A DEsERvED COMPLIMENT

The third annual dairy day at
Holly was q hummer, according to
those who were in attendance, and
they say that HOlly's dream of a
permanent show, which will necessi-
tate the building of steel amphi-
theater, with booths where other ex-
hibitors may hold forth, is destined
to be realized. Another dream is to
make Holly an important center for
Holstein cattle, where all the world
can come to purchase pure bred
stock. 1t is said that this is no
idle dream. either, for it is alleged
that the number of pure bred 4ol-
stein cattle in the Holly district has
nearly doubled during the last year
and that very soon dairy cattle will
be shipped out of Holly instead of
in to it. So most 1t be, for every ad-
vance that is made in the dairy in
dtlstry in the Holly district, will be
equally advantageous to this sec

TITUS STORE BURNED

Fire of an unknown origin destroy
ed the old Clarity block at Cool
idge, Monday morning, and with it
the stock and fixtures of II. s.
Titus, who was preparing to remove
the stock to EldOrado. The build
ing was a two story structure with
stone outer walls and was erected
in the boom day of 1888. The first
floor was occupied by the Titus
general merchandise store, while a
portion of the floor above was used
as a rooming house and the re-
mainder as an A. o. U. w. lodge
room.
Fire was discovered in the build
ing about four or five o'clock Mon
day morning and no cause or rea-
son can be assigned at this time.
We understand there was some in
surance on the stock but none on
the fixtures.

The Declamatory and Oratorical
preliminary will be given in the

evening of Friday April Fifth. Ap-

be part of the program. This will
be free and it is hoped that the
many friends and patrons of the

this valuable form of activity by
being present The winner in this
preliminary will represent the local

put it in good condition.
Everybody is looking forward to
the best track day Holly has yet
had. We have made some records
which are better than the best at
the Prowers County Meets of the
last three years.
The debaters, declaimers and
Others are hard at work now pre-
pairing to keep three pennants for
Holly even if she does lose the track
cup. Hence it appears that the
week has been one of unusual
quietness and preparation.
There are only about six or seven
weeks left in the school year, final
examinations are not far of. So
that it looks best that every stu
dent raise his average as high as
possible and be well prepared for
the finals. Regular habits of study
should be insisted upon by the pa
rents from now on if at no other
time and absences should be aviod-
ed.

BRIMelMe the War HOME

All interests during the next
thirty days will be centered on the
ard Liberty Loan Drive. This Is
not "ohe man undertaking. Nor
is It zone set of men undertaking.
The campaign will be handled by
an organization, Of course. Certain
people have been selected as work
ers because of their willingness, per-
haps, or their ability, or, in some
case, their Affiliations. Whoever the
committeeman and cOmmitteewO-
men are, and however active they
may be, they can't answer the call
for victorious campaign unless
YOU do YOUR part.
Remember, every dollar you. sub
scribe over and above the Liberty
Bond quota backs up our own
boys; raises the morals Of our allies;
and is a direct blow at the kaiser.
During the month of February
just % business days.. $l5,0OO,O 1000
was loaned to the farmers Of Ameri-
ca through the Farm Loan Board.
This is Just one OF the many things
that the government does for us.
Are you-or were yOu-a pacifist?
Then listen. If the war ended to-
day without decisive defeat of
Germany it would mean victory
for military autocracy EVERY
WHERE. All nations-our own
included-wOuld be forced to con-
tinue rganization n war basis.
The world would be merely a sue
cession of armed camps.
The best possible course for D
lover Of peace is to pitch in with
a gun; with dollar; or by the food
conservation rOute-and do every
thing humanity possible to end the
war in a glorious victory for Demo-
cracy and the right.
It is not the intention of the Gov
ernment to disrupt farm labor con-
ditions even for the al important
business of providing soldiers to
the kaiser. Draft registrants, even
though they be listed in the first
class, will be allowed time to bring
lin their crops. PROVIDED DE
FERRED CLASSIFICATION AFFI-
DAvITS ARE FILLED OUT BY
THE FARMERS. This is an i'm
portant matter. If you have either
son or a laborer on your farm,
whose presence you can swear is
necessary, get in touch with the
draft board at once.
Remember, every town subscrib-
ing it's quota toward the 3rd Liber-
ty Loan will receive an Honor Flag
"a white centered, red bordered
flag with three vertical blue strips,
indicative of the 3rd Loan. There
is place for (your town. flag right
under Old Glory on the flag pole.
Parents and friends of Prowers
county soldier boys, please take no.
tice!
The County Draft Board is very
anxious to have complete check
on the boys who are now serving
their country. 1t is to your ad-
vantage-and to the boys advant-
age-that this record be kept.
So If you have a boy in the SER
vice Tor know of one that might be
missed) buy a postal card; address
it to L. M. Markham, Secretary, La
mar; give the full name, age and
home address of the soldier; give
the name, address and relationship
of the parent or nearest relative:
give the date and place of enlist

dier or sailor and the name, num-
Der and location of the organiza-
tion to which he belongs.
Then mail the card.

Extract from sermon by La
mar minister last Sunday.
An income tax, to most of us, is q
new thing. Maybe few of us, un-
thoughtedly, consider it a hard
shin: But notice:
In England the tax on incomes of
$1,000 is AZ per cent in America,
nothing.
In England, the tax on incomes
of 81, 500 is 6 2-3 per cent; in America,
nothing for man with family
and only 2 per cent on surplus for
single man.
The English tax also increases by
leaps and bounds. A $1,000 income
is taxed Is per cent; 5000 is pier
cent; $4,000, 20 per cent; and $4,000,
25 per cent, while our correspond
ing taxes for married men are, re-
spectively, twpLthirds of one per
cent, 1-2, 31-2 and per cent.
In Colorado, for every 100 men
called by the Draft Board for ex-
animation, 80 were certified for Ser
vice. according to statistics recent
ly made public.
