COMMERCIAL CLUB AIDS
FARMERS OVER BRIDGE
Impossible for Single Team to Cross
Bridge With Loaded Sled
This Week.

South side farmers were up
against it this week in getting over
the Arkansas river bridge just
south of town with their loaded
sleds, owing to the fact that the
snow had melted off the bridge
After few had been charged
from $1.00 to $3.50 for being pulled
over the bridge by some one, the
farmers complained at the hold
up" as they termed it, to Secretary
Ponton of the Commercial club,
whereupon Mr.. Ponton took up the
matter with President Dicks and
other members of the board of di-
rectOrS of the club.
As result the club arranged
with NJ. L. DeWald, the drayman
to assist all farmers across the
bridge free of charge at cost to the
club of 5000 per day.
The snow is now melted to an ex-
tent on the roads that the farm
ers can use their wagons. with
which they can cross the bridge
without further assistance. The
club, however, was glad to be of
assistance to the farmers, as it will
be at any time throughout the year.

BENEFIT DANCE CALLED
OFF; BASKET BALL, DITTO
City Health Officer DR.. Wilson, Sets
Down on Both Functions On
der "Flu" Quarantine.

The first of the week Chairman
John Duncan of the Armenian Re-
lief fund and number of other
public spirited citizens planned to
give a benefit dance Friday evening,
the proceeds of which were to be
given for the starving Armenians
and Syrians. Mr.. Duncan and 9th
ers thought, in view of the many
war calls which have been made,
that it would be easier to raise the
money through giving dance and
other Entertainments, and that in
view of the long continued influ.
enza quarantine, the public would
be glad to get out and literally pat
ronize the benefit function.
Accordingly posters and tickets
were printed announcing the dance
Before they were distributed, how
ever, Mr.. Duncan and his assistants
were advised by the city health Of
ficer, Dr.. Wilson, that the dance
could not be allowed in view of the
quarantine.
A basket ball game between the
local team and the Syracuse bas
keteers was also called off since the
flu has taken new start in Syr-
acuse. To date the Armenian Relief
committee has collected 5000

WE ARE ALL AMERICANS;
WAR HAS CHANGED THINGS
II. G.. Lamson, County Chairman Of
Armenian Relief Fund, Sees
Many Benefits From War.

Lamar, Jan. 1S.-Alr. &. Clinton
Page, Editor Holly Chieftain. Dear
Mr.. Page: | wish to thank you for
the space you have given the Arlne-
nian Relief Fund drive in The Holly
Chieftain The committee who rails
es the fund often meet with dis
couragement in their canvass, and
it is very gratifying indeed to see
volunteer assistance such as you
have given in your paper. l wish
also to commend your editorial,
which will certainly draw the at
tentiOn of the people of Holly to
the efforts that are being made to
raise this fund.
There have been great many
efforts like this since the war be,
gan, and many people think that
they have been over-burdened. L
am one who believes that America
should have frequent opportunities
of this sort to emphasize the fact
that we are all Americans. Before

and parties. We found satisfaction
in being PrOtestants or Catholics,
Republicans or DeOmcrats, or even
Socialists. There were many who
even were German-Americans, Irish
Americans, or French-Americans, al
ways putting emphesis on the first
word. The war has changed all this,
and emphasized Americanism.
And frequently we find evidences
that the foreigner who has been
in this country but short time
is glad to be counted American. An
instance in our canvass of Lamar
yesterday will illustrate this point
One of our canvasserS went into a
secondhand store kept by Polish
Jew, who has been in this country
for five years His family is yet in
Poland and he has not heard from
them for two years. The canvasser
approached him doubtfully, expect
ing refusal, but instead, he seem
ed to be glad to give to the fund
as the suffering on account of the
war was probably very near to him.
He gave the canvaSsers his check
for $500 where they had expected
only $l.0O, and when they tried to
thank him, he replied that they
were giving their time for nothing,
and he was glad of the opportunity
to do something.

brilliant little Scot was doomed TO

ever. at the turn and gained four
strokes on the tenth. eleventh and

good. The miss of short putt on
the fourteenth cost him one and II
looked as IL French would make il all
even when he sent his drive to the
