But Kansas Girl Baske-
teers Won Here.
FRIDAY NIGHTS conrIs1
FASTEST YET PLAYED HERE
sunhowsr Stats Boys Heavier Than
Locals but Were outelasssd in
Team Play, Accurate Passing and
Head Work-Attsndsncs Large. 4

In one of the latest basket ball
games ever played on the local
floor the Holly High school basket
ball team defeated the fast team
from Deerfield, Kas., by the score
of 40 to Is last Friday night. The
local team was doubtless out for
revenge due to the defeat handed
the Holly girls by the Deertield
girls. The score of this game was
IL to 10. AS this was the first game
for the girls the showing was con
sidered good and they promise a
comeback in the game to be play
I'd with Las Animas on the local
floor Friday night.
The boys game opened with a
burst of speed and from the time
Hill Gagged the first goal until the
timers whistle closed the game
there was not an idle moment for
the supporters of the blue and
gold. The visitors were heavier
than the local lads but condition
and speed are the valuable assets
of basket ball player and the To-
cal lads seemed possessed of both.
Good team play, accurate passing
and good head work soon put Holly
in the lead which they held
throughout the game.
On Friday night the Las Animas
boys and girls come for the local
league opening game. The league
games are always fast and a good
game is assured. AS the visitors
will come with both boys and girls
teams d recor., crowd Is expected.
The crowd Friday night was the
/, largest that ever witnessed a bas-
ket ball game in Holly. The high
school teams certainly deserve this
splendid support from the public.

COL HARRIS TELLS HOLLY
CLUB "A FEW THINGS"
Former Dollar-AYear 0ovsrnmsnt
Man AddI sssss Meeting on
PubIicity and Promotion.

Col. l.. H. Harris of Philadelphis
who is selling bank advertising
publicity in Colorado and who
cbanced to be in town Tuesday
night was invited to addEe6s .
meeting of the Holly CoMSiiercial
Club on. advertising. Col Harris,
claims during the war to have been
one Of the United States govern
ment's dOllara-year men, being
Identified with the ordnance and
other departments, and in the
course OF this patriotic service dur.
ing the war was in Europe where
he saw many of the narrowing
sights OF the conflict and the want
ana poverty which it entailed In
the various stricken countries.
Col. Harris Is fluent talker and
keen observer, and he addressed
the club In general way upon the
Importance and value OF newsp8p.
eradvertising. Col. Harris had no
set speech, but talked "Off the reel"
in accordance with his casual OBJ
servations since reaching Holly in
the morning. There was a whole
s0meness and earnestness in the
colonels address by reason of the
fact he had no ak to grind, moth
ing to sell US, and did not talk for
applause, but to benefit the club
in it's work by telling us of a few
of our sins Of omission as well as
of our great possibilities, and pre-
faced his remarks by saying he be-
lieved in stroking the cat both
ways of the fur"
For instance the colonel started
with the admonition that while
Holly had a municipal electric light
plant and 24-hour service the
town allowed the good Lord to light
up the town by the moon. This
was getting close to home for Holly
has been dark all too often the
past winter when the conservation
of coal was not involved. This is a
point which should be well taken
and remedy urged.
Another rather more or less mer.
tied jolt given Holly by the colonel
was that in consideration of our
wonderful natural resources+land,
water, climate, fertile SOLVE were
asleep as community in that we
were making no prcceptible effort
to develop these non-productive
elements or to let the balance of
the country know about them. He
said some Holly people ought to be
squirted full of ginger. He urged
a publicity campaign to apprise
the easterner who is looking for
farm lands and opportunities to
develop the country, know about
our territory--its fertility, it's vast
ness, it's wonderful possibilities for
legitimate exploitation He also
suggested opportunities here for a
mixed alfalfa meal feed plant and
a sugar factory in Holly and point
edly asked what we were doing to
get them.
Col Harris address was heartily
received in the spirit in which it
was given even though some of us
through native pride do not relish
being told of our faults. If. how
ever. his terse remarks are needed
by the club during the coming year
their fruition will be worth while.
