Idea Spreads.
They called it Rotary" because
in those early days members met in
rotation in their offices and shops.
Three years alter the idea spread
to San Francisco. Then the germ
descended in othe rparts Of the
country. The National Associa-
ton" was formed in 1910.
And today it's Rotary Interna-
tional. It's the organization with
which all Rotary clubs throughout
the world are affiliated. It's an
organization of 1920 subsidiary
clubs, with Approximately 10000
members in rs countries
Delegates from all these nations
are gathering in. st. Louis for their
annual world meeting, June 1922.
From all parts Of the globe they're
coming.
The lawyer-founder of Rotary is
Paul P. Harris, president emeritus
of Rotary international. Born in
Vermont, he went west after leav-
ing Princeton University. he was
admitted to the bar in Iowa in
1891. But he wasn't ready to start
practice then.
For five years he worked nearly
all over the world. He was re-

he picked oranges in Southern

of 100000 tons of coal annually
for you must remember, coal is very
wasteful commodity. A great deal of
its heat goes up the chimney and a
great deal more radiates from boilers
and pipes and never serves any useful
purpose.
At present the consumption of fuel
in New York is 100000 tons yearly.
Recent strikes in coal fields and on
railroads have shown that neither of
them can be relied upon and that the
only real solution of the matter is to
become independent of them both.
Water power developing 100000
horse power is now being used in
New York, saving annually 100000
tons of coal. The United States uses
100e0,000 horse power generated BY
water, a saving of 100000 tons pf
coal annually, and there is a latent
horse power of s0000,000 more, orr a
saving of 400,00O,0OO tons. It would
still be necessary to use 100000, 600
tons of coal a year for heating.

) go backward, or else we must adopt
the same methods in the field of distri-
button that are already being used in
the field of production. There is
possibility that efficient distribution on
large scale will wipe out the mass
of small distributors unless they, too,
become efficient The elimination of
the conservative middle class would
spell disaster.
So the small distributor must give
earnest attention to keeping down costs.
He cannot afford to deliver by old
fashioned methods, He must take adj
vantage of the power of electricity
not alone in the proper lighting Of his
place of business, but in deliveries as
well. The electric delivery truck will
cut the costs of the distributor, and
that will ultimately cut the costs to the

Project for State
To Buy Land, Grow
and Sell Timber

Whether or not the State should
purchase land in the State on which
to plant trees. cut the timber under
methods which will secure sat;sfac-
tory continual reproduction, and sell
this timber in the market as an in
vestmcnt enterprise. was the question
which State Forest Commissioner
Samuel +. Dana put before the Gov
ernor and Council on Tuesday.
Previous legislatures have apnro-
priated money for the purchase of
wild lands and for general forestry
purposes and there is now available
about $1,000 which may be used for
this purpose.
Mr.. Dana recommended that If such
purchase should be made, that it
be in the southern part of the State
where the land may he bought more
advantageously than in the northern
part of the state and Where MANY
people are interested in the project
and would like to see something Gone
in that line. 1t was his opinion that
some tracts of land there could be
purchased at lrjces varying from 50
to $40 per acre.
The work Gil these lots would be
lone under the direction Of the State
Forestry De, artment. White nine
trees would be planted and the pro-
1ect would &c handled according to

Notes from the
Fish & Game Dept.

The Department of Inland Fisher
les and Game. within the past two
weeks, has received quite a number
Of requests from parties who have
found young deer. which appear to
have been abandoned for some rea-
son or other. In a few instances, it
has been learned that the mother of
the deer undoubtedly became sep
arated from it's young, or lost its
life in the extensive forest fires of
late in which cases it was a humane
act to rescue the little weak crea-
t,Ire: but in the majority OF cases it
would appear that if the little fawn
had not been disturhcd-had not
been handled by a human being-the
mother would have returned to it.
Therefore. the Department is calling
the attention of the public to tho
desirabiity of not molesting in any
way any young deer which may ap-
pear to have been abandoned by its
mother, unless the finder knows that
the mother has been killed. If tho
deer is not handled and If after
reasonable time the mother does not
return. a person might be justified
in caring for the young animal: but
in the majority of cases, if the Young
fawns are not touched by person.
the mother will return and care cor
her Young.

but company officials say that the

lure OF their work as a reason, asked
for seven hour day with the Same
rest periods. The company denied
all the demands on the ground that
working conditions at present were
ialr and wages were on a Wartime
level.
Members of what is known as Old
Local la in Boston remained at
work today. The charter of this local.
formerly the recognized Boston un-
ION. was revoked some time ago by
MISS OConnor. who organized a new
local. It's leaders announced today
that they believed in the Justice of
the union demands but would NOT
participate in the strike because
they had been denied the privilege
of voting in the strike referendum.
Some of the operators ar members
OF the international Brotherhood of
Telephone Workers, composed chief
~ or male employees of the telephone
company, which has announced
neutral stand in the strike.
The first day of the strike passed
without disorder. Picketing was ac-
lively carried on and some instances
Ct verbal abuse were n,ted, but
there was nothing that called for
police interference.
Late in the day company officials
asserted that many of the girls who
went on strike this morning had re-
turned to work. Strike leaders de-
MED this and claimed that there had
been Constant additions to their
ranks.
The public experienced little Diff
ficulty in the use of the telephone in
Boston today. Telephone company
offices and union headquarters
readily responded to calls and there
were no unusual delays in putting
through local calls except in the few
exchanges where a large number of
operators were on strike. Student
operators were pressed into service

the company reported that large
numbers of former operators had
volunteered for work during the

rate they were returning only $50
would remain on strike by the end
of the day.
An incident showing the division of
opinion among the operators was the
fact that two sisters, supervisors n

Ask Removal Of Humane Agent At

A number of the residents of the
towns of kingsbury and Wellington
appeared before the Governor and
Council requesting the removal OF
State Humane Agent Nelson A..
Damon of kingsbury on the grounds
that he is not a fit person to hold
the office. The matter was tabled
by the Governor and Council at the
close of the hearing.
Those who gave testimony against
Damon were: Clarence Hanson and
Archie Ward of Wellington, Thomas
Corvette. Ernest Campbell and Garlic
ton Palmer of Kingsbury.
The hearing was opened by Mr..
Corvette. who stated that Mr.. Damon,
the State humane agent at Kings
bury, was using the office for his
own gain. and that at times when
Damon would get letters from the
fox farm managers, asking for hor-
scs to provide food for the foxes, he
would make trouble for people in
that vicinity. get their horses and
sell them to the fox farm.
The witnesses testified to times
when they alleged that Mr.. Damon
had secured horses for the fox farm,
when in the opinion of the witnesses
the animals were in good physical
condition.
No defense was offered at the
hearing either by Mr.. Damon or by
counsel representing him.

Dental Hygienist
For Health Dept.

A dental hygienist will be added
to the staff of the State Department
of Health and will serve as the head
Of the dental hygiene division of
that department if the request made
to the Governor and Council Tues
day by State Health Commissioner
Clarence F. Kendall, is granted.
Appropriation of $4,000 additional
for the State Department of Health
for this purpose was made by the
last Legislature, and it now remains
to secure the approval Of the Gov
ernOr and Council before the pro-
ject is instituted.
DR.. Kendall pointed out to the

pose of the new division would be
to promote dental hygiene through
out the State in the schools and in
cher ways. 1t is the plan to interest
people in the subject of dental
hygiene and to stimplate the interest
of dentists in cities and towns in
holding dental clinics.

Newport and member of the S1st

plan outlined by DR.. Kendall. stat
ing that the division will do edu-
