JULIUS C. HOLMES

We have a representative in the diplomatic service of the state department at Washington in the person of Julius C. Holmes, now vice consul for the United states at Smyrna, Asia Minor. He is the son of James Reuben Holmes, son of Boliver Adams, who married Louella J. Trussell. They make the family home at Lawrence where "Jim" is the head of the J. R. Holmes Investment Company. They are very patriotic, having three sons carrying commissions under the military arm of the government. Charles Boliver is a graduate of Kansas University, served as captain in the World War; Julius C. a first lieutenant; and the youngest boy James Willis is now a druggist at Lawrence and is a second lieutenant. A daughter Opal Ailene married Frank D. Scanlan. The mother of James Reuben was of the Lamb family.
