Put Life and Fire Into Your WOrk-DOn't tumble
Be a ROOter-.-Be an OptimiSt
Play Ball

Not enough ball players.
Take the blue blooded man out and
let him open his mouth and breathe in
an acre OF fresh air, and yell until you
can hear him a mile, and he comes to
life and gets warm and rich and red,
and he feels like new citizen of new
world
His color is red
Catch blue-blood and get him to
indulge in one of the games of town
building and he will warm up to the
interest OF 1t just as blue-blood does
when dragged out to q game Of ball,
but the task OF interesting him the
first time is the rub; the way in which
to turn the blue into red is the prob
lem that Chickasha is up against to-
day.
What he Of the blue needs is a dose
Of optimistic ozone. sky full of fresh
air to change him to sunrise hue;
to turn him from the cold mists to
warm red, the vigor OF morning.
The progressive man, the town
builder is ever OF the rich, hot hue;
nothing Of the pale consumptive about
him; he is the force that moves things;
he is full OF hope and enterprise; he IS
builder; he believes in the world;
he has faith in the little world about
him, and the stability thereof, and he
puts his shoulder to the wheel of the
car Of progress.
You never hear rich, red corpuscle
Of blood say. stop, it isn't worth the
price
The cardinal is the sign of progress; !;
ii is the arc OF the warm sunlight;
it is the color OF brotherly love. the
color of life.
Put your money on the red
Follow the lead of the optimist; he
is the man who roots at Q ball game;
he plays on the diamond, and he plays
ball in the business world.
In the marts of trade, the red cor
puscle is in demand, so cultivate him.
Play ball; play ball!
Put life and fire into your work.
Don't tumble.

(By Cad Allard)

The hurry and hustle in business cir
cles is like unto the game OF base
ball.
There is life and snap and fire and
ginger in the great national game
Oh, it's great game.
It's an intense game.
Same with the busy whirl of life.
When the band begins to play, and
we ali march away to the diamond,
and the umpire says, "Play BALI" then
the blood begins to circle and life
takes on cardinal hue
Same as in the active whirl Of acl
tive business life.
The soul Of the game is good.
It makes active, stirring men.
1t helps the foot. for the step must
be true.
1t helps the leg. for there must be
speed
1t helpg Inc lungs, for good player
breathes an acre of pure air at a
breath.
1t helps the hand, for there must be
lightning grip.
1t helps the eye. for you must judge
fly, and the s.pt must be as the light
ming.
1t helps the brain, for the orders
must be issued quick, quick.
II helps the blood, for it is the sport
that makes II red.
It sends the rich, red fluid, hot with
life through the veins and makes a riot
OF red.
Why do so many thousands love the
game? Because OF its color.
It is a cardinal game.
1t is red; red hot.
Blue blood makes an aristocrat but
the people do not want IT,
They want, the rich red, the true
cardinal
And the pure air and exercise does it
The mines on the diamond get it. 4
The bleachers get it.
There are too many blue-bloods in
Chicxasha for the good OF all
For their own good.

REPORTS
ON SUGAR
COMBINE

New York, Nov. 49, When President
Taft and his cabinet in Washington
took up for discussion the proposition
os how to crush the sugar trust. Attor-
ney General Wickersham presented a
report compiled by Henry L. Stimson,
special acting deputy attorney general,
setting forth the crimes he expects to
prove the commission guilty OF.
1t is understood that this report de-
olares the American Sugar Refining
Company has crushed its rivals by
sheer weight of money and that it cor
rupted government inspectors without
limit; bribed leading employees Of op-
position companies to detail the bust
ness OF their companies to the trust;
contributed to the campaign funds Of
all parties, prior to the last presiden-
tion campaign so that national chair
men and committees were under obli-
cations and finally that it, by means
OF secret understanding with the
Spreckles interests in California appor-
toned the sugar trade Of the country
SO that the Independent trade has been
wiped out with two exceptions.
Business interests here are wonder.

inevitable and which will certainly
trace back to the day Of the first Amer
ican sugar refining company's incor-
poration.

SMOKERS IN HUFF
Leave City When Asked TO Stop

Francis Dining Room

Ny Lady Nicotine has again pre-
cipitated a quarrel. and because two
English women INDUCED in a cigarette
after their dinner at the st. Francis
and were asked politely to desist, a
dissension involving the customs and
manners Of three countries has arisen
as TO whether woman may or may
not smoke in a fashionable dining
room
Mr.. and Mrs. George Nugent and
Miss .. p, Smith arrived in this city
last Friday and registered at the ST.
Francis. Nugent has large interests in
the diamond fields of South Africa and
enjoys as part of his inheritance big
estates in India and the islands of
the southern seas.
OF course, there is no objection to a
gold tipped cigarette in the mouth of
a woman in the balmy climes Of India.
and the etiquette of the ocean bound
liners does not frown on a woman who
lights a cigarette while stirring her
demitasse. But at the st. Francis it
is different, a condition which Mrs.
Nugent and her young friend a tall
blonde, did not appreciate or recog-
nize.
And so Wednesday, night, when they

and gold room and each drew a cigar
cite from a gold chatelaine, they did
not expect elmaitre d'hotel to inter-

room and appealed to the manage
