Roberts Finds the Weak Spot

DR.. Frank H. H. Roberts, of
the University of Denver, was in
| Holly Monday and inspected the
Union High School, with view
to putting it on the University's
list of accredited schools. He
expressed himself as we'll pleased
with the instruction, discipline
and general work of the school,
but said most emphatically that
he could promise no recognition
by the University until the school
library had been placed on a de-
cent footing.
The library now contains about
300 volumes. They are all good
books, most of them being refer
ence works which have been ad-
ded recently. This is a good
start but it is only start. More
good books are needed immed-
lately.
Every land agent and real es-
tate man knows that the first
question invariably asked by
those who are thinking of locat-
ing here is in regard to the
school.
Now we are doing a great deal
of talking about boosting Holly,
but the fact is there is no better
way to boost Holly than to
boost Holly's school. A reason
able amount invested in the Ii
brary will give our school rec
ognized place among the best in
Colorado. Now, what shall we
do about it? Shall we "knock"
or shall we "boost?" Or shall
we sit quietly down and do moth
ing?
Already something has been
done. Subscriptions to the
amount of about 5000 have been
taken on condition that $500 shall
be raised. We believe there are
20 people in Holly who are SO
public spirited that they will be
glad to give from SIS to $40 to
this good cause. If so, the re-
mainder of the amount can easily
be raised in subscriptions of from
one to three dollars.
Call at Ikelman's store and get
on the list. Help grease this
squeak. Do it now.

Save This Anyway .

Here is simple homemade
mixture as given by an eminent
authority on Kidney diseases,
who makes the statement in a
New York daily newspaper, that
it will relieve almost any case of
Kidney trouble if taken before
the stage of Bright's disease. He
states that such symptoms as
lame back, pain in the side, fire.
quent desire to urinate, especial
ly at night; painful and discolor-
ed urination, are readily over
come. Here is the recipe; try it:
Fluid Extract Dandelion. one
half ounce; Compound kargon,
one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Take
a teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here IN
town is authority that these in
gradients are all harmless and
easily mixed at home by shaking
well in a bottle. This mixture
has peculiar healing and sooth-
ing effect upon the entire Kidney
and Urinary structure, and often
overcomes the worst forms Of
Rheumatism in just a little
while. This mixture is said to
remove all blood disorders and
cure the Rheumatism by forcing
the Kidneys to filter and strain
from the blood and system all
uric acid and foul, decomposed
waste matter, which cause these
Affections. Try it if you aren't

Teachers Meeting.

The 60 odd schoolma ANS of
Prowers county, with an occa-
sional member of the sterner sex
to vary the monotony, met here
last Saturday at the M. E.
Church to discuss the various
phases Of school work.
A sumptuous banquet, served
by ladies and gentlemen of Hol-
ly, followed, and the responses
to the various toasts elected the
fact that many of the members
possessed literary talent of no
mediocre degree, especial mention
being due Miss Alice Beers of
Amity.
The guest of honor was DR.. T.
H. H. Roberts, who made some
witty remarks on the teacher anil
the school room.
Colonel Wiley made one Of
his characteristic speeches, which
was heartily appreciated, bring
ing forth much applause.
The one conspicuous element
not in harmony with the intelli
gence of the body was the pro-
gram card, which might have
been considered highly apropos

Note the Postal Law.

From now on all subscriptions
to The Chieftain must be paid in
advance. This is in accordance
with new ruling of the postal
department which declares th'.t
no claims for circulation will be
allowed except those based on
actual paid subscriptions.
In order to be admitted to the
postofice the label on the wrao-
per of each paper must show
that the subscriber is not in ar
rears or receiving the paper
gratis.
The action of the postoffice de-
partment makes it necessary for
all subscribers who receive their
paper through the mails, to pay
cash in advance.
While the new ruling may work
temporary hardship on a few
subscribers it is believed that the
general effect will be beneficial
for all concerned.
Send in your checks now and
thus get square with Uncle Sam
and The Chieftain at the same
tirna s@
Ali subscribers failing to settle
BY April 1, 1908, will have to be
dropped, because Uncle Sam
not we-says so. Failing to hear
from you, a collector will call, or
bill mailed.

duIl times lasted for half a dozen
years, with numerous Bankruptcies
ana all sorts OF financial wrecks.
But ,his was generation ago. ami
IS remembered imperfectly by the
mass of the population.
Fifteen years ago the panic came
iaTd after a Democratic triumph
Just as that of 1873 came after a
Republican victory. Moreover the
Ianic OF 1898 came before tacrc
had been any legislation by the
Democrats, and could not fairly be
attributed to any such cause. But
The fact that II came during Il Dem
ocratic administration was accepted
by great many as proof that u
''as caused by the Democrats By
the time new president was I -
aucurated the dull times had ru,
their course, and prosperity speedily
returned That the panic and the
'e1\ rs happened D follow close

All this however. was changed
Last year. The Republicans were
in power in all departments of the
government. and yet n panic came
on. They insist that they were not
to blame for 1t. but certainly they
were rs much to blame as were the
Democrats in 1898. They had al
ready announced the rule that Re
publican success meant prosperity.

they we're estopped from saying the
panic had no partisan bearing.
They had insisted to the contrary
for many years, and so were com
m!ttcl to a principle which the bus
mess rcverses showed to be unten-
able.
In ypite of this demonstration of
the fa!sity Of the Republican CON
tention. the party's candidate for
the presidency comes forward and
insists that Democratic success
means prosperity. This contention
is out~orn. Not only are the facts
of long ago opposed to it. but re-
