Club to Hold an Outing in June; i

Delegates
| Rotarians, guests and ladies, last '
! night were the guests of John K.!
Young, general agent of the Interna- J
tional Harvester Company, and after a |
short, but notable business session, en
joyed a buffet luncheon and heard a
i lecture, illustrated with slides and mo
i tlon pictures, by Ralph Bradford, from
tiie general offices of the company, in
| Chicago. They numbered 176. The lec-
I ture portrayed the great advance in
harvesting methods that have taken
place in recent years, notably since the
invention of the harvester, which has
made possible the opening of the vast
fields of the West.
iiere are some high spots in Mr.
Bradford's lecture:
Every morning the world wakes up
hungry.
The history of the world is tho
record of man's struggle for food.
The ancients died like flies as the re
sult of famine.
The ancients sought empire, fame
and genius, but failed to realize the
simple truth that the basis of civiliza
tion Is bread.
They lived on poorer rations than the
average tramp who calls at our kitchen
doors.
They were poor farmers, bound to the
soil by the land tools of slaves.
A few centuries ago it required five
days ot drudgery to raise a bushel of
wheat, to-day It takes only ten min
utes labor to produce the same results.
At the beginning of the nineteenth
century nine-tenths of the people were
still on the farm.
To-day two-thirds of theso poople arc
doing other useful work--transporting
and manufacturing' the comforts.of life
The moit important business in the
world is farming.

Rev. David J. Frum, of Pleasant <

"I was requested to bring this gen- i
tleman here by a young woman who ;
Is employed at a Market street store,' |
said Patrolman Carson. "She is on
her way here to make a complaint. I •
know nothing about the case."
Accompanied by two friends, a few i
minutes later Miss Ruth Crawford, of
West Fairview, walked into the office i
of Clarence E. Backenstoss, secretary !
to the Mayor. "What Is the charge j
you have against this gentleman?"!
asked Secretary Backenstoss of Miss'
Crawford.
"I do not want to make anyone
trouble and was advised to come hero
by my friends," spoke up Miss Craw
ford. "The gentleman called at the
store yesterday and patting me on the
hand offered me financial aid, at the
same time requesting me to name a
place where J could meet him pri
vately. He said he was a Methodist
minister and I thought it strange. He
asked me other questions as to where
I could meet him lh the evening. I
told him I was not meeting strangers
and he left the store.
"I told my mother of the occurrence
and she said T had done right, but
should not make any trouble. This
morning the same gentleman came
into the store and said some things to
other girls. I was advised by friends
to make a complaint to the police and
I did so when I saw him on the
streets."
"The girl tells the truth about my
offer." spoke up the Rev. Mr. Frum,
"but I had no evil Intentions, and she
has grossly misunderstood me. 1 was

them a chance for an education at
Allegheny College, having at my dis
posal funds to pay for such education,
and I did say I could benefit her finan
cially."
"Do you want to press the charges?"
Secretary Backenstoss.
"No, I have no charge to make,"
said Miss Crawford.
"You can go," said Secretary Back
enstoss to the minister. He went.
