Clean and Inviting Past Week
Civic. Club Wants Holly People
to Get Cleanup Habit.

The efforts OF the Women's Civic
Club and the city council in behalf
of tidy town on Dairy Day have
already had q wholesome effect-at
least there has been much smoke
and the aroma of burning leaves in
town during the past week, while
many Of the lawns and parkings in
The residence sections are neat and
clean and the grass has already
added to the attractiveness of many
places.
In further prosecution of this
Cleanup campaign, Mrs. w. s.
Partridge, president of the Civic
Club and Mrs, II. s. Rollins, also q
member OF this splendid Organiza-
Jon, accompanied by Lieut.. L. j.
Gilm0ur with amegaphone and act
ing as speiler, covered the entire
town Monday morning by auto
OmObile decked with various sug-
gestive signs urging the pOpulace
to clean up.
When place was found where
civic pride seemed to be still wrap

look good to our visitors on Dairy
Day. The Civic Club ladies' are en-
titled to much commentator for
their efforts In this laudabR task
Of making Holly tidy,
Then after Dairy Day is over it is
the purpose of the club to get
Holly folks in the cleanup habit
that Is not cohfine their efforts
along this line to one or two days
each spring but to keep clean. 1t
is well known that nothing so i'm
presses the casual visitor as q clean
town. 1t excites many tcommenda-
lions by these visitors after they
have returned to their homes,
and is. therefore, q good advertise
ment for any town which manifests
this degree of civic pride.
Let's clean up, then fall into the
habit and clean up little all the
time. If we'll do 1t it will be the
biggest advertisement for Holy we
have ever put out for the small
amount Of monev involved.

DEMosTHENIANs WIN m
oRAroRICAL CONTESTS
John Pierce, Son Of Mr.. and Mrs. J
A. Pierce, Making Good ct
Valparaiso.

John Pierce, who is taking q
course at the University at Val
paraiso, Ind, Is evidently getting
along in excellent shape. From the
following item taken from q recent
issue of one of the Valparaiso pa.
pers, it will also be seen that he
is developing something of orator.
ical ability-one feature of modern
education which is not given suffi.
Gent attention. John Is the sec.
ond son of Mr. and Mrs. j. A.
Pierce north Of town.
The Valparaiso paper says of
him:
First place in the contest Tues
day to determine the local repre-.
sentative to the state oratorical
contest was awarded to John Pierce,
a member of the Demosthenian De-
batting Society. The state contest
will take place next month in In
dianapolis, and Judging from Mr..
Pierce's rendition Tuesday, Val
paraiso will be creditably account
ed for, to say the least.
Second place was awarded to
Harold Quinton, another Demos.

OF the Holly Women's Club for
1870, and at the regular meeting last
Friday Mrs. J. II. Leonard present

struction of France. 1t was clear
that Mrs. Leonard had given the
subject considerable thought in
her preparation and the result was
that the club was both enlightened
and entertained. Mrs. Leonard's
paper was the chief feature of the
junction. The club met at the
home of Mrs. F. H. Allen who serv.
ed delightfully."-. Mrs. HI. s. Rollins,
vice president of the club, presided

PASTORS SALARY RAISED
At MEfHoDISf CHURCH
Congregation Manifest Apprseia-
ton Of Rev. Lucas Services
and High Cost Of Living.


The salaried man, particularly
preacher and the school teacher.
has been driven closer to the corner
in the high cost OF living more
nearly than most other men. " hile
their actual living expenses have
GRADUALLY Increased since The be-
siillAllg Of Lne " Otld-Waf, tAelr SAL.
aries, IN niOsC lnsSaiices, have NOT
Deen raised. IL Is encouraging
therefore, 10 note tnaG the general
pubic has begun TO appreciate
mat the paSLOr ana the school
iiiasLer really are IN the game o.
life.
A case in point Is the recent &C
ton of the holly Methodist church
board in raising Pastor Lucas sal.
airy from $500 TO $500 for the bal
ance of the year, and the parsonage
rent which is figured at $3.50 per
year, aggregates $205O. This is indeed
a very moderate sum and it would
be really interesting to know how
Pastor Lucas may keep all his per
lOwance.
1uC x1Olly SC1lOOl OO0IN o. q
meeting last week also advanced
the salaries OF the teachers approx.
imately 1870 and Supt. Shanner was
employed for the coming year at
$500 No good citizen will com.
plain at these raises AS a matte
of fact the average school superin.
tendent can command more mOnev
in other lines, as result of which
condition, many of them have al.
ready abandoned teaching and the
ranks of the profession have been
depleted to ana farming extent.
Holly Is fortunate, therefore, to
be thus assured of retaining Prof.
X. A. Shanner for the coming year,
and equally fortunate II a full facul.
ty may be assured even with the
advance in salaries, for the reason
that schools in other sections have
been crippled for teachers for the
reasons already suggested.

to follow him, ran to the scene of the
accident.
Without thought to his own safety
he slid down the steep path which the
machine had taken, worked his way
out to the wrecked car and supported
Mrs Liberty until further help ar
rived. In few minutes several men
had made the safer detour through the
bushes and over the marble scrap heap.

Education, which all members of the
board attended, in addition to the
routine business tie principal topic was
the teacher training institution. DR..
w. c. Bagley, of Columbia University,
was present and discussed for the men,
bers the many phases of the institution,
including as to character required. He
made an informal report on his conclu-
sions after survey of the State and
what he thought as to location, but the
commissioners are not yet ready to dis
cuss that report and another meeting
will shortly occur on the matter. His
report also included his advice as to the
administration of the institution and
its needs to Vermont at an early date.
