The Chieftain learns that q number
of Holly men are ready to trade
jobs and try the luxurious method
out, just to see how it works.
New candidates are entering The
Chieftain's Prize campaign every
day. Watch these columns for spe-
cial announcements.
Let's get busy and drain those
10000 acres of bottom lands contig-
uous to Holly.
Miss Bertha Lawson. who is visit
ing her aunt, Mrs. Thoans Webb OF
Webb, Colo, met with q painful ac-
cident last Monday evening by fall
ing from the running-board of the
Webb machine. Dr.. Broemser was
called, but found no evidence of in
ternal injury, and at this writing
the young lady is much improved.
Owing to the lack of quorum,
there was no session Of the city
dads last Monday evening.
The Chieftain is in receipt of a
letter from Thomas Wood, at
Long Beach, Cal, saying that they
are raising splendid garden truck,
that the peach trees are in bloom,
and the clover six to eight inches
high, and wish to be remembered
to all inquiring friends. The ex-
pcnse for gas and oil from Holly to
Long Beach was 1920.
Have you seen the statement. Of
the amount of your taxes for 1916?
Then don't look, or you'll have
heart trouble. To those who voted
for high taxes, The Chieftain ex-
tends greetings and hopes that
these people are satisfied.

The Holly Chieftain's Goth Ami

Campaign is creating comment and
interest among young and old.
Candidates are getting more and
more enthused and are beginning
to get results from friends enlisted
to their standards.
We are being asked q great many
times these days, when will the first
list Of candidates be published?
We are compiling and arranging
the great number of nominations
that have been pouring in and con-
tinue to come in, and we will have
the first list ready for next week.
No doubt many of our readers
are asking, why this campaign?
The answer is easy. Look at your

fired at the Campaign Manager
was: TELL me all about this cam

that he appreciated the trade of
his customers and at the same time
by>helping them, he saw where he
could bnefit himself and make
money by cooperating in this great
campaign without any additional
cost to any customer. 1t is not our
intention to slight any merchant,
and if, in the rush of the great
amount of detail work in getting
ready for this campaign, we have
overlooked any or have not ex-
planned the campaign as thorough

do so at any time Simply call

We have received several nomina-

the large sum of money represented
in the prizes. Furthermore this is
not a prize contest OF the common
or garden variety. This is cam
paign where every candidate will be
suitably rewarded, even if they do
not win one of the Grand, District

At the same time that the first
list of candidates appear, will also
be published the list, in form, of
the merchants cooperating in this
great campaign and the district
boundaries. Candidates in the
surrounding towns may feel that
they are at disadvantage in hav-
ing to compete with Holly. But
such is not the case. The entire
