Wen Be After You Jack Pershins
(By William Francis Mannix)

dio California The poem has been acknowl- edged by General Pershing in letter to the author) He has gone far OCT the briny
 To the land of Fleur-de-lis And most watchfully he's waiting For the boys in home khaki But the days will not be many
 Or the waiting be in vain, For from Golden Gate to Sandy Hook From city. hill and plain,
 Is the Hep, hep, hepf
 And the "Rat-tat-tat!" Of the Army's new refrain "WeH be after you, Jack Pershing, In just little while! The Yankee hosts are moving In column, mile on mile We'll be ready for your orders, Jack We love that good old smile-- So look for us, Jack Pershing,
 In just a little while!" He has gone to lead the Yankees
 On the far-flung line of fire, And he's sure to place Old Glory
 In Gods blue little higher And the boys will be there with him. Human freedom to sustain! For from Puget Sound to Texas,
 Over city, hill and plain,
 Is the 'Hep, hep, hepl"
 And the "Rat-tat-tatl' Of the Army's refrain: Well be after you Jack Pershing, In just little while! Democracy is marching now
 In column, mile mile! We'll be ready for your orders, Jack We love that good old smile So look for us, Jack Pershing,

Holly Business Man Buys All The
Coli Balls IN fown-Almost

This talk of dealing in futures
cOnsignments- deliveries short
ages-and all that chatter is get
ting on the nerves of some of our
people, but not SO with our own
Teddy" Fortney, the most popular
golf player in town '-Teddy" right
away conceived the idea of getting
corner on the golf ball market
Accordingly he reads up in some of
the old magazines where Wheat
Barons," Cotton Kings" and other
like individuals had started on a
small scale and gradually took in
more territory until they absolute
ly controlled the market. Right
now l will corral myself the golf
ball market-decides, Teddy" so
last Tuesday morning at the break
of day he hies himself to the drug
stores and buys every golf ball in
town, of certain make and beats
it to his Offices where the day was
very industriously put in washing
off the old price marks, coloring the
balls with blue pencil, and other

Shirley, Johnson, Duncan, Haskins,
Bean. Smith, Maxwell and other of
the golf players of the trap that is
secretly being set for them. While
Teddy" sits in his office and quiet
ly chuckles to himself over the
enormous profits that are to be de-
rived from the sale OF this ball
when the war gets hold of the mar

get busy and employ some large
company in the east to put out a

all ready for the market when Tied

recent Bone dry law steered
through the marbeI halls up at

to credit that theory. We have
some inside dope that goes to show
that it is 'Teddy's" greed for gain

unity Before You Then Hustle.

One more day and the great prize
campaign conducted by The Holly
Chieftain during the past threee
months will come to close.
The question now on the lips OF
every interested person is, who
will win the magnificent prizes.
The prizes have not yet been won,
nor has any one candidate such a
lead that the prize is won for a GER
tainty, therefore, any candidate can
by the proper display of energy ana
hustle during the balance of the
campaign can change the whole
vote standing.
1t is easier than may be apparent
and we caution every candidate to
stick to their resolve to win. Do
not get discouraged, for now, more
than anytime during the campaign,
it is necessary to keep going. Ii you
falter now, you may regret it and
then complain after it is over and
you realize that you lost because
you did not stick to the race. Many
race has been won at the last mo-
ment, SO 'gird on your armor OF re-
solve and Hustle" and keep hustl-
ing to the very last minute.
Read the rules governing the
close of the campaign carefully, as
yours will be the fault if you lose,
by failing to comply with them.

HOLLY BUEINESS MEN
HAVE THE RIGHT SPIRIT
Live And Let Live" Practieed In
Our Little City

Live and Let Live sounds very
we'll on paper but too often the
spirit of the old adage is very much
lacking, but not SO in Holly. There
is not a better set of business men
in the Arkansas Valley and neither
is there a more Open-hearted class
of men in the world In converse
ton with one of our leading busi-
ness men the other day he in
formed lis of little plan that he
was carrying out-and here let us
state, that he admOnished us that
twas not for publicatiOn-in re
gard to helping with the work of
growing foOdstuffs for this section.
Too many people" he said, ARE in
clined to treat the matter altogeth-
cr too lightly and do not seem to
appreciate the seriousness of the
situation. Unless something is
done to relieve the condition that
now confronts us prices of food
stuffs are going to be altogether
out of reason before fall. To do my
part with helping along this line
have rented and am having planted
about forty acres of beans and a lot
of turnips and other things that
will grow in this section and | pur-
pose to sell this stuff at exactly
what it cost me for the growing Of
the same and for the seed. ] am not
going to attempt to make cent
of profit shall be for sale to the
worthy poor" at exactly the cost
of production
Another man we know of--mem-
Der of a heartless corporation, some
might say-has a few thousand
bushcl of beans that he is selling
to the farmers for planting pur-
poses at ten cents per pound. We
happen to know that this man was
recently quoted an offer of thirteen
cents per pound for the lot but
turned it down and purposes TO
sell them to farmers who will plant
them for ten cents pound. Il will
sell few thousand bushel at that
figure" he said, ito all who want to
try and grow them. OF course, I
would not peddle them out just
now at that figure to eat, but pro-
pose to help all that can in meet
ing the very grave situation that
confronts the nation"
This is only two of number of
such eases that exist among us and
the people should take pride in the
fact that we have people living here
who are willing to assist with a
great common good" it is OF such
men that a community must be
built that expects to grow and
flourish and it is this very spirit
that is examplified from day to
day in Holly-and which has done
SO much toward making this one of
the best little towns-in the best
community-that ever he sun
shone upon.

WILL BUILD BEAN
ELEVATOR IN HOLLY
Plans Are Complstsd For Its Con
struetion This Summer

Credit Holly another point. We
are to have one of the biggest bean
elevators in this part OF the state
in fact Holly will be the main point
for marketing beans east OF Denver
when the new structure is com
pleted. All this was decided the
first of the week when Mr.. Van
Vleet and Mr.. Kimball, OF the Isa-
bell Bean Company, of Detroit, met
with our people and canvassed the
situation.
Some few weeks ago the Isabel
Bean company, one of the biggest
of it's kind in the world, took no
tice of Prowers county and signi-
fled their willingness to build a
mammoth elevator in this part of
the state-if farmers would interest
themselves enough in planting
beans. w. S. Partridge and F. NJ.
Wilson, two of the prominent
boosters of this part of the state,
lost no time in getting busy. Peo-
pie were greeted through all of the
county papers with "Sabe Pinto"
the first week, following each week
with well laid advertising plan
until at last they were acquainted
with the fact that "Sabe Pino," was
nothing but a spotted bean-very
tame in nature and yet of sufficient
force if properly handled to make
men fortunes. The community at
once became interested-bills were
struck meeting advertised and the
good points of the bean industry
brought to light.
At meeting held in the Com
mercial Club rooms this week it
was decided that any farmer who
really could not raise the money to
buy the seed with should receive
help in getting the proper seed for
his acreage. All the details of the
!. plan will be gone into next week
and fully explained by able speak,
srs and also through the columns
of the papers.
At the hour of going to press a
number of the boosters OF this Sec
tin of the state are making little
tour of the county preaching
Raise Beans" and word is tele-
phoned to this office that they are
meeting with much success. One
firm in Holly sold over four thous-
and pounds of beans for seed
Thursday morning and number
more were contracted for The COM
mittee in charge will arrange for a
number of other meetings for Ia
ter date and everything possible
will be done to acquaint our peo-
pie with the opportunity that now
presents itself to them by raising
beans.
Much credit is due Mr.. Wilson
and Mr.. Partridge for the active
part they have taken and are TAX
ing in this campaign and everyone
interested should put their shoul-
der to the wheel and push.A full ac-
count Of their socialbility run will
be given in this paper next week.

sleepers early in the evening on trains
supposed TO depart toward midnight
There have been many instances
lately where these sleepers were not
ready until the early hours OF the
morning. The feature worst OF all is
no Official seems to know anything
about when sleepers or trains will
be ready and passengers wait in the
cold train sheds fearing that they
will miss their trains.
The opinion is unanimous that the
railroads should adopt some plan that
will at least enable passengers to
remain inside the station with as
surance that when their trains are
ready due notification will be given,
or, better still. that they receive in
formation as to what hours sleepers
may be ready and the trains likely
