PLEA FOR FRENCH LANGUAGE
The Paris Matin Asks That 1t Be
Officially Used by Society of
Nations.

Paris.-The Matin makes a plea for
the adoption of French as the official
language of the society of nations. 1t
points out that French has been the
language of diplomacy since the eight
eenth century and that it was the Ian
guage of the Algeciras and The Hague
conferences, and it argues that, while
French is not superior to other lam
guages, it is recognized as peculiarly
adapted for clearly and unambiguously
expressing fine shades of thought.
The Matin recalls that at Karlstar
in 1905 after the protocol regulating
the dissolution of the Swedo-Nor-
wegian union was drawn up in the two
Scandinavian languages it was decided
that for greater precision and to avoid
all doubts as to its Interpretation a
third text of the protocol should be
written in French.

OLD War BONDS
SOLD OVER PAR
Civil War Securities Brought
e Par CGat Above Cost.

If History repeats itself, Liberty
Bonds will in a very short time after
the peace pact is signed, be worth, in
the open market, probably more than
their face value.
This vas the record made by gov
eminent bonds issued at the time of
the Civil War and upon which a much
lower rate of interest was paid than
is allowed on Liberty Bonds.
In 1861, the first year of the Civil
War, bonds of the 500 denomination
sold in the market as low as $S3. But
within a year they ran up to $107.25,
and ten years later they brought
S123.12.
This is practically the history of
bond issues of all responsible nations.
They sell low soon after issuance be-
cause many holders of them are fool
ish enough to throw them into the
hands of spectators when they need
money instead of obtaining loans upon
them from banks or responsible fnan-
cial houses.
Everybody knows that a first mort
gage is one of the most desirable
forms of securities. The Victory Lib
erty Loan is a first mortgage on the
entire United States and is the very
highest form Of security in the whole
world.
Holders of Liberty Bonds need not
concern themselves about the market
price of the bonds. That is only the
price for the bonds that are foolishly
disposed of by unwise investors. The
bond actually is worth its face value
all the time. Those who are quick
to buy them at reduced prices know
their value and don't let go of them.
Subscribe and hold The record
of other war loans Of the United
States indicates that at the end OF
the loan term they will be worth a
great deal more than you paid for
them, besides having brought you in
terest all of the time.

MAKE VICTORY LOAN
AN OLD AGE PROP
Young Mans Chance to EVade
Middle-Lite Dependency.

Any young man who will take a
minute to study the tables upon which
insurance companies base their risks
will find therein an incentive for
making he biggest possible investment
in the Victory Liberty Loan.
The tables were compiled to enable
insurance men to get reliable death
ton very interesting facts were also
established bearing upon the earning
capacity and ultimate fortunes of the
subjects kept under observation.
1t should point a moral to every
young man to learn that in one hun
bred cases upon which are based
many important insurance figures, only
five of the subjects died possessed o
sufficient means TO pay for their own
funerals.
When observation was begun, one
hundred men of good health and
standing, aged twenty-five years, were
selected. Their careers were follow
ed through life. At the age of A
sixteen were dead, fifteen were no
longer self-supporting, sixty-1ve were
still able to work but had no other
mean of support than their wages,
and only four were wealthy.
Think of it! Only four per cent
of these young men, who started in
the prime of life under the same cir
cumstances, in the same town, with
the same health and the same oppor-
tunities, reached the age of 45 with
means to enable them to face with
confidence the downhill path of de-
Ginning years.
AT 80 years thirty were dependent
upon children, relatives or charity. AT
So only ten of them, including the
four wealthy men, were still self
supporting. And at 70, sixty-three of
the original 100 were dead without
leaving any estate and all of the
others, excepting the few possessing
wealth, were supported by their chill
dren, their relatives or by charity.
These are no imaginary instances,
but hard, matter-of-fact Illustrations
upon which the biggest insurance COM
panies of the country stake their re-
sources.
There is a wonderful sermon to
young men in this little story. It is
taken from the Book of Life and it
breaches Thrift. Unless the habit of
saving is acquired in youth the pros
poets of reaching old age with a COM
petence are very poor.
No better means of saving is offered
to the young men of the country than
that presented by the Victory Liberty
Loan. You can share in the loan on
the easiest terms imaginable. In buying
you will be taking the first step
toward providing for your old age.
Perhaps it may be the foundation of
a fortune.
Take heed of the unfortunate ex-
periences of others. The law of av-
erages never goes wrong. 1t has point
ed an infallible moral in the case of
the one hundred young men of in
surance study and observation.
Don't drift into old age pennileSs as
they did. Subscribe to the Loan

Harry O'Kane, one of the rural
mail carriers out of Holly, has been
in Jersey City, N. j., the past ten
days demonstrating to the satisfac-
tion of a branch of the United
States army his adeptness as a
rifle shot.
In other words, Harry was one of
the six crack men picked from
.what is known as the rifle club nt
Lamar to 60 to Jersey City and
participate in national rifle shoot
with all transportation and other
expenses paid by Uncle Sam. Den
yer and Lamar men are included in
the Colorad contingent, which is
called the Civilian Team.
In letter to friends here Harry
says he saw Gay New York" last
Saturday and on Sunday pOmanad

did not say anything about the
scores made by the Colorado team
but said he would start home next
Saturday and would tell us about

DRYLANDER HAS NOT HAD
CROP FAILURE IN 10 YEARS
J. II. Lindsey Raises Excellent
Melons, Broom Corn, Wheat,
Maize, Kafir and Feterita.

j. H. Lindsey, residing ID miles
south of Holly and one of the most
thrifty and successful southside
dry land farmers, came in this
morning with a small load of water
melons, muskmelons, and samples
of his field and broom corn.
Mr.. Lindsey's homestead, which
he filed on 10 years ago, when he
came from Knasas, is somewhat
sandy and well adapted to melons.
The samples he brought in today
were pictures, and The Chieftain
is more than grateful for three fine
specimens including both kinds of
melons.
Mr.. Lindsey has ten acres of fine
broom corn this year which he says
is maturing well. Some of his last
last years crop was bought by the
Lamar broom factory and was re-
ported to be as good as brush
which brought $400 per ton.
He has a good crop of maize,
Ka1r corn and had 20 acres of
wheat this year. Mr.. Lindsey made
this significant statement this
morning, that he had not had a
complete crop failure on his home
stead during the entire 10 years
since he filed on 1t.

J. B. HARDEN OFFICER OF
PORTLAND OIL & GAS CO.
Former Mayor of Holly and Bank
Cashier Now Interested in
Oil Game.

President W. H. Simpson, of the
Portland Oil & Gas Co. of Kansas
City, who with his chief stock
salesman, J. c. Vanier, have been
in Holly and vicinity the past
three weeks, report having met
with exceptional success present
ing their investment proposition
! here.
Mr.. Simpson and his associates
/ have an @acre lease III the Rantoul
district near Fredonia and on prop.
erty adjoining their holdings a 49,
000,O00-foot gas well and 50-barrel
oil well are reported to have been
recently brought in. 1t is the pur-
pose of the Portland Oil & Gas Co.
to begin drilling on the 80-acre
lease within the next 60 days.
Alessrs. Simpson and Vanier have
financially interested several sub
stantial citizens in this section in
their proposition which includes
25,OO0 shares of stock in the com
pany at one dollar per share.
1t is significant in this connec-
tion that the secretary-treasurer of
the Portland Oil & Gas Co. is none
other than j. B. Harden, a former
moving spirit in the early develop
ment of Holly. He was for some
time mayor of the town and cashier
of the First National bank of Holly,
and closely identified with the
growing activities of the town at
that time. He left Holly some six
years ago to go to Kansas City
Mr.. Harden will be kindly remem-
bered by many people here who
will be glad to hear of his accumu-
lation of million or more dollars
from oil deveOpment.
Mr.. Simpson reports that he ex-
poets to dispose of the entire allot-
ment of 25,00O shares of stock in
their company here in the next few
weeks. The company's advertise
ment elsewhere in this issue of The
Chieftain very clearly explains
their proposition and will be of in
terest to prospective investors in
oil stocks

readers of The Holly Chieftain will
be interested from this time on in
reading of the flights of its aerial

ticularly when someone wishes to
go to Denver, Kansas City, Chicago
or some other place in hurry.

out with decidedly encouraging
prospects for remunerative busi-
ness. The company already has a
number of inquiries relative ito it's

begin enrolling students October
1st.
Holly is getting some genuine
publicity already from it's aerial

country flights drops a bundle of
these in each town it passes. Need
less to say the posters are eagerly
picked up and read by the people
