HOLLY KNOWS HOW

In another column is report of
the proceedings of the meeting of
the Fourth of July Committee, held
Tuesday evening of this week
From this program it viii be seen
that if all things work out full
days enjoyment will be provided
for everyone. TO put this program
on ii will cost around 100000 but
this will be money well invested.
It brings two to three thousand
people to Holly. for the day and
sends them home feeling well le-
paid for the trip This is fund to
which everyone can afford to give
most literally because it has been
several years since Holly put on
any kind of community celebra-
tion and the people in our trade
territory are entitled to something
of this kind occasionally. One thing
is sure the town cannot afford tohave
the people go home form this eel
ebration feeling that Holly has
not lived up to reputation as an
entertainer and If everyone does
his part there will be no trouble
in preserving the reputation of the
town in this line.

SEWING EXHIBIT

a fine display of needle work from
the sewing class OF the domestic
science department of our local
school is on display in the windows
% the Holly Dry Goods Store. The
garments made by our girls show
remarkable skill and proficiency
with the needle Much fault is be-
rg found with modern educational
fads but surely no one can have
other than words of praise for the
time and pains spent on sewing in
the schools. As matter of fact it
takes but little time from regular
studies and this is more than made
up by the added interest it gives to
school work. The purpose is not
TO create dressmakers but to foster
proficiency and economy in the pre-
sent and furture domestic lives of
our girls as home-makers.
