IT'S ALL OVER.
Epistle on Love Sent to The
Chieftain, after the Teach
ers Leave Town.

Editor Chieftain: am 10
spring poet, but since meeting
the sweetest-faced girls in the
state, l must tell you how it i'm
pressed me, through the definition
of Love here given:
Love is the weapon which Onl-
impotence reserved to conquer
rebel man, when all the rest had
failed. Reason he parties; fear
he answers blow, for blow; future
interest he meets with present
pleasures; but Love is that sun
against whose melting beams the
winter cannot stand. To my
mind, there is not one human be-
ing in a million, nor a thousand
men in all earth's huge quintil-
lion, whose clay heart is harden
ed against love. M. B.

Editor Chieftain: The most
pressing need for Holly in my
opinion, is soft water since the he
worst feature of the town to all
newcomers is the hard water,
which is truly somewhat disa-
greeable.
Electric lights should come
next and very soon, for Holly's
growth depends upon being able
to keep pace with other progress
i've towns of its size.
Progress means the casting
aside of petty personal matters
and looking at all public ques-
tions with that larger mind which
seeks the greatest good for the
greatest number.
And we must educate the peo-
pie to KEEP THEIR MONEY
AT HOME. Tell them about
the bargains you have for sale,
explain to them the fact that they
are not saving money by trading
in other towns, and treat them

HOLLY'S GREATEST
NEED..Contributed
A Reiuvenating of Civic Pride.

"A NcJuVSIlAttu& VI SlVlC Ffloe.
In response to your request set
forth in The Chieftain, in which
the opinion of the citizens as to
what Holly Needs Most" is de-
sired, we are persuaded to play
the role of a critic. In the first
place the word "most" is decid-
edly troublesome. There are
many things that might add
greatly to the town, both from
an artistic and utiitarian point
of view, but how are we to de-
eide which is "most' needed?
While Mr.. A. thinks that nice
city park with its velvety lawn,
its shady walks, its sparkling
fountain, and its quiet retreats
would lend enchantment to
"Weary Willie" and attractive
ness to Holly. Mr. B., who per-
haps has not had time to cultivate
the aesthetic side of his nature,
cares not for the enhancing wiles
of beauty but appreciates, rather,
the substantial things of life. He,
no doubt, would like canning
factory where Mary Ann and the
children could trap dollar, and
thus ameliorate the vicissitudes
of life. So we think, Mr.. Chief
tain, it is next to impossible to
settle on any one thing as being
"most needed unless that one
thing is large enough to include
all others.
How would this do for an an
swer to the question? A Rejuve-
mating of Civic Pride. This we
think can be nl3de TO cover any
and all enterprises.
By this Ne mean that every
IL itiasn aa,A ap-
point himself committee to work
for the upbuilding of Holly in
every way that he can be of most
service to the public at large.
We cannot expect everything
to come at once. Rome was not
built in a day." neither can Hol-
" get what she "most needs"
without the earnest, united ef-
forts of her citizens.
Why not begin by every prop
erty owner in the village resolv-
ing that during the. coming year
he will put forth his most praise
worthy efforts to beautify, and
thus enhance the value Of, his
own property. If this were done
it would not be many months
before our town would present an
entirely different appearance and
would furnish ample inducements
for the man looking for pleas
ant place to live, or a profitable
place to invest his money; this
once accomplished capital with
which to provide other things
will come to us, hence. we think
that a general awakening from
the condition of things as they
are, to what they might be, with
a little more civic pride is "What
Holly Needs Most" Yours
truly,
