proprietor of the Star Theatre. is

combination electric piano and
3fsffye saSsgn gnnssf1l1 his; play hoase here.
The new Instrument arrived Mon
day, but from appearances had re-
ceived rather hard usage EN- route
and was badly out of adjustment
on arrival: Music, or a musical in
strument, of any old kind, however,
is Mr.. Runyon's long suit, so he
was in his element in tuning the
new pienO up.
Mr.. Runyon expected to have the
piano in readiness for tonight's
show. 1t has beautiful tone and
will doubtless appeal to the music
loving patrons of the Star Theatre

Celebration Marred by storm.

The Armistice Day celebration at
Lamar was considerably marred as
a result of Sunday nights snow
storm and cold weather following
as well as the cold wave which
came up Tuesday afternoon. On ac-
count of the disagreeable weather
it was first thought to declare the
program off, but as the crowds from
nearby towns, including Holly, be.
gan to pour into the, county seat
various features of the days doings
were re-instated and the throngs
entertained in the usual Lamar
way. Holly was well represented
at the celebration.

First Snow and Cold of Present
Winter Here Arrived Last
Sunday Night.

The first snow and cold of the
present winter in this section came
last Sunday night, preceded by a
heavy rain and sleet Saturday and
Sunday forenoon.
Though the storm was severe-in
a way and hard on cattle in the
open without shelter, yet an
abundance of feed rendered the con.
dition not SO serious as in times
past when there was . scarcity Of
feed.

came up Tuesday afternoon accom-
panied by drop of 20 degrees or
more in a couple of hours. The We
lOcity of the wind was terrific and
while it lasted was hard on both
man and beast.
The storm the early part of the
week was accompanied by much
heavier snow fall in the northern
and western parts Of the state
where the precipitation reached a
depth in some places of six to nine
inches.
While freezing temperatures have
prevailed here the past three
nights the wind has abated and
weather conditions are not bad
here in the east end of the state.

ton department from all sections
of the state indicate that the pop
ulation of Colorado is now approx.

HEAVY SNOW AND BAD
WEATHER UNFAvORABLE
Holly Air Line transportation Co.
Will Fill Its Exhibition Contract
There-Plane and Motor in One
Hundred Per Cent Condition.

The heavy snow in the upper val
ley and especially at Las Animas,
and the bad weather following
made it necessary for the Las Ami
mas people to postpone their big
Armistice Day celebration which
had been planned for Tuesday of
this week.
The Las Animas people are good
sports, however, and were not to
have their purposes defeated by u
little spell of weather SO have ar
ranged to have their celebration a
week later than the original date
which will be Tuesday of. next
week.
The Holly Air Line Transports
tion Co. which had contract for
an aerial exhibition flight there on
Armistice day, will fill it's engage
ment there Tuesday of next week

Walter s Neil OF Macksville Kas.,
was in Holly the first of the week
and through the real estate firm of
McMurtry & Pinkham bought

Third Of Families Without
Adequate Supply.
500 TONS ARE NEEDED
FOR LOCAL DEMANDS
'Supt. Orr Of Santa Fe Giving Holly
Situation Close Personal Atten-
tion-Two Cars Distributed in
1000 Pound Lots During Week.

That HOlly's coal famine is still
grave is clearly indicated by the
fact that neither of the local deal
ers has pound of coal. of any de-
scriptiOn on hand and absolutely
no assurance of when they will re-
ceive any.
The early part OF the present
week the w. +. McCue Mercantile
Co. received two ears of nut coal
which was distributed as far as it
would go in l000-pOund lots,
1t is estimated that 500 tons OF
coal would be necessary to supply
present local demands. Local deal
ers, however, are unable to say
when any shipment may be receiv-
ed.
Supt. Dan Orr of the western di-
vision>Of the Santa Fe, who is keep
ing in the colsest personal touch
with Holly's coal situation has
just advised Local Agent Chas. w.
Hurd, that while there is no com
mercial coal available tor Holly,
that, in the event of extreme cola
and serious need the Santa Fe com
pany will release sufficient of its
coal at other points to tide us over.
In the mean time Supt. Orr is al
!, 70 YQgi1ing in can njQpst lak, III the
shipping department and local
dealers TO get a few cars loaded at
the mines tor Holly, when Mr.. Orr
will see that these shipments will
reach Holly in the quicket possible
time.
At present, as near as can be as
certained, through an unofficial
survey, fully one-third OF the, fam
lilies in and around Holly have lit
tie or no coal. In the country dis
tricts adjacent the supply is even
more meagre, while some of the
country schools have been com
PEELED to close on account OF hav-
ing absolutely no coal
1t is not the purpose of The
Chieftain to be sensational in this
report but to tell the facts, so that
the people will conserve their pres
ent limited fuelsupplies to the ut
most until relief comes.
If any man has winters supply
he should divide with his neighbOr
who has none. The fact that the
latter did not avail himself of
enough for the winter at the same
times does not lessen the FORUM
ate mans neighborly responsible
ity in this emergency. Let us all
render service at this time in ac-
cordance with our ability and the
needs of our neighbOrs.
1t is to be hoped with the pres
ent efforts of Supt. Orr of the
Santa Fe and the local dealers that.
"a sufficient amount of coal may be
had in few days to keep the home
fires burning.
