Plattenburg is Coming

Charles f. Plattenburg does not at
tempt to diagnose the trouble in your
town directly. He can and will tell
you about other towns whose prob
lens have been more complex than
yours. He will describe the methods
which were used to bring these towns
outstanding to efficiency. Town pro.
gress is in ratio with individual in
terest, civic pride and willingness to
sink personal ends for community
welfare. Plattenburg has fire. His
statements are driven home with
great force and rapidity and are
couched in such language that they
stick in the tart but delightful humor
leaves no sting.

To Just what does America owe her
Ire-eminence? Raymond v. Tolbert
has the answer. In giving it he
reaches great height both as a
Ilogician and an orator. In the great
flood of speeches which accompanied
and followed the war, a speech like
Tolbert's gains instant attention. His
broad experience, wide acquaintance
and extensive travel has given him
remarkable ability to- properly value
and classify events and resultant con-
ditions. Tolbert has been a worker
with his hands. His acquaintanceship
numbers many of the country's great
men. His vision is big, his judgments
unbiased and his sympathy deep.

Sunday and Monday.
HOLLY TEAM TO HANG UP
GOOD PURSE FOR WINNER
Local BAH Association to Have
Celebration in Charge - Plan
to GIVE Big Dance Monday
Afternoon and Evening.

At a meeting of the Commercial
Club Monday night a celebration Of
the Fourth of July was informally
discussed, and tentative plan was ar
rived at by which the Holly Baseball
Association will be made sponsor for
this years celebration, and in view
of the fact that the Fourth comes on
Sunday it seemed to be the concen-
sus of opinion that 2day baseball
tournament would be about the pro-
per thing, with a hig dance Monday
afternoon and evening.
L. M. Appel, Sam Smith and Bert
Overfield were appointed committee
to ascertain whether ball teams could
be interested in competing for a
good cash purse and If the balance
of the merchants of the town were
for the celebration. This committee
had not finished its canvass last
night definitely, but they were far
enough along to make it seem prob
able that the local baseball associa-
tion will put the tournament on the
Fourth over.
Fuller details will be published
next week. 1t is hoped to have about
four ball team take part in the
tournament and offer a purse that
will be worth while. A band will
also be secured and program of
minor sports for the kiddies arrang-
ed If preesnt plans go through.

Brunk's Commedians Good

Brunk's Comedians, one of seven
shows now on the road under Mr..
Brunk's ownership, has played here
all this week under canvas. Owing
to the fact that Holly has been so
repeatedly and SO thoroughly stung
by travelling troups, the business ac-
corded Mr.. Brunk and his splendid
company has been poor. This is to
be regretted since 1t is the best bal
anced and most meriterious show
company that has visited Holly for
years. Brunk's Is a clean company
of the higher class and merit pub
lie patronage and confidence.

PLENTY OF GRASSHOPPER
POISON NOW READY
Holly Pest District Will Be Supplied
From Holly Sugar Company
Warehouse Here.

The grasshopper season is again
on, and while no serious damage has
thus far been reported there are lots
of young hoppers coming up" In
anticipation of the damage that is
bound to result to crops if the pest is
not combatted, the Holly Pest District
has organized for the fight early this
year and good quantity of poison
is now ready to put on.
The Holly district Is bounded on
the north by the Amity canal, on the
east by the state line, on the south by
the Buffalo ditch and on the west by
the Big Sandy.
F. o. Harris has been made Gus
todian of the poison, large amount
of which is now on hand at the Holly
Sugar Companys warehouse in
Holly from where the entire east end
of the district will be supplied.
Farmers in the district may call
for the poison and they may pay
for it in cash at the rate of IS per
hundred pounds or they may have it
assessed against their property and
pay 1t the same as any other tax
This Is the actual cost of the prepar-
alton. No one is allowed profit for
One hundred pounds of the Toison
is generally sufficient for one ap
plication on 160 acres. 1t is desirable
to make three applications week
for effective eradication of the hop
pers.
The poison may be secured from
the Holly Sugar Co warehouse here
from 6 a. m. to IL noon, and from
1 p. m. to p. m. every day In the
week except Sunday.

LAKIN LAST SUNDAY
Game Resulted in II to Score
Local Team Played Good Ball
Throughout

Manager Sam Smith took the Holly
baseball team down to Lakin last
Sunday for a game with the Lakfn
team. 1t was a good game through
out, but the Holly puncn seemed to
be the stronger of the two aggrega-
tions and the locals came home vic
tors by score of II to 4.
The Holly nine will play Lamar at
the county capital next Sunday and
an extraordinary game is anticipated
since both teams have been playing
with better than ordinary success of
late.
Lakin will play return game here
at Holly June goth when Lakin has
promised to have a greatly strength

POSTMASTER ADKINS Is
PREPAYMENT AZ UMPIRE
Attendance Cut by Heavy Wind
Legends Displayed At Holly
Pharmacy Before Game Clever
and Excite Much Alerrtment.

The one great baseball event of the
season in Holly, thus far, was the
contest yesterday afternoon between
a picked nine from among the mer-
chants OF the town under the title Of
The Has Beens" and the regular
nine, known as the "Izzers." when
the most of the stores closed and
baseball fandom turned out.
Tho game resulted in a score of
to in favor of ''Izzers." and is
generally conceded to be the best
game played on the local diamond
this season. The popular anticipa.
ton that it would be burlesQue af-
st. Luke's hospital at Denver the
fair was early disppelled, for every
man on both teams played ball.
Postmaster j. T. Adkins acted as
umpire and despite all the advance
rumors of his favoritism he gave to
"Izzers" square deal.
The attendance was greatly mar
red by high wind which came up
shortly after the game started. How
ever, the stores closed at o'clock
and most of the townspeOple were
out to enjoy the game.
1t is a matter of regret that The
Chfeftain has to be get in Lamar and
that an amplified report of this game
cannot be given owing to the time
necessary In which to get the type
back and the paper printed.

CLOVER SHORT;
LOOKS SERIOUS
American Farmers Refusal to
Raise Crop Threatens Ma
tons Corn Production.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-De-
cline in clover culture by American
farmers seem to have gone so far as
to threaten TO be serious and for the
good Of the nations corn and wheat
crops II IS time to get the land back
into clover. the department of agri-
culture advises. Productiveness Of
land under corn and wheat de
creases most rapidly. Rotation of
crops is earnestly advocated by eX
perts who say the most important is
corn wheat clover, with oats in
place OF wheat where corn occupies
the land too long to permit seeding
wheat in time.
Experiments show that in con-
tinuous culture for 20 years. the
yield Of wheat fell from 9.24 bushels
as an average for the first ten years
TO 5.79 bushels for the second 10
years. while in a three year corn
wheat-cloVer rotation the yield Of
wheat rose from 9.92 bushels in the
first 10 years TO 1913 bushels in the
second decade.
