"HE PROFITS MOST
17th Anniversary q
Origin of Rotary

Seventeen years ago, Paul P. Harris, an attorney in the City of Chicago, was tor ncntcd with an unmtigated obsession to achieve something benefit tohumanity. The lonesomcness of the large city, the dull routine of business, and the earnest desire to enlarge his circle of acquaint- ances spurred him into dccisiva action. He invited three friends to his office-a coal dealer, mining operator, and a merchant tailor-to whomhe deliberately elucidated his idea of forming club, unique club, that would be wholly differ ent from any other existing organization; club that would promulgate the spirit of service, make business men better business men, develop wide acquaint- anceship, and afford its members an opportunity to serve society.
 This meeting occurred on February 23, 1905, and was the actual arrival of baby Rotary into a world that received her with open arms. Members consisted of one man from each business or profession, ! who'met in rotation at their places of business to discuss various questions that might arise from time to time, and to offer suggestions concerning the welfare of the community. In order to strengthen fellowship, it was unanimously agreed that each member should call the other by his first name or by his nickname.
 Membership in the Chicago Rotary Club increased very rapidly and just three years after its inception, the second Rotary Club was organized in San Fran cisco. The worthy movement spread along the Pacific Coast, crossed the con- tinent, and crept north and south on the Atlantic Coast. At the close of the year 1910, sixteen clubs had been organized in the United States.
 The initial Convention of Rotary Clubs was held in Chicago in 1910. The "Na- tional Association" was formed at this Convention.1 But, two years later, at the Duluth Convention in 1912, Rotary evolved from national organization to an international organization.
 Rotary has grown more rapidly since 1912 than during the first seven years. Today there are more than one thousand Rotary Clubs in, the world with approx imately eighty thousand members. AL though the greater number are in the United States, the land fits birth, there are now Rotary Clubs in Canada, New foundland, Mexico, Great Britain, Spain, France, Ireland, Cuba, South America, South Africa, the Republic of Panama, Japan, China, India, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippine Islands and many other countries. Inquiries have been re- ceived from Holland Norway, Denmark, Sweden, the Falkland Islands and British East Africa, which clearly manifest the far-reaching fame of Rotary.

 The real achievement of Rotary lies in the way this spirit of service is re- f1ected in the community in which a club has been established Its activities are varied and numerous and are usually confined to those things which no other organization is formed to accomplish, although some of its greatest achieve ments, and necessarily its least known

Good Roads and
False Economy

Taking issue with a contemporary
advocating pay-as-we-go policy for
the Minnesota good roads program,
The Hutchinson Leader maintains that
"penny-saving, embarrassing PROPOSE
ton would sacrifice today's gain for
tomorroW's questionable advantage
The Leader holds that the proposal
ignores the proven fact that good
roads pay for themselves many times
over, and continues:
TT fails to recognize that on many
heavy traffic. sections of the Mime
sofa trunk highway system the cost
of maintaining gravel surface is so
great that to borrow money for paw
ing is the simplest kind Of economy.
It forgets that a good road is worth
many times its cost.
"The Babcock plan is for adequate
roads, with traffic and other condi-
tons considered not necessarily
for hard-surfaced roads. Official re-
cords show that the state highway de-
partment is giving preference to grad
ing and crawling over paving inn
provements. The plan does provide
for trunk highway bond issues and on
the principle that good roads easily
return the original outlay with all in
terest and other charges and net
profit besides

stage of highway development in Min

greatly improved the Fleming valve
by adding a third electrOde called the

used so extensively today.
The third element which is called a
grid and from which the three-elec-
trode vacuum tube derives its name
was placed by DeForest between the
filament and the plate in the path Of
the electrons. The grid is a perfor-
ated plate or mesh of fine wire through
the openings Of which the electrons
must pass in their journey from the
filament to the plate.
