s4ssssssssssssss'

The above figures show the
amount of bonds subscribed for. in
the Holly district since the Fourth
Liberty Loan drive started last Sat
urday.
For various reasons the Fourth
Liberty Loan bond drive, scheduled
for last Sunday afternoon at the
Holly Union High school was not
as largely attended, nor were there
as many subscriptions signed UP
as had been anticipated. To be ex.
act. but s6.l0O was signed up dur
ing the meeting. K
The main reason for the small st-
tendance of Sundays meeting Is
attributed to the fact that most of
the country people had been in on
Saturday, the day before. to do
their usual weekly trading, and
most Of them also went to Liberty
Loan headquarters and signed up
on that day. This latter fact Is
also vouched for by the subscrip-
tion registered Saturday. which
was $21,7O0.
AS will be seen by the table at
the beginning Of this article, $37,-
GOO worth Of bonds had been sub
scribed for up to last night. which
leaves slightly over $4,000 yet to be
raised. This Is comparatively very
small amount and should be raised
before Saturday night.
To date one firm In Holly has
subscribed 5000 to the Fourth
Loan; one or more have taken $2,-
600 worth of bonds; q few have
bought $1,000 each, while quite q
number have taken $500 worth OF
bonds.
A large bill board painted q real
Hun yellow. has been placed on the
vacant corner on main street just
east of the First National bank,
upon which Is inscribed in black
letters:
"All persons who have not sub.
scribed to the Fourth Liberty Loan
by Saturday night, Oct. 18th, will
be posted upon this board and
their names sent to the Council Of
Defense, by order Of county chair.
man, Fourth Liberty Loan"
It is said that this Hun board
has been adopted at Lamar and
other places. 1t Is not at all prob
able, however, that the Holly board
will have been decorated with the
name Of any citizen when Saturday
night comes. At any rate there
ought not to be yellow citizen in
this community,

committee to have q complete HIST

Saturday night.
Hartman has already raised its
quota of something like $4,000.

.
The management of the lecture
course is to be congratulated in
bringing to Holly such q splendid
attraction as The Regniers. From
the moment that the talented per-
formers were introduced they held
the closest attention Of he audi
ence.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Regnier have
very fine and well cultivated voices.
They presented q very unique pro-
gram. Mr.. Regnier's impersOnation
of the aged legislator who was
much concerned over the passage OF
the "Hen-Hawk" bill, was both hu-
mOrOus and pathetic Mrs. Regnier
listens attentively to the story OF
the old gentleman and then cOmpli.
ments him upon his splendid
speech and argument. He is final
ly induced to sing, When You and

The Regniers closed their program
by singing popular patriotic songs.
The course promises to be very
attractive throughout. Season tick
cts may be purchased for the re-
mainder of the course for $1.75.
Ralph Bingham, one OF Americas
foremost humorists, is the next at
traction of the course, and Is sched-
uled for Oct. 30th.

The city council convened Mon
day night in regular monthly ses-
sion, with Mayor Appel and all
members present except Council
men AL. Thomas and C. b. Mosier.
After the reading of the minutes
of the previous meeting, current
bills for the month were read and
on motion, ordered paid.
In view of increasing costs OF Op-
Grafton of the water and light
plant, after some discussion 1t was
unanimously decided to raise the
rate to water consumers from 10
cents to 20 cents per 1000 gallons
for water used in excess of the s.
O09gallOn minimum.
On motion Ordinance No. 81 de
filming water rates was, .thereupOn
amended in accordance with the
above raise. This amended Ordi-
nance will be found on the last page
of this issue of The Chieftain.
]. G. Fuller, superintendent of the
water and light plant, reported to
the council that Engineer e. L. Nor
ton and Fireman 8. c. Reisch had,
in view Of increasing costs of living,
asked for raise in their salaries
These men each work IL hours q
day and have been receiving $S5 per
month. They asked for $50 each,
the raise to be effective beginning
Sept. 1st. The men had been offered
even more elsewhere but preferred
to remain with the city II met part
way. s
The mayor and council readily ex-
pressed an appreciation Of the sit
uation and the raise was, on mo
tiOn granted. Needless to say the
councils action will meet with pub
lie approval
The only other business of seri-
GUS moment before the city sOlOns
was the devastating depredatiOns
of homeless mule, which has for
some time been pasturing upon the
lawns of not only members of the
council, but many other residents.
This said mule seems to be without
any place of definite abode and Is
also at large without any well au-
thenticated meal ticket. Moreover.
no one has been willing to establish
legal claim to this lOng-eared chat
tel and it was therefore, the Opin-
ion OF the mayor and council that
the animal be regarded as nuis-
ance and he should be sold or given
a % decree. City Marshal Shook was
clothed with the necessary author
ity to dispose of the refugee mule,
after which the council adjourned.

by Enthusiastic Crowd.


The Holly High school auditori-
um was filled to overflowing last
Thursday night by those eager to
hear L. K. knight, one Of the fam
Gus Blue Devil' fighting men
back from the French front to talk
in behalf of the Fourth Liberty
Loan.
Mr.. knight is a native of Mis-
souri,, well educated, and though
not necessarily a spell binding or
ator, held his audience to the last
with splendid narration of his
personal experiences on the fight
ing line, the brutality of the Ger
man army and the need for support
of our army and those OF our al
lies by the folks at home.
Mr. knight had delivered address
es at Granada and. Hartman dur
ing the afternoon and was accom-
panied here in the evening by r.

ing store. The war relics were eag-

AGED VETERAN OF CIVIL
WAR BUYS LIBERTY BONDS
VIM. McGlsshen, who Answsrs'
Lincoln's First Call, Speaks In
Behalf of Loan,

A striking feature of the Sunday
afternoon meeting at the High
school building, opening the drive
for the Fourth Librty Loan, was
the appearance on the stage Of VIM.
McGlashn of this city, an aged
veteran of the Civil war, who ans
wered Lincoln's first call.
Mr.. McGlashen and his good wife
have passed the three score and ten
mark in life. For some time they
have had in one of the local banks
5000 laid away for burial purposes,
but as an indication that the fire
of humanity and patriotism still
burns in McGlashen's heart, when
told by the Liberty Loan committee
that he had already done his part
he insisted in investing 500 of the
$500 laid away in the Fourth Lib
erty Loan.
Mr.. McGlashen spoke briefly but
with great earnestness during the
program, urging the necessity of
every citizen doing his utmost in
the present struggle, and was cheer
ed Justify. He said that while some
complain of high prices now, every
thing was much higher during the
Civil war and that every citizen of
America is much better off today
than they were in 81 to 65.
The meeting was presided over by
Postmaster John Adkins, and the
program opened with the singing of
America and invocation by the Rev.

ian church. A class of small boys in

DECLINES TO TALK OF

Germany Must lgaks Clear and Car
tain whether She Accepts Prin-
eiplss Already Sst Forth Before
Any Tangible Negotiations Begin.

Washington, Oct. 9.-President
Wilson has met Germany's peace
note with move which will. at one
stroke, develop whether her propos-
al is sincere or merely pretensiOn.
and, If q pretensi0n it be, fully JUS
itfy for all time before the world
the prOlOnging of the war with
force to the utmost, force without
stint or limit. At the same time
the president has left wide open
the door to peace.
Declining to propose an armistice
while the armies OF the central pow
ers remain on invaded soil, the pres
ident Tuesday called on the Ger
nan chancellor to state, as an ab-
solutely necessary preliminary to Q
the United States, whether Grmany
repeatedly laid down, or merely
proposes to accept them "as the
basis of negotiation" and whether
the chancellor merely speaks for
the German military masters con-
ducting the war or the whole Ger
man people.
The second interrogation, which
goes hand in hand with the first,
has to do with the proposal of an
armistice. The president says that
before he could propose cessation
of hostilities to the allies and be-
fore good faith could be establish
ed in any discussion, Germany
would have to consent to withdraw
her forces from all occupied terri
tory. Therefore, does she so con-
sent?
