women who drive their own cafs has
SO largely Increased during the past

Some women when asked why they

One OF the most serious foilies Of the

does at the expense Of every fiber of

the most promtnent physicians. II

Meeting at Hartman.

AT an enthusiastic meeting of
the farmers under both the Amity
and Mammoth canals at Hartman
last Saturday, the question of the
joint construction of an immense
reservoir for both projects was dis
cussed pro and con. Among the
speakers were some of Prowers
county's staunchest citizens. While
no decisive action was taken the
consensus of opinion seemed to be
to proceed slowly in the matter.f

LETTERS FROM FRIENDS.

In the past two weeks The Chief.
tain has received a large number
of letters from friends, patrons and
acquaintances in the State asking
what they could do for us in our
$4,000 heartbalm suit, brought by
disgruntled "reformer" of Holly,
who got the worst of it in news
paper battle.
TO each and all of these we stated
that no favors were desired, al
though we rejoiced at the true blue
friendship manifested in h e
epistles, and we shall ever strive to
deserve their kindly consideration
and respect.
Meantime this paper is securing
the greatest advertisement in its
history, and its patronage increases
day by day, for which the editor
protfers his profound thanks.

"HoLLY COUNTRY FOR MEv"
Says Kansan Who Sees the
Light,

Frank X. Carlson, the genial
farmer north of town, who has
been residing in Manhattan, Kan,
for the past year, is back again and
declares he will never again desert
his Colorado home, as the Holly
district never looked better to him
in many years.
The fine fields of alfalfa, sugar
beets and small grain appealed to
him as never before, hence his de-
cision to return to..a country laden
with the best on earth.
Accompanying him to Holly was
Christian Seufer, from the Father
land, who has also acquired beau
tiful tract just north of town.
Both will bring their families next
month.

WESTERN COURAGE.

The courage of the fellows who are max.
ing the west teaches lesson that is sub.
lime. God never made a prettier country
or with richer soil out of doors. The
soldiers who battle with the piowshare
and with head and heart and hands will
ultimately gain the victory over the vi.
cissitudes of the elements. As an un.
broken colt is whipped to bear the harness
so will these plains be subdued and caused
to yield up their fruit. II were far better
to have done your part in helping solve
this great problem and attained moderate
success in country where you have to
fight than to be roaring lion in an old
den that your daddy made,
