NEW ALFALFA MEAL CUTTER.
Gehl Manufacturing Co., of Wiscon.
sin, Gives Demonstration.

Tuesday and Wednesday of last
week, the Gehl Manufacturing Co.,
of West Bend, Wis, tried out a new
idea in the alfalfa meal manufactur-
ing line. The new mill is a cutter in
stead of grinder. The machine
tried out was Light Running
Gehl 40. This machine was attached
to the power plant of the Holly AL
falfa Products Co. and attached so
that the meal was packed by the
packers in this plant.
The first day the cutter was used
the output run between three and
four tons per hour; the next day by
making some changes this was in
creased to as high as seven tons per
hour. The meal made by this cut
ter was pronounced by meal men as
being as good or better than that
made in the old way
The benefit to be derived from the
new cutter will be far reaching as
it will give greater output with less
power and cost, and the meal so
produced is clean cut product
that ought to please the consumer
The Gehl Company are manufac-
turing Tor the FEEDER ana dalryman
a number of smaller machines that
may be used with little power, and
will make very fine stock feed, not
only from alfalfa but from any dry
bundle feed. These machinces are
among the best ensligae cutters on
the market
N N. Gehl, president of the Gehl
Manufacturing Co., and Henry Gehl,
the head of the manufacturing end
were here during the try out. They
left for Wisconsin well pleased with
their experiment here, and as soon
as some changes can be made, will
place the large commercial cutter on
the market.
The smaller machines are now
complete and ready for USE The
Gehl people are trying to make ar
rangements with C. A. Jetwett, of
this city to handle their products
in the Arkansas Valley

APPELs ATTITUDE.
Independent Voter" Declares It in
Interest of Clean Government.

The political situation in the lit
tie city of Holly seems to have
reached a point this spring, along
the line of harmony never before ap-
preached; and to the independent
voter this is very satisfactory con-
dition.
When our present mayor, L. M.
Appel withdrew his nomination for
mayor in favor OF Harry Steele and
took a place on the ticket for cOun-
Gilman, he did something that
should place him solid with the
ones who deplore the little bicker.
ings that have heretofore marked
our annual spring elections. He
showed himself to be man who
had the best interests of the city
at heart.
Now, with Mr.. Steele as our next
mayor, assisted by the best material
that may be picked from among
those running for the positions of
councilmen, there is no reason why
we should not have good clean
administration of the city's affairs.

TED FoRTNEY SECRETARY
Standing Committees Are Named
Challenges to Dodge City and
Lamar Clubs Issued for Early
Games on Local Links.

That the golf season in the east
end OF the famous Arkansas valley
is now officially open is guaranteed
by the fact that the Holly Golf Club
held its annual meeting at the
Commercial Club rooms last Fri
day night and after the elee-
tion of officers and the an
pointment of standing committees
for the ensuing year, issued chal-
lenges to the Dodge City, Kas., and
Lamar clubs for games on the local
links at an early date, and the fur
ther fact that every golf fan in the
local organization is "rarin' to CO."
The meeting was called to order
by President w. S. Partridge and
after the reading of the call, the
following board of directors was
elected for the ensuing year: C. f.
Fortney, b. B. Overfield, John Dun

). Partridge and J. II. Adkins.
Handicap--GeO. w. Bean, Z. A.
NOrthrup and Harry Lee
On motion the editor of the Chief
tain was made an honorary member
of the club.
1t had been the plan to get out
and timber up with tryout handi-
cap Sunday but the rain rendered
this impossible. From now on, how
ever, there will be something doing
on the Holly links, for those old
fans, John Duncan, President Part
ridge, Mayor Appel, Ted" Fortney,
Bert Overfield ct al, manifest all
their old time sporting enthusiasm
and express an eagerness to meet all
cOmers.
If the weather is favorable there
will probably be try out Sunday,
after which the handicap committee
will get busy and before the sea
son is over there will be some lively
contests on the Holly links between
locals as well as with the brethren
from outside green's.

PRICE RECORD ON CATTLE
Have Shipped s15o,00o Worth Of
Stock Out of Here Since Last

Messrs. Amerine & McKibben
hold the high record per head, on
cattle they have shipped to the
eastern market.
A few weeks ago they shipped 96S
head of cattle which brought them
$166,640 or an average of $llO.16R per
head
These gentlemen have shipped
more than $l50,OO0 worth OF cattle
out of Holly since November, and OF
course will have more than that
much more to ship in the next rev
months.
They started into the winter here
with more than 1900 head of cattle
to feed out, ready for the market
which means that Holly business
men and her surrounding farmers,
have greatly benefited, inasmuch as
they have had to buy large quantl-
ties of hay and other feed, which
have amounted to $25,000 or 100000.
they have had to spend in and
around Hilly.
After all, isn't it worth lots to a
town and community to have con-
Germ like that in it?
Besides they employ lots of help,
who have to live here and who, also,
are spending their money in Holly.
which must be recognized as anoth-
er very valuable asset.
Let us congratulate these gentle
men and learn to appreciate what
they are doing for us while they
are helping themselves.

To the People Who Are Interested
in the Towns Welfare:
Having been at the head of the
town government the last year feel
it my duty to acquaint you with the
work that has been done.
1t cost during the year ending
April Is, 1919, Sl3,64619 to operate
the water and light system. The
cost of the previous year ending
April 1st, 1918, was $l6,69796. This
you will note shows reduction in
cost of operation of $3,O51.77, notwith-
standing the fact that we had to pay
an average of 50 cents ton more for
coal and increased wages for fire.
man. AS to the service you received
you may be your own judge.
The cost of operation for all other
departments of the town for the
year was $6,11449. The cost for the
previous year was $7,10030, which
shows reduction of $9S5.S1.
Your tax notice shows an in
crease in taxation of six and frac-
tion mills and this is the reason.
The water and light system has a
bonded indebtedness of $4,000,
which bears $50 interest, or $2,700
per year This in previous years
was met by the saloon license but
since we do not receive this revenue
any more we had to meet it in an
other way, therefore we created an
interest fund and assessed four mills
to meet it.
For the next five years we have
to redeem $1,000 of these bonds each
year, and thereafter $4,000 year un-
til they are all taken up. To meet
this we assessed two mills and it
matters not who would have been
your council if they were attending
to business they would have had to
make this levy.
These facts are matter of record
in the clerks office and | invite any
of you who are interested to investi-
gate them.

Mary Pickford in Johanna En-
 lists is the feature Ut Fox's tonight
 with Pearl White and other Yavorltes
 Mary Pickford is admittedly the
 foremost motion picture actress in the
 wofld. She attained that distinction
 by her talents, her wtnsome person.
 ulity, her delightful artistry. her per-
 severance and ungrudging efforts to
 give her admirers the best that genius
 has to offer. That she has reached
 the apogce of her fame Is not con-
 ceded, for she is young and the plen-
 tituda of her powers Is not yet
 achieved. In Johanna Hnlists" Miss
 Pickford creates a new and delightful
 role and one which will serve to en-
 dear her the more, If that Is possibl a with the motion picture loving pub lie Johanna is a little country girl in a. dull environment who longs and prays for a beau. Her prayer is an- swered by a regim ent. Three become
 suitors, two :tter rivals, during a weeks enCampment, and the thlfd
 quietly wins the girl. Johanna de-
 vclops with almost startling rapldlty
 from a raw specimen to a graceful
 little creature, largely through her
 own efforts, and these furnish the
 kind of comedy material Miss Pick ford enjoys. Most amusing are her attempts on the lawn to acquire the grace attained '~ rythmiC movements She also decides to take g. milk bath In the dairy with consequencess both amusing and disastrous. "Johanns: Enlists" Is a genuinely delicious com edy drama and was enjoyed by large audiences yesterday. Episode No, 3 of The Lightning Raider with Pearl White. furnishes 8 plsnti- tude of thrills, Mutt and Jeff, some comedy and the Pathe News. g. review of the latest worlds happenings. The screen supplement of the Photoplay Magazine shows some decidedly novel 1 and interesting pictures of the film world, pictures of William s. Hart. Douglas Fairbanks, Helen Holmes,
 Chester COnlllin and other we'll known favorites at work in their studios, Tt i home away from the glamor of the i clicking cameras and other phases of their rapid fire existence are made most interesting through the medium of the screen supplement.

HA7PIN AND HAT
 NEW MURDER CLUE
State Continues Probe in Famous
 Wilkins Case \

Long Beach, April 4.-The case against pr. Walter K. Wilkins, in dioted for the murder of his wife at their homo in Long Reach on the evening of Feb. 27, has been mate rially strengthened, Nassau county Of floials said yesterday, by the state ment of Lieut., James Mongano, a United States army surgeon, who was one of the first to arrive at the Will kins home after the attack.
 Lieut.. MOngano told of seeing a hammer lying near Mrs. Wilkins In the driveway, but said he was sure added that Mrs. Wilkins hair was dishevelled and when she was oper- ated on at the hospital later, no hair pins were in her hair
 The officials say Lieut.. Mongano's S story supports their theory that Mrs Wilkins was struck down in tho house and no one but the doctor was implicated
 They believe that when Dr, and Mrs. Wilkins reached home, shortly after o'clock, Mrs. Wilkins removed her hat and gloves, put them on u chair near the dining room door and then let down her ha1r, placing the hairpins on the dining room table She then put on cotton gloves and started to feed her two collie dogs, it !s conjectured.
 Then came the quarrel, the author tiles believe, followed by an attack on the woman, who ran screaming from the house to the driveway, pur- sued by the murderer. On the drive way she was struck down with the hammer found near her head.
 Mrs. Wilkins hair was unpinned when she was struck down and the missing pins were found beside her gloves, inside the house, a few feet from the spot where her undamaged hat was discovered.
 The authorities last night denied the story that an attempt had been made by detectives from the prose- cutor's office to take Dr. Wilkins from the jail in Mineola to his Long Beach home yesterday.
 The doctor asked the sheriff if it would be permissible for him to go under suitable guard to his home to get clean clot1es,' officials said. The request was, or course, denied"

THE NEW WALL PAPER,

The choosing of wall paper w1ek which to renovate a room in which one is accustomed to spend many waking hours, Is a serious problem, not only from an artistic but from a health and scientific standpoint. Wall paper should be extremely sim pie in design, preferably plain tone. which Is restful to the eye. Large lowered designs are often trying, and in case of illness sometimes prove an- moving; then, too, the wall paper forms so obstructive a background that pictures are out of place, while with a plain toned background favor ite pictures bring a note of intimacy into the room.
 Warm, soft shades of yellow or tan are suitable for a northern room which has little sunlight to brighten it. Shades of grey and tan are the most satisfactory for the blending of all varieties of furnishings. Reds and vivid greens are startling and 1t has been found that arsenic is some- times contained In wall papers, par ticularly in these two colors. Colors which do not readily fade are least likely to contain arsenic Dull greens are restful in exceedingly bright rooms and & soft, light blue has a cooling effect in a. warm room.
