BUSINESS CONDITIONS
CONTINUE IMPROVING
Movement of Wheat Eases Money
Conditions, Says Federal Bank
Review-Department Stores Re.
port Good Business.

Kansas City, Mo. Aug. 9.-COn.
ditiOns in this district during July
were somewhat better, according to
the monthly review of the tenth
Federal Reserve Bank The money
situation was eased by heavy mar
keting of farm products, especially
the movement of wheat. Receipts
are 1882 per cent above the record
of year ago. Increase in the gov
ernment August forecast over the
July forecast of corn, barley, pota-
toes and hay also had some tend
ency to ease the money situation.
Reports from the department
stores of the district reflects a fair.
ly heavy business for July when it
is understood that sales are meas,
ured by dollars and cents rather
than in quantities of merchandise.
although reporting was 1913 per
cent below the sales in the cores
p0nding month in 1920 according to
the review.
Crude oil production continues to
maintain a high daily average in
Kansas and Wyoming.
Mining conditions in the district
seemed to be low, the coal produc,
tion averaging about 50 per cent OF
capacity, lead and zinc production
also continued below the average.
Slight improvement was shown In
metal mining at Cripple Creek. but
less activity in other camps.
Returns from eighteen cities in
this district on July building show
an expansion Of 70S per cent in the
number of permits issued and 2S.3
per cent in the estimated cost OF
construction as compared with the
record OF July. 1920, continues the
review.
Reports of purchases by packers
at the plants of six western centers
were favorable, showing that, while
there was decreased slaughter of
cattle in July as compared with
July of last year, the slaughter TO
calves, hogs and sheep was larger
than in the corresponding month
OF 1920.

HOLLY SCHOOLS NOW RANK
WITH THE BEST in THE STATE
Consolidation Of Districts Makes Holly Hub Educational
and Country One Big Community Gives Rural Pupils Advantages Of
Town School Without Leaving Homes and Attendant Expense.

(By l.. NJ. Appel. President School
Board District No g.
There is no greater evidence of
the prosperity of our community
than the growth of our schools.
When you think back three or four
years and remember that there
were some three hundred pupils
while today we have over six hnd-
red, one cannot help but see in
these figurs n substantial growth.
We have not only grown in num-
bers of pupils but in size of terri
tory and valuation as well. Our
consolidation now comprises SO
square miles and valuation of $3,-
100000. Two years ago our valuation
was $1,875,500. This increase in valu-
alton gives us unit OF sufficient
size that we can conduct a school
with every modern advantage with
out excessive taxation, besides Civ.
ing the pupil from the country as
good school as he could get in
any city in the state.
The fact that the country districts
/ have consolidated with Holly with
ou. any friction whatever land in
most cases unanimOus) shows the
broad vision of the people of our
community and the desire they have
for better schools. Let us keep
| this spirit in motion and i. will
make us the educ; tiOnal center of
eastern Colorado.
like the term Community School.
1t has br0sdcr meaning, covers
n:o:e territory and make, the pat-
ron who lives in tna most remote
part of the districs lave the same
| interest as the patron who lives In
the same block aud why not?
There is nothing in this old fogy
idea of separating the town and the
country. Just because a few more
people assemble themselves in a
small area and call themselves a
town is no reason why they should
segrcgate themselves from those
who live a little farther out. Our
interests are in common and we
should think in terms of a commun-
ity as a whole. If we do this and
all pull to the common center

WHY NOT A
SWIMMING POOL
Lake for Bathing and Boating
Could be Provided at Small Ex-
pense.

The lack of public bathing facili.
ties near Holly. has started Il
movement that with the proper fos.
tering, should provide bathing
and boating place in the summer
and fine skating pond in the win
ter for sport Lovers of this vicinity.
An ideal location. it is said. can be
secured on the Holly Golf links
where small stream fed by springs
crosses the grounds. A dam could
be placed across this stream and
n very fine lake would soon result
from the waters being impounded.
Parties who have investigated the
idea, report a suitable dam could
be constructed at very nominal
expense. Trees could be planted
and in very short time fine
pleasure resort would be available.
Think this over, Mr.. Hollyite.
