FRIENDS MADE AND KEPT

You will often come across people
who complain that they have but few
friends. They will point to other peo-
pie who have many and wonder why
such distinction is made.
The matter is easy nough to ex-
plain, for, as some one has we'll said,
''The only way to have a friend is
to be one"
For friendship cannot possibly be a
one-sided matter. Just as it takes
two to make bargain or quarrel so
does it take the same number to make
a friendship.
No one can stand aloof from others,
waiting to be sought, without expert.
encing keen disappointment. This is
because friendships are not made that
way. People do not look you over as
you stand off by yourself and say:
NOW, there's some one I'd like to
know! I'll make point to draw him
or her out and take all the pains pos
sible to establish friendship"
That's not the way it happens in
real life, although some still imagine
that it is. What really happens Is
this; Two people meet, and gradually
they find points of congeniality gradu-
ally each does little favors for the
other, gradually feeling of affection
takes root in each heart Neither
one is thinking of what can be gained
from the acquaintance; rather, each
is thinking and planning to give in
stead Of take. In other words, both
are trying to be friend unselfshly.
And 10, it is the very thing which
makes their friendship.
Bear in mind, dear raeder, if you
happen to be among those who la
ment their scarcity of friends.

terday afternoon the board unani

tor, the Rev. H. II. LeGrand, for an
period, instead of the
usual period of one year. The pur-
pose of the indeterminate or I'M
limited term is in order to give the
pastor opportunity to plan ahead
for more than year where he
deems fit. Pastor LeGrand has ac
cepted the call despite the offer of
a larger pastOrate at a considerably
increased salary. Though he has
been here but a year Mr.. LeGrand
has become attached to the Holly
pastorate and is greatly encouraged
by recent growth and the prospect
for the attainment of still greater
strength. Many outside his church
will be glad to learn that he is to
remain here indefinitely as he has
many warm friends outside his con-
gregation as well as in his church

The feature of the evening was

salient points of Mr.. Duniway's ad-

tendency toward the theoretical in
the past in educational work.
Mr.. DuniWay is q man of wide edu-

HANDSOME NEW POULTRY
HOUSE ABOUT COMPLETED
Mrs. Kate Millinger Has Purchased
Fifteen Hundred White
Leghorn Chicks.

Mrs. Kate Millinger has Just about
completed one of the most modern
poultry houses on the 4-acre tract,
which she recently purchased at the
northwest corner of town, to be
found throughout the lower Arkan-
sas Valley.
The new house is built according
to the most approved design for
modern poultry raising with parti-
cular attention to sanitation and
ventilation. The house is 2Ox6O feet
in size and will be ready for Occu-
pancy by the end of the week. 1t is
a model of convenience and neat
ness in every detail and is already
attracting the admiration of peo-
pie interested in poultry about
town and in the nearby country
Saturday Mrs. Millinger received
l,5O0 day-Old pure-bred White Leg
horn chicks which she will raise for
winter layers. They are from a poul-
terer in Rocky Ford who makes a
speciality of this breed, with special
attention to high laying records
Mrs. Millinger will have her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Ivy Sprinkler of Wallace,
Idaho, associated with her in this
new enterprise. Mrs. Sprinkler ex-
poets to arrive here about the mid
die of July to join her mother, and
their new poultry industry will be
a matter of exceptional interest to
their friends as well as pOulterers
generally, who wish for them un-
limited success.
There seems no reason in the
world why Holly should not become
one of the greatest poultry produc-
ing centers in the state. Every con-
dition is very favorable. Feed can
be cheaply raised, the climate is un-
surpassed and all that is needed is
the judiciOus investment of reason
able capital and personal atten-
ton. There is no business in which
any person may engage with so
small capital and reasonable as
surance of success, and secure such
quick returns.
