The Woman's Civic Club met last
Tuesday ut the club rooms with
Mrs. Partridge in the chair. The
attendance was not a large rs had
been desired but . very good meet
ing was held. All committees are
rather inactive at this time, the
one thought of everyone being that
of cleaning up the town in central
and making the cemetery besuti-
full.
The third week In May will be
known as clean up" week so right
now is q good time to begin minor
work. Nothing adds SO much to
q town rs clean streets and alleys.
The Club voted one bundled dol
lars to Red Cross work which
speaks well for an organization of
its size. Ten dollars was also given
to the scholarship fund of the
State Federation.
This was the day for the annual
election OF officers and to expedite
matters and do what was thought
for the best interest of the club
it was voted to set aside he Con-
stitution and re-elect all the pre-.
sent officers Mrs. Herbert Wood
was elected to the vacancy on the
board caused by the removal of
Mrs. Stanley Maxwell.
The programl in charge OF
Mrs. E. L.. Brown, consisted of two
piano solos by Miss Janet Duncan.
Refreshments were served by Mrs.
c. A. Jewett and Mr.. Harry Lee.
The last meeting OF the year will
be held June II. at which time q

The expected Austro- German Of
fensive on the italian front has not
materialized but large forces have
been massed in this region and q
determined effort to break through
at some point into Italy at an early
date is not an improbability. The
Italian forces were successful in an
attack at Monte Corno on Satur-
day and a number of prisoners
and guns and ammunition are list
ed among the captured.
On the western front there have
been little except outpost skirmish-
es to mar the quiet of the week.
Heavy cannonading at strategic
points atwhich attacks in force have
been expected have not resulted in
the usual infantry attacks and each
side seems to be waiting expectant-

rive, The tremendous toll In hui

through this bureau.
The program scheduled for
Holly is in large measure patrio-
tic and in every way appropriate
to the war times in which we find
ourselves. Sergeant Turley, for
three years with the Canadian
armies in France, and later serious
ly wounded. will occupy a conspi-
cuous place on the program. He
will be accompanied by a Scotch
Highlander who was only recently
released from an army hospital.
The Highlander was playing q bag
pipe at the battle of Ypres when a
shot passed through the instru-
ment and through his own body.
Both these veterans of the war In
France and Belgium will have an
interesting story to tell. DR.. Love
land, recently returned from the
lighting front, will be another OF
the patriotic speakers. There
will also be q gorgeous pat
riotic pageant participated in by
from so to 100 Holly children, in
which Uncle Sam and his Allies
and his helpers at home will be
tittingly represented.
The Chautauqua will last for tive
days and every number will be

WASTE IS CRIMINAL

ITO waste now is nothing short o criminal' Secretary of the Treas ury McAdoo
 The duty of the American people to economize in consumption of fooC ana all other materials as we'll as save money, can not be too ofter nor too strongly urged upon them The duty is,s so. imperative, it's ob servanee is vital to the country's sue cess, that it should be kept con stantly before them.
 The proposition is plain and under. standable. We have lessened the productive powers of the country by taking 100000 men away from the productive forces of the country; in- stead of producers of one kind or another the soldiers are consumers of the products of our farms, factor ies, and mines. and when the mu- nitions they expend and will expend against the enemy is considered they are tremendous consumers of the manufactured products of the coun- try.
 A tremendous amount of the manu- fac..SSrsing energy of the country has been withdrawn from manufacturing the things we use in peace and put to manufacturing the things we use in war. The total loss to the coun- try of the productive energy of our soldiers and sailors and the diver sion of the other productive energy of the country to war purposes les sen to great extent the amount of material and supplies produced by the country.
 To this condition of lessened pro- duction and increased consumption of and by our own men must be added tha extraordinary demand made upon this country to supply the armies of the allies and to a great extent their populations with food and other material
 We must meet the condition that c0nfronts us in two ways--by the strict economy in consumption, for every pound we refrain from using adds pound to be devoted to the uses of our army and navy and the military forces of our allies; and by speeding up our production to the limit. The American people are go- ing to do all that they know to be necessary to win this war-to short en this war. They have only to- realize the imperative duty of econ omy in saving and they will econo- mize and save.

Mac Chesney pointed out to the students that by common honesty" he did not mean George Washington and his little hatchet.' Not hair split ting matters, but real. vital ones. He defined it as that kind of hon. esty without which all other honesty some people would count these small matters. such as petty thefts of poor men. as very wrong, but look on the graft of influential men as matter of course. He urged the students not to lose their ideals of common honesty. Some men would say that every man has his price, that he is honest to that point. and no further, but Mir. MacChesney pointed out how wrong the idea is. Common honesty is very necessary in every day life. A great deal of every day life is carried on in confidence. We use money bills, not for any value the pieces of paper might have, but because We have confidence in cur government that issues them. To call forth confidence from our fellow men we must have honesty. It is not only that common honesty
