Shive-Doron

On last Saturday, June 30th., at
the home of the bride in Harrison
vile, Missouri, occurred the cere-
mony that united in marriage, Mr..
Guy Shive and Miss Lillian Doron.
Only a few friends of the contract
ing parties were present at the cere-
mony which was performed by the
Rev. Crochet. of the Christian
church, of Harrisnville.
Immediately following the cere-
mony the happy couple left for
Kansas City where they spent their
honeymoon, returning to Holly the
first of the week where they will be
at home to their many friends in
this city.
Guy Shive is the popular and ac-
Ommodating clerk at the big Appel
store and is young man who is
liked by all who know him. The
bride while not personally know is
understood to be lady of refine
ment and tlfey begin married life
under the most favorable circum-
stances and with the best wishes
of wide circle of friends.

mined, the quota that each state
must yield up to the armies will
be announced.
The state governors are directed
to divide the quotas among the
counties and cities on the basis of
population. Then numbers will be
drawn in Washington. Each num-
Der drawn will strike the men of
that number in every precinct in
the nation. These numbers and
names will again be posted and
published and the men called will
be notified by mail.
Next the honor men, will be
summoned for physical examina-
tion before the local board. One
member of each board is physi-
clan. He is ordered to make the ex-
animation in the presence of an
other member of the board.
To guard against any unfairnes
in the physical examination, the
president makes an ingenious pro-
vision. In case the physician desig-
mates any man unfit, the board will
call in another physician.
He will make another examina-
tion in ignorance of the first report.
If both make the same diagnosis a
certificate of disqualification will
be issued. Members of the board
are barred from passing upon any
relatives case.
After the physical exminations
are finished, the boards will take
up the exemption of the classes spe-
Gifted in the rules.
A claim supported by affidavits
must be made by men asking ex-
emption. Claims upon occupation

Holly, Colorado, July 5th, 1917.
Dear Friend:
The executive committee have de-
cided to hold our picnic at the
Amity Canal Model dairy farm one
and one-half miles north of Holly
on July 18th, and we expect your
influence in making this a holiday
for everyone.
This, as usual, will be a basket
picnic, so please bring large sam
pies of your Wife's best cooking and
invite friend or two to have lunch
with you. If there are any particu-
lars you wish to know, outside of
what is contained in this letter,
phone to Stanley Maxwell at the
elevator or to one of the members of
the executive committee.
Try to get to the picnic grounds
before noon.
Ex-Governor E. M. Ammons of
Denver will be our guest and prin-
cipal speaker. Governor Gunter has
accepted an invitation to be with
us, but on account of his strenu-
Gus duties, does not wish to be ad-
vertised as speaker Something
may occur to detain him in Denver.
You will remember that last year
we had 1000 people in attendance
at this picnic, and the only way to
increase our prestige is to have a
larger number of people this year.
Make yourself committee of one
to invite all of Prowers county. In
vite all of your neighbors and
friends and make sure they get
started on the morning of the 18th.
Bear in mind that the success OF
this picnic is strictly up to you.
The Holly Commercial club and
merchants in Holly will assist in
making this picnic success We
wish it understood that the wives
and children are to have especial
attention, SO that they may look
forward each year with anticipa-
tion to this picnic.
This is the day on which every
man who has crouch must part
with it. 1t is simple matter to get
sore at someone and let's show that
we are big enough to forget all our
troubles and make the best of what
we have.
Let's take an interest in making
everyone have good time on this
particular occasion.
You are expected to date every
thing from this time forth by the
Holly Cow Club picnic, July 18th,
1917.
Fraternally yours,

HOLLY ENTERTAINS THREE
THOUSAND VISITORS THE FOURTH
The Big Celebration was Decided Success All
Along the Line

Holly entertained any place from
two thousand to three t hOusand
visitors on the Fourth and did it
in q manner to feel rather proud of.
In spite of the heavy rain of the
night before the track was put in
fair condition and everything
staged as advertised except the au-
tomobile race.
The fun started in the morning
at ten o'clock when the Holly Band
and by the way. people say it was
a pretty fair band-started the
music on Main street and the minor
races of the day were pulled off I'M
der the supervision of johnson and
FOrtney. After the races there was
a short lull that people might par
take of their dinner and at one
o'clock the fun started in earnest
when the big crowd followed the
band to the grounds where q base
ball game was staged between Bris-
tol and Holly in which Holly came
out SO far ahead that we will re-
frain from mentioning the sccore
rather than humiliate the Bristol
boys.
After a lopsded ball game the
races started on a slow track. The
management. Frank Smith, J. C.
Hill and w. H. Shively are to be
complimented on the way they put
the track in passable condition af-
ter the big rain of the night before.
The first race was q half mile trOt
given as an extra in place of the
automobile race. This was won by
Premo with Fenomore a close Sec
Ond.
The relay race was close all the
way and the ability of Jockey Hay
den in mounting seemed to decide
the race. gf

a fluke by the Crozier horse ridden
by Jockey Laubach. The Debus
horse was in the lead by so yards
but was pulled up before crossing
the wire and before the jockey rea-
lized the situation Laubach had
crossed as winner.
The potato race seemed to be
very popular with the crowd. Jack
House won this race with eleven
potatoes. M. U. Dewald second
with nine.
The quarter mile cow horse race
was won easily by the Henry House
entry, ridden by Jockey Stanley.

BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
 PLAYS STAR SPANGLED BANNER
With pr. Karl Muck Conducting, at
 Concert in Boston.

Boston, Nov. 2.-The Star Spansled Banner was played by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, with Dr. Karl Muck conducting, at the afternoon con- -ert here today.
 In announcing at the opening of the concert that the national anthem would be added to the programme, Major Henry l.. Higginson, the patron of the orchestra, told the audience all so that Dr.. Muck had rendered his resignation as conductor. He added that the resignation would be seri- ousIy considered but expressed the opinion that the loss of pr. Muck would be a disaster.
 The action of Dr. Muck followed agitation resulting from the failure of the orchestra to play the Star Spangled Banner at 8 recent concert in Providence. In his address today, Major Higginson said that pr. Muck and the orchestra had never refused to play the anthem and that they had now compiled with his request to make it a part of the programme.
 pr. Muck was applauded liberally as he appeared on the stage and when the Star Spangled Banner was rem dered as the closing number the au- dience manifested it's approval with prolonged demonstration.
 symphony Hail officials said that the anthem would be a feature of all feature concerts.
