SPIRIT Which Made Detroit While

Build Holly.

I Buffalo and Detroit were
I about the same size less than
+ ten years ago. And situated
I about the same.
I But there was a difference:
+ In Buffalo they all put it
+ into their pockets as fast as
+ they made it.
I In Detroit they put some of
T it into the town.
7 Today-Detroit is twice as
I large as Buffalo-and forty
+ times as attractive!
I A lot in Detroit is worth
I many times what the lot
I would be worth in Buffalo If
Z anyone wanted to build on it.
I The only man who would
+ want to build in Buffalo
+ would be the man who
I hadn't seen Detroit.
+ 1t all goes to show that
I community spirit" pays
+ back all it's costs and many
+ times more.
I Also that Progress is partly
+ Willingness to let Loose.
+ The way to make Holly
T prosperous is to spend money
I THE SAME SPIRIT THAT

I IN HOLLY. GET THE

YA1lGIRS HIGHLY PLIAsID
WITH SHIPPING ASSOCIATION
Manager Petsr Bauer Recently
4sds Second Shipment Of Stock
to Kansas City Market.

That the local farmers CO-Opera-
tive Live Stock Shipping AssOcia-
tiOn fills long felt need is indicat-
ed by the enthusiasm of its men,
bers who have recently taken ad.
vantage of its operation.
Manager Peter Bauer recently
took another car of stock to the
Kansas City market where he sold
hogs ut $l8.45 per hundred weight,
netting each shipper s. to $3.50 per
head over old methods of selling.
The price for cattle ranged from IS
for Gamers to $l1 for cows and $l3
for veal calves All farmers who had
stock In the shipment were especial
ly well pleased with the returns
and are surprised at the real con.
venience of shipping through the
new association plan. In other
words they are sure of q good
price at nearly all times, instead OF
having to take whatever they could
get before the organization of the
association.
Farmers who are not members
may ship through the association
though the membership fee is but 81
and the advantages are SO great
every farmer should become a men,
ber. The membership is growing,
however, and it is hoped that be
fore the year is over all stockmen
in this vicinity will have become en-
rolled in the association.
If you will call up Peter A. Bauer,
the manager, Phone SO-R-2, or write
him at Holly, he will be glad to give
you any information about the or
ganizatiOn you desire.

Special interest in the campaign
this year was largely eliminated by
the fact that there was but one
candidate for mayor and only one
nominee for trustee for one year,
and the furter fact that there was
no particular issue presented. The
campaign was entirely devoid of i'll
feeling and partisan strife which
has marked some Of the city elec-
tiOns of the past.
Quite 3 number failed to vote for
mayor, evidently thinking only Of
the personnel In the two.year trus-
t8e contest. T16 same Was true
with Eeferece TO NJ. u. DeWald, who
had no opposition for the One-year
term for trustee. HI. D. Steele, the
mayoralty candidate, therefore re
fceived but 161 of the 1872 votes cast
and MIR. DeWald received 1856
Following is the vote OF each can
didate as shown by the official cleo

General Manager Of Com.
pany Here Thursday.
ACCOMPANIED N BRANCH
NANAoHRss sURvEYs HOLLY
Company Now Has Chain Of Ten
Stores in Arkansas Valley Inelud-
ing Branches 1t Lamar, Las Ami
mas. Wiley and Rocky Ford.

Food Company, with headquarters
at Trinidad, was contemplating
opening first class grocery store in
Holly, were further and materially
strengthened here last week by a
personal visit OF Mr.. r. f. SnOdgarss,
president and general manager of
the company, here last Thursday af-
ternoOn, accompanied by two of his
branch store managers. Messrs J. E.
Rose OF the Lamar house. and Roy
Pearson Of the Wiley store.
Mr.. SnOdgrass paid casual visit
to Holly year or more ago and
briefly looked over the town with
view to locating but for various
reasons location was abandoned at
that time indefinitely. But Presi-
dent SnOdgrass' visit at this time ac.
cOmpanied by two Of his most able
branch managers, would indicate
more serious consideration of the
project, and the further fact that
Holly presents some features which
appeal to this we'll known progres.
sive and aggressive firm. 1t can
scarcely be denied that Holly af-
fOrds the natural trade center for
one of the largest agricultural, cat
tie raising and alfalfa hay prOduc-
Ing centers any where in the state.
That many Of lIS who live here In
Holly do not fully realize the towns
great possibilities along this line of
cxpAnBiUn &ild growth is probably
responsible for HOlly'ss limited
growth In recent years; but with
the reconstruction period: following
the war just setting In It is not q
wild guess to anticipate material
growth In both the wealth and
population of Holly within the next
few years.
President SnOdgrass and his men,
while they looked over number of
possible locations while in town,
and stated to a Chieftain represen-
tative that one or more of these
were quite desirable, yet no definite
arrangements were made for open
ing store, and nothing definite
was given out by Mr.. SnOdgrass
further than the promise that he or
some of his men might return to
Holly at an early date when final
decision would probably be reached

express their favorable impression
Of Holly's location, railroad facili-
ties, etc.
The opening of q Snodgrass store
in Holly, judged by observations Of
the company's operations in other
towns, would prove very import
ant acquisition to the towns COM
mercial growth and importance, be-
sides presenting many advantages
In their line which the town does
not now enjoy. Among these features
would be produce market for all
the farmers products brought to
town, paid for in cash at the high
est market price and the customer
allowed to 60 and spend the pro-
ceeds wherever he wishes. Quality,
Price and Service" is one of the
slogans of he SnOdgrass Food Co.,
wherever they operate and one
which Is strongly adhered to.

COST OF DISTRIBUTION OUT OF
ALL REASON.

Dakota estimates that GO per cent OF
he final selling price Of a dozen eggs
goes to the cost OF distribution II Is
dozen eggs sold for a dollar here IN
Price just sixty-nino cents of It would
have to be- spent for distribution
And while he figures that out he ais
estimates that it costs but 20 per cen
20 distribute oranges. The orange
growers Of Florida and California are
organized. They advertise extensive.
H.. They have built mp national de-
mand for their fruit and 1t is having
q bigger sale today than it ever had
before. Experts have figured that
distributing these oranges Is not half
10 expensive as distributing a product
that is not advertised vt all. OF
course the hen was the original ad
,crtiser. but she uses the methods of
the oldfashioned towncricr Whcr
she brings forth an egg she tells the
world about it. This noisy announce
mcnt, however, never did her any par
ticular good. II results in the nest
being rubbed of the crg. The egg IL
sold and somebody gets the money.
Egg prices are fixed largely by th,
big dairy interests Tho farmer who
cumcs 10 town with his eggs may hav,
the same expense bill this week that
he had last. But if the market price
of eggs is down this week he gets les,
money. lie sells nj the market prize
whatever that may be-. The telc
phone has enabled him, IN most cases
to know before he starts from HON,
what he is going TO realize on his prO
ducts when he sells them. but ever
that doesn't enable him to always fi'
the price on his own wares.

HORSES STILL GOING CONCERN
IN THIS COUNTRY.

Horses are hordly maintaining their
number ON farms in this country IN
consequence of the autotrick, the au-
,omobilc and the needs of the war.

roau OF crop estimates of the United

Furthermore, there are now a third
Of a million more than At the begin.

the war would GlamDode the horse
market in this country and would send
prices high enough 10 rob the farms
Of a large number Of much needed
work animals. but there was no such
shock a. was expected. From 1910 to
1918 horses ON farms increased a lie
tie each year, usually over per cent,
and since 1915 the increase of foui
years has apparently been over thrcc
hundred thousand, The present total
is 2l,bji,OOO head. The exports OF
horses during the war 10 December
81, 1918, have been slightly more than
100000. AZ the prcwar rate the
norpal exports would have been about
one hundred and twenty thousand. A.
far as covered by domestic exports,
the war made an extra demand on
farmers for almost nine hundred thou
sand horses. To this must be added
tho extra demand of the United States
government, by January II, 1919
the war department had shipped over
seas close 10 thirty-niuo thousand
horses, and ON November >, 1918, thai
department had IN this country near,
