asked Of the Wisconsin Legislature by
the Wisconsin Division.
A change in the present law permit
ting the use of gill nets viii also be
asked. This device for taking fish is
the most destructive method that can
be employed Fish caught in this
manner and gilled are certain TO die
Too many fishermen are at present
inadequately equipped TO handle their
fish after same are taken from nets,
and as a result much of the product is
made unfit for human consumption It
is not an uncommon sight in mid
summer TO find boxes of fish along the
side of roads. which have set for all
day and all night without any ice or
cover waiting for trucks to bring the
product to the markets of Duluth. The
League suggests Stricter enforcement
of the Pure Food laws and believes
that better inspection and enforcement
can be had by placing the matter un-
der the supervision of the State De-
partment of Agriculture.
Agriculture is practically an imposSi-
bility in the section inhabited by
those engaged In the industry. Com
mercial fishing is almost the only
source OF revenue. It is then of econ
onic necessity that immediate steps be
taken to iron out the present msat-
isfactory manner in which this fishing
is carried on in order to perpetuate
the industry, and surely it is an in
dustry, and very important one.

of Rotary from one man, Paul Har-
ris, the founder, TO 140y 1000 Rotarians,
in the comparatively brief span Of "a
years, are:
First club organized February q,
1905, in Chicago
National Association formed in Au-
gust, 1910, in Chicago by the first 16
clubs.
International Association formed in
August, 1912, at Duluth, Minnesota
Rotary international became name
by adoption Of revised constitution
June s, 1922, at Los Angeles.
Since the revision of the basic laws
of Rotary in 1922 branch Secretariat
has been established at Zurich, Swift
zerland, to be of particular service tc
the Rotary club of Europe.
In the past decade Rotary has been
extended into 40 nations, and on the
past year the preliminary negotiations
have been started for creation of clubs
IN Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Java, Man
churia, Jugoslavia and other lands
whose habits of thought and customs
differ widely from Ameria where the
service club idea had its origin.
Groups Of the leading business and
professional men keenly interested in
the idea Of such a world fellowship
have been brought together in Athens,
Greece, Constantinople, Turkey, and
Dairen, Manchuria, to discuss the
principles and purposes of Rotary and
its introduction into their community
life.
This extension carries out one of
the principal objects of Rotary, the
organization of world fellowship Of
business and professional men to ad-
vance the cause of international un-
derstanding and goodwill
Nearly 300 new Rotary clubs have
been granted charters since the last
birthday anniversary of Rotary and
more than 1000 Rotarians have
swelled the ranks of membership to
over 100000.
Trainloads and shiploads now gather
at the annual Rotary conventions,
which have grown into the largest in
ternational gatherings In the world
The customs and metho0s Of doing
things in the A countries represented
by these great cosmopolitan gather
ings are not the same, but they hold
in common the ideals they are striving
to attain.
Stated briefly, these are service as
the basis of all worthy enterprise;
high ethical standards in business; the
application of the ideal of service in
personal, business and community life;
development of acquaintance as an op-
portInity for service; recognition of
the worthiness of 81 useful occupa.
tons and advancement of information
al understandings, goodwill and peace
through a world fellowship of bust
ness and professional men.

one in Winnipeg, Canada. By 1911,
Rotary clubs were organized in Dub
lin and London and Rotary entered
upon its career as a worldwide or
ganiZation.
Today 10000 Rotarians bring the
spirit of fellowship to the common
table each week in the cities and
towns Of a nations. The Rotary club
has given to the business or profess
sional man Of any city in the world
a place where he can meet other men
on the basis Of friendship, high ethical
principles and international goodwill
The idea Of the service club today is
universal
Underlying the rapid extension of
the Rotary movement has been the
fact that there is no dead timber IN
Rotary membership; men must attend
and participate or make room for
others more active The discussion of
politics is taboo, and men of all ma
tionalities and creeds are brought to-
gether on the simple platform of fell
lowsfip and service.
This simplicity and frankness are
gradually disarn1ing the critics of the
service club. Definite programs for
the social betterment of their COM
munities throughout the world have
answered for Rotary the criticism that
its objects are but platitudes, itself
only luncheon club.
Wherever Rotary club has been
established, it has added something
vital TO the community, not to dupli-
cate but to assist in the work of ex-
listing community organizations, or to
supply a need where no such leader
ship exists.
1t is cardinal principle of Rotary
that member should join not for
what he can get out of it, but for
what he can give, as expressed IN the
motto Service Above Self" Civic,
philanthropic and humanitarian
activities form part of the program
of Rotary clubs the world over.
