ROTARIANS TAKEN TO
ALASKA BY MISS LINTZ

The unexpected happened couple
of times at Tuesdays Rotary lunch
con. First, as soon as President M.
G. Fronske handed the gavel over to
Ralph R. Davis, chairman for the day,
most of the members got up without
a word and left the room. Ralph re-
gained composure and the color flood
ed back into his delightful lineaments
a moment later when they ali filed
back in again through another door.
Then he had Ray Simpson, sergeant
at arms protein, soak each of the
mutineers a chunk of silver
The second surprise came shortly
after DR.. A. j. Mackey was intro
duced for talk The Lampassas Doc
started off in serious vein, his theme
Thanksgiving and why; uttered
thanks over the return from pilgrim
ages of President Fronske, |. B. Koch
and Ray Babbitt; then announced that
a wonderful life-size portrait of a
former president had been presented
the club. He perforated C. B. Wilson,
the has-been in question, moment,
then with gesture classic in It's
Greek severity threw the covering
from the portrait.
1t turned out to be very good
likeness of G. B. The mere fact that
it was cardboard advertising cut
out of man who boasted that his
rampant good health came from using
Natures Remedy, for some reason or
other set the crowd to laughing, c. b.
hardest of all. It was deemed most
expedient to check C. BIS laughter by
laying on a fine which was done but
without the desired effect.
P. J. Moran, chairman of the classi-
fication committee, presented an able
paper on membership classification,
something that he has become an
adept at.
Miss Minnie Lintz of Teachers col
lege faculty, with a large map of
Alaska to aid and abet her, took her
hearers on a thoroughly enjoyab;e
Journey by water to that land of the
north and inland at few places. Her
graphic descriptions of some of the
things she saw and experienced were
much appreciated.
An encore was earned an earnestly
demanded at the conclusion of song
by Mrs. G. A. Pearson, Miss Selma
Aas and Miss Mildred Whetsel, with
Miss Elsa Myers at the piano. But
they smilingly refused President
Mart announced that though John Q.
Thomas had suffered a recent birth
day, the money for cigars, he, John
O., had preferred to give to fund
for needed optical treatment of a
needy child. Which pleased the to-
bacco addicts more than the cigars
would.
Bert Cameron, c. B. Wilson and W.
D. Draine were appointed to lasso
Bill Cady and have him here Tuesday
to chairman the meeting
|. B. Koch and Secretary George I.
Harrington were requested by the
president to write cordial letter of
thanks from the club to the Santa Fe
railroad company for Flagstaff's
handsome new depot.
Mr.. Koch announced that he had
been requested by the Santa t'e off
cials to arrange for and preside at
the formal opening of the depot, next
Thursday night, and that complete
details of the program, which will in
cIude a dinner and dance, would be
announced very soon.
Miss Lintz announced that her
sociology class at Teachers college
will be in charge of the. sale of
Christmas seals this winter, most
worthy cause in view of the fact that
tuberculosis is said to have increased
one per cent during the last year.
