COuQltlOuSs
The farmers of the country should
have an unusual interest in road
building at this timo. If farming is
to continue on it's present profitable
level. there must be no business stag
nation in the country and the vast
road building projects in the various
States are destined to exert a pro-
found influence in keeping business
as usual or better than usual" "
Road building creates a demand for
materials and absorbs labor, and the
labor problem is a serious one at
present and will continue serious
until American industries have read
justed themselves to peace produc-
'tion on scale to meet the augment
cd demand of America AMI Europe.
The Trans-Mississippi Readjust-
n'ent Congress, held in Ohama. Nebr
late in February, summarized the
present situation in the following
language.
We do not favor pause in the in
dustrial process to await some future
readjustment Of wages and prices Of
staples. So far as public improve
ments are concerned, they should be
resumed at once. 1t is better that
the public should absorb the increas-
ed cost, if any should hereafter ap.
pear, than that general unemployment
and consequent disaster and social
disorder should follow.
"We believe also that the promo
ters of private construction and busi-
ness enlargement should take heart !
If courage and should believe in the |
resumption of business
prosperity in the United States
There is no place in the American
'cheme of things for the pessimist or
he doubter. Our country today
eads the world in prosperity. 1t can
ose its leadership only by its own
'aint-heartedness. We especially
leprecate any concerted holding back
# construction and business resump-
ion, for the purpose Of forcing a re-
uctiOn in wages or cost of material.
Both as a means of stimulating
he resumption Of industry and re-
moving the shadow of unemployment
rom the working people and also
erve the broader and more perms-
ent purpose of supplementing the
abroad lines and to develop the in
and and farm commerce of the coun-
ry, the work of constructing good
Dads should be promptly carried on
v cooperation of the Federal and
tate Governors and local commun-
lies"
In the recent Conference of Gov
nrors and Mayors in Washington. it
-as apparent that these executives
ERE disposed to go in for extensive
Dad and public improvements cam
aigns in their respective districts.
'hese can be made a success only
hen they are supported by the citi-
ems. For this reason, the farmer, as
ell as the city dweller, who UNDER
.ands how Importantly building and
work now is affecting
eneral business conditions, will back {

MUCH NEW SIDEWALK
BEING BUILT IN HOLLY
City Councils Recent Order Is
Being Quite Generally Com
piled with Already.

The recent order of the city coun-
Gil that all broken cement walks
about town must be repaired by
July 1st is being quite generally
complied with already and numer
Gus walks have been entirely re
built or satisfactorily repaired. b.
A. Keith, the leading cement con-
tractor of the town, has been busy
with good force of men the past
10 days and has a crew of men at
work this week along the street in
front of The Chieftain office and the
local telephone exchange
Mr.. Keith has number of con-
tracts for walks Throughout the
town and expects to be busy for the
next month or two at least. The re-
suit will be that Holly will soon be
able to boast of more good cement
sidewalks than any town in the
valley
Mr.. Keith was awarded the con
tract by the city council at it's last
session to put in the necessary
CROSSINGS throughout the town.
The Councils recent order to
straighten up and repair walks was
one of the best things it has done,
and nothing will have added more
to the towns appearance when the
order has been fully complied with.

Mrs. Partridge Toastmistress-

The social and civic event of the
last week end was the get together
banquet given by the Holly Civic
Club at the High school auditori-
um last Thursday evening. There
were about 60 leading ladies of the
town in attendance and the general
purpose, of course, was to sort of
take stock and organize for future
work after the long lapse due to
the demands Of the Red Cross
since the war began.
Mrs. w. S. Partridge, president of
the club, acted as toastmistress in
her usual grace and dignity, and
among those who responded to
toasts were, Mrs. T. G. Demaray, on
Ideal Holly" Mrs. L. NJ. Appel, just

A Plucky Pair. These.

For genuine pluck and staying
qualities Mr. and Mrs. L. j. Gilmore
are in high class and are to be ad-
mired. They are among the new
comers to Holly and Mr.. Gilmore be-
longs to the office force of the Ar
kansas Valley Sugar Beet g. Irri-
gated Land Co. They early saw
that to remain residents Of Holly
with any degree of comfort it was
necessary to own their own home,
SO they bought cottage adjoining
the w. Fl. Woodhouse property and,
have since been having it improved
and remOdeled. And right here is
where the plucky part comes in, for
they have retained possession of the
house while carpenters, plasterers,
painters and plumbers have been at
work. adding two additional rooms
and q porch. These Workmen,
while very cOnsiderate, have been
compelled to encrOach upon dOmes-
tic comfort at times so that Mr. and
Mrs. Gilmore have been chased from
room to room about the house
while other rooms were being over
hauled. That it has been siege
does not half tell it. The main
thing is, however, that this newly
welded couple are still holding the
fort and haven't lost their former
smiles and good humor Mrs. Gil
more has demonstrated herself to
be one of the most courageous
ladies in the town. She says the
whole noisy bunch have promised
to get away Saturday.

HOLLY HAS ENTHUSIASTIC
BOY SCOUT ORGANIZATION
Rev. H. T. LeGrand Of the Baptist
Church Scout Master-Blaine
A. Keith Assistant.

Holly has a live troop of Boy
Scouts. That they are in earnest is
we'll attested by the fact that they
have rented 10 arres of ground OF
J. A. Pierce north of town, eight
acres of which have already been
planted to sugar beets and the re
manning two acres are being prepar-
ed for Mexican beans.
The farmers in the Pierce neigh
bOrhOOd donated the use of their
horses to the boys who went
out last Friday and Saturday
and plOwed, narrowed and ditched
the ground ready for the planting
of the beets. The work was done
under the personal direction of AS
sistant Scout Master Keith. Satur-
day afternoon the boys got through
in time for a hike to Major Lake
west of town where they went
through various drills, fished and
had good time.
The Rev. Ii. II. LeGrand, pastor
of the Baptist church, has been
commissioned as scout master, with
Blaine A. Keith as assistant scout
master. There are 20 in the organ
iZatiOn with many more recruits
preparing to join.
1t is fortunate in this connection
that Rev. LeGrand is not new in
the Boy Scout movement but has
held commissions for four years last
past at What Cheer and at COrwith,
iowa, where he had been previous
ly located as pastor. The Boy
Scouts, however, is nOn-sectarian
and in accordance with the rules
and regulations of the order, boys
between IL and 81 years of age of
whatever religious creed aYe eligi
BILE to membership.
1t is the plan of both Scout Mas
ter LeGrand and Assistant Keith to
build up good strong organization
here in Holly and they invite the
encouragement and cooperation Of
the citizens of both town and coun-
try. 1t will be splendid thing for
the boys in every way and should
have the hearty support and en-
dorsement of every father and moth
er in the community. 1t will be a
good tonic for the boys both ply
sically and intellectually.

United States Patent RIGHTS
Are Involved.
JOHNSON AND HECKEfHoRN
PROTEST INTERFERENCE
Leon B. Schuh of Wayland, Mich,
Seeks to Interfere with Granting
Of Patent on Bushing Fuller In.
vented by Arthhr johnson.

Attornies Edward F. COlladay
and C. E. Doyle of Washington, D..
c. were in Holly Monday and Tues
day of this week to take the depO-
sitiOns of witnesses in the case Of
Arthur X. johnson, of this city, the
inventor of an automobile bushing
puller, and w. w. Heckethorn, his
partner in the manufacture of the
tool, against Leon B. Schuh, an in
terferer, and who is seeking to in
fringe on the rights of Messrs. john
son and Heckethorn in their inven-
tiOn and it's manufacture.
The dispositions were taken before
Notary Public j. G. WadswOrth
Tuesday. The stenographic work
was done by Mrs. G. Clinton Page.
Among the witnesses examined be-
sides Mr.. johnson and Mr.. Heck
ethOrn, were Ray Brown, now of
Chicago, Earl Chambers and Il. A.
Howard of Hutchinson, Kansas.
The dispositions include hun.
dred or more typewriter pages and
will be used in final hearing be
fore the United States patent office
at Washington, D. G. some time dur
ing the summer.
The invention in controversy is an
ingenious little tool which emenat-
ed from the brain of Arthur John
son a couple or three years ago, and
used in the GrecOval of-Old and worn
out brass bushings from automo-
bile parts. Mr.. johnson formed a co
partnership with Mr.. w. w. Heeke-
thorn of the FL. -B. Motor Co. for the
manufacture of the tool. which is
made in several sizes, in the H. b.
garage machine shop. The success
of the invention is amply attested
by the fact that more than 1900
of the tools have been made in the
shop here in Holly and sold, and
the demand far exceeds the present
local capacity for manufacture.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. John
son and his associates will be sue
cessful in their present litigation
and that they may then see their
way clear to expand their present
facilities to meet the growing de
mand for their invention. 1t would
probably mean the addition of from
rs to SO families to HOlly's pOpula-
tiOn besides q healthy pay roll
of 5000 or $4,000 per month. At
any rate the enterprise merits local
encouragement, both moral and fl
nancial.
