New Highway Law in Effect

ColOrado's new highway law is
now In effect and provides for many
new things. The speed limit on

the speed limit in the cities. althO
the Colorado Rangers can arrest
anyone caught speeding in the cit,
limits.
\ Front and tail lights must be
burning from one hour after sunset
until the sun rises. DINNERS must
be used when passing another car.
The autoist should see that the
Licensees are on the front and rear
Of his car, because the law provides

J. j. Houston and j. lG. Wads-

with Two Buttes. This line, which
has been in course OF construction
for several months, has been beset
with the many trying financial diff
ficulties of the past few months.
Many who subscribed for stock
when the line was promoted were
unable to meet their obligations
and as a result the connection with
Two Buttes has been delayed 1t
is necessary to secure several
hundred dollars more at once
and drive will be made next
week for this purpose. More stock
should be taken by those who can
do so and those who have not as
yet done so, should buy block

this line through are deserving OF

SHOULD PAY
IN SUBSCRIPTIONS
Subscribers to Chieftain Should
Watch Labels on Wrapper.

Subscribers of the Chieftain who
live a distance from Holly, should
watch the date on the label on their
paper each week if they wish the
paper to continue to come to their
address The rule of taking the
names of subscribers from the list
20 days after their subscription has
expired. has not been closely OBJ
served in the past few months for
various reasons. Our experience
has been that when subscriber
who lives outside the trade terri
tory of Holly, does not pay up his
subscription at the first expiration
notice received, the chances are
we will lose that amount II the pap
er is continued. For this reason,
all foreign subscriptions and those
at home will be discontinued unless
remittance to statements recently
sent out, is received promptly. We
are willing to extend credit when
necessary but must know that sub
scriber wishes to receive the paper
and will pay for same.

Hint to Progressive Farmers

A neatly letteled sign ut the gate
In front Of q farm house gives 1t in.
dividuality which it cannot possess
otherwise, and neatly printed sta
tionery gives the farm business a
businesslike atmosphere which it
cannot acquire as long as the owner
insists on scratching off his bust
ness letters in a fairly illegible
hand ON a page torn from the fam
lily scratchbook. Farming is bus
mess and deserves the application
of businesslike methods. Your
name on your gate and on your
stationery shows that you are not
ashamed of your products, and the
world Is looking for q chance to
buy from the man who takes pride
in the things he produces.--Weld
