At PH Klevelith Street there Is
one of the comfortable home of
l.ubbock. It faces south on what
is known MM old I'ostoffi. e street.
It is well kept and in the summer
ha a nice (freen lawn to please
the eye fmm the porch and any
eveninif you can drive by and see
contented couple sittinjf on the
porch who will wave a u'ad hand
to you. This home belong to J. O.
(Hudt Jones and hi better half
"Sally" if 'oH please. They show-
ed the true Itotarian spirit when
they threw wide the doors to the
Kotary Club for its luncheon last
Wednesday. Not only that but
Mri. Jones belong to the Christian
Chun-h and she told the ladies
w!m .she was (foirjr to have for
cotfipany and they all camo up and
helped her iri-t dinner. On enter-
ing the living room you beheld two
tables the entire lonjr'h of the
room and one reaching out through
the ditiinif room all set and loaded
with (food thinir to eat and to
make them more attractive were
decorated with flowers. The lunch-
eon prepared by Mr. June and the
Christian Church ladies wa nicely
served and after hearing the (food
talk one did not feel like he bad
been to a ri fT'ilar Club meeting
but that he bad been entertained
royally by Mr. and Mrs. Jones and
upon leavinjr shaking hand with
Sally and Hud and saying I have
had a nice time at your party.
Potl't see how they expect a
common pencil pusher like me to
chronicle the happening of the
program enmrrit'ee at the above
le Milled luncheon. V"l know
how Keen the lli-'hp". k"t secre-
ta:y of :he ilub tall. v hi n he is
crowded for time. Say I pive y.u

vol know whiih has taken you a
life -tin. e to learn and thin he says:
shoo'.! Me rela'ed what had b-i n
done in flying since beck was a
pup and while I will not try to
til! you all be said (he was too
fast for me) but I got it that we
could get u little airplane just big
enough for one or two pasengers
that ou could s'art on thirty foot
space and after making your fl ght
land again on the same amount of
pn--e and be u:s? a snfp a you
would be in a Kurd. Then he end-
ed up his talk with saying there
wa now under construction or
would be a flying machine that
would cnrr- at lent M peonle wi'h
power to stay in the air Pi hours
and would be erpjinped wi'h sleeping-car
accommodations dinner lib-
rary and all the modern conven-
ience we now have on or through
line railroad trains. Pui't think
he gave the reason f.r the rnnid
advancement in the flying game
but you know he was in the service
and I would riot be surprised that
he got hi habit for fast movirg

When we look back and realize
that le si'ff.rcr had to go on the
operating table either strapped
down or some friend holding you
without any anaesthetic. Now they
have the X-ray to locate the trouble
and can take a photograph of the
trouble and the poctor knows not
only when to operate but where to
use hi knife. You are gently put
to sleep and feel no pain and in a
few week the patient in again all
right. Surgery is the science of
sciences and what a wonderful lot
of good a good surgeon ia and to
know that we have two hospital
in Lubbock that are seeond to none
gives one the feeling that Lubbock
i a good place to live.
H. L. Allen commonly known as
"Sherlock" told of the great ad-
vancement in the telephone tele-
graph and the radio. This was an
interesting talk and I am not go-
ing to tell you how Mr. Allen and
some of the bnya are sitting up nt
hi home listening in nn some of
the good music in New York or
possibly some man conversation
out at Catalina Island to some man
at Ing Heach or a sermon by
some noted preacher in Pallas for
the reason that I don't know. I'm
I do know that my boy was tryine-
to reach hi mother and myself
with a valentine message but as
Lubbock is not yet listed he could
not call us. It might be interesting
to know that he sent messages to

J. L. (Jimmy) Pow then told us'
what rapid strides bad been Hindu
along the printing i.f new -pa"i-rs.
How when he wa a printer "pev-
ll" they had to ret type by hand!
and get the paper out with an old
hand pies only printing only about ;
four papers a minute. He said I
something about a enrge Wash-
ingtr.l printing press. I don't just
remember what that was but I
guess it was one of the first on
the list and then came the cylinder
press with negro-power. That is
where the negro turned the thing
by hand then they hitched the
gasoline engine on to it speeding
it up a little more that is when
they were not cussing the gas
engine. Then camo the cylinder
press with electric power andfrom
what Jim says about it it is some
machine. In the large cities they
print fold and turn out ready for
delivery 73000 in a hour. This is
some fast age.
ljist but not least was a talk
made by our esteemed dairyman J.
A. Medloik on the advancement
along his line of business. You
know this is where we live. Ks-
pecially Keen who ha been trying
to teach his Rotary-Ann to make
(orn bread to crumble into the
seventy-six quarts of milk he buys
of Medlock per week ever since
he was married. Say boys he never
was weaned right. He has his
growth now and I believe his diet
should be changed and put him on
something more substantial so he
will fill out. But to get back to
Medlock't talk he tells ua how he
used to drive a milk wagon ring-
ing bell so the housewife would
-sh bev pitcher and come out and
he would dip down into a ran with
a dipper more or less clean and
measure the milk out into a pitch-
er also more or less clean. Some
of us old timers remember those
good old days. Now they don't
send a bunch of farm hands out
to milk ten or twelve cows each
but they have the cowa in per-
fectly sanitary stable and attach
rubber tubes to them and the milk
runs into air tight vessels and no
dust flies air or any foreign sub-
stances comes in contact with the
milk at all. The miik is then run
ovrr a roiding apparatus and into
the bottles and sealed. Absolutely
pure delivered at your door twice
a day. Then he told how they had
Improved the stink. How the dairy
row that did not give milk of a
-er'ain iiuabty was cut out of the
herd and sold for beef and how
they brvd up f ir milking strain of
rat' Im.

day. No obligation actual or implied
to influence business exists in Ro-
taiv and the idea of personal gain
is foreign to it. The fa.-t that is
a law of nature that when a man
heln another he help himself by
broadening his own sympathies en-
largening his rspacity for useful-
tie and making men trust him is
beide the question. Rut. when the
expe- tation of personal gain or ag-
grandizement enter into a neigh-
borly action it is not a Rotary ac-
tion. Personal work by its mem-
ber is regarded by Rotary as of
more value than by gifts by them
of money and certainly work is of
greater value in the mental and
moral value development of th
member himself. Rotary "a duty
lie along the rom! of effort rather
than nhilanthrophy. Ro'sry mem-
bership must be carefully chosen.
If we put in faul'y f.ntnadt-ion we
hU endanger th" RotHry edifice.
The line of qualification must not
deviate from its true line of men-
tal moral and physical unrighted-
pes or there will be disaster.
