they are to function wisely and
reach as large a group as possible.
Rotarians all agree that no oC-
casiOn brings them az great an in
spiration as the annual CITY Beau
tiful" banquet for the contestants.
Tulsa has had five II these and
during this time has had az It's
honored guests approximately seyfn
hundred children-sometimes Rc-
companied by the parents and al
ways coompanied by the garden di-
rectors for each school district. This
banquet Is given over largely 10 the
children, the Rotarians acting as
big brothers"
The expense OF the "City Bcauti-
full" contest Is borne most willingly
by the Rotarians. THO year 1922 is
being planned with n larger pro-
gram than any other preceding pro-
gram. / think that 1 express the
feeling OF all other Rotarians IN
saying that II Is one Of the best
avenues OF service and satisfaction
that Rotarians have found.
II will he of interest to The Rotary
club 10 know some OF the Cutstand-
ing facts.
Tulsa had 1850 gnrder contes-
tants enrolled and exhibiting excel
lent work.
Contestants generally speaking
showed great sympathy Snd enthu-
siasm for their work.
Actual earnings are large, rang
ing from a few cents net to S425.
The unusual figure was reported by
Maurice Dilling, 1898 South Main.
His garden showed that ne had used
great skill and taste in its produce
ton.
what tho children say:
"Our corner lot was .. most bare
OF grass, and n path ran across It
diagonally. II was a discouraging
outlook. 1 first put up a fence TO
remind careless people OF the side
walk. I watered the yard, planted
sweet peas along the garden fence,
and nasturtiums along tho south
| side OF the house. In April l planted
vines around the porch ard made a
porch box. This box received a
prize nt tho county fair. My work
In the yard averaged an hour a day
and resulted in a good looking
yard"

80 now il is up to us, the young
er generation to assist them In their
undertaking. We will show them
that We appreciate what they have

that we do appreciate this by beau

(Signed) WINIFRED BERK.
From the foregoing, which has
been briefly stated and in a general
way. the Rotary club ~ putting
| into practice its idea of service.
Surely no service IN greater than
| that which instills into the boys and
girls desire to meet tho larger
! situations oi life. To make Rotar-
| ians Is much the same as TO make
good citizens, and the way TO do
| this Is to reach the boys and girls
| in their early lives, inspiring them
TO higher ideals and giving them an
| opportunity FOR practice. This, we
| believe, the Tulsa Rotarians are do
! ing in the CITY Beautiful move
ment.

IL IL E. .oRERIOLTzER.

Tho Rotary club is a civic organ
i-,ton and has for its chief objcc-
tye service, both to the individual
and The community. The greatest
sgryirp any individual or club can
rarform Is that which viii tend to
l.rtug tho greatest good to the great
f,sf number, TO the individual first
and through him to others, for after
sIl the notices commonly used.
"lorvlpc. Not Self" and "He Profits
Most. Who Serves Best are really
the expressions OF the great objec-
live of Rotary.
The kindest thing one can do is
fo helm man to help himself. The
same thought will apply to the COM
wuuitv in It's activities, for no serv-
isr is worth while IL IL does not tend
10 remove some OF the burdens of
society and to add to the sum total
of happiness. The test CT educa-
lion and service In whether the in
dividual is able TO do his part in
lssscnlng the burden ana adding
GOOD will and happiness.
Rotarians. we believe the place to
start with this great work of serv-
ice Is among the young people OF
the community. The Tulsa Rotary
club has two outstanding achieve
ments to its credit, viz: tne super
.,ision and support OF the Tulsa
JEoys' Home and the supervision
and Objection OF the city Beautiful"
movement. The Rotary club OF Tul-
"a has the unique honor of inaugur-
ating the "City Beautiful contest
during the year 1916. Through the
cooperation OF the Rotary club and
the board OF education, a director is
employed and prizes are awarded
10 individuals for recognized
achievement i'm this work. This
movement is one OF great economic.
educational, and civic importance.
During the days of war u stressed
largely food conservation and pro-
ducuon, which the following data
will verify;

The Bro1ize Bell" the latest Para mount-Ince special picture which will be presen4d at the Coliseum Theater beginning Tuesday. has for more .han 10 years ranged as one of the most popular of American novels. and is still enjoying an enormous sale by bookdealers throughout the English-speaking world
 A stirring romance of British East India, 'The Bronze Bell' was pub lished in novel form by Dodd, Mead & Co.,. of New York, in 1909, and within a. few weeks was rated as one Of the best sellers of the year For many months an extraordinary de- mand was evinccd. and several edi- lions of the novel were issued.
 When Thomas H. Ince negotiated for the screen rights of number of Louis Joseph Vances novels, "The Bronze Bcll' received first consider ation, both because of it's wide popu- larity and it's unusual adaptibility for the screen. The story is dramatic and the heart appeal irresistible. Courtenay Foote and Doris May head clever cast. of players.

 Problems Facing Nation
 The two big problems facing the nations are the divorce problem and the problem of relationship to men, The divorce problem, Dr. Smith said must be curbed this side of the altar It is the only solution Divorce in itself is not an evil. but a necessary adjustment, and when the young men and young women of today are brought to realize the importance of matrimony before the ceremony of marriage there will be no divorce evil.
 Irterdependence and the give and take of life is essential 10 the re- lationship of men. No understanding can be reached until these factors enter into the lives of people, and when it is realized that lives grow in the effort made to help others.
 Program Saturday
 Saturday night last. Chautauqua program included the Ncwcombe Con cert Company. "Wee Jamie" Clark pipe-major. and Robert MacRoberts. drummer, who made their first ap pearance here. Their numbers were highly entertaining and received by the audience with big applause.
 Dr A. D. Carpenter lectured on "World's In tho Making" The lee ture was unusual and instructive. Dr. Carpenter took his audience up and out of themselves until they saw with him the worlds of the universe, their beginning, development and the end He Illustrated the insignificance of this world and the people who inhahit it, in the general scheme of the universe, by comparison with the other astral bodies.
 Dr. Carpenter briefly skctched and discussed the study and development of the science of astronomy from the early discoveries and study until the present time. The stars. he said. are tho greatest medicine for the soul He invited every person who is disturbed by mental worry to go out under the stars on clear night and look up at them. The result will be that that person will be carried up and out of himself until he dwells with the stars, the smallness of this world, left far behind. the mental worry appeasei and the mind at rest.
