Oklahoma City has had a booster
revival and added hundreds Of mem
bers to her Chamber Of Commerce.
Lawton and Tulsa have done the same
thing. All over Oklahoma ambitious
cities are marshaling their .orces and
strengthening their townbuildlng or

have an effective boosting machine is
destined to become a back number.
The man who doesn't know this has

Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Mellls, Mound
City Pedestrians, Arrive Here
For Visit.

Walking all the way from st. Louis,
Mo-, to Oftumwa, Mr.. and Mrs. Thos.
Mellis of the mound city, arrived here
Saturday evening for a visit with
their cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander
Mellis, 721 Richmond avenue, and
Mrs. L. B. kelley, 1856 North Weller
street.
Upon their arrival they registered
at the Court hotel and spent the night
there. Sunday morning, instead of go
ing to the Mellis residence, they went
to the First Presbyterian church and
took a seat in the Mellts pew and
when Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander Mellis
arrived they found their pew occupied
by their cousins 1t was joyfur meet
ing.
Although Mrs. Mellis is So years of
age and Mr.. Mellis 81 years, they are
both in good health and made the long
walk from St. Louis to Pennington in
s days, and from Pennington to OF
tumwa in two days. They love to
travel by foot, and when they are at
home in ST. Louis they take daily
walk of IS to 20 miles. They do not
walk because they have to, but for
pleasure, Mr.. Mellis being a retired
furniture dealer of st. Louis with con-
siderable means. They are tourists in
every sense of the word and have
travelled by railroad over the United
States and Europe.
Mrs. l.. e. Kelley, 1856 North Weller
street, who is a cousin of the pedes-
trians, told the reporter that during
her visit in st. Louis Mr.. and Mrs.
Mellis made daily walks and she &C
companied them on several of their
trips.
On their walk from st. Louis to OF
tumwa they averaged about rs miles
a day After their days work they
never were fatigued and could have
doubled the distance if darkness had
not overtaken them. Today they could
be seen walking over Ottumwa and
viewing the city. They made the trip
on foot and refused to ride in buggy
or on street car preferring to walk.
They will return to st. Louis by rail.
