SUPT. COCHRAN RESIGNS

1t is with regret that the Chief
tain announces the resignation oi
Prof. John |. Cochran as superin
tendent of the Holly schools. The
resignation of Supt. Cochran was
received by the board of education
the latter part of last week, and it
came not only as surprise to the
board and their constituents but
as a source of keen regret as well
We understand Professor Coch,
ran has accepted the superintend.
ency of the Littleton schools at a
considerable increase in salary.
Professor Cochran has been at
the head of the Holly schools tor

time he has administered the af-

and his going entails a real loss
not only to the schools but to the
community as well. Supt Cochran

school duties to assist in public en-
terprises OF various kinds and in
every activity in which he was pro

two months ago for another year

Several applications for the sup

the board and each applicant is be

from the article referred to that
Kansas is no less patriotic than
Colorado and that they are doing
great work there in a patriotic
way. That was the Chieftain edi-

years Or more and he knows the
people over there are true, that
they are loyal to the core and that
If THE Kaiser ultimately wins over
the Allies he will have to whip
Wichita on the side before he can
claim peace in his dominion.
Mr.. Hartwell gives out the inter.

promise of oil drillers in the Wich-

HOLLY CnAu1AuQuA
WILL START THURSDAY
Five Rousing Patriotic Days, Filled
with Entertainment and In
struetion. Ahead.

Next Thursday is the opening
day OF the Holly Chautauqua and
II our people understand fully the
splendid things which the program
offers the opening day and every
other day will be big day in
Holly. There seems to be an i'm
preston on the part of some that
in war times such rs we are now
living In the Chautauqua should
not be entertained but this view is
not the one held by the admins
tration and from the president
down through the multitude OF
minor officers there is a feeling that
tho Chautuqua Is playing big
part In the cultivation of patrio-
tism, that 1t is doing a remarkable
work and that it is essential both
as q stimulus to the war spirit
and in maintaining an equi
librium between the darker things
with which our minds are occupied
growing out of the war and that
wholesome relaxation and alertness
OF mind without which the most
Intelligent and successful prosecu-
ton of the war is impossible. Chief
tain readers are respectfully referr-
ed to the statement of President
Wilson and other administration Of
ticials in the Chautauqua announce
ment on page S.
The Chautauqua program this
year is decidedly patriotic and in
every way appropriate to the war
spirit 1t is not only calculated to
inspire enthusiasm in the war pro-
gram but 1t is calculated to instruct
and to entertain as well. The lee
lures from the men who have been
"Over There" are alone worth the
price OF admission to the entire
y Chautanqua and the combination
OF lectures, readings and patriotic
music offer a feast which our peO-
pie cannot we'll afford to overlook.
The small price OF admission, $500
for the entire five days program of
ten entertainments. places the
Chautauqua within the reach of
all and makes it possible for all to
attend without any sacrifice Of con-
sequence.
The Holly business men have put
themselves behind the Chautauqua
as they do Behind every other
worthy enterprise and the spirit
they have shown ought to be re-
warded by q wholehearted and gen
erOus patronage on the part of
their friends and patrons. II there
are those who think Holly Is dead
town they have not consulted the
undertaken and there Is grave dan
ger that they may so far delude
themselves into the belief that they
may slumber inopportunely and be
run over by the band wagon. Holly
business men are alive, very much
so, and there is every indication
that the undertaken will be shooed
from the door at least until the
Kaiser has been relieved of his vi.
sion OF world empire and until the
boys come marching home.
Remember the ChautauQua; meet
the ticket sellers with q smile; re-
member they are doing their part
In kreat work and encourage them
and do yourself kindness by pur-
chasing tickets for the whole fam.
lily. YOu'll not regret Il

WAR NEWS SUMMARY
The Germans launched their ex-
pected offensive on the western
front the first OF the week. striking
IN force southwest of YpreS in
Flanders and Between Scissors
and Rheims in France. The
attack in the north was re
pulsed with heavy loss to the
Germans but they were more for
tunate in the Rheims sector, fore
ing the French back distance of
four or I've miles and etfecting a
crossing of the Aisne river. As we
20 to press. however, the Huns have
slackened pace and the latest re
ports are more reassuring to the
Allies. Paris seems to be the OBJ
jective of the latest offensive but
the Allies are making a determined
defense and are strengthening their
lines at many points from the re-
serves which are being brought up
from the rear.
I American troops are engaged in
the battle now in prgress and in
daring raid on the MOntdidier
front on Tuesday distinguished
themselves by penetrating the Ger
man positions and capturing 140
prisoners.
German official dispatches claim
1900 prisoners captured I'M the
last offensive up to Tuesday night
but these reports are discredited
and seem in harmony with the
many previous exaggerated reports
which have eminated from Berlin.
The Italian front has been the
scene of a vigorous offensive launch
ed by the Italians thc~first Of the
week, in which the Allied arms
have been signally successful. Sew,
eral mountain positions of consid
erable strategic Importance have
been won in this campaign.
Revolutionary conditions exist in
| Ukraine of Russia and an uprising
against the Germans has resulted
in fighting during the past few
days which may assume prOuOr-
tions threatening to the Central
powers.
General
The Second Red Cross Drive has
resulted in fifty million dollar
over-subscription with many later
subscriptions to be heard from.
Director General McAdoo an.
nounced on Monday on increase OF
Is per cent in freight rates and an
increase in passenger rates equiva
lent to about one cent mile. These
to about one cent a mile These
increases were allowed to meet the
increased cost of operation under
war conditions. including the wage
increases allowed employees recent
ly announced. 1t is estimated that
the increase in rates will produce
the railroads between $500, 100000
and s90O.00O,OOO next year.
100000 railway employees will
share in the wage increase recently
allowed by the government. The
increase will approximate about
$3OO,0OO.OO0 per year.
Due to the war, Congress is ex
pected to appropriate all told a
bout $35,O0O,0OO,O0O this session. II
! this is done the records of all world
powers will have been broken for a
corresponding period.
Reports have been current this
week that General Hindenburg, the
