THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) SOME ROTARY REFLECTIONS Welcome Rotarians! Membership is not essential to a participation in the benefits of Rotary for the very success of Rotary is measured by the radius of its influence. The emblem of Rotary you will notice has a small center but large circumferenc symbolical of a Rotarian’s obligation: ‘Service Above Self.” It Rotary were confined to a small center it would instantly become a cult with a limited appeal, antagonistic to the spirit of cooperative effort. Anyone, then, regardless of race, creed or previous condi- tion of servitude, who fears God, honors his country and places s ice above self is a Rotarian whether he is conscious of the distinction or not. The Golden Rule is the divine law governing human rela- tionships, but it is also a basic law governing perfect bal- ance in economics. Rotary demands the practice of the Golden Rule in all relations, both spiritual and material. The Rotarian mandate, “Service Above Self,” is the very essence of unselfishness, just as the Golden Rule is the very essence of Christianity. Rotary combats selfish policies in business just as the Great Teacher when He gave the world the Golden Rule exploded a selfish dogma that had gripped a pagan empire. W. G. Sibley, a student of economics, has given an ex- cellent estimate of service in the following: “All the wild ideas of unbalanced agitators the world over, in their ignorant and pitiable quest for happiness through revolution, confiscation of property, and crime, can- not overthrow the eternal truth that the one route to happi- ness through property or government is over the broad and open highway of service. try, thrift, respect for authority, and recognition of the rights of others.” In our school copy books was the slogan: Honesty Is the Best Policy. If Rotarians were to rewrite this motto for the youth of the land, it would read: Honesty Is the Only Policy. When it comes to a matter of principle or the qual- ity of service, Rotary ignores comparatives, for both service and p ples must be 100 per cent, to be Rotary. ’, then, is not exclusive—it is all inclusive and con- fers benefits only as each Rotarian radiates the Rotary spirit in everyday transactions. The 1700 or more Rotarians in the Ninth District are merely the apostles of Rotary and it is their militancy that makes Rotary the vital force it \ It is fitting then to place special emphasis upon the fact that the blessings of Rotary are not confined to Rotarians alone but are dynamic forces that can transform all men, for, as the poet sings, “He who loves his kind does first and “Jate a work too great for fame.” THE NORTH DAKOTA A recent visitor from the East v mazed to find in North Dakota bu modern cities and vigorous, contented people, with a spirit of optimism and confidence permeating every activity. He was surprised because his knowledge of North Dakota was limited to a reading of the pleas in Washington by those seeking agricultural relief measures for the Northwest; he was convinced that the exaggerated statements were truth and that North Dakota was peopled with agrarian mendicants. : The visitor could not sense the North Dakota spirit from afar, could not appreciate the vastness of the state’s resour- ces nor vision the potentialities of the commonwealth, until he came here himself. North Dakota has run the gamut of hardships which came to all pioneer states, her people have been forced to Yearn by the hard and fast rule of experience, but in the very struggle to conquer their spirit it grew firm and strong. Nor does it waver with occasional misfortunes. While spokesmen bewailed our agricultural bankruptcy, sterner souls began to investigate. They found that North Dakota had made wonderful progress from the days when she was known only as “the bread basket of the world.” They found that during the past year she produced 25,000,- 000 bushels of corn—and not many years ago it was said corn could not be grown profitably in the state. They found that North Dakota had made remarkable progress as a dairy state. They found that the value of dairy, beef and poultry products last year exceeded the value of wheat and durum. They learned that in “the sunshine state” the average pro- duction of honey was 157 pounds per colony while the aver- age production for the entire United States was but 53.8 pounds, North Dakota lands constituted only a small part of the total value. They learned that tenant farmers and others in some of the older states to the south were looking to’the fertile fields of North Dakota, where land values were not inflated and they might acquire their own homes and farms. While PIRIT a few pessimist® told about the bank failures in all North- | western states, a resident ‘of one small town began compar- ing figures, and announced that the richest agricultural vil- lage in the United States, measured by bank deposits, was in North Dakota. : North Dakota retains the' impress of the square-jawed, two- fisted pioneers who wrested the country from hostile Indians and beat hack the Indians —an indefatigable spirit which; knowing the state is sound and great, goes right ahead. 4 FLYING REGULATIONS _.,.

A. Nestos told the Rotar this afternoon in speaking on the subject, “The Spirit of the North- | ‘The pioneer of the Ni may not have had the accurate def- inition of principles, the clear. per- ception of purposes, the inspiring sentiments, or the beautifully word- ed codes of Rotary, but there was a fine uine hospit: ity, a fi from class distine tions and a wholesome democracy | that made it possible for young men and women—no matter how — poor and unlettered the parents, or from w rtinwest what so status—to be respected for their personal worth and to their to the top in the trade, profession, business, community, or state, if willing to work and pos-} sessed of the requisite character and ideals,’ the Governor asserted. ‘The Northwestern pioneers were distinguished by lofty patriotism and a broad nationalism, the state's chief executive said, recalling the Civil War of ‘61 when men left th then sparsely settled hills and prai- of Wisconsin and Minnesota, Spanish-American .war in. which orthwest contributed largely of manhood, and the World War) i 1 its during which the men of the North-| west poured into the armies of the nation. “When becomes dominant in the Northw the Rotarian it will result in a finer busin relationship and better service; it will mean quality products and truth in advertising and setling—whether the seller be the farmer shipping his grain, beef, poultry, or vegetable products to the ctiy or the manufac- turer, jobber, or mere t selling his goods tothe tiller of the soil. It will mean a better understanding and therefor tween capital and labor, and employee, producer mer, each having due re spirit of cooperation be- employer nd consu- for the general good as well as for y rights,” the Govern id, “As’ each Rotarian, although pected to play his part as a cit in all the af of his community, state, and country, is ed for membership because he leader in’ his profession line of business and is expected to prove his worth asa ian in the conduct of that business, so the citizens of each community, sti or section of the country should ascertain and con- rin mind what is the ba- of such communi state, or section, and its chief con- tribution, kp the economic life of the country,» Whether — manufacturing, shipping, mining, lumbering or agri- culture. As each Rotarian serves community best when he conducts h business successfully on the Rota basis, so each community or region serves the country best when it de- velops its basie industries to the highest point of efficiency on the same basis. What It Means “This, applied to the Northwest, will mean that its citizens will real? ize keenly and constantly that no matter how important our coal, clay, and iron deposits or how extensive our manufacturing enterprises, agri- culture is and must continue to be our chief industry, and this region the principal source of supply of food stuffs for the American peo- ple. The prosperity of this region and the value of the contribution we shall make to the life of our country, will depend upon how well we dis- charge our duty and meet our op- portunities as the greatest agricul- tural section of the Union. We have | already discovered that to require our farmers to raise wheat, meat, and other products and sell them for less than the cost of production; to ship in from the East either coal, clay, iron, or other products that we have in abundance in our own region; to buy manufactured articles from the East when we possess an abundance of undeveloped raw ma- terials and power needed to make them at home; and to ship our bulky products at excessive freight rates by rail two thousand miles to E; |Honor and Privilege eto En- tertain Clubs of North- western States The City of’ Bismarck extends a hearty welcome to the visiting Ro- tarians, We deem it an honor and a privilege to offer the hos lity of the city to our distinguished visitors, | eity officials feel complimented at | the opportunity to extend a hand of | good fellowship and to help in mak- ing your visit t our city an enjoy- able one. -It becomes our extreme | pleasure to be of service to you and | what we have to offer is done in a Bismarck is yours for = good tim LAST OF THE TRIBE Visitor: Good , farming arourid Garage Man: Well,.there used to ians and Others May Work! }, Together to Advance Inter-| conference | 2 spirit. thus| ; "MAYOR LENHART EXTENDS HOSPITALITY | | OF CAPITAL CITY TO ROTARIANS The people of Bismarck and the; be until we nt him’ to Congress— THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE = SPIRIT OF SOLIDARITY AND SERVICE URGED BY GOVERNOR IN SPEECH TO ROTARIANS HERE ern seaports when we might have these ports at our very door--may be yiving a temporary service, seeming ly altruistic and Rotarian, to those now profit by our \folly, but we not develop this territory, — we not Promote the prosperity and » of our people, we cannot smmonwealths, snd we continue to serve) America stably and) permanently on a such basis as that “We must large ou view, both ins nd time, We must be ready, if need be, to s fice convenience for per and to think of jlems in terms of the whole her than in terms of advantage for our m our pr Must Work Together Before the spirit of the North west can become the force jt ought to be in our national affairs, our people must feel more fully the in economic, and social solid n and must work common purpose- with a together thinking, talking, planning, and work for the Northwest. want to serv! a whole agricul ing We turally to the fullest extent because we love Americ d believe that herein lies not only our finest op portunity for service but also the most substantial and lasting profit to this region, and this can be se-| cured only when we think and tal in terms of the whole Northwest. orthwest is to continue to 1 in proportion to it wonderful productivity and facilities the people of this whol: serve for service, region should and must cooperate in a Rotarian spirit to do and to secure those things which are sound and helpful. in restoring the prosperit of the American farmer and ths will make it possible for that pro perity to continue.

Ready to Go Ahead “The Northwest has been malign- ed; its spirit misunderstood; it has been ridiculed, belittled, and berated, and yet I am confident that if’ we told the East the whole truth about the Northwest, its possibilities, the spirit of its people, the soundness and permanence of its institutions, we would soon change this attitude, A more correct and appreciative un- derstanding of our economic strength, the wholesome ideals and fine spirit of our people, is alike the urgent need of the E: and the just de- mand of the Northwest. If all the people of the Northwest would join in a. mighty campaign to bring this truth to the balance of the country, it would not be long until the North- west would be acknowledged to be what in truth it is—the peer of any section of the United States, and it , nothing will. ~ FIRST AND NORTH C.
