done juniors, and may you every
one take part in another such pro-
gram. as seniors, a year hence.
OF course fortune doesn't always
favor every boy and girl and give
him or her all well days in the school
year, but when she does smile and
make perfect attendance possible,
from the health standpoint, nothing
else should be permitted to inter
fere. On looking over the high
school record, il is found that I79
days of absence are records there,
for the past school year A school
year contains only I8o days, so one
sees at a glance that in the aggre
gate, one year of school has been
lost. Rather alarming, isn't it? Four
members of the high school have
been in their places, however, every
day of the school year, and it is
worthy Of notice that they all rank
high in their classes. They are: Re-
ma Wright, Mary Pierce Maurice
Reynolds and Harry Porter. Wayne
Pierce should also be mentioned as
he was present at every session, bur
was excused for one-half day on ac-
count OF illness. 1t may also be said
here that three of the FIVE are young
people who come from the country.

Sheep Top the Market.

Last week Louis H. Kephart
shipped 1000 head of the finest
sheep that can possibly be raised
in the whole United States to
Kansas City for market.
While they were crowded into
nine cars without any serious in
convenience such sheep really
deserve better accommodations
A telegram from Mr.. Kephart
Monday to the ]. S. McMurtry,
cashier of the First National
bank of Holly stated that the
shorn lambs brought &c, while
wooled lambs topped the mar
ket in their class by selling at
$500.
These figures beat all previous
records by a large margin.
Mr.. Kephart brought the orig
inal stock in from New Mexico
last fall, driving them over the
mountains part of the way before
he reached rail facilities. then
they were said to have been badly
treated by the railroad company
while in its care.
From the financial results
achieved it is evident that Mr..
Kephart is master of the sheep
industry, and his knowledge will
be sought from all quarters here
after.
This deal will also have ten
dency to bring other sheep men
to this section of the Arkansas
valley. for there is no doubt that
this locality is especially favored
for the livestock industry.

Electric Lights in Holly.

Saturday night The Chieftain
tried out its electric lighting sys-
TEN and it proved success, when
sufficient power was available to
run the dynamo steadily. These
are the first electric lights in Hol-
ly proper. but it is expected that
they will soon have competition,
as the Holly Sugar company is
now arranging for the erection OF
small plant at its new garage,
the object being to light the Of
fee together with the residence
of Manager Wiley.
Small electric lighting plants
in other places have proven very
satisfactory, there being num-
ber of them in daily use at Garden
City and other western Kansas
towns.
Skeptics will be welcome visit
ors at the editorial sanctum most
any evening between 7 and 8
o'clock.
Several fans are now enroute
and in few days there will be
number of very inviting breezes
in the business houses of the east
side of Main street.

Heavy Wind Does Damage.

The heavy wind of Sunday
night blew about 80 feet of the
east wall Of Griswold's new gar
age over. entailing quite loss to
both Contractor Dyer and Mr..
Griswold, it delaying the latter
in getting possession OF the COM
pleted building.
Monday evening another strong
wind from Kansas took the other
wall of A. H. Griswold's garage
down. The loss amounts to about
5000 besides the delay that it en-.

Long Distance Telephone Coming

Within about two weeks both
ends of the Colorado and Eastern
Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany's line will be connected at
this place. At present one gang
of men is working near Syracuse,
while the other is at Lamar.
When they reach this point and
the two wires are fastened to-
gether large red ribbon will be
tied around the last pole.
Here are some interesting facts
in connection with the building
of this line:
For a distance of 90 miles,
commencing at Garden City and
running to a point FIVE miles west
of Syracuse, the line is absolutely
straight. This is the longest
stretch of absolutely straight tel
ephone or telegraph line in the
world. The next longest is out
of Dodge City. this being As
miles in length.
The line across Kansas is the
longest ever built by one foreman.
being over GOO miles in length.
and all is within two miles of its
center, whcih is remarkable
showing for straightness. This
line should give excellent service,
and it is intended to do SO, for the
company guarantees service at
practically any time.
