SENTIMENT, BUSINESS,
FUN ON ROTARY MENU

~-~~N~
Tuesday at Rotary. President Tex
Mackey and Art Riordan had just got
seated when Chairman Tommy Knoles |
called on /. B. Koch to announce some
thing.
/. B. announced that Tex and Art /
could leave the main table and each
flock all by his lonely at small tables,
one in each of the two east corners
of the Monte Vista dining room.
The new dads did so. Then each
was formally presented by Mr.. Koch
with dainty package, which url-
wrapped revealed implied nursing bot
tie filled with milk. Tex also got a
bottle of paregoric, another purport-
ing to be e-Volstead, and pair OF
stork pants. Vice-President Billy
Switzer was directed by |. B. to take
Tex place as president and to fine
both him and Art if either dared
speak except upon request.
Then chances were sold at quar-
ter apiece on box of cigars, which
had been given by Mr.. Koch because
of a birthday he suffered on May 19.
When the wheel was spun Joe Schmidt
got the cigars. The money for which
the chances were sold, however, was
to buy flowers for the two ladies who
had presented the two culprits with
sons.
The cigars the bunch smoked were
contributed by the proud dads, each
a box.
It seemed to be general gift day. A
beautiful gift graced the table in
front of the presidents chair-a bank
of miniature silk flags Of all nations.
Accompanying the gift was the fol-
lowing letter from the donor:
Gentlemen Having lived in Flag
staff nearly forty years / have noticed
the changes that have taken place in
the development of the, town during
that time, and have never seen such
rapid strides made, NOR such close CO.
operation between the business inter-
ests as | have since the organization
of the Flagstaff Rotary Club, and this
change is directly traceable to your
club
ct is for this reason that ask you
to accept this bank of flags, (em
blematic of the countries in which
Rotary is estabiished), as token OF
appreciation from at least one old tim |
er who realizes the wonderful agency
for cooperation and progress that your
organization is to this community and
to the world at large.
Sincerely,
EDGAR WHIPPLE.0
Following the reading of the letter !
by Secretary Tom Mccullough, Chair
man Knoles asked that member of |
the Sixth object committee respond. |
Something unfortunately had turned |
up at the last moment to prevent Mr..
Whipple attending the luncheon.
rs<,txs a1rxT1 of 40
committee, was not there, and George
Harrington, member of the commit |
tee, responded, feelingly and grace
fully. Mr.. Harrington said Mr.. Whip |
pie is one who proves that not all |
Rotarians are members Of the Rotary |
club. He spoke of the spirit and prac- |
tices of fair dealing and good fellow
ship promoted by Rotary having |
of the good influence Rotary can have |
in promoting world-peace and friend
illness among nations, and of Mr..
Whipple's gift as being symbolic of /
Rotary's ideals in that direction.
Doc Ploussard, chairman of the at
tendance committee, talked gravely
to a couple members who'd been abb
sent lately.
Hiram Whitfield, president River

greetings of his club.
Secretary Mccullough said King /
man Rotary wants a golf tournament

range it.
l. B. Koch read part of an interest
ing letter from T. Al. Riordan of Flag
staff, now at Barcelona, Spain, about /
a Rotary meeting he attended In that
city in company with a California
Rotarian, and modestly ascribing part
of the Righteousness of his own
speech at the meeting to the delight
full potency of the mild Spanish bev-
erage at each plate.
Chairman Knoles gave an interest
ing service talk, telling about what
is put into bread and how it is made I
in the modern bakery. Among the
ingredients are flour, salt, yeast, |
water, sugar, malt and milk powder.
In rolls the formula is slightly diff
ferent, and usually soft wheat flour
is used instead of hard wheat flour,
as in bread.
Mr.. Koch called the roll of those
who would go to Williams yesterday I
to meet with Williams Rotary, at
which joint meeting he is to be chair
man; and practically every member
said he'd go.

an interesting talk on the purpose OF
the special election next Tuesday and
the reasons why voters interested IN
