 ''No pothouse politician wrote it, my dear was informed that your views would be required, and I put that in myself. You must stand well with the laborer or you will be defeated"
 Then came demands for more funds. MT. Thomas refused. but one days bat tie with his wife was sufficient, and he gave another check and another and another till most of his capital was in vested in his candidacy for an office he didn't want. But the crowning agony was the abuse heaped upon him by the opposition. When he read the follow ing he fainted dead away
 There is man just now prominent be- fore the public who 1t is rumored. if he had his just deserts would be behind bars rather than soliciting the votes of his countrymen.

A CHANCE FOR A CREAM STATION

Mr.. S. E. Stevenson, president Of
the Greater Julesburg Club, made a
trip to Denver the first of the week in
the interest of that organization
While in that city he called on the
manage" of the Windsor Farm Dairy
Company, the largest firm handling
sweet cream in Denver. The manager
went over the conditions at Julesburg
with Mr.. Stevenson and promised that
when sufficient sweet cream could
be delivered here at Julesburg they
would place a man here to take charge
of station. The company's books
show for the past three years they
have paid the farmers IS cents per
pound for butter fat
Here is a chance to do something
that will help. The old COW is sure
source of steady income, and the val
ley farmer will be beuefitted, and the
table land farmer can feel certain of
an income that is not materially affect
ed by too much OF too little rain, hot
winds or cold waves, hail or snow, the
old COW when given humane care and
a little rough feed will always come
through with the goods.

FLAG DAY OBSERVED,

Flag Day was very appropriately
observed in Julesburg. The exercises
were under the L. o. T. NJ. aided by
the school children and public-spirit-
ed citizens. Those participating in
the exercises assembled at the court
house at ! 80 O'Clock Saturday even
ing and marched to the park which
was brightly illuminated by electric
lights The Julesburg Band led the
march, followed by the Color Bear
ers, the Goddess of Liberty, and the
children, over sixty in number, all
carrying flags. A large crowd had
gathered in the park, all intent upon
lending their aid toward fitly cele-
brating the anniversary of the day
on which the stars and stripes were
adopted as the flag of our country.
To the strains of beautiful music by
the band the children, carrying flags
representing the different states, exc
cuted a very pretty drill, and childish
voices gave expression to words OF
love and admiration az they saluted
our beloved banner.
The drill was conducted by Mrs.
Frank E. Fischer, ably assisted by
Ladies Sheaffer and Owens, while
Ladies Erickson and Stevenson acted
as color bearers; Miss Lydia Freder-
ick represented the Goddess of Liber-
ty, and Misses Olive Pound and Mag.
gle Erickson acted as leaders of the
drill which was composed of large
number of the children of the city.
The day was perfect and the evening
fine and we'll spent. The grown peo.
pie renewed their devotion, while the
children learned lessons OF patriotism
from which the country will derive
lasting benefits in the growth Of a
sentiment that will live as long as
time shall last. Let each recurring
year see Flag Day observed in a like
fitting manner.

chip fires is an age of the past,
and the "old timer" must move
over a little on the bench of pro-
gress and make room for the
youth and vigor and strength we
sorely need and must have. If
there was a sugar beet growing
at the root of every suntiower in
the district, Julesburg and Ovid
would both support a factory.
Sedgwick might not need one
they are farming in The west end.
1t, by some trick Of nature, the
rag '7eed would produce potatoes,
the Lodge Pole valley would flow
with wealth this fall. But all
this comes from there being too
many acres of rich, productive
land, and too few people to do the
work. People create wealth, and
to bring the valley up to its pro-
ductive capacity, as speedily as
possible, certainly is the desire
of everyone of us, and how best
to bring this about Is the vital
and only question.
There is no danger of Ovid get
ting a sugar factory now. Future
+ work and future conditions are
apt to settle all such matters.
Julesburg must be the ce ter
the hub from which all this eff
Tort and energy must generate.
In doing this the town will gath
err the force and the strength
and the power that will bring
success.
The good roads movement
seems to have taken root in Lo-
gan county. According to the
Democrat, Sterling business
men, among whom are owners of
automobil s, have organized a
good roads committee. Those
Interested have agreed to contri-
butte sixty dollars monthly to the
cause, and knowing that it was
to the interest of the county
commissioners. to have better
roads, the committee appeared
before the board at their last
weeks session and made their
plans known to these gentlemen,
asking for their aid. After due
consideration the commissioners
voted an allowance of forty dol
lars month promoting the cause.
With this the com mittee will
have aoout 500 per month, which
they think will be ample means
