successful farmers have already
found that barley and oats seeded

millet, soybeans, sorghum, sweet
potatoes, turnips and other root

LOS ANGELES, Calif., July 23.—
Charles H. Hatton of Wichita,
Kans., was elected to the Presidency
of Lions International in the final
session of the Lions Convention
which closed here yesterday.
Mr. Hatton is President of the
Peoples Finance Company of Wich
ita and holds office in several other
large corporations in Wichita. He
attended school at Southwestern
College and the University of Colo
rado, afterwards going abroad to
Study at Sarbonne University in
Paris. »
As chief executive of the 2650
Lions clubs throughout five coun
tries, Hatton states that “Lionism
will make no departure at this timo
from its established policy of mak
ing haste slowly in over-seas ex
pansion. However,” he continued,
“there will be no ‘marking time’ un
til economic conditions get better.
We look forward confidently to the
time when Lionism will be estab
lished in every city and town in this
continent that desires to build a
better citizenship and a better com
munity in which to live.”
“It is a question whether any as
sociation of any kind has ever
equalled the records of the 17,050
activities carried on last year by our
2650 clubs or has exercised an in
fluence which has been so far
reaching.”
Probably the greatest service
Hatton has rendered the Lions As
sociation and the country as well is
the outstanding work he has done
in promoting the adoption of the
“Moral Code For Youth” in most of
the school rooms throughout the
country. Mr. Hattoii was also res
ponsible for the compilation of
three text books known as “Studios
in Conduct” to be used for supple
mentary study in connection with
the “Moral Codes For Youth.” The
first book in this series of studies
was designed for the primary
grades, the second for the inter
mediate grades, and the last for the
7th and 8th grades. Hatton him
self feels that this is one of the
best pieces of work in which he haa
ever had the privilege to partici-
pate,
Mr. Hatton is a past master of the
largest Masonic lodge in Kansas
and a member of the Midian
Shrine.
As manager of the Good Govern
ment Club of Wichita, Charles Hat
ton became one of Wichita’s favor
ite sons by improving local govern
ment and promoting civic improve
ment, while with the Lions Associa
tion Hatton became a favorite in
1927 when he was elected a director,
of the association at the Miami
Convention. Since that time he
has served in all capacities of the
official group of the association un
til his election here today to the
highest position in the Internation
al Association.
