Change in Dairy Day Date

Since the Chieftain was issued
last week it has been found necess-
ary to change the date of Dairy Day
from March 2lst to March 18th, just
week earlier. This change was
made necessary by the fact that DR..
George f. Morton of the State Col
lege at Ft. Collins, who will be
judge of dairy cattle, was unable
to be present on the date first set
Preparations for the big event are
going on Systematically and with
the united cooperation and sup
port of both the Cow Club and the
Holly Commercial Club the success
of the event is assured. The pre-
MUM lists, entry forms, banners,
etc. are now being prepared in the
Chieftain office and will be ready
for distribution at an early date
The following committees repre-
senting the Cow Club are doing
what they can to insure the sue.

Methodist Church to be Buirt

The Building Committee, by ad-
vice of the Official Board of the M.
E. Church, awarded the contract
for building church in Holly, on
the site of the burned church, to
The w. F. McCue Mercantile Co.
The cost, including furniture, art
glass. heating etc will approximate
seven thousand dollars. The Com
mittee appreciates the interest of
every one who has contributed, the
work of those who were so careful
in making estimates, and the pa
thence of those who have waited
so long to see the work started.
Holly will have an elegant build
ing when this church is completed,
which we hope will be within the
next three or four months.

Red Gross Notes

lBy Amelia Josephine Burr,
Interminable folds of gauZe
For those whom we shall never see
Remember. when your fingers
pause,
That every drop of blood to strain
This whiteness. falls for you and
me,
Part of the price that keeps us free
To serve our own, that keeps us
clean
For shame that other women
know
0, saviOurs we have never seen,
Forgive us that we are SO slow!
God-if that blood should cry in
vain,
And we have let our moments go!

NOTES or. the
HOLLY SCHOOLS
County Track Will Contest at
Holly. Coordinating Pep"
and School Spirit
By Parke Sayer.
School Takes Up Track

Just when Lamar and Granada
are dying Holly is coming to life.
We're going to prove that Holly is
the best school in the valley, as she
actually is. Granada beat last year
and now she has no debating team.
HOlly's up and coming. There was
no clique which took up the idea
of track this year, but the whole
school is behind it with might and
main.
The convention of school repre-
sentatives for the Prowers County
League met Monday. Mr.. Cochran,
our Representative, invited the 9th
er schools to have the track meet
here and the invitation was accept
ed. This will be the first time in
the history of Holly that the Coun-
ty League has met here. The Colo
rado-Kansas League met here twice
but never the County League. This
means that the town has another
chance to boost and make our
school better. Besides the County
league, the way is clear to the Colo
rado-Kansas League, and the Ar
kansas Valley League SO there
should be no lack of pep. In con-
nection with the track days there
will be literary events. This gives
Holly in the County League, De
bate, Grafton and Defamation as
Lamar and Gra1lada are out of
literary events

Patriotic Meeting

Gould Hollis one of the H. s.
Alumni, gave a most delightful
talk on what goes on in the army
He gave Illustrations of bayonet
tactics, use of gas masks etc in such
a way that listeners could imagine
how he would feel when he lodged
a bayonet in the backbone of
Germac and then pulled the trig-
ger to get his bayonet loose.
Reverend Schmaisart then gave
talk on what is ment by patriotism
A very artful piano selection was
played by Miss Irene Plank.

Holly-Wiley

Holly was beaten but Wiley knew
that she had done something by
the time she was through. Referee
Shannon said of the boys who were
beaten AZ to l that they are the
making of a crack team. The Holly
boys had not practiced together
but three times before the game so
that for lack of good team work
and an inaccuracy of goal shooting
the scorp ran unfavorable. The
girls played well also even better
than they did on our own floor,
but the score was unfavorable in
their case due to Wiley's team work
and that they had star forward.
The score stood 16 to 3S in favor of
Wiley.
The boys line up was as follows:
Forwards Carl Oelfke and Ho-
mer Bland
Center Parke Sayer
Guards Amos Bland and Paul
Wright
Holly carried two subs, Perry Hill
and Eddie Dyksterhius. Perry took
center and Eddie took Homer
BANDS forward for the last five
minutes of the last half However
good the prospects for winning
teams are they have not developed
it. and so continual hard practice
is ahead and the teams are surely
in for it.
We have another game with La
Junta, this Saturday, night here
La Junta is not half as strong as
Wiley and we are about twice as
strong as we were before we play
ed Wiley, so Holly is pretty apt to
make good big smoke yet, as the
season is not over for nearly
month. The games will begin i'm
mediately after the picture show
which will be about 9:15.
