New Store for Holly

Sometime the first of the month
The Holly Dry Goods Company ex-
poets to open it's doors to the pub
lie under the management of II W.
Woods, of Hutchinson. A large
force has been at work for the past
several days unpacking goods and
getting them placed upon the
shelves and as soon as the work is
completed they will be ready for
business.
The new store will be looted in
the Jones Opera House block and
will embrace stock of some twen-
ty thousand dollars when the
doors swing open to the trade. Mr..
Woods, the manager, is quite well
known in the mercantile world and
is said to be booster and an ex-
cellent business man and we make
no hesitancy in welcoming him to
our little city.

FISHING WAS GOOD, BUT
THE CATCH WAS POOR
Twenty-Five Hollyites Hook Four
Fishes" at Two Buttes, Last
Sunday

We know quite crowd of Holly
people that are not doing any
staggering about their ability to
coax the tinny tribe from the sill
very waters of the Two Butte lake.
Last Sunday our people swarmed
down upon Two Buttes in num-
bers and for time the natives
down that way were frightened
lest something had gone wrong
up north" but their fears were
quickly alloyed when they noticed,
our folks" fixin' up their fishin'
lines and they softly chuckled to
themselves-for well they knew
what the result would be.
The net result of the big drive
into the south country was fish
erman's luck" although, our
folks claim the boni-fide catch of
four little fishes. Jim Fuller, Ray
Johnson and Ted Fortney are the
loudest takers about their ability
rs fishermen-the rest of the gang"
are meek as lambs and avoid any
mention of the trip whatever.
Just to show you that we were
not bribed to keep the matter a
deep dark secret we herewith print
che names of lot of em that went
down in the crowd. There was Mr.
and Mrs. jim Fuller, Mr.. and Mrs
Ed Jones. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Ada
mex, Mr.. and Mrs Stanley Maxwell
Mr.. and Mrs. John Duncan, Mr.. and
Mrs, j. r. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs
Ted FOrtney, Mr.. and Mrs. Ivan
Lewis, Mr.. and Mrs. Chas Hinton,
Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall, Mrs. NJ.
Shields and Mr. Green
They were lucky enough to take
their lunch with them so the trip
was not altogether spoiled when
they failed to land lot of fish.

HOLLY DOES IT'S BIT"
FOR THE RED CROSS
1t is Expected that Our Red Cross
Quota will be Oversubscribed

Collections of Red Cross war fund
subscriptions in Holly was carried
out very successfully this week and
it is predicted that the town will
oversubscribe its quota of some
$1,000. Big generous Holly was at
the bat and the team collecting for
the cause report no trouble in
reaching the amount asked for.
The campign in Holly started last
Friday evening when "a meeting
was held at the high school audi
torium for the purpose of laying
plans for carrying on the work. A
number OF speakers were present
at the meeting and Weed their
opinions of the great Red Cross
work and several hundred dollars
were subcribed to the fund that
night
While the business and profes-
sional men of Holly are entitled to
much credit for the ready manner
in which they responded to the
call, the working class of people to-
gether with the farmers of this com
munity are also entitled to credit
and it is largely due to them that
the amount asked for was easily OBJ
tanned. The committee is also to be
commended for their services and
have right to feel proud of the
great work they have assisted with.
1t is estimated that the Nations
Red Cross fund will exceed the
$l00,O00000 asked for by many mil
lions. Several hundred hOusand
volunteer workers participated in
the intensive canvass which was
carried on throughout America.
1t was only three weeks ago that
plans were laid for a Nation wide
drive to obtain S100,000,00O for the
Red Cross and to think that the
organization of this tremendous
task was so SUCCESSFULLY carried out
and the amount oversubscribed by
several million dollars in so short
time, is just cause for pride in
the Nation generosity.

In the Tenth District.

Sioux City Journal: Some signs
of political activity are apparent in
the Tenth congressional district Of
this state, which is represented in
the congress of the United States by
Frank P. Woods. It is apparent that
effort is being made at this early
date to get candidates in the open
to contest with Mr.. Woods for the
republican nomination next year.
There has been some more or less
desultory newspaper talk, and like
wise indications that more than
newspaper talk is going on behind
the scenes. The Britt Tribune Is
outspoken in urging that Mr.. Woods
be displaced. 1t calls for the nom
ination of "a true republican, a
man of ability, courage and deter
mination," and advocates the retire.
ment of Mr.. Woods ''in favor of the
best man in the Tenth" The Coon
Rapids Enterprise says it clocks as
though a concerted movement is to
be made to defeat Mr.. Woods" but
it believes that che will be hard to
down." The Pomeroy Herald says
that no one yet has suggested a
likely successor to Mr.. Woods, and
it asserts that "the Tenth district
will never nominate man to sue
coed Woods until the district devel-
ops a man who is an outstanding
figure in the political life of this
part of the state" The Herald does

WHAT DID 1T.

Eagle Grove Eagle: The large
vote in this state against the adop-
tion of the prohibition amendment
should not be construed as any
change of sentiment in favor OF
licensing saloons. 1t was protest
against the bone dry condition in
the state. That condition made the
ants thousands of votes all over the
state. While there was large vote
in Eagle Grove against the amend
ment, it is doubtful if twenty-five
men could be found in this city
who would vote for the opening of
saloons here. AS to the desirability
of saloons there is little disagree
ment, but many feel that the prohi-
bition has been carried too far and
has made the legitimate purchasing
of wine and the stronger liquors un-
necessarily laborious. If any church
wishes to procure wine for its sac

others. In one locality rival banks
are being put into communities
where but one bank has heretofore
existed, to punish the existing bank
ers for their activity in the sale OF
liberty bonds of the first issue. The
thing for every man and woman to
do is to find out as respects the 10y
atty of his neighbor. If he is dis
loyal, report him to the chairman OF
the Iowa State Council of Defense
and the information will then reach
the right channels. The fight for
the United States is now on, and the
fight is in the United States. Every
disloyal community should be dis
covered and exposed, and this should
also apply to individuals. Publicity
will help much.
