NEW FlAGPOLE
FOR STATE CAPITOL

This morning the people of Carson
who looked up at the dome of the
Capitol saw a little dumpy fiagpole
about seven feet high surmountins
the dome OF the Capitol. 1t had
gilt ball on the top apparently much
too big for the pole. 1t was the one
which replaced the old pole blown
down a few weeks ago by gale Of
wind.
Well amt that the limit
Don't that look dumpy About as
high as a man. Guess the Capitol
commissioners have another streak of
economy"
We'll I'll be d
Lord that's a cheap proposition" "
All along the line went the curses
and comments, some of which could
not be printed in a family paper.
Well about noon the pole seemed
higher and it kept rising up higher
and higher and then it dawned on
the knockers that the pole was being
pushed up from the inside of the
dome as it is being painted and when
it finally reached it's place it was a
/ taller and finer pole than the old one
and the great ball of gold on the TOP
/ reflected the rays Of the sun and
| looked almost like a planet in the
| sky.
No use talking this is the finest
pole ever in the state and is al
right"
Sure those Capitol Commissioners
know what they are about, lets hav,

morning has the following:
The grand concert by Madam

ent, given last night in the Methodist
church under the patronage OF the
Optimistic society, was naturally

Whether the numbers the vocalist
selected last night commanded the
full sympathy and feeling OF her au-

is certain-it took Arditis II Bacio,
her selection next to the final one on
the programme, TO warm up her aud

brought the singer from the beautiful
Italian TO the ever popular Scotch in

OF the greatest composer France has
produced in modern times, Saint

the science OF nature study is
only in it's infancy. The school
garden that was once pooh-pooh-
ed as a foolish fad is now accept
ed bv the United States commits
sioner of education and by the
leading universities OF the land as
vital to our public school system
as manual training OF any sort,
writes Herbert ID. Ward in the
May Woman's Home Compan-
ion.
THE first school garden in the
United States was started six
teen years ago by Henry L. Clapp
in the George Putnam grammar
school in Boston. Over eighty
years ago Austria and Sweden
began the movement At present
no rural school in Sweden is
without one. Russia is far ahead
of us. There are over twenty
thousands in Austria and thirty
thousand in France. The reason
why school gardens are fostered
by foreign governments is that
wherever they exist there is de
crease OF misery and poverty and
an increase in the birth rate and
in the appreciation OF nature.

Odd Fellows Blowout.

The S8th anniversary OF Odd Eel
lowshp was fttingly celebrated in
Holly last Friday, with the kind as
sistance OF several hundred iratcrnal
visitors from Lamar. Prowcrs, Gra
NADIA. Amty and other points in the
Arkansas valley.
After an extensive program in the
afternoon the Rcbckah lodge enter
tanned the gentlemen and ladies OF
these orders at sumptious banquet,
which required several hours of their
time in order to properly stow away
all the good and dainty things that
were provided for the occasion.
The Lamar team put on the second
degree for the cdiication of a few
unsophistcated youths OF Holly who
wanted to be more fraternal. The
goat had also gotten at some OF the
lunch baskets and filled up without
the consent OF the team, so he was
unprepared to give the boys as hard a
tussle as they had anticipated. After
the Odd Fellows had their little scs-
sion they again returned to the fold
OF the ladies, as men-cspecially mar
ried ones-arc wont to do They were
found rendering a choice musical and
literary program. after which those
who desired indulged in the terpsi-
chorcan art for several hours, or un-
til the belatcd train got this side of
Dodge City.
All the visitors agreed that they
had had the time of their lives and the
Holly boys and girls just have the
most fun ont Of an affair of this kind,
for hospitality is the long suit Of our
people.

School Election.

Monday all persons interested m
the schools Of Holly should go to
the polls and vote ior two men for
the high Office OF school director whom
they believe will have time to give it
their attention and the inclination to
do so.
The Chieftan has heard no names
mentioned as candidates for the OF
fees, but assumes that the present IN
cumbcnts are candidates for reclec-
ton. Geo. lkelman has filled this
Office to the entire satisfaction OF the
community for several terms and the
Chieitains opinion is that a better
man cannot be secured, tho we do not
wish to throw any cold water on any
one clse's possibilities should there
be other candidates.
J. b. Harden was recently appoint
ed to the Office Of secretary OF the
board and it is the opinion OF al!
whom we have interviewed that he
fills the bill.
In an interview Tuesday afternoon
Col. W. NJ. Wiley, treasurer OF the
board, said PERSONALLY | am very
much pleased with the personnel OF
the present board; harmony i'll all
things prevails. The Office OF school
director is, i'll my opinion, the high
est Office within the gift of the peo-
pie. 1t is the stepping stone to an
efficient education, without which no
one can reach the highest state OF sue
cess. The people should be very care
iul to select good men for these posi-
tons, and it matters not to me wheth-
cr they be those now retiring or 9TH
crs equally competent
Go and vote Monday, anyway, and
show that you take an interest in the
efficiency OF your schools.
