Colorado.
The mercantile sale cOnsummated
last Saturday between White Bros.
and Byars and Coffin, whereby By
airs and Coffin purchased the White
Bros. large stock of highgrade mer-
chandise, is the largest mercantile
sale that has occurred in the Holly
district for many years and is one
that means much to Holly.
Byars and Coffin are not new to
the people of this part of Colorado,
but are one of the best known OF
our progressive business firms, hav-
ing attained their enviable reputa-
ton during the several years they
have been In Holly by selling hon
est merchandise at prices that have
brought back the purchasers every
time.
A long-term lease has been signed
on the White building, where By
ars and Coffin will continue the
business, although for the present
both stores will be operated.
J. B. Byars of this firm is also in
terested in chain of stores in the
Valley, and with this connection
the firm of Byars & Coffin are in
position to buy high grade mer-
chandise at the lowest market
prices from which, of course, the
residents of this district receive the
benefit.
A small army OF clerks, headed
by Expert A. E. Fox of Lamar are
invoicing the White Bros. stock
which will require several more
days to complete, the work having
commenced on Monday.
Messrs. Leonard and Frank

HOLLY DEFEATS
LAMAR IN SPLEN-
DID DEBATE

Last Friday night, the Holly de
batting team won victory over the
Lamar team, in the local high
school auditorium. The question
was" Resolved, That immigration
to the United States Should Be
Further restricted by a Literacy
Test" Much strength was shown
by debaters on both sides, especial
ly in kill OF rebuttal. The decis-
ion of the judges was two, for the
affirmative. Lamar had two girls
and one boy, in their team, and
Holly had two boys and one girl.
Our debaters were Chester Snyder,
Adolphus Keith Ind Chloe Capps.i
II Lamar had won the debate,
Holly would have been eliminated
entirely from further contest in the
state league, but now, we wait I'M
til after the winners of the Fowler
Rocky Ford, and the Las Animas-
La Junta debates, have contested.
Holly debates the winner, and If
she Wins will be champion of South
eastern Colorado. She then would
have try for state championship.
More Holly people ought to be,
interested in these events to come
out and support and boost them.

line There will be other special

EASY TO GET VOTES
When you stop to consider a mo-
ment how easy it will be to get
votes, you will realize how wonder
fully liberal this campaign is.
Just think oil giving away about
$1,000 or more for the things you
buy every day and without one
cents extra cost.
Never before in the history of
this community has such golden
opportunity been presented where
by you can win valuable prize, or
help friend to win without any
effort to speak of, or any extra ex-
pense.
Absolute fairness will be accorded
every candidate by The Holly Chief
tain, in whose hands rests the man
agement of this great campaign,
and the fact that the firms cooper
ating are all prominent and leaders
in their line of business, speaks vol
umes.
The Holly chieftain., 1917-01-19

Votes are given in exchange for
sales checks or vote coupons from
the cooperating firms in this cam
paign.
The Holly Chieftain and these en-
terprising cooperating merchants
are paying back a part of their pro-
fits during the term of this cam
paign to the people in the form of
valuable prizes.
WHO WILL COOPERATE
Watch for the big announcement
as it will have the names of the co.
operating firms and also the details
of the campaigns, such as the rules
districts, vote schedule, etc, govern
ing the campaign.
Every article that the co-operat-
ing firms handle is first class, and
while many of our readers are famil
lar with these firms, it will be we'll
to preserve the list for ready refer
ence Such an array of prominent
merchants for great campign such
as this is bound to be, has never
before been seen in the Arkansas
Valley.
Every man, woman and child, in
terested in the welfare of this terri
tory can show their appreciation of
these wonderful prizes, by patro-
nizing the merchants cooperating.
One of the substantial features
Of this great campaign is that these
merchants are all reliable and sell
the articles you buy and use every
day. 1t is simply matter of buying
of the right merchants and asking
for your votes.

MILLION DOLLAR snow

The Holly country was visited
the fore part Of the week with
steady downpour of the beautiful
white, the snow drifting as deep
as eight and ten inches in spots.
This was the first real snow storm
this winter, and was welcomed by
the farmers, who consider it worth
q million to the Holly country
alone, as the ground will be thoro-
ly saturated when the present
downfall melts away.
In the southern evirons the snow
is still deeper, and the smile on the
average homesteader broadens
when he thinks of the vast amount
Of good there is in store for him.
The Holly chieftain., 1917-01-19

AS announced last week, The Hol-
ly Chieftai9 has made arrange
ments with some of Holly's live mer-
chants to cooperate in a Trade
Building Campaign through which
large number of valuable prizes
will be given away.
Since the announcement we have
had quite number of inquiries
relative to the campaign, which
shows that this will be one of the
biggest and most successful prize
campaigns ever conducted in the
Arkansas Valley. Merchants wish
ing to be identified with this great
philanthropic project may obtain
particulars from the Campaign
Manager
WHO MAY ENTER
Any organization of legitimate
character, man OF woman of good
moral character in Eastern Colora-
do or Western Kansas is eligible to
enter, according to the rlues of the
campaign.
This is not contest where you
are required to pay out good hard
earned money without fair re-
turn. This is campaign to slim
ulate business for Holly.
COSTS NOTHING TO ENTER OR
WIN
There is no cost attached to this
campaign beyond the regular cost
Of the merchandise, therefore these
prizes are free to the winners as the
air they breathe. Furthermore,
every candidate will be suitably
awarded

Wears whiskers that fill their owner

For the benefit of those who have
had seven years course in Ignor-
ance and are therefore unfamiliar
with what a gimlet is, we wish to
say that it is a small tool for boring
holes, and in a pinch could probab-
ly be used for pulling out a cork, if
the State weren't dry. A spit image
of gimlet may be viewed between
each paragraph in The Gimlet.
AS far back as the days when Dad
Frasier and the rest of the city smOk-
ed home grown cigars, it has been
the custom for jocose sports to re-
fer to the esteemed Lynden Tribune
as the Gimlet. True, Bill NAPLES in
sists on clubbing it the Whangdoodle,
and Dunk Beckes occasionally calls
it the Bingville Bugle, but the most
popular title has always been The
Gimlet. 1t is with pleasure, there
fore, that we adopt the gimlet to
tack to the masthead. Long may it
/ bore!
