The Chieftain Set at Lamar

Owing to the fact that it has been
absolutely impossible to secure a lin
otype operator at The Chieftain Of
flee the management of the paper has
been compelled to have the type for
this issue set at Lamar. Through the
good offices of The Daily News it
has been possible to issue The Chief
tain two days late this week. Owing
to the inconvenience it has also been
necessary to leave out much interest
ing news. The skilled labor market
was never in more demoralized and
chaotic condition than it is today. In
the Chietftain's case it has not been
a matter of wages but it has been i'm
possible to get an operator at any
price. One party who got on the
ground turned down $45 per week
and whined that the printers could
not make living at this figure and
refused to work. 1t is difficult at
this time to tell when we may secure
a linotype operator, though every eff
fort is being made to get some one
who will work.

BASE BAIL BLOOMED
IN HOLLY LAST SUNDAY
Omen Game of the Season With Tow
ner Nine Results 13 to 2
g. For Holly

Manager Sam Smith finally trium-
phed last Sunday afternoon against
the elements in formally opening the
baseball season after three consecu-
tive Sunday efforts when the weather
was prohibitive.
The Towner nine came down from
the north and while the boys put up
pretty good speed for the opening Of
the season they lost the game to
Holly by score of 13 to 2. The
Holly boys lined up in good shape for
raw recruits and Manager Smith is
encouraged to believe that he is go
ing to have a good nine.
The day was ideal and the attend
ance on the golf links was large. In
fact there we're 72 automobiles by
actual count on the links during the
afternoon.
A definite schedule of games for
the future has not been arranged yet
but Sam hopes to have real cam
paign mapped out within the next ten
days. A return game with Towner
Is expected soon.

Turns Down s45 Per Week

Miss Emma Sewer who has been
operating the linotype machine at
the Chieftain office for the past sew
eral months, left Friday night for La
Junta where she has similar situa-
tion on the La Junta Democrat. This
leaves The Chieftain without an op-
orator. A young man who arrived
Friday from Hutchinson, Kansas, to
take her place refused to work after
he got here, even at SAL per week.
This will give our readers some idea
as to condition of the skilled labor
market and how much fun there is
in operating even small newspaper
in these times. AS result of this
difficulty The Chieftain this week is
compelled to get out the best way
possible with what composition it is
able to secure from the printing
houses in Lamar and Garden City.

MONTHLY BAND CONCERTS
BEING TALKED OF HERE
Band to Be Organized From Hartman,
Bristol, Syracuse and Holly
Play in Each Place.

With the approach of warm weather
the music bug, like the baseball bug,
is also manifesting itself in and about
Holly. A number of the old guard
band men in Holly have been talking
to those of the neighboring towns
with the result that there is now a
plan to get those in Hartman, Bristol
and Syracuse to join with Holly in
the organization of band of about
25 pieces.
There would be four towns thus
covered with Holly as sort Of head
quarters because of it's central loca
ton. The idea is to give free
monthly concert in each Of the four
towns. playing in one town one night
in each week.
G. w. Whitcomb. of Holly, is en-
deavoring to interest the band folks
of the other towns in the enterprise
with the hope that monthly band
concerts may be a summer feature in
the four towns. Mr.. Whitcomb says
there are enough band players to
make up good organization if they
can be gotten together.
