TIME TO RESUME WORK.
After a Long Rest the Chamber of
Commerce Should Get Busy.
The Chamber of Commerce should
meet and elect a secretary, John A.
Goodwin's resignation was tendered
and accepted some time ago, but no
successor has thus far been elected.
Upon Mr. Goodwin's return from Chi-
cago last night he found dozens of
letters of inquiry from all parts of the
country awaiting him, which should be
answered at once Some of the letters
speak of interprlses which would be of
vast interest to El Reno, Oklahoma
City, Shawnee. Guthrie and the other
large cities of Oklahoma who have
wide-awake, alert commercial clubs,
which are on the lookout for anything
and everything which will help those
towns. The extremely hot weather
lias passed away, and El Reno's Cham-
ber of Commerce should get to work
without any further delay.
DIED FROM BROOM CORN.
Second Growth of Corn Proves Fatal
to Cattle.
Guthrie, Ok.. Oct 8 —A report is re-
ceived from Blaine county to the ef-
fect that broom corn stalks have prov-
ed fatal to cattle. It is stated that
cattle belonging to John Greer broke
into the field of .1 A Hoffman, in
Cedar Valley township, and fed off
the stubble from which broom corn
had been harvested. As a result the
cattle became sick, although in the
field but about ten minutes, and one
cow died. It is supposeed the sick-
The Rock Island people expect to

shape to allow trains to cross by Mon-
day or Tuesday Work is being push-
ed night and day Pour barrels of
„dine was sent down from here yes-
terday, to be used in big lamps to
furnish light for night work.
Commissioner Leeper says the Dem-
ocrat was mistaken in saying that
the grade at the new South Canadian
bridge had been washed away. The
road had not been graded, but it will
be necessary now to do a great deal
of grading there. The road across
the valley has been washed full of
gullies, in places many feet deep.

No Hair?
"My hair was falling out very

Mrs. G. A. McVay, Alexandria, O.

Some men are like oak leaves—they
don't know when they're dead, but
still bang right on, and there are >th-
ers who let go before anyth.ng has
really touched them. Of course I may
be in the first class, but you can be
dead sure that 1 don't propose to get
into the second, even though I know
a lot of people say I'm an old hog to
keep right along working after I've
made more money than I could spend
if I knew how. They believe that
money ought to loaf: I believe it ough"
to work They believe that money
ought to go to the races and drink
champagne: I believe that it ought t■ i
go to the office and keep sober.
I don't mind owning up to you.
though that 1 don't hang on because
I'm indispensable to the business, but
because business Is indispensable to
me. I don't take much stock in this
indispensable man idea anyway I've
never had one working for me and if
I had I'd fire him because the fello"
who's as smart as that ought to be in
b usiness for himself, and if he d'>esn '
get a chance to start a new one he s
naturally going to eat up yours. Any
man can feel reasonably well satis-
fied if he's sure that there's going to
be a hole to look at when he's pulled
up by the roots.
I starten Business in a shanty, and
I've expanded it into half a mile of
factories. I began with ten men work-
ing for me. and I'll quit with 10,000.
1 found the American hog in a mud
puddle, without a beauty spot on him
except the curl in his tail, and I'm
having him nicely packed in fancy
cans and cases, with gold medals hung
al over him. But after I've gone some
other fellow will come along and add
a postgraduate course in pork pack
ing and make what I've done look like
a country school just after the teach-
er's been licked. And 1 want you to
be that fellow. For the present I shalk
report at the office as usual, because
I don't know any other place where I
can get ten hour's fun a day' year in
and year out.
After forty years of close acquaint
ance with it I've found that work is
kind to its friends and harsh to its
enemies. It pays the fellow who dis-
likes it his exact wages, and they're
generally pretty small. But It gives
the man who shines up to it all the
money he wants and throws in a heap
of fun and satisfaction for good meas-
ure.—From "Old Gorgon Graham.
