With the price of corn and oats
advancing every day. and with pas
ture lands fast disappearing. the
demand for biproduct mixtures il
bound to increase The company
that grinds alfalfa hay into q high
protein feed base, soon will come ia
fill an important niche in the stock

Such was the line of reasoning
which prompted railway freight
solicitor to give up his job. some
nine years ago. and establish the
first alfalfa mill in the Arkansas
Valley.
To-day, In proof of the soundness
Of his judgment. Mr.. Floyd M. Will
son, now general manager of the
Denver Alfalfa Milling and Pro

mills operated by various compan-
les along the course of the Arkan.

100000 tons OF alfalfa meal per sea-

member that q ready market, free
from delay or shipping trouble, is
afforded for every pound OF hay

hard to see that the alfalfa milling
industry has been a boon to the
farmers, and that, with the possi-
BILE exception OF irrigation, it has
been the greatest single factor in
converting the arid desert of east
ern Colorado into a fertile valley,
flowing, in very truth, in milk and
honey.
Alfalfa milling has done another
thing for Colorado: Every one of
the 100000 tons produced in this
section is sold and delivered in the
South and East And whether it
goes to a horse feed manufactures
in Texas: to Florida stock food
plant; to chick feed company in
Boston: or to Wisconsin for use in
dairy feeds and calf mashes-no
matter what section of the country

orado alfalfa meal" And is quality
has served to distinguish Hartman
as the alfalfa meal center of the
universe and to make the Valley
of the Arkansas famous, wherever
the ground alfalfa product is
known
All this has happened in ! ess
than nine years since the first alfal
ia mill timidly raised it's head
above the eastern Colorado plains,
and the pioneer alfalfa meal sales
man went east to See if he could
get somebody to try out carload
or two" Truly things are different
now.

This week MARKS the Commsnes-
msnt Of Pspsrs rwsnty-Arst


If you will take time to notice the
front page of this weeks issue OF
the Chieftain you will notice that
this is Number One of Volumn q.
In other words the Chieftain has
just enjoyed it's twentieth birthday
and is starting on the rounds Of
another year. 1t II one of the old
established papers of this section
of the state and has stood through
all the years as q criterion for bet
ter things for this part of the best
state in the Union.
While it has not been the pleas
ure of the present editor to guide
it down the paths .of journalism
during the, years just past we hope
to be able to sit ut the steering
wheel for the next twenty years or
SO and trust that We viii always
be found fighting on the side of
right and for better things for this
the banner community OF the
great state OF Colorado.
1t is indeed a pleasure to become
affiliated with SO progressive q set
of people as live In Holly. They are
a people who do things Holly is
blessed with one Of the best and
most active Commercial Clubs in
this section of the state, a Womans
Civic improvement Club that is
second to none and number of
other minor organizations that are
always ready and willing to boost
the community Among the list is
the Holly Woman's Club and the
Holly Cow Club two much alive
and hard working societies always
ready to lend their assistance to
any worthy enterprise With so
many important organizations
working together and in harmony
we make no hesitancy In predict
ing great things f6f TINT 'tUwTr of
Holly In the near future.
1t shall be our earnest desire to
SO conduct the paper in the future
that you may all feel that it is
"Holly's paper and give 1t that
support which Is so essential to the
publication OF a good paper. At
the present time the Chieftain is
the only all home print paper
printed in Prowers county and we
can not help but take some pride
in the excellent manner in which
the people of the community have
stood behind us and made such
an accomplishment possible. To
them and not to us belongs the
credit for any Improvement in the
sheet.
The development of our country
during the past years is but the
beginning great things are to be
accomplished in the next few years
and we should all do our part in
the advancement that is to. come.
A few years back this section of the
country was looked upon as an i'm
possibility-today the Arkansas
Valley stands out as one of the
garden spots of the United States.
Great alfalfa mills have sprung up
where once all was waste, enorm-
Gus sugar factories have been
builded, milk condenseries have
been erected and the country is
now one of the leading dairy Sec
tiOns OF the state. 1t is fact that
Prowers county produces more al
falfa than any one county in the
whole world. We are yet in our in
fancy and much work remains to
be done to bring our advantages
to the front and to the attention
of the homeseeker but we hold to
an unfaltering faith in the coun.
try and in the people and predict
that the coming years will see Holly
one of the very best towns In the
entire valley,

Asks the Right to Cross Examine and Summon Witnesses at the
 Hearing
ESTABLISH PRECEDENT
Declares That He Desires the Investigation Shall Be Most Thorough
 For Justice

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-When the Senate committee Investigating the St. Paul speech of Senator Rob- ert M. La Toilette began its first hearing, La Toilette personally pre- scented a formal demand that the committee submit copy of charg- es against him; also that he be permitted to summon and cross ex- anime witnesses.
 MT. La Toilette in letter pre- sented to the committee declared he believed every statement in his speech was correct.
 The committee has said that it does not question him on the accu- racy of his speech. La Toilette then demanded to know who does question its accuracy Chairman Atlee POmerene announced later that no arrangements had been made to hold meetings in confor- mity with the desires of Senator La Toilette.
 'I am most anxious" said Mir. La Toilette. "and desirous that the investigation be thorough and com plete to the end that it shall do justice to all participants and shall constitute an honorable precedent wherever so grave a matter as the expulsion of one of its members shall become before the United States Senate"

Underground Places Being lndexed in Order to Shelter the People
 From Bombs
SCHOOLS WILL CLOSE
Possibility That Much of the Business of Lon- don May Be Under
 ground

LONDON, Oct. IF. = London's bomb-proof shelters are being in- dexed in anticipation of German air raids.
 A sufficient number of tunnels, arches, crypts, basements and sub stantial buildings are being inven- toried to accommodate a minimum number of people.
 The schools will be closed the last week in October in anticipa. tion of recurrence of air raids, when the moon appears.
 London is becoming more and more of an underground city, owing to air raids. and some observers claim that if the war should con- tinue indefinitely most likely the cafes and amusement houses and much of the other commercial life will be done underground.
 The belief preyails, however, as ssoh aSvtfe Aneffcan feet of W1fSi ships are available to reinforce the British airmcn, the Teutons will be kept too busy looking after re. prisal raids in their own territory to do much attacking.

GERMAN WAR
 CREDIT NOT
 BE UPHELD By Socialists Unless the Imperial Chancellor
 Hands in His
 Resignation IS INTERNAL DISSENTION Indications That Military Party Will Insist on the Chancellor
 Remaining
IS INTERNAL DISSENTION

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 17.-A Ger man Socialist newspaper declares that the Socialists have decided to vote against the new war credit of 10000, 100000 marks unless Mir. Michaelis, the Imperial Chancellor, hands in his resignation.
 The new credit is to be submit ted to the Reichstag early in De- cember.
 A Berlin correspondent for the Hamburg Fremdenblatt descerns in- dications of forces working in Mich aelis' favor with the thought of a military dictatorship; at least with the idea of having the chancellor hold office in defiance of the Reich stag, supporting himself by mili- tary backing.
 According to opinion expressed here, an attempt of Prussian mili- tarism to override the Reichstag, will bring about national crisis. It is said that any attempt to keep the chancellor in power will bring about a storm of internal dissen- sion, headed by the Socialist party and sympathizers in the Reichstag.
