! WORD TO PATRONS AND
SCHOOL SUPPORTERS

Since you have selected us as mem-
bers of the board to look after your
schools, We make this plea for your
united support to make them the
best possible.
1t seems to us the height of folly
and a most unjust thing to the
children of the community to make
their schools tool to satisfy what
seems to be personal feelings.
Stop to think what the school
means to the child and the amount
of money we are spending. Do you
know that it takes about $lS.000.0O
every year to run our schools
most of which is spent to
employ capable teachers who
mould the character of our children
and fit them for a better future.
Surely an institution OF this kind
is deserving of the united effort OF
every man and woman in Holly
and community.
The most disasteriOus thing to a
school is unjust criticism, so we beg
of you in justice to yourself, your
childrenand their schools to inves-
tigate any detrimental reports be-
fore you believe it. We are sure if
you will do this you will find near
ly all criticism without foundation.
To employ l6 teachers to satisfy
40Opupils we are sure you will agree
is physical impossibility, so
should your child misunderstood
his or her teacher it is your duty
in justice to the child and the
school to consult with the teacher.
This is the criticism that does most
harm. Any suggestion you may
make us for the betterment of the
school we will consider a personal
favor and we assure you it will re-
ceive due consideration
We ask you to be fair give us your
united support and we will give
you the best school in Colorado.

NAVY HONOR CARDS FOR

That everybody may know from

REGARDING A NUISANCE

We believe we, the people OF Hol-
ly, have been agitating better
lawns prettier surroundings and
cleaner alleys. We have been talk
ing gardens, beans and public
park. But how are we to have these
desirable things, when horses and
cattle are allowed to roam and
Craze at will over any part of our
town that suits their fickle fancy.
For the last week, particularly,
just when the ground is nice and
soft, we have had poor disguided
beasts leave inch thick prints in
our garden and our lawn is begin
ming to look like the stamping
ground of stock yards. Our let
tuce will be nipped and our sweet
peas have tickled the palate of
some enterprising chickens.
These things have happened
to us, to say nothing of the
fright it gives one to be awakened
IN the middle of the night by a
sneeze coming from the long nose
OF curious horse at our open win
dow.
We would like to ask if there arc
any Others that have been so both
cred and if there is any help for it?

A MORNING CREED

When you awake in the morning
you wash your body; why don't
you wash your mind?
You breakfast, putting food in
your body to give you strength for
the day; why don't you give your
soul its breakfast?
Therefore, learn this creed, better
it if you can, and say 1t as your day
begins:
I. / want this day to be a cheer
full and successful one, so that l
may come to my resting bed to-
night glad and satisfied. To accom-
plish this l will plan my day in
telligently.
2. AS l know that happiness de
pends on me, my, will and attitude
OF mind and not on events, will
adjust myself to whatever happens.
3. / will not worry. If thing can
be helped | will help it; il not, l
will make the best Of it.
4. l will keep all mental poisons
out of my thought. will especial
ly resist and exclude fear, which
weakens and unnerves me.
5. 1 will not allow myself to be-
come angry.
g. l will resist pride.
Z. l will try to affect pleasantly
every one with whom l am thrown
in contact. will try to make hap
piness as we'll as to receive it.
s. will believe in myself. will
allow nothing to make me doubt
myself nor to create in me discour-
agement or despair.
8. will not let myself despise
any human being; and l will keep
all contemptuous and condemna-
tory thoughts of anybody out OF
my mind, neither will I speak de-
rogatory words.
10. will keep my whole self in
tune with positive. healthful and
| optimistic forces.
II. will make my enforced init
macies as pleasant as possible; l
will get along without friction or
pickering, or strained relations,
with my family, my neighbors and
my business associates.
12. will plan for at least half
hours quiet, for reflection and for
cultivating my own spirit
13. will be more honest, square
and prompt than business re-
quires; more kind than charity re
quires; more loyal than friendship
requires: more thoughtful than
love requires.
a. I will do somebody good
turn that is not expected of me.
l5 If any person does me wrong
l will not bear him a grudge; I will
try to forget it.
16. l will enjoy as heartily as l
can what the day brings me; and
get all the pleasure possible out of
eating, drinking, working, resting.

SO that at night 1 may be able to
say: Il have lived today, and have

CORRESPONDENCE CENSOR
SHIP IS PRETTY STRONG
Perhaps This Will Explain Why
Your Letters Are Not Complete

Those of you who have some loved
one in the army or navy doubtless
wonder at times why they do not
tell more of the things that are in
progress there. A letter arrived in
Holly this week from Frank House,
son of +. House, that was censored
and a note attached thereto may
explain it all away. The censorship
rules for all personal correspond
ence are as follows:
Do not seal your letters.
Do not use paper or envelope
with name of ship on it.
Do not sign your rank or rate
Do not mention the ship or sta
ton on which you are on duty.
Do not mention casualties.
Do not mention serviceablity OF
supplies.
Do not mention past operation
of vessel.
Do not mention the movement OF
ANY VESSEL.
Do not mention and engagements
with other ships.
Do not mention the organization
of ship or fleet.
Do not mention the details OF
training or preparation.
Do not mention moral or physi-
cal condition of the personnel
Do not mention future operations
OF vessel, whether surmised, or
known or rumored.
Outside of that of course you can
tell them about anything that you
think they ought to know, but you
can readily see that in order to get
by the censor the letter must be
rather tame and not at all startl-
ing as some of us might wish.
Young House is stationed at Val
lejo, Calf, and says that he likes
the work very well.
