NIL W'hfaes Hdln 1tMfLnsT fe6lQenEs man
ager Of the Holly elevator, was in
Lamar Tuesday night In attendan-
ce at a communication of the
Knighst Templar lodge he also sat
at banquet having for its pur-
pose the inauguration Of a large
general hospital at Lamar, since
present hospital facilities are now
inadequate for the increasing de
mands of this busy section of the
county. The idea is apparently to
form a corporation, the stock of
which will be open to popular
subscription, for the erection and
equipment of a first class hospital
at cost of approximately 100000.
The detailed plans have not been
fully worked out but will be an
nounced later. Mr.. Smith says
the feed Tuesday night included
an abundance of fried chicken and
all the other articles of a first
class feast.

SIMPSON NOW PRESIDENT
OF KANSAS OIL COMPANY
Former Cattle and Ranchman in
This Vicinity Now in
Oil Game.

w. H. Simpson of Kansas City,
formerly engaged in the ranch and
cattle business in the vicinity of
Holly and well known here, is now
in the oil game, as president Of the
New Portland Oil & Gas Co., of
Kansas City, a 100000 corporation
owning six producing wells and
$50 acres of leases in the Fredonia,
Kans., field, is in Holly in the in
terest of his company.
President Simpson is accOmpan-
led by sales agent, j. G. Vanier
and they are offering 25OOO shares
of stock in their company at 81
per share, as will be seen by the
company's halfpage advertisement
on page three of this issue of The
Chieftain.
Every once in awhile some form
er Hollyite who was here in the
old days, when cowboys. coyotes
and prairie dogs were the chief
population as the head of some
big concern in the east, or as a
captain of some growing industry.
Simpson is one of these, and those
who knew him as young cattle
ranchman did not suppose that
he would ever attempt to
follow the pace of John d. by
trying to become millionaire by
the oil route. However, he seems
to have a good proposition and
he is well in line to be in the new
crop of millionaires.
Mr.. S mpson is cousin to
Messrs. Will, Collins and Miss
Maggie Simpson of this city.

CLANCY Sells Holly Cafe.

j. w. CLANCY sold the Holly Cafe,
which he has operated with great
success for several years, today to
Benz VanHall OF Syracuse who will
take possession at once and serve
breakfast in the morning. Mr. Van
Hall is an experienced restaurant
man and amply able to hold the
splendid trade of the place. Mr..
Chaney has not decided what he
will do other than take needed
rest. He will, however remain in
Holly for some time at least. Mr..
Chaney has long catered to and
tickled the palates of the hungry
in Holly and vicinity and his ever
genial smile at the Cafe will be
missed by the patrons of the
house.

HERE'S THE TRUTH ALL
IN VERY CONCISE FORM
We Do Not Know the Author or
His Name-But We're
For Him.

A Hen is not supposed to
have much common sense or
tact, yet every time she lays
an egg she cackles forth the
fact.
A Rooster hasn't got lot
of intellect to show but none
the less most roOsters have
enough good sense to crow.
The Mule, the most despis-
ed of beasts, has persistent
way of letting people know
he's near by his persistent
bray.
The Busy little Bees they
buzz bulls below and cows
moo, the watch-dogs bark,
and ganders quack and doves
and pigeons coo.
The Peacock spreads his
tail and squawks; pigs
squeal and robins sing, and
even serpents know enough
to hiss before they sting.
But Man, the greatest
masterpiece that Nature
could devise, will stop and
hesitate before they AdVER-
TISE!

IN COMMON HONESTY
Democratic representative Alleges

duce People to Buy Coal Early.

The following Associated Press
dispatch was contained in this
mornings state daily papers.

Nothing except an act of cong
ress," he said, will stay this in

coal operators to take advantage
of suffering humanity next winter.
l insist that congress pass such
an act and take it out of the
power of the operators to prOfiter.
There is no coal shortage and no
