WiD Jaeger Home
Destroyed By Fire
The Will Jaeger home on the
outskirts of Hochheim was total-
ly destroyed by flames of un-
known origin shortly before mid-
night Monday night, for the sec-
ond such destructive fire in re-
cent weeks.
The Yoakum Fire Department,
snswered the alarm, which was
turned in at >11:10 p.m. Monday
night, but arrived as the roof whs
falling in the house, loo Idtc to
save anything but a water tower
which furnished water for several
nearby homes. . v
The Sam Orosco home near
Petersville was also totally des-
troyed, on May 17tte,*iu another
of the most disastrous fires in
recent months in the Yoakum a-
rea. No lives were lost in either
fil*, however, since Mrs. Jaeger
was the only occupant of the
home ih Hochheim when it was
burned, and she escaped without
injury, although the flames ware
reportedly burning the wall pajier
in her room when she woke up.

neighbors who first noticed the

“No matter wlrnt your profess-
ion is you should try to be the
best in it," These words were
s|M>ken by Harry Rogers, past
president of Rotary International,
in a speech before approximately
165 Rotarians and their guests at
National Hall, Tuesday night.
The occasion marked the 25th
Anniversary of the local Rotary
Club; for which event Harry
Rogers was invited to be the
principal speaker. A man of pro-
minence, he is in great demand as
a speaker, but his public appear-
ances are rare because of his ad-
vanced age.
He explained, however, that he

tion to come to Yoakum tor this
anniversary observance in view’ of
the fact that he was president of
Rotary international and present
ed the charter to the local club
when it was organized twenty-five
years ago...
Mr. Rogers was introduced by
Rotarian Henry Paulus, who was
instrumental in bringing the
speaker to the celebration. In his
usual vivid and eloquent manner,
the Yoakum attorney pictured the
principal speaker as a man well
qualified to give words of advice
on the way to live since Mr.
Rogers lives according to the phil-
osophy he teaches, and bis life
has been exemplary.
“Do we ever think about t‘,_,
things we leuvixtadijiid-f What has
Rotary left behind ?*’ th<> speaker
asked in prefacing the remarks
which followed. O*»l
“We nerd only to <'<4mM'4' the
Rotary slogan “Service Above
Self”, and the motto “He profits
most who serves best.!" to find h
siimmiiry of the activities ami ac-
complishments of Rotary.
“Rotary is founded on service
to others, but Rotary does not
push itself to the front to be the
first to do something, or to claim
the glory. Rotary is a IVnce-biiild-
ing organization, and when a
staple is out, a wire down or a
gate broken, Rotary steps in to
repair it.
“In ether words. Rotary care-
fully surveys the field for the
things which need doing, but
which have not yet caught the
eye of some other organization.
Rotary has built, parks, schools,
aided crippled children through-
out the. world. Rotary has set up
n student loan fund to help wor-
thy students striving, to educutc
themselves.
“But. greatest of all. Rotary
has und does now teach the desire
to serve. Service of the individual
should be enthusiastic, willing,
. ‘ ‘ > »"«1
should begin iu the lltMue, extend-
ing from there into private bus-
iness, the neighborhj.od, communi-
ty, schools, church'js, and finally
we must also remember the ser-
vice we owe to GcH.”
Mr. Rogers also |>oiiited out
that the ycuth of the nation must
receive all possible help .and 'en-
couragement, because the ho]s> of

Im his report on I he proposed
tax increases, Supl. Barron said,
“Of course, when a lax ruiWe
meutioni’d; even though it
slight, there is usually to
found those who will howl about
the burden of luxation, so the lo-
cal board und friends of educa-
tion are anxious thtit all who arc
interested in the welfare of the
.wliools ami iii the welfare of the
children of our city remember the
importanct' of this election und
com■■ out and vote, for the tax on
July 17. With this small increase
iu tax, our schools can continue
to operate efficiently; without it,
the school work of the communi-
ty will be seriously impaired. We
cannot afford to let our schools
go backward, a thing which will
haiqien if the tux rate is not in-
creased. After nil, the totul a-
momit of tux which you will pay
will be only ten cents more on
the •iHMI valuation thaif you have
been paying, for the City of Yoa-
kum recently reduced the rate of
city tax by 30c on the $100 val-
uation."
