A pre- liminary announcement declares that the Soviets are willing to recognize certain rights in private property. The agitation among the peasants has be- come so strong that it is conceded that Russia cannot continue on any basis unless the ownership of the products of the soil is confirmed in the peasant pgoprietors. This point is admittedly covered in the new decree. Other things proposed to be legalized are the recognition of property rights ill

Mir. McAdoo passed thro- ugh Holbrook on train No. 3 Monday evening. We don't know whether he looked out of the window or not.
 MT. Farr, our competent Court Reporter and Dairy man has adopted a new style of railroad travelling. Last week in making a hurried trip to WinsIow he sought to ride a freight; he saw that the train would be travelling too fast for him to catch the caboose so he took the first thing that came handy. It happened to be a flat car, and the morning was bitter cold, and he had to ride to |St. Jo before he could get into the fire warmed caboose ----and we'll let MT.

TREAT FOR MUSICI
 LOVERS ON MARCH 10

A musical organization of Holbrook will give a concert on the evening of March TO- tn, and all who attend are assured a pleasant and pro- fitable evening.
 The regular order of the evenings entertainment has not yet been made up, but we are promised several treats of a specially good nature. The male quartet will have at least one song. All who have heard Messrs. Carter, T. Hathorn, F. John- son and w. Plant in any of their numbers know what this means.
 Not to be outdone by the male element, the ladies are also to have a song by four of their number. Miss Rae Thomas will delight with one of her charming vocal solos, and Mir. T. Hathorn will render a cornet solo. Mir. Plant will give a vocal solo and it is thought that there may be some aesthetic dancing. Mrs. Jordan will give an original reading, and an augmented orchestra will make the evening musical offering complete.
 The admission fee is only 25 and 50 cents and is sure ly small for such a treat.

 The Willys-Knight touring car is now listed at $1375 8 fur. ther reduction of $150 since the startling reduction of 34 per cent made last September, g total reduction of 40 per cent in a year and a half.
 These new prices were made possible by remarkable econo- mics in manueacturing methods, the consumption of high-priced material inventories, the practi cal total elimination of obljga- tions for high-priced materials, the operation of a new, more progressive and more economi. cal marketing plan, and lastly, the hearty cooperation in the plan to build more cars per-mar each day, by every employee ir the four plants the company op' crates,
