FIFTY-THIRD ANNUAL CONVENTION 59 



down here that we are on the road to happiness. It was my 

 privilege to stand in the Roycroft shop and he said "If you 

 find this work you will know what happiness is if we do not 

 get happiness through work itself. I think there should 

 be both happiness and work. We down here are willing to 

 work. I have seen people who work and are willing to 

 work who never reach wealth. It is because they do not run 

 their business to procure wealth and that is the reason we 

 want people to come here that those in the cities should 

 support those in the country, in bringing organizations that 

 will bring success to all concerned. 



Over in Cortland ,New York, a couple of young men 

 received a woven wire machine, and the freight rates were 

 high and they wanted to make woven wire and they said it 

 can't be done but they did and after forty years they have 

 a great factory there. They wanted to live in Crotland and 

 they have made their town known throughout the world. 

 David Mayo, the great surgeon did not live in the center of 

 the world but he built his hospital at Rochester, a little^ 

 town in Minnesota, and he has made his town known 

 throughout the world from the success they have made. We 

 have learned this too — the people down here in Saline 

 County, and we are going to reach out and teach you how 

 too. We are here the center of the coal belt and when that 

 is worked out it is going to be taken from the soil that we 

 will have to take our crops. We do not have to go to the 

 big centers to have happiness. The Mayo Brothers wanted 

 to live in Rochester and they built their hospital there and 

 they live there and they are known the world over. Over in 

 Chicago Armour did not have the materials for his big 

 packing plant but he wanted to live in Chicago and he 

 brought the materials to his plant. The people who manu- 

 facture shoes want to live in the east and so they build their 

 plants in the east. And we want to live here and we are 

 going to utilize the message these folks have brought here. 

 I hope this will be passed on. This happiness is yours and 

 you can help yourself and come this way again. 



THE TOASTMASTER : A district visitor went to see 

 an old Scotch woman who was apparently on her deathbed.
