Success No Longer
Gauged by Wealth

St. Louis, June 10 GA. P.)-The
possession Of wealth no longer con-
stitutes the only barometer OF sue
cess; the service ideal Is gradually
gaining ground. This was the key
note of a message to the convention
OF International Rotary here today
from Paul =. Harris. founder Of Rot
airy and President Emeritus of Rotary
International.
THE time when rich men are the
big men is passing, said the mes
sage. Greatness in future will de-
pond not on what one has been able
to get, but rather on what one has
been able to give.
opportunity to urge upon the
business world the importance of
adopting service as the basis Of all
professions and trades, Is distinctly
Rotary's. Rotary's peculiar forma =
ton, one representative of each pro-
fossion and each line Of trade, makes
it prominently the best organization
with which to effect the purpose. 1t
! is a large order.
'"The advent Of Rotary marked an
era when the long suppressed yearn-
| inGs of business men for opportunity
! to share in spiritual leadership began
| to find realization. 1t has been a per-
iod Of wonderful progress because
1 business men have made ideansm
| practicable.
"No worthy object can be gained
without effort and the more serious
| ly we view our undertaking, the more
| certain our accomplishments.

waterers and manipulates self feeders
with his snout, which he formerly
used to root up pastures and emit
loud squeals. He need no longer root
the ground or squeal when hungry,
the incentive having been removed. a
certain amount of time and labor al
SO was eliminated by the more smpli-
fled way of feeding and watering.
The consumer, the Institute says,
benefits materially with better pork
products through the more general
fuse of sanitary concrete wallows or
baths and automatic hog oilers
which tend to decrease hog diseases
formerly contracted in the traditional
mud wallows. In fact the hogs read
lily take to the concrete baths" in
preference to the old mud puddles.
Another item which makes for n
healthier and more profitable pig,
says the Institute. is the more general
advantage taken of the process
whereby the hogs are turned into the
corn fields and allowed to harvest
| while feeding themselves. Thousands
of acres Of grain are harvested in
| this way instead Of carrying feed to
penned up pigs. This also serves to
reduce the farm labor problem.
! Where this process Is used, beans
| are planted with the corn to permit
the pig to harvest a balanced ration to
give finer ham sandwich to the con =
| sumner.
