SUBSCRIBERS
OF THE FORMER
HARTMAN PROGRESSIVE.


HARTMAN PROGRESSIVE:
When the Chieftain alb
sorbed the Hartman Progress
sive list we did so with the
understanding that same
was paid in advance, and
that all subscriptions, on ac-
count of the difference in
price of that paper and this,
expired on Oct. 18th, 1914.
Therefore, all subscrip-
tons received from the pur-
chase of said list expire on
that date-if you so choose.
We believe that you people
will now wish to continue
taking the Holly Chieftain
and assure you that we would
be pleased to have you so do.
1t is our intention to pro-
cure a correspondent from
the Hartman district (the
former Progressive owners
hoving failed to provide us
with one) and we will en-
deavor to give you all the
news of this entire section
without fear or favor.
If you do not wish the
Chieftain to continue coming
to you kindly drop us a post
al telling us to discontinue
same after the above date.
If you DO NOT so notify US
we will take it for granted
that you wish same, and will
continue sending it to you
and collect for so doing.

"A London dispatch says that in the
event of Germany's defeat in the big

many began making preparations for
attack the Kaiser has been investing
large sums of money on the other side
of the Atlantic. He is one of the larg-
est land owners in the western states,
but not in his own name, Of course.
These investments indicate that the
Kaiser, when he was preparing to
stake the fortunes Of his dynasty upon
the attempted conquest Of western
Europe, also was preparing for the
possibility Of failure by consolidating
bis huge financial resources in the
United States, in case he has to escape
to ty!at part Of the world. II be can
