of discipline had been permitted, how
would it have been enforced?
Fhe question was prompted by the
pandemoniIm that followed upon Mr.
Pendleton's resolute rejection of Jim
Smiths proposition. Everybody in
Four Corners knew that the new
schoolmaster would soon go the way
of his predecessors. The school board,
who secretly disapproved of educa-
ton, watched matters with Snug
smiles. Smith lounged insolently in
his seat; Smith talked with his neigh
bors and contemptHously refused to
recite his lessons. -

Mr.. Pendleton, when the schoolmas-
ter demonstrated with him privately
Get out of the school? Say, yer
crazy. What'd l get out for when I'm
having the time of my life here?"
There was one thing that kept the
schoolmaster to his work That was
Susie Conner. She had told him it
was a shame the boys did not behave
better. She had counseled an ap-
peal 10 the DOarQ. A SCrOnS attach
ment had begun to dawn between the
young man and the pretty country
lass.

Mr.. Pendleton had been aware that
Smith had calf-like attachment for
the girl, but it had never occurred to
him to take him seriously.
He looked up hopelessly, and he
saw strange look in Susie's eyes. He
could not help interpreting it Alright.
1t said: Are you man enough to pre-
vent my being insulted and to stand
up for me?"
Mean that, Smith," asked Mr..
Pendleton, leaving his desk and cross
the floor.
Smith leaped at him with below.

TO ALFALFA GROWERS

The Chieftain herewith prints
an article containing timely ad-
vice to alfalfa growers as to how
to save the crop, get the highest
quality and the greatest tonnage.
This article was prepared by a
competent man and contains most
excellent advice.
When the bloom is fairly start
ed the plant has reached an ideal
stage for cutting. If left stand
ing longer it begins to deteriorate
by the stem becoming woody, the
bottom leaves turning yellow and
dropping. Every day that it
stands after maturity decreases
the tonnage of the next crop,
which is no small loss when the
weather is warm and the ground
is conditioned.
In order to get the best results
cut the crop at once. AS soon as
it wits, then rake and put it in
the cock where it will air cure,
also retaining its weight, oslor
and leaf; stacking at leisure.
Good quality will always find
ready market and command the
highest price. Nature has done
her part, so get out of the way
and she will hasten to do more.
Don't forget that in order to
retain the bright green color the
first cutting should be thoroughly
cured but not bleached in the
sun. Remember that color means
quality and largely forms the
basis of all grading.
You must have have the quality
if you expect to top the market.

REAL ESTATE DEALS

J. P. Linville late last week
closed two nice real estate deals,
one for residence property and
the other for a tive-acre tract.
The first deal was the residence
property formerly owned by Mrs.
Mary R. Sype, who resides in
Denver, and this pretty five-room
house was bought by J. O. Barg-
er, night foreman at the Santa
Fe shop, who will move into same
at once.
The A. L. Hare property just
north of town, consisting Of five
acres of land and nice cottage,
was purchased by l.. T. McMur-
try, and we understand that it is
his intention to occupy same i'm
mediately after he completes
some improvements upon same.
1t will make him a nice home
place.
Real estate deals will be made
thick and fast here shortly, as a
number of home seekers are COM
ing in each week.

A SAD STORY

People of a sympathetic dispo-
sition should not read this story
because it is the saddest tale of
the year.
Last Sunday morning was a
glorious one-t e sun Shone
bright and fair-nature smiled
last Sunday morning.
Last Sunday evening-oh, draw
the curtain over the dreadful
night.
The Holly ball team girded their
loins and departed for Fort Lyons
while the sun was shining. They
were at peace with the world
but intended to scalp the enemy
before the shades Of evening fell.
But the navy boys objected,
and in the language Of the Court,
the objection was sustained-by
a score of 20 to 4.
Twas a slaughter Of the inno-
cents twas even worse than a
slaughter, twas massacre.
No one can tell how it happen
ed-no one cares to know. There
is not a man in town who will ad-
nit having been there. But any
how, we met the enemy and we
are their'n.

MASS MEETING

A mass meeting of the citizens
of Holly is called for next Mon
day evening, June 18th, to decide
whether or not this town will hold
a 4th of July celebration this year.
The meeting will be held in the
club rooms and all those interest
ed are invited and requested to
attend.
This celebration could only be
made a large success by the hearty
cooperation of the intire town. 1t
will require some hard work but
we should certainly celebrate.
Come out and let US hear your
views.
This article is printed at the re-
quest of some interested citizens.

BUYS INTEREST

Last week Mr.. F. B. Coffin pur-
chased an interest in the J. B.
Byars store in this town, and that
store will here after be known as
Byars & Coffin.
Mr.. Coffin is newcomer in the
Arkansas valley, his family hav-
ing resided in Lamar since last
January, he being at that time
with the Byars store in La Junta.
Before that time he was in busi
ness in Ell Paso, Texas, where he
was engaged in the mercantile
business. He comes we'll recon-
mended and the firm will make a
strong team.
Mr.. Coffin and family have
rented the Frank Townsley resi-
dence property and are occupying
same at present. The family
consists Of Mr.. and Mrs. Coffin
and two children.
The Byars store has built up a
splendid trade in the short time
it has been located in this town,
and The Chieftain can see moth
ing but success ahead at present
for the new firm.

HAD A GOOD TIME

All the persons who made the
big Sociability Run to the South
ern parts last Tuesday were more
than pleased, and the neighbors
on the South realize that Holly is
a booster community.
Brightand early Tuesday morn
ing nine autos, each containing
five men, departed for that sec
ton. The roads were in pretty
good shape and the trip made in
record time. The last car reach
ed the town about eleven O'Clock.
The run was a revelation to
many. Some of our people do
not realize the immensity of that
section; the prosperity that will
be theirs in the future.
The prairies are covered with a
growth of grass which is between
three and four inches in height;
the corn fields show up well: fet-
erita and maize will make full
crop from present indications.
Cattle Craze on every hill and the
world certainly looks fine to the
settlers.
Just east of the Artesia town.
site stands two of the best wheat
fields in the state. This wheat
will be ready to harvest in a
couple of weeks and the yield
should be immense. The fields
belong to A. Rea and Mr.. Akers.
At the town a large crowd had
gathered and after dinner the
people all went down to see the
large Clark well. This we'll is
cased with six inch pipe and
throws the water some twenty
feet when turned on. There are
seventeen flowing wells in that
section at present and more being
drilled.
The auctioneer cried the sale
of the town lots. The crowd did
not seem of a buy disposition and
only six lots were disposd of, Mr..
Gretchen of Holly, being the first
bidder and getting four lots on
Main street. The free lot was
drawn by Mrs. w. B. Carter, who
resides in that section.
The trade of that section has
gone to considerable extent to
the Elkhart town, but the people
who made this run are satisfied
that in the future the trade will
come to this town. Holly pre-
sents far better advantages for
shopping than does any other
town in the valley for them and
is the logical point for them.
The cars that made the trip and
drivers are: Prof Clewell, r. w.
Emery, Ray Brown, T. C. Newby,
Leonard White, J. L. Robinson
Frank Gretchen. J. S. McMurtry
and Frank Butler.

BILLY SUNDAY

The Rev. w. X. Wright, who is
spending his vacation in Colorado
Springs, writes from there that
the big tabernacle, seating about
1000 people, built for the Billy
Sunday meetings was packed on
last Sunday evening while hun
dreds stood four and five deep on
the three open sides. 1t was ex-
pected that the Sunday night
meetings would fill the building,
but at the first week night meet
ing on Tuesday evening There
were no services Monday the
crowd was practically as great as
ou Sunday night, and the indica-
tions are that the big building
will not begin to be big enough
to hold the people who will want
to come.
The sermons, Mr.. Wright says,
have in them Billy Sundays
isms' a plenty, but they are
powerful and telling messages
just the same.
Speaking on "Revivals" Tues
day evening he said: You say
revival is temporary; so is a bath
but 1t does you good. You say
a revival is abnormal. | say the
sins of immortality, drunkenness,
gambling, seduction, girls losing
their virtue, and the like are the
abnormal things. America has
got to have a real revival-one
like those at Pentecost and Wales
to prevent the absolute dissolu-
ton of the home, the church, the
state and the nation. The church
was born in a revival, and the
days of the revival are not over
and they won't be over until
God abrogates His throne and
gives it over to the devil.'

RENO DRUGGIST CHARGED
WITH ILLICIT DRUG TRAFFIC..

A. l.. Sandmeyer, a Reno druggist,
has been arrested by the California
authorities and charged with illegally
selling drugs in Placer and San Fran
cisco counties, Cal. He was taken
into custody while on board a train
at Roseville, Cal. He was taken to
San Francisco for trial.
The details Of the offense charged
against Sandmeyer are not available
but ii is believed they are connected
with visits made by Sandmeyer to
California points. Those interested
in stopping the interstate shipments
of habit-forming drugs are yet await
ing congressional legislation on the
subject and prosecutions con-
fined to offenses committed within
the state.
