SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

The Hammer and Nails.
Not far in the distance sweet melo-
dies rise
AS fingers so deft touch the keys;
They whisper of love meath the far
away skies,
And moments of languorous ease
I envy the one who is gifted to play
The measures whose charm never
fails
In mystic aforementioned over the
Is man with a hammer and nails.
He, too. has song that resounds from
the heart.
It's rhythms are bold in their cheer.
It's a song Of the man who is doing
his part
For the home that he holds ever
dear.
Though many an artist responds 20
the call
With talents whose grace never fails.
The one with the music that's finest
of all
Is the man with the hammer and
nails.

Civic Club Nesting.

The meeting of the Civic club
Tuesday afternoon was not as well
attended as usual, as many OF the
members are still confined to their
home by influenza. However, the
regular business meeting was held
and the club voted to give $40 to
the Y. w. c. A. and $40 to the Near
East Relief. A letter from Mrs. E..
NJ. Sherman of Pasadena, Calf, was
ready, which contained besides her
good wishes, $40 toward the work
of the club this year. An editorial
in the Holly Chieftain OF Feb. 18th,
Our Rotten Movies" was read and
heartily endorsed by the club. Fol
lowing the business meeting Mrs.
Wiley X. Wright entertained the
ladies by a talk on Lincoln, giving
many intimate mad personal
glimpses of lbs life Mrs. Wrights
father Mr.. Newton Bateman was q
personal friend of Lincoln when ne
was practicing law in Springfield,
IN. at which time Mr.. Bateman
was state superintendent OF
schools. The club is indeed ior-
tunate to have been thus enter
tanned by one whose family was
so closely associated with the I'm.
mortal Lincoln. After parking OF
refreshments served by Mrs. Dun
can and Mrs. Demrary, the club
adjourned to meet again Tuesday,
March 9Th, when a large attendance
is expected.

couple of months with their daugh-
ter and sOn-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. A
A. Jacobs at Arvada, returned
home last night. They were &c
cOmpanied by another daughter,
Mrs. H. F. Flint and two
children of Meeker. where her hus-
band has been engaged in the
banking business for the past
year, but has disposed of his bank
interests there and will be here the
latter part of the week.
The Chieftain inadertantly for
got to mention the return of Mrs
J. L. GilmOur last week from Den
yer, where she had been for a
month for treatment at a hospital.
She is now well. But imagine Mrs.
GilInOur's surprise on her return
at the growth of their son Jerry
who had almost doubled in weight
during her absence and is still
growing like weed. AS a matter
of fact it would not have been diff
ficult to have traded babies before
her return, for little Jerry had
grown beyond her belief.
The missionary meeting of the
WOman's Society of the Presbyter-
ian church. met at the manse with
Mrs w. X. Wright Feb. 18th, at
2:3O p. IN. A very pleasant and
profitable afternoon was spent in
studying the advancement OF the
North American Indian; participa-
ton in national life, and religious
education; Korea and the study
book, Ancient Peoples at New
Tasks" was completed. The pro-
gram was conducted by Mrs. w. G.
Padley assisted by Mesdames

joyed by all.

ing looking after business matters.
Mr.. Niece Is thorough farmer but
says his operations have been un-
der RAINFALL and this will be his
first experience under irrigation.
He is highly pleased with his new
farm and has doubtless made q good
purchase, and at lower figure by
considerable than he would be able
to secure the same place for even
today. Mr.. Niece is also starting
out right by trying out The Chief
tain, so that he will know what is
going on in this section.
The Holly chieftain., 1920-02-26

The great lack of adequate mar
ket conditions in Holly was dis
cussed but briefly, but it was sug-
gested that another elevator which
would buy more of the maize and
other crops produced in the Holly
district was an imperative need.
1t was urged that this matter
should have the early future atten-
ton of the club, as it was pointed
out that Holly mercantile houses
were annually losing thousands of
dollars because of this unsatisfac-
tory market condition. while other
more favored towns were drawing
the trade naturally tributary to
Holly.
The matter of membership was
considered briefly and q report
showed that 40 members had al
ready renewed for the ensuing year
whereas there were as many more
who should be active members of
the club. President Woods divided
these 40 prospects up in groups of
four and asked for volunteers of
one member for each OF the four
ship and make report at the next
ulCCtlliS vi IL was ulSO
decided to invite all farmers and
dairymen of the section to become
members and to take an active
part in the work of the club.
1t was reported at the meeting
that there was a likelihood that
the county agent for Prowers
county might be dispensed with
the coming year. The opinion was
strongly expressed that such ae
tion would be detrimental to the
agricultural and dairy interests of
the county. In the course of the
discussion Supt. Shanner of the
Holly schools explained the Smith
Hughes law relative to agricul-
ture in the schools. and a motion
finally prevailed instructing the
secretary of the club to advise the
board OF county commissioners of
Prowers county that the Holly
commercial club was strongly op-
posed to action which contemplate
ed dispensing with the county
agent, and while results to date
might not be all that could be de-
sired yet the club viewed discOn-
tinuance of the service of county
farm agent as tantamOunt to retro
erosion.

Il. A. RUSSELL AMONG
OLD TuGE PoULTRERERS
Won Prizes Twenty Years Ago on
Fine Fowls at County Fair
Still Game,

H. A. Russell was in Monday
from Cheney Center to do little
trading and look after affairs gen.
orally. Among other encounters
he bumped into Chieftain man,
and when asked II he had any good
chickens remarked that he had.
Further interrogation revealed
the fact that Hugh is not new in
the poultry game. AS evidence he
cited the fact that, in reading over
his old home paper from Kansas
town, he was amused to note in the
department of the. Ill home paper
presenting items OF 20 years ago,
that Hugh Russell had taken first
premium on the exhibit of White
Cochins.
Mr.. Russell is now raising pure
blood Rhode Island Red fowls and
has promised to exhibit at the
forthcoming Dairy Day and Poul-
try Show. He expressed the belief
that number of the southside
folks would be glad to exhibit some
of their fine fowls.

MoRToR TRUCKS AND GOOD
ROADS BOTH NECESSARY
Producers and Consumers Inter.
ests Are Identical in the Matter
Of This Improvement.

Anyone who works for good
roads is working for everyone's in
terest including his own" says J. B..
Rhodes, local dealer in the Chevro-
let passenger and commercial cars.
'sThe producer and the merchant
need good roads SO they can trans
port more goods to their customers
and SO make more money.
'The consumer needs good
roads to link him surely and eff
GENTLY with his source of supply
and to afford him wider selection
of better goods for his money.
Herbert Hoover, international
food expert, said that fifty per cent
of the perishable food raised in the
United States never reaches q mar
ket.
Motor trucks are enabling more
to reach more markets with pro-
ducts in better condition. They are
making it profitable for the farmer
to raise a larger quantity and a
wider variety of perishable pro-
duce. This results in equal bene.
fit to the consumer.
But the motor truck has proved
its economic value in this respect
in spite of road conditions-not be-
cause of them.
"In the few years that automo-
biles have been perfected unit OF
transportation their benefits to
everyone have made good roads q
necessity. They have proved that
if the fullest benefits of motor cars
are to be enjoyed there must be
good roads for them to travel on.
ssThe better the roads and the
more of them, the greater the bene.
AT which more communities will
derive. Every new road. every i'm
proved road connects new markets
with new sources OF supply. And
the more closely and efficiently
supply and demand are linked to-
gether, the better it is for every
one"

General Manager T. F. Snodgrass

Mr.. w. E. Williamson. another

so one of the directors. Mr.. VIII.

before his arrival at her bedside.
The body was brought back here
Saturday and the funeral was
held Sunday afternoon from the
PRESBYTERIAN church. where q wealth
of flowers indicated the universal
esteem in which the deceased was
regarded in Holly and vicinity
The sermon was preached by the
Rev. Wiley h. Wright, after which
interment took place at the Holly
cemetery beside the last resting
place of her mother, who had pre-
ceded her to the better world by
little more than a month.
Miss McMurtry was born Nov.
Sth, 1895 at Horace, Kas., and was
Therefore Is years old. She came
with her parents to Holly when a
mere child and had grown to a
charming wOmanhOOd here. She
was a graduate of the Holly High
school and of the State Teachers
College in Greeley in 1917 where
she specialized in Kindergarten
work.
The deceased was a young lady
of an exceptionally refined nature
and sunny disposition, graceful and
charming to q degree which won
for her universal popularity. She
was especially active in the Pres
byterian church, of which she was
a member. as leader of the choir.
She was likewise highly esteemed
in social circles. And though her
three years of affection, despite
the fact that at times she suffered
much pain, her splendid character
and cheerful disposition was domi-
nant and there was scarcely ever
a complaint to visiting friends at
the home.

night.
1t is estimated the line can be
built for approximately $4,000. 1t
is interesting to note that num-
Der of farmers south and people at
StOnington have already offered to
take liberal amounts of stock in
the company. It is the purpose to
build the line as soon as the com.
pany is organized, the funds are
subscribed and the materials can
be secured for it's construction.
Secretary POntOn who was all-
thOrized at the last meeting of the
club to write the State Agricultur-
al College relative to the establish
ment of an experiment farm near
Holly, read q letter from President
Chas. A. Lory of the College to
the effect that the policy of estab.
fishing experiment stations had to
be abandoned some years ago 0w-
ing to lack of funds with which
to carry on the work. President
Lory cited one dry land expert
ment station near Cheyenne Wells
and an alfalfa breeding station at
Rocky Ford and said some expert
mental work was being carried on
near Durango. These three, how
ever, are the only stations outside
of the one at the college at Fort
Collins
President Lory advised that
these stations had proven not to
be the best means OF increasing
agricultural production, but that
better results are obtained from
the experience of farmers supple
mented by research work at the
Fort Collins station and passing
the information out through the
live wire county agents. President
Lory urged the hearty coopera-
ton of the club with the county
agricultural agent.
A general report made on be-
half of the committee who attend
ed the advertising conference of
representatives from Baca. Bent,
Kiowa and PrOwers counties held

of action was adopted at the meet
ing for the reason that most of
he delegates had apparently come

IN report to their various coun-
before taking definite action.
