local points. ave
must. become factors in the term

Perhaps tho most noteworthy
Of the Chanute club
in real Rotary work was it's boys
camp last summer, in connection
with the boy program. The club
equipped and maintained a camp
on tho river cast Of the city and kept
IL In operation for six weeks.
Equipment and instructors were fur
nlshed with the club members pay
ing the bills. Tho board OF eduCa-
ton co-operatcd in letting the club
have a teacher for part OF the WORK.
Rotary members furnished their ma
chimes for taking the lads back and
forth TO camp, for carrying supplies
and Transporting visitors to and from
the camp. During a part OF the time
the girls who could not have any
other sort OF an outing were given
the use OF the camp.
As boost to tho school orchestra,
made up OF boys and girls In the two
high schools, the club this spring
underworld the house for IA concert,
guaranteeing 500 tickets. the pro-
cecds Of which went for musical in
struments. Rotary members also
made handsome donation to the
instrument fund.
Another thing that the Chanute
club Is mighty proud of is new
white way that will soon be installed
IN this city. Rotary stood back of
the project until II was put over
Property owners are paying for tho
poles on the assessment plan OF 20
cents per front foot in the benefit
district and the city at large is pay
ing for the wiring and installation
work.
The Chanute Rotary club takes
credit for the building OF a rock
road with gravel top from this city
to the county seat, a distance OF 20
miles Half of the road is in now
and the remainder will be laid with
in a fcw months. The Rotary club
| has been fighting for this road for
more than four years and finally it
/ Is in. Members of the club person
ally did much work among the
| farmers I'm the way of getting petit
tions for the road. They also fought
with the county officials and finally
were able TO make everybody see
| the benefit Of the highway.
The Chanute club has always
| busted itself with city enterprises
| that seemed worth while. The cham
| Der Of commerce has never orlgi-
| mated a worth while project that did
not have the hearty cooperation of
/ the Rotary club.

accomplishments beneficial to the
community as whole and onllst
tho support and cooperation OF its
entire membership.
The first real accomplishment was
the boys survey. when Information
was gathered concerning the edu-
cation and general habits Of boys
ranging In ages from 10 to 90 years.
Going into every home. Rotarlans
not only became acquainted with
conditions. but came IN personal
contact with parents and boys who
gladly furnished desired information.
They found, among other things.
men In Manhattan who had the most
influence with each boy: how he
was succeeding In school what pro-
fesslon or trade no desired to fol-
low and how he occupied his leisure
time. Following this, personal let
tors were Addressed to the "men
with influence" telling them OF their
duty to tho boys OF the community.
business and professional mon we're
asked to, ana did. employ boys who
noted their business preference.
Ever mindful Of the big program
furnished through this survey, the
| boys work committee took up tho
back to school" movement. The
| survey showed but three school de-
| linquents and systematic work in
| personal calls changed that to 100
| per cent school registration. All
those finishing the eighth grade we're
given n banquet and told the Import
anGe OF n high school education,
with tho result that every eighth
| grade graduate In Manhattan en-
| tered high school.
Boy Scouts, already n live organl-
! zation, indicated there was n need
! for n trained, paid scout executive,
| ono who could not only train boys
| 10 he Roy Scouts, but one who could
! train men 10 become scoutmasters.
| Plans were outlined and the Rotary
"gang" Interested other civic or
ganiyations and within lew days
enough money was raised TO em-
ploy n scout executive and defray
other eNpenSaS Of the year. A scout
| camp ~ now being planned and n
Ia thought ScoutvilIe will celebrate
this rail- with great achievements az
n result OF this successful under
taking.
One might surmise by studying
the above program OF work OF the
Manhattan club that boys work oc-
cupiod about all the time of this
organization. But the live members
of this club have worked out ac-
complishments that deserve n place
In the high ranks Of Rotary.
Each year teachers OF the city
schools, numbering nearly one hun
dred, have been banqueted and made
to feel that their presence and tasks
were appreciated.

Enid, Okla.

The Enid Rotary club was organ
i7ed I'm May, 1917. and Immediately
became an active factor In tho COM
munlty in connection with the many
civic responsibilities due to the
World war
After the war, tho club was able
TO take up other lines Of activity.
and became interested in boys work
This AT first consisted OF taking the
needy boys OF the city 10 summer
camps, picnics banquets for the
nowsboys around Christmas time,
financing tho Boy Scouts organiza-
tion. and other activities a'ong these
lines.
In 1920 and 1921 all OF these ac-
tivitles were combined In n well for
mulated plan OF work among the
boys This plan was a combination
| OF the "hig brother" idea and the
back -to-sChool" movement. and
was adopted as the "year-in and
yoar-out" policy OF tho club In its
boys work. An attempt was made
| to get every graduate OF the eighth
| grades In June to continue his cdu-
| cation by entering high school in
| the fall. The names of the eighth
/ grade boys, known as Junior Ro-
| tarians, were divided among tho Ro.
tarians, each Rotarian having or Q
| boys under his special charge
The Rotarians acted the part Of
! big brother" to those boys and was
| held responsible by the club to sec
| that his boys assigned to him cn-
| tered high school in the fall The
! Rotarians kept In close touch with
| their boys during the summer. cs-
pecial attention being paid to those
boys who seemed In doubt about
continuing their education. Parents
were interviewed, employers inter
ested, etc.
! A Rotary employment committee
was organized which endeavored 10
find work for the boys needing same
during the summer, and part time
work during the fall and winter
while attending high school. In Aug,
ust a picnc was given to all the
Junior Rotarian boys.
