HOT WEATHER BOOSTING.


One of the hardest things in the
world to do is to hold booster or
ganization together during hot wealth
er. Our Commercial club has JOB
on its hands to keep things moving.
Every good citizen must do his share
TO prevent stagnation and lethargy.-
Auskogee Phoenix. A general COM
plant and one Of great moment to any
city. The hot weather is one OF the
best OF times TO make arrangements
for the fall business, and be ready for
The winter. In business there should
be no waiting nor vacation. It is a
continual grind that makes a success.
Enid Wave-Democrat. 1t is evident
from the above utterances of our es-
teemed contemporaries that other
cities besides Chickasha have hard
time to keep the boosting machine go
ing during the summer. Even the
editors whose special hobby is boost
ing finds it difficult to 80 up against
the collar hard when the perspiration
Is oozing from his brow, but the rules
Of the game say boost" so we roll
up our sleeves and sail in.
Now, one of the fundamental prin-
ciples Of the town building business
during warm weather is not to grow
weary in welI-doing or 70 faint by the
wayside. Let us learn lesson from
The frisky mercury which does not al
low summer to interfere with its ac-
tivity bnt ateadily perseveres In its
effort to get out OF the little bulb
at the bottom Of the thermometer and
to climb to the very top 5e the tube
If that illustration doesn't inspire you,
we don't know what will.
Another cardinal principle is to be
patient with our fellow-men. The nat
ural tendency is to expect somebody
else to do something even If we our
selves are victims Of that tired feel
Ing. We should not expect anyone
else to burst his wearing apparel
boosting while we are content to sit
in the shade and use a fan. You fel-
lows who are kicking about what the
boosters are not doing, may we be
permitted to inquire what you are do
ing for the good Of the order? Bet
four bits you haven't done anything
for month--but "beef and croak."
There is one duty inculcated by all
the authorities, which nobody should
neglect during the summer It's a
simple duty and doesn't require exer-
tion. 1t consists merely in keeping
your dues to the Chamber OF Com
merce paid up and refraining from
knocking" Our friend Kirk" is
working in his Office about steen
hours every day and often far into
the night. He's doing lot Of things
that most Of us don't know anything
about. He happens to be one Of those
fellows who doesn't blow his own
horn very much but is content to say
littl eand saw wood. He might be
making big noise in the newspa-
pers, telling US what big things he is
going to do but he believes, rightly
we think, that it is better to do things
and talk about It afterwards.
And SO even if things don't move
along as swiftly as we think they
ought to and even if we don't always
like the way the machine is run, let
us be patient and, above all, be loyal
to our home town and home interests,
remembering always that Chickasha
cannot 90 forward unless we keep all
our forces compactIy united. II you
have a grievance or If you see how
something can be done TO make things
90 faster tell 1t to the secretary
know he will be glad 70 hear you.
