Even the villages of Iowa are &C
quiring the booster spirit and planning
for promotion of the public good
through united effort. From the little
town of Ware comes the following dif-
ferentiation between a booster and a
knocker:
"a booster is one who does all the
good he can, for all the people he
can, for the longest time he can, and
leaves the rest to God. A knocker is
made to hang on the outside OF The
door-and for heavens sake, let 1t
hang there"

The Reorganization of Standard OIL
Causes Him to Return to New York
After Arriving Home for Season..

Cleveland, Ohio-The unusual and
sudden departure of John ID. Rookie
Teller from this city Saturday was
made so that the oil king could be
present at conferences at 26 Broad
way, New York, which will determine
how the Standard Oil company is to
be reorganized. His secretary here
admitted that Mr.. Rockefeller went
East for that purpose.
Cleveland men who are close to the
richest man in the world assert that
it is probable Mr. Rockefeller wants
to have a hand personally in the con-
ferences which will determine the
future course of the oil trust.
This is the first time in years that
Rockefeller has gone East after ar
irving at his summer home, Forest
Hill, for the season. He is averse to
taking long journeys in the summer.
His friends believe that something
unusually important led him to take
the journey.
Saturday night he slipped out OF
town, after giving his servants at
Forest Hill strict orders not to tell
of his departure.
