HOLLY WINS FROM LAMAR

| The girls met their defeat again
Friday night when they ionrneyed
to Lamar to meet the Lamar
Squaws. The game was chaIacteriz-
ed by hard playing on Holly to get
by the Lamar players. who out
classed our girls not only in weight
but also in height. TO get by them
was like trying to get by living
mountain. They were always whore
they were not wanted The first
basket OF the game was made by
Lamar The end of the half was
only too welcome by the Holly
fans, for it stopped the rolling up
of the score by the Squaws The
score was l6 to ! in Lamar's favor.
Hollys only field goal during the
game was made in the last quarter
by Marie Pugh The game ended
favor.
When the Holly boys came on the
floor, Lamar lost part of their high
spirits. for the game started out
with Holly in the lead, and re-
NAMED in that position all through
the game. The end Of the first
quarter showed score of five to
fourteen in Holly's favor. The score
at the end of the half was seven
to twenty in Holly's favor and at
the end of thethird quarter our
boys were leading with score of
12 to %. During the last quarter
two substitutions were made in the
Holly line up. John Howell went
in for Shelter for foreward and
Monty Beamon took Planks place
as guard. When the referee, Beb-
enmyer of Las Animas blew the
whistle with the time keepers
whistle the score was IA to 81 in
Holly's favor Some very good
playing was done by all of the Hol-
ly players. which shows that they
are steadily on the improvement

LEAGUE OF HOME BUYERS

In one of our ads lastWeek the
adyertisert declares that $500 per
month is sent out OF the town to
pay for the article that he sells
1t sets lis thinking of the immense
amount OF money that leaves Holly
every Wweek which could be spent
in the city. Every business in town
is hit by it. The amount that
leaves the community. should be
spent, here. amounts to thousands
of dollars very week If this were
spent simply by the country folks
we might simply declare that they
have not the interest of Holly at
heart. but many of the business
men and heir families send money
outside for goods and service that
can be procured right here in Holly
They object to others buying goods
abaord of such goods as are in their
line but think nothing of violating
their obligations to others. Thou
sands of dollars for clothing, shoes
groceries, auto parts, laundry, fur
nitme. hardware, printing. drug
supplies leaves the community every
week never to return, to enrichen
other communities and empoverish
us If the money going to Monkey
Worm & Co, and Silly-Robust Co.
and mny other firms could be held
in Holly our prosperity as com
Nunity would be assured. Even If
the price was not as low nor the
quality as good, which is not us
ualiy the case, yet it would all
come back in increased business
for every merchant and business
man. AS long as each slyly looks
out for his own interests. as he
vainly imagines, all the Others are
doing the same and the outside
firms chuckle as the Holly dollars
roll in. What fools we mortals be.
We suggest that a League of
home buyers be formed agreeing
to buy exclusively in Holly except
when goods and service cannot be
obtained here. Put me down for
the first chartermember.
