HOLM Lost Game

The local football team, altho
playing in excellent form were not
able to compete against the strong
Garden City team last Friday and
lost by score of 66 to 0. Garden
City has had great deal more
experience and this enabled them
to play more aggressive game
than the Holly boys. Since Holly
is not in the football league this
year the games, whether lost or won
do not matter as much as they
otherwise would.

An Airplane Fire Patrol.

An agreement has been signed by
the Forest Service of the United
States Departm mt of Agriculture and
the Red River Lumber Co., in Califor-
MIA, by which the entire fire protec-
ton of about 100000 acres of timber
land owned by the company will be un-
dertaken by the government. The
cost will be about $4,000 a year.
This means that every precaution
known to the Forest service, both for
preventing and fighting forest fire,
will be used. Airplales will patrol the
timberlands and every forest ranger
will be a fire warden.
The timberlands and every forest
ranger will be a fire warden.

"The arguments presented indicate
that even in the minds of the shippers
the result of any substantial reduc-
lion in rates is purely speculative, not
only as to increased volume of traf-
fic, but also as to the time when an
increased volume of traffic may be
expected. 1t should be universally
recognized that the carriers are in no
condition to enter the field of uncer-
tain experimentation substantially
involving their revenues, for the rea-
son that disappointment in the expert
ment would result in serious conse-
quences to the public, as well as to
the carriers themselves by impairing
their ability to continue to furnish the
needed transportation to the CONNER
cial public.
at must not be overlooked that the
carriers have realized that the per
centage increases in rates produced
inequalities and in many instances
threw rates out of line, and to correct
these conditions they have been and
are, diligently adjusting such situa'
tions.
"There are doubtless instances and
local and special conditions in re-
spect to the movement of commodi-
ties necessary for road building, and
also other traffic, which should be
considered as emergencies, and the
carriers wish to emphasize the fact
that arrangements have been made
to treat such cases as expediitiously
as the circumstances will permit upon
application of shippers to the traffic
managers of the interested railroads"
