This story by S. T. Peace, one OF
partv of Henderson people who at
tended the convention of Rotary IN
ternational in San Francisco, was
written as the party started back
across the continent for the return
trip home. 1t was mailed from San
francisco last Saturday. The story
follows:
On such a trip as this in what is
the reader most interested? l have
not written anything about the do
ings of the convention because you
have doubtless read in the papers
the proceedings of the convention.
No one of us has seen all that is to
be seen and no two have seen the
same things. Suffice it to say all OF
us have seen enough. It is enough
to know that 10000 sober, intelligent,
clear headed, clear thinking people
from all parts of the world have met
together under one banner Service
above self" I have seen no DRINKS.
1 have not heard a single bad joke. 1t
is refreshing. 1t is inspiring. Just
here let me insert a little picture. In
one end of our car there were six
people SCdlcQ dIlO OIlJ O1A'
was said about the Bible and five out
Of the six said they had each brought
along a Bible. However, in justice
to the Devil, let it be recorded only
two had read it on the trip.
1t is inspiring to look into the face
of Paul Harris, now an old man who
founded Rotary. An old man who
without money has done more to en-
courage fellowship and promote good
will among the nations of the earth
than has Cecil Rhodes with all his
millions of dollars.
Why God made such a fascinating
world We do not know. Why He made
SO much wasted land and called it
Texas we do not know. Why he made
such great mountains out here and
hid in them the precious gold we do
not know.
The Golden West is a medley. In
California the farmer works all day
Saturday and all day Sunday he plows,
sows, and reaps. He waters his crop
with melted SHOWS from far off noun
tain peaks. With his strong arm he
conquers the bleak mountain side
and feeds the world with fruit of al
most every kind except apples. Here

The President will leave tomorrow
to deliver a ten minute address at
the Gettysburg battlefield, then push

his administration is an issue in pri
mary and general elections. He has
already arranged speeches in Ohio.

ager Frank C. Hanrahan said to-
day.
Reports for the year to date
show that the county's income will
meet the years budget require

clared. He was optimistic that ex-
cellent tax collecting will enable
the county to absorb the $4,000

for back debts on fire equipment.
The county manager praised Ar

system as being responsible for
the county's good financial con-
dition,
