To Foster WOOdlOt
In New Hampshire

Durham. n. H., Aug. 13.-(AP)-
The New Hampshire woodlot is to be
given professional assistance as the
result of an addition of a forestry ex-
pert to the University of New Hamp-
shire Extension Services, 1t was said
today.
Elmer d. Fletcher of Winchester,
Mass, has been appointed to the posi-
ton which has been made possible
through the passage by Congress of
the Clark McNary forestry act. The
New Hampshire forestry commission
is cooperating in the project as well
as the United States department of
agriculture.
The establishment of a series of
farm woodlot demonstrations in rep
resentative sections of the state will
be one of the first detectives. Plant
ing, thinning and general mana cement
of the farm woodlot to increase pro-
duction will be emphasized with a
view to extending the area of mer-
charitable timber on lands not suited
to general farming.

Crux Rotary Ethics
Should Be Applied
To Crime Situation

Inc present movement Dy DuSl-
ness men for the handling of GRIM
inal activities will have a salutary
effect upon the social condition Of
the country, said Donald A.. Adams.
president of Rotary International, at
meeting of executives in Chicago.
If the business men of the country,
however, would carry their activities
in this campaign into the manage
ment of their own dealings with
everyone upon truly ethical basis,
much good would accrue to the
country's social welfare. The GRIM
inal takes his cue from the success
of his unfair dealings with men who
do not resist his practices. He be-
comes holder in his attempts be-
cause he gets away with crime in
his dealings with men of character.
Too many business men accept the
Justification of facts as well as goods,
as something with which they must
silently contend. Sellers use eXag-
gerated statements which on their
face are fictitious, and which the
buyer himself knows to be false.
Such acceptance of Justification gives
license to the one using it; it be-
comes a stock in trade. Goods are
lllcu SOlQ lOT WHdI tucN are HOt,
materials used in production are not
what they are represented to be
when the finished goods are sold, I'M
fair methods are soon followed in
the distribution of the goods. and the
elements of Justification are cheat
ing become a prevalent condition of
marketing which is winked at by the
buyer in the contest which he con-
siders is test of his wits and judg-
ment. The average business man
does not use his courage to stem the
tide.
Reputable business men should in
dividually as well as concertedly de-
velop a resistance to such practices.
That is the crux of the code of Ro-
tary ethics which has been formed
for the guidance of men in our or
ganization throughout the world.
Business men should take the leader
ship in resisting unfair practices in
all the variety of forms which such
practices take, for the underworld
is recruited by those who are sue
cessful in their false relations with
men of business character who are
personally inactive in resenting
those unfair practices.

Chautauqua Coming

Only a short time now and our
citizens will have an opportunity to
see the programs of the Swarth-
more Chautauqua which is scheduled
to give a series of lectures, enter
tainments and musical numbers in
the High school.
The Chautauqua movement is now
so widespread that most people
know of it's origin and early history,
but it may not be out of place to
tell a few facts about them here
since we are soon to have a Chau-
tauqua.
They are called Chautauqua be-
cause they are like the summer as
sembly at Lake Chautauqua. They
embody the best and most popular
features of both Chautauqua and
Lyceum.
The cost of such an independent
Chautauqua is so great, however,
that comparatively few communities
could afford to support it. Hence the
origin of the circuit Chautauqua
about fifteen years ago. a central
organization purchases ALI equip
ment, engages the lecturers, musi-
clans and entertainers, and in CO.
operation with community COM
mittee conducts Chautauqua in a
town for a fraction of what an indie
pendent Chautauqua would cost.
Their popularity is best shown by
their growth and permanency. Chau-
tauqua is now an established institu-
ton in several thousand towns in the
United States, Canada, Australia and
New Zealand.
The sessions Of the Chautauqua
will begin here Aug. 20 and many
of our prominent citizens, who are
guarantors, are already laying their
plans for a successful campaign.

Says Germans Still
Favor Dawes Plan
Preparations Payment

Williamstown, Mass. Aug. 10
(AP)-Ago Won Nathan, German
ambassador to Washington, spoke in
behalf of his country in regard to
reparations at a round table con-
ference at the Institute Of Politics
today.
David H. Shillingshaw of Chica-
go had spoken on the possible effects
on international trade, if Germany's
reparations payments and that
country's ability to make them. In
the discussion that followed it was
suggested that the German people
might not be willing to exert them
selves In an effort to pay what they
were represented as regarding as
tribute"
that the Dawes Plan had been accep-
ted by the German Reichstag and
that sentiment in favor of the plan
had not altered. The election of
Marshal Won Hindenburg as presi-
dent of the republic was in no way
a rebellion by the people of Dawes
Plan, since Won Hindenburg had
endorsed it soon after his election.
He added that considerable press
ure was being exerted upon his peo-
pie to complete the payments so as
to relieve the railways from foreign
administration under the Dawes
arrangements.
Furthermore, the experts scheme
talks care of the reparations pay
ments until 1928. and if any diff
culties should arise then they can be
adjusted by round table conferen-
ces which as I have observed here
are very successful" he said.
At the general conference on the
recent policy of the United States,
Bishop Logan H. Roots, Protestant
Bishop of Hankow. China, praised
the countrys young student" move
ment for Naturalization and urged
that America take the lead in help
ing China to re-adjust her interna-
tional relations.
DIR. Tehyi Hsieh, head Of the Chi
nese trade and labor bureau in Bos-
ton voiced an appeal on behalf of
his nation to the great powers ito
