NOW LEr Us PRAY.


The editors and Secretary Allard
have been dealing oat large chunks of
townbnildIng wisdom for Ehe c0nsunp-
si0u of the citizens 81 Chiekasha- No
6oabt from the whole mass some very
nutrEtious and digessibIe portions may
b. sxtrarted Anyway. let MS hope
that pome stimulus may have been
given to Us through the discussion of
ttin subject in which ali citizens are
40 vitality interested.
Fortunately The conditions with
which We have 10 deal In chickaslla
are not sach as have caused sleepless
nights 70 public spirited people in Tess
favored and less promising c0mmuni-
ties. We are not confronted with the
proposition Of resurTecting a dead Of
sleeping tom. Far from IT. We are
orly required 10 meet the conditions
and rise I'd the necessities Of one Of
The most prosperous and fastest grow
ing towns In Oklahoma A fond par
ent with 4 sick child on his hands has
sorrow indeed. but the parent Of a
heaItny, vigorous child has 10 hustle
70 keep the youngster in clothes and
provide for his other necessities OF
course the parent Is more fortunate IN
the latter case than In the former.
Every condition in chlckasha offers
encouragement to men ambitious to
build city. and our progress in the
past affords abundant grounds for the
hopes vie entertain for the future The
meaning Of this stir we are having
about boosting is that our citizens are
beginning TO realize more than ever
the opportunities before them and the
corresponding necessity for taking ad
vantage OF them In the best way posi-
Bile. It IS realized that the work before
rs Is a challenge to every man inter
ested in chickasha to put his best foot
forward and to enter, heart soul and
cash, into the campaign for town ad
yancement.
The Express doesn't share the views
Of those who think our BODYBUILDING
efforts In the past have been Of no
avail. On the contrary, we believe
that the work Of our commercial club.
even before it was an everyday work
ing Institution, with a secretary giving
all his time to his office, was worth
far more than II cost us, and that
during the past two years, with a bet
ter organization. the benefits have
been proportionateIy greater. BY the
same token and with the same faith,
we believe a still better organization,
more literally supported and co-Opera-
tion, viii accomplish gill large re-
suits.
Even with the small number Of citi-
zens who are at present enlisted in
the work. we don't think for moment
that ChIckasha Is going to hesitate
Ia her career OF progress. but we are
confident that with larger army of
well organized pushers. loyal TO the
organization and proud Of membership
in It. we can hasten our gait very per
ceptibly That is why we argue the
necessity for organization, the best
that can be devised. and that Is why
we urge every citizen to enter enthus~
iastically into the work before US.
We cannot afford to be satisfied
with our past achievements and pres
ent prospects, but must reach out for
the larger things that are before us.
With unanirnity Of purpose, with mu-
tual consideration for the views Of
each other, without discordant back
biting or knocking, but with hearty
good will, we should seek to ally our
selves In compact. harmonious. con
quering organization. And then just
watch the old town growi
