up yesterday by the committee ap-
pointed by the presidents of the two
organizations.
Secretary \Y. Kuwitzky ha- set
the goal for 50(1 new members and
judging from the enthusiasm already
shown it may surpass even that num-
ber.
The rule? will be submitted to the

The contest will begin Wednesday,
May 26, and end Wednesday night,
June 9, lasting two weeks. In de-
fining those eligible for members in
this contest, the rules state, "anyone

MARKETS GO SOWN
WITH GENERAL FALL
Local Dealers TIeport Prices in a
Slump; Wheat Will Open High
Is Prevalent Belief.
Norman markets reflected the
general downward tendency oi na-
tional exchanges yesterday. Grain
especially was prominent in th'-
downward trend.
Corn took a sensational tumble
Friday, dropping from 12 to 7 cents
on the market This is probably due
to a flooded market, local dealers be-

lions cf bushels.are >e. offered oti
the marked, buyers evidently becom
ing alarmed over the general drop
of all kinds of products.
Wheat Will Be Up.
Grain prices quoted here yesterday
were: wheat, $2.75. slightly down;
corn. $1.70, 2 to 10 off, and oats, $1,
slightly off. As yet local prices
have not been greatly effected by
the current low priccs. Dealers
think th it wheat due to a short crop
this year will bring a good price,
probably opening up at $2.50.
Otherwise, however, the drop
seems to be general. Judging by
prices at the Kansas City market,
on which local price' are based
prices will continue to go down
The general tightening of financial
conditions^ will make a rise practi-
cally impossible, dealers say
The same downward tendency was
observed at produce markets. The
r M. Jones Produce company quot-
ed hens at 30 cents, roosters at 15
cents, spring chickens at 50 cents
and eges at 33 cents. Spring chick-
ens will drop in price rapidly, it was
said, the present high price 'ieing due
to early products.

Definition of a Chamber
of Commerce
\ modern Chamber of Commerce is an organ-
ization through which public spirited citizens in
:t community may express themselves collectively
on questions of community welfare, and through
which they may make their collective desires ef-
fective.
A modern Chamber of Commerce is a body of
men and women acting in their capacity as cit-
zeus. not as representatives of any special group
>r class, and devoted to the material and cultural
idvancemeiit of the whole community.
Nearly every man considers himself public-
spirited and wants to help make his town a bet-
ter place in which to live and work. The Cham-
ber of Commerce is organized to help every man
who wants to help his town. It co-ordinates all
jrces for community improvement and gives
Ihem direction and driving power.
The commercial organization is truly open for
he discussion of all subjects of community in-
erest: hut more than that it is the engine that
nakes the co-ordinated efforts of its individual
uembeis a real pulling force.
A Chamber of Commerce, nowadays, is an
organization of those people within the com-
munity who are desirous of forwarding its wel-
fare and who believe that they can best do this
Lhrotigh cooperative effort.
A Chamber of Commerce is the watch tower
ior opportunity, not simply to anticipate evil,
!ut to icent opportunities, opportunities for in-
ternal improvements of all -orts. Just as the
man standing ou the top of the mountains look-
ing east will catch the first rays of the rising sun
1 11before the people in tho valley below will
know that the sun is coming up at all. so the
''.lumber of Commerce will see opportunities 'or
the c:t\ long before the men engaged in tile coin
.nerc or the city will know the opportunity is
omit) n.
The Lion's Club of Norman lias challenged the K<>-
tar\ Ou!) of Norman, to a contest to see which organiza-
tion can add the most members to the Norman ( hamber
of Commerce.
These are both strong clubs and no doubt that a stir-
ring contest will be waged for the good of Norman.
Are you a member of the Chamber of Commerce.J Ii
you are not, vou should be. N ou are given an invitation
and an opportunity to become one.
When you see a Lion coming, don't run; they are
docile.
When a Rotarian greets you, you'd just as well come
through; they're 'most as persistent as the Lions.
They're both after vou.

Definition of a Good
Citizen
A good citizen is one who is willing at all times
lo make some sacrifice of his time, means and
Convenience to advance the common welfare and
has .such an abiding interest in thU that he is al-
ways watchful and need no urging t<> do his duty,
(lion Jud^on A Harmon, of Ohio.)
A man may labor quietly in his chosen field
nd never be known to the public generally and
still be the very best kind of citizen. He may
be engaged in the very lowliest kind of ^work but
if lie does that work to the best of his ability,
and labors not alone for his own material wel-
fare hut with the ultimate aim of helping others,
he i- a good citizen. If he works for himself alone
with no thought for others, he is not and cannot
be a good citizen. In my opinion, unselfishness is
[he very foundation of good citizenship and good
government. (Hon. Hernia t . Baehr.)
Zealous in business, not permitting his daily-
task to obscure his vision of life's great prob-
ms, honestly liquidating his debt to the com-
nunitv by expending time, to thought, or money,
evade both social and civic standards, he,
whether rich or poor, i- a good citizen, i Harry
A Wheeler. Former President of the C hamber
of Commerce of the United States)
\ -nod citizen must be honest, honorable, and
just in his relations to mankind. loyal to his
friends, to family and to country, and loyal to
convictions and conscience: ' hrvalrtc to the weak
and dependent ready to - cimti. <- personal in-
tcre-t and persona! comfort for the good of the
■ommunitj to fight for the right and not only
pull Ills own weight, but help raise the moral
standards of his community to a higher lsvel.
