pearing almost inexhaustible. He
kept the Rotarians in a splendid
frame of mind, until he launched in
to the serious waters of his address.
There was, probably, method in
his madness, since the latter part of
his speech was devoted to very plain
statement of what he considered a
Rotarian's duty to his community,
and how far short many came from
fulfilling it. His arguments were ac-
eepted, however, as revealing the
general situation, and they should
have the effect of creating more
thorough interest in Rotarian activi-
ties. The speaker was most happily
received, and given a tremendous
hand for his effort.
A pleasing feature of the occasion
was the presentation of several musi-
cal selections by an octette from the
male students of the local high school.
These showed the excellent training
of Miss Mabel Jones, who presided
at the piano. The boys sang some
Of the old time songs and produced
much more harmony than the aver
age school glee club. They are to
be congratulated.
