Not be- ing a luncheon date of the local club, it went uncelebrated here, except be- ing recalled by members. ‘The first club was formed in Chi- cago by Paul Harris and _ three friends. Two of the original found-| ers. Paul Harris and Sylvester/ Schiele, still are active Rotarians | Harris expected to attend the district conference at Minot April 15-16. From this original club, Rotarians and the idea of service have de- veloped into more than 3,000 clubs all over the world and to more than 140,- 000 members. Their idea grew slowly at first, but within five years there were 16 Ro- tary clubs in the United States, and 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, now represented in 44 na-| tions. | Among the milestones in the growth | of Rotary from one man, Pau!

In the last year~the preliminary negotiations have been started for creation of clubs in Greece. Turkey, Egypt. Java, Manchuria, Jugoslavia and other lands whose habits of thought and customs differ widely from ‘Amerida. f Groups of the leading business and professional men keenly interested in the idea of such a world fellowship have been brought together in Ath- ens, Constantindple, and in Dairen. Manchuria, to discuss the principles ‘and purposes of Rotary and its intro- duction into their community tife. This extension carries out one of the principal objects of Rotary, the organization of a world fellowship of ‘business and professional men to ad- vance the cause of international un- derstanding and good-will. | | Nearly 300 new Rotary clubs have CARL yt St. Paul—(#)—After 30 years of service, Carl Dillon, warrant officer and ban imaster of the 3rd U. 8.

Bergeson’s, 1 TIONS HAVE RIGHTS AS INDIVPNIALS, SAYS PRESIDENT COOLIDGE United States Believes in Na- tional Defense, So Main- tains Army, Navy Washington, Feb. 23.—(7)—Presi- dent Coolidge in a George Washing- ton’s birthday address last night de- clared that in the thought of Wash- ington’s day: “An alliance meant the banding together of two or more nations for offensive and defensive purposes against certain other na- tions either expressed or implied.” “It was a purely artificial creation,” he said. “It had no reference to an association of practically all nations in an attempt to recognize their com- mon interests and discharge their common obligations. While we should at all times defend our own independ- ence, and maintain our own sover- eignty, we should not forget that all nations as well as all individuals have natural and inalienable rights ‘of life, liberty and the pursuit of happi- ness, in the words of Jefferson, and, whilt we should fail disgracefully in our mission in the world if we did not protect those rights for ourselves, we shall also fail if we do not respect them in others.” The president spoke at George Washington University where he and Mrs. Coolidge were given the honor- ary degrees of doctors of laws. His audience included members of the cabinet and the diplomatic corps. President Coolidge asserted that the United States was on cordial and friendly relations with every nation in the world with the exception of Russia. He said that the uncertain- ties which existed south of the Rio Grande have been very much relieved and that domestic disorders in central America had been. adjusted. “Of course,” he said, “our citizens meet the citizens of other countries in commercial rivalry in the market Places of the world. But this does not raise any issue between our gov- ernment and cther governments. We believe in a policy of national de- fense and maint-in ~» army and navy for that purpose. We are committed to the principle of limitation of arm- aments. The other great powers through the public opinion of their People and the binding obligation of their treaties are more firmly com- mitted to this principle than we are. Each government is conscientiously seeking to extend this principle. It does not raise any issue among us.” After his resume of the position of the United States with regard to oth- er countrics he declared: “This is the position which I judge Washing- ton wished his country to occupy.” In paying tribute to Washington, the p-*sident ~rid that he was the super- jor of Jefferson as a statesman and if +8 a better business man than H2m- ton. of C, Is Selecting ‘30 Canvassers for Membership Drive The list of canvassers for the a < The plan ‘s to put cut 30 solicitors to interview the business and profes- sional men who are not now members of the assoviation, but whose co- operation would be a big help in put- ting over the’1929 program of com- munity activities.

ONE-CENT GAS TAX INCREASE APPROVED Passage of a bill providing a one- cent increase in the state gasoline tax was recommended today by the sen- ate state affairs committee. The propbsed increased revenue would be distributed to the counties for road purposes. As recommended for passage the bill gives oil dealers a@ commission of three per cent for guaranteeing payment of the tax and for making collections. The proposal to eliminate the refund provisions of the present law, in so far as they ap- ply to the additional one cent tax, was stricken from the bill. ¢ ‘Two other bills proposing to amend the gasoline tax law were removed from further consideration. The Present gasoline tax law was adopted by a vote of the people in 1926, Pershing Calls: But Does Not Meet Foch Paris, Feb. 23—(?)—General John J. Pershing, making his first visit since his attack of the grippe, called at the home of Marshal Foch today. The rule against the non-admit- tance of visitors to the marshal’s room which has been in force ever since he took to his bed a month ago was not lifted in favor‘of General Pershing any more than it had been for Premier Poincare, General Von Weygand and other personal friends, but the commander-in-chief of the 4.

The senator, after an interview with Mr. Hoover which lasted moi. than an hour, said he was confident that there would be reorganization in the patronage system in the -tates So far investigated. “I am convinced,” he «declared, “that the Daugherty and Fall scheme of patronage is over forever. I am convinced that the Hoover adminis- tration will be honest ‘n this respect, as it will be in all others.” Investigations, which so far have covered the states of Mississippi, South Carolina and Georgia, will be actively and forcefully carried on in other states of the south about which complaints have been lodged, Brook- hart continued. On February 28 R. B. Creager, national Republicen com- mitteeman from Texas, will appear before his committee and the patron- age situation in Texas will again come under scrutiny. | Senator Brookhart also discussed with the president-elect the agricul- tural situation and the necessity for farm relief. He reiterated what he had said before Mr. Hoover's depart- elect had a concrete plan for the ful- fillment of all his agricultural cam- paign promises and that he was not certain that Mr. Hoover had definite- ly decided upon a secretary of agri- culture. He gave it as his opinion that the special session of congress to deal with farm relief and the tariff would be called nearer April 8 than April 15, the date generally men- tioned.
