ROTARY IDEA

American industry and COM
merce can greatly benefit itself
If it will extend the idea Of Ro-
tartan and Chamber Of Com
merce organization beyond local
fields to sectional enterprises,
DR.. julius Klein, Assistant Secre-
tary Of Commerce, declared in a
radio talk here last night.
He held as an example the re-
cent New England conference
here, in which leaders from that
section gathered to discuss i'm
portant phases of progress and
trade, and framed general plans
for future trends of development.
He declared:
"AlI the cities and rural dis
tricts in any given region have
q great deal in common. Why
then, should they not unity
their local endeavOrs, banding
together harmOniOusly for a
sturdy upward pull lin harness
as New England interests have
dOne?"
He characterized as thoroughly
unwise the rivalries between
neighboring cities, existing in
many sections.

Where Johnny Reb and Yankee

Where Grant directed battle
Relentlessly and glun

Where sixty thousand soldiers
