HOLLY CHAUTAUQUA TO
OPEN TUESDAY MAY 27
This Years Program, Besides Being
One of Merit, Reflects Spirit
OF the Time,

The 1919 Holly Chautauqua pro-
gram reflects the spirit of the times.
We are glad the war is over; we
are glad we helped to win it. and
we want to have good time and
celebrate. We are getting back to
peace-time conditions, different from
those that preceded the war We
face International and domestic
complications that touch the lives
of every individual in the United
States.
We all want the United States to
be bigger and better nation than
ever-tO be the foremost nation of
the world and each one wants to do
his part. Chas. F. Horner is glad to
assure his many friends that the
1919 Chautauqua program reflects
the spirit of the times and is the
equal, at least. of any program he
has ever presented, fitting admira-
bly, into the happiness and the
thoughtfulness of this great age.
The people of Holly and vicinity
should enjoy every number. If
you can't attend both afternoon
and evening, arrange to attend one
or the other. You can't afford to
miss whole days dOings. Watch
for the official daily program which
will soon be ready.

Many Are Asking if Holly
Will Celebrate.
COMMERCIAL CLUB WILL
DECIDE FRIDAY NIGHT
Most Of Those Asked Thus Far Say
We Should Do Something This
Year-u You Are a Live One At
tend the Meeting.

Many are asking whether or not
Holly will celebrate the Fourth of
July this year, and most of those
talking about 1t feel that we ought
to make the eagle scream good and
plenty this year.
1t is urged among Othcrgs, in ia
vOr of celebrating, that the war is
over and we ought to celebrate on
this account If for no other reason.
Those presenting this phase of the
argument also emphasize by add
ing that we haxe talked much pa
triOtism all through the war and
we ought now to demonstrate lit
tie OF this patriotism in apprecia-
tiOn of the triumph OF democracy.
President Dicks, at the sugges-
tion OF ainumber of business men,
has called special meeting of the
commercial club for Friday night,
May 16, to discuss the matter and
decide what to do and how to do it.
If you are q live one attend the
commercial club meeting and ex-
press yourself. II we are going to
celebrate its none too early for the
preliminary work.
You know we can sit here like an
old bundle OF shucks and let our
young Americans go somewhere else
to have q good time, and spend
their money, but some pertinently
ask why not enthuse right here at
home. And there's something in
their query, too.

JOHN HOLDREN FAMILY
NEAR SYRACUSE VICTIMS
On Their, Way Home Car Stalls on
Bridge and Before it Could Be
Started Is Swept Away by Wall
of Water, Only Three Surviving.

Syracuse, Kas., Monday, May l2.-
John Holdren, wife, and. daughter
Helen lost their lives in the flood
caused by cloudburst near May
line, five miles northeast of Syra-
cuse, Saturday afternoon.
The entire Holdren family includ-
ing Ray, Harold and Ethel, besides
the father and mother and Oldest
daughter, Helen, aged 10, were on
the way to their ranch, nine miles
northeast of Syracuse, in their
Ford, when the storm caught them.
According to the story of the old
est son, Harold, aged IL, the storm
was observed to be approaching
about o'clock. They stopped the
car and debated whether to return
to Syracuse or to endeavor to make
their way on to the ranch.
They finally went on until the car
went dead on a bridge across what
is usually dry creek bed, but was
at that time q raging river.
The boys, Harold and Ray, and
the daughter Ethel, got out to push
the car off the bridge, and at that
instant 4-foot wall of water swept
over the bridge, carrying everything
before it.
All that Harold can remember is
that he found himself clambering to
solid ground with Ray under one
arm and Ethel under the other He
looked around to see where the 9th.
ers were, but only the car was in
sight. 1t was rolling over and over
carried by the ,surging current of
the swollen stream.
The three children looked in vain
for the other members of the fami-
ly. So nearly worn out with their
experience they walked the five
miles to Syracuse. There relief
party was hurriedly made up and
rushed out to the scene.
After seven hours of searching,
the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs. Holdren
and daughter Helen were discover
ed out on the prairie where the
torrent had borne them, the water
having receded so that they were on
solid ground.
The two women were not bruised
or cut in any way so it was appar-
ent that their death was caused by
drowning. Mr.. Hohren's face was
so distigured and slashed, and his
skull crushed, that the doctor who
examined him believes that he
must have been strulk by the rOl.
ling car, causing instant death.
Mr.. Holdren was successful
rancher well known and esteemed
throughout Hamilton county, and
the tragic death OF Mr.. Holdren and
his wife and daughter was n shock
to the community. Helen had at
tended the Syracuse High School,
graduating in 1918.

ing. Mrs. Coffin was among the

sincerely voiced by her numerous
friends.

FOR Law ENFORCEMENT
State Humane Officer Fanger Here
Last Saturday.

+. b. Fanger of Denver, official re-
preventative of the State Bureau of
Child and Animal Protection, was
in Holly last Saturday in the course
of his official duty. Mr. Fanger had
not been called to Holly but being
in this section took occasion to
stop off between trains and visit the
schools and look things over in a
general way.
Mr.. Fanger is very alert and is al
SO strong for law enforcement re-
gardless of the social or other posi-
ton of viOlatOrs of the law relative
to cruelty to children or animals
He gives especial attention also to
the enforcement OF the state law
minors from lettering
in pool halls.
1t is altogether wholesome to have
state officer whose business it is
to look after such matters, to call
around occasionally, since every
community is likely to grow lax in
the matter of observing the stat
utes on such matters. An official
suggestion or admOnitiOn occasion
ally does world of good
And Mr.. Fanger appears to be a
man admirably adapted to his pO-
sitiOn, possessing excellent tact, and
at the same time a firmness which
impresses people that he means
business from the start. He there
fore gets results with the minimum
of friction and litigation.

SANGER'S CIRCUS WAS
ONE TREMENDOUS FROST
Its Advertising Matter Was Fla
grantly Misleading and Per
formance Decidedly Punk.

Sangers circus which appeared in
Holly last Monday afternoon and
night was the most gigantic frost"
in the show line which has yet Wis
tied the town. Their advertising
was flagrantly deceptious and mis-
leading and its performance per
haps the most mediocre thing in
the circus world tOay.
In its advertising the Sanger ag-
gregatiOn announced the Famous
European Shows" when as a mat
ter of fact the one Chinese near
acrobat was perhaps the only indi-
vidual in the outfit who had been
outside of America. 1t also herald
ed "Karo, the largest elephant in
the world" The only animal with
the show besides the four shetland
ponies and two white trained
horses, was one lone monkey and he
looked decidedly out of place and
unhappy.
Sangers advertised gala golden
parade at noon, but the parade
never paraded. Anyone knows that
anything called circus that can't
put up parade is weak sister in
deed. The three rings and two
stages, when it came to the Missouri
process dwindled to one very small
ring and the white top on this Oc-
casion covered no such parapher
MALTA as a stage
The "One ticket. admits to ALL was
equally fraudulent, for you were
tipped so much per for each dinky
side show and one jip of so cents
and war fixins attached for the
big show"
AS matter of fact the Sanger out
fit ought to be prosecuted for
fraud and every city clerk applied
to for show license by this show"
ought to pass them up.
