SECRET Negotiations

Washington "a. P.)- President
Harding, replying today to the sen

the negotiation of the Four-Power
Pacific treaty, stated that it is i'm
possible to furnish the requested in

clared that there are no concealed
undertakings and no secret exchanges
of notes.
Almost coincident with the arrival
of the presidents letter the senate
foreign relations committee, by vote

at Juliaetta. Mr.. Kruger and broth

Washington and use mules exclusive
ly in their farm work.
Mr.. Brown predicts that 1922 will
De good horse year. He states that
norses are scarce throughout the en-
tire United States and that their de-
mand Will increase and the price hold
up. In fact, Mr.. Brown states, the
price for good horse has never been
down, well bred 16OO-pound horse
always demanding 5000 or more.
There is no room for scrub horses,
Mr.. Brown says, and, in his opinion,
the demand for good horses will
steadily increase, as the horse will
always be an important factor on the
farm
Steady Tone in Horse Markets
Reports from the leading markets
to the Horse Association of America
show that on horses and mules sold
on public markets in January 1922, a
medium price prevailed. Farmers,
generally, held back their horses,
waiting for better transportation
rates, for unless each individual ami
NAL was high class, they could not
make enough profit on a carload, af-
ter paying express charges, to war
rant their fitting and sending to mar
ket However, the seven leading mar
kets st. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha,
Chicago, Buffalo, Boston and New
York report around 10000 horses and
mules sold in January and in most
cases considerable increase over
sales volume Of January 1921
Good horses seem to be scarce"
says ] j. Searcy of the National Stock
Yards, E. ST. Louis. This is because
farmers have not felt justified in feed
Ing and caring for their horses on ac-
count OF low price, not realizing that
a fat, well-finished horse is worth
just as much more, proportionately
on low market as on a high mar |
ket''
Prospects really look brighter for
a fair spring trade for good sized |
farm chunks and draft horses than at |
any time in the last two years." states
Harry McNair, at the Chicago Stock
Yards. The Crandall Horse Company
of East Buffalo, ~ Y, says that the
return Of the horse is very noticeable
for city delivery and that increased
purchases are being made for farm
use. They add that there is no bet
ter paying class of stock for the far
mer to raise than good draft horses,
and that if he will Commence breed
ing the right kind in the proper way,
he will make no mistake" Rapid ad
vance in price is not expected in any
0f the markets, but steadily rising
one is predicted for February, March
md April.

ROTARY CLUB
HAS ANNIVERSARY
REVENUES PLEDGE OF SERVICE
TO COMMUNITY-ST OF
ORGANIZATION.

With the announcement of a birth
day gift of renewed pledge of ser.
vice to the community to the business
and social life as we'll as to civic bet
terment generally, the Rotary Clut
OF this city tonight celebrate the sew
enteenth anniversary of the organiza-
ton Of the first Rotary Club in the
world.
Rotary came into being in Chicago,
February 23rd, 1905, with a group of
four men-one a coal dealer, one a
mining operator, one a merchant
tailor, and the fourth an attorney.
The attorney, Paul p Harris, first
advanced the idea of forming club
different from any club then known,
and to him belongs the credit for
starting the great Rotary movement.
At this meeting of the four, when
decision was made to organize a club
it was also decided to invite to mem
bership just one man from each diff
ferent business professional call
ing. A printer, a real estate man, an
insurance man, and a banker were
the next four admitted.
Rotary" was chosen as the name
of the new club because the members
met in rotation" ct their places of
business. Rotation Club" seemed
somewhat inapt so they adopted the
shorter form Rotary Club"
The Chicago Club continued to in
crease in membership. In 1908
three years after the first meeting
the second Rotary club was organ
lied in San Francisco. Other clubs
followed on the Pacific Coast and
then the movement spread to the East
and then to the South until sixteen
clubs had been organized by the end
of 1910.
1t was in 1910 that the first con-
vention was held in Chicago and the
National Association" formed At
this convention Chesley r. Perry was
elected secretary and he continues to
hold this office at the present time.
Rotary emerged from a national or
ganization to an international organ
nizatiOn two years later at the Duluth
convention. At short time previous
to this convention club had been
organized at Winnipeg, Canada, and
during the convention a cablegram
was received from the Rotary Club of
London, England, asking for a char
ter. Rotary had thus quickly evolved
from one club in 1905 to an inter
national organization in 1912.
Since 1912 the organization has
grown even more rapidly than during
the first seven years. Today there
are more than one thousand Rotary
Clubs in the world. Alto the greater
are in the United States, |
where the movement originated, there
are now Rotary Clubs in Canada, New
Great Britain, and Ireland, |
Cuba, South America, the Republic of
Panama, China, India Australia and
New Zealand. This growth seems all /
the more remarkable when we realize
that the organization has never at
any time employed paid organizers
And in addition, extreme care has al
ways been exercised in surveying
cities and towns applying for mem
bership to make sure that such COM
munities are ready for Rotary Club
md are of sufficient size from
which to secure a membership of
representative men and still have the
restricted to one man
rom each business or profession.
