and urged the consideration of route
through that locality across the range
as the course for the transcontinental
highway from Julesburg west. The
speakers left no doubts in the minds
of those present but what their road
up the Cache la Pudre Valley would he
built. Their argument was that if an
excellent road, such as they proposed,
was built, the travel would come that
way. This is most excellent reasoning
and should be taken to heart by the
people of Sedgwick County. The
campaign for the national road through
our County will amount to little unless
our roads will stand the inspection of
the national committee, especially
should our people get busy on the road
from Big Springs to Julesburg and
from Julesburg to Chappell, if Jules
is not to be left to one side when the
great road goes through.

Good Roads Association
Meeting.

The meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Platte Valley Transcontin-
entail Good Roads Association, held at
the club of the Business Mems
Association Tuesday afternoon was
we'll attended by local business men
and all in attendance could not help but
be impressed with the fact that the
great highway from coast to coast is
coming nearer and nearer to reality
Letters were read from Iowa, Illinois,
Ohio and other states calling for the
formation of an organization which
should include representatives from all
states along the line from New York
to San Francisco and which should
have for its object the location of the
transcontinental route along what is
known through this section as the
Overland Trail or Platte Valley Route.
The delegates from commercial
bodies and good roads organization all
along the line from New York to San
Francisco are to be called to meet at
Fremont. Nebr., May 22nd for the pur-
pose of perfecting such national or
ganization.
DIR. A. P. Overguard of Fremont,
Nebraska, President of the Nebraska

F. Bailey, Secretary of the Kearney
Commercial Club, DR.. H. E. GaltfeIter
Vice President of the Platte Valley
Transcontinental Good Roads Associa-
ton, B. F. Flowers and DR.. Gooding
of Fort Collins took leading parts in
the discussions.
A resolution adopted inviting the
Omaha Commercial Club to come this
way on its proposed auto trip to Den
yer, as was also resolution inviting
the Automobile Manufacturing Associa-
ton to use the Platte Valley Route on
its trip to the coast Another resolu-
ton asking consideration of this route
as the line for the Ocean to Ocean
Highway will be sent to the Ocean to
Ocean Highway Association.
The Importance to Julesburg and
Sedgwick County of the movement to
secure the great highway for the
Platte Valley is apparent to all
interested, Our Commercial Club
should surely do its part and party Of
eyperts is to start bout July lst to
investigate the different proposed
routes, one thing that surely should be
done by our local organization is to
see that the parts OF the route in this
locality are placcd>in the best'possible
shape before that time.

Congregational Church Con-
vention

We have before US copy of the
Program, which we are publishing this
week, of the Convention of the Denver
Association of Congregational Churches
to be held in Julesburg, May 9Th, 7th
and Sth. This program indicates that
practically every moment OF the time
is to be occupied during these three
days, commencing with the organiza-
ton of the Convention at 2:45 P. M.
on Tuesday and closing with an Auto
Ride over the City and surrounding
country on Thursday Afternoon.
This is the the third time this spring
the people of Julesburg have had an
opportunity to welcome visitors to
their city and entertain them. These
gatherings cannot help but be, in add
ition to being value to those who
attend a strong advertising feat ire for
Julesburg and vicinity. Every day. we
have people come to Juesburg for the
first visit VINO are surprised at what
we have in and surrounding the town

alists of the State will more than ever

Roads, United States Depart

To Be Released Immediately.

A gold medal to the school boy or
girl between the ages of 10 and Is who
writes the best composition, not to ex-
coed 800 words, on the repair and
maintenance of earth roads, is to be
awarded by Logan Waller Page, Dir
ector, Office of Public Roads United
States Department of Agriculture,
Washington D. C. All compositions
must be submitted to Mr.. Page before
May Is, 1913, and the medal will be
awarded as soon thereafter as the COM
positions can be graded. The compost
tion may be based on knowledge gain
ed from books or other sources, but
no quotations should be made.
After many years experience in
dealing with the public road situation
of the country, it is Mr.. Pages belief
that igroance on the subject of repair
and maintenance of roads is as much
the cause of their bad condition as any
other one factor. 1t is expected that
the competition will bring about
better understanding of the subject of
repair and maintenance in the rural
districts.
Many children living in the rural dis
tricts have experienced the disadvan-
ages of roads made impossible through
lack of proper maintenance and it is
expected that their interest in the
competition will stimulate greater in
terest among the parents. Bad roads
have prevented many children from OBJ
tanning proper education and have
even prevented doctors from reaching
the side of rural patients in time to
save their lives.
Any child between the ages mention
ed, attending country school, may
compete. Only one side of the paper
must be written on; each page should
be numbered; the name age and address
of the writer, and the name and loca-
tion of the school which he or she is
attending must be plainly written at
the top OF the first page. The announce
ment of the competitor has been sent
to the superinteELents of schools in the
rural districts. No further information
can be obtained from the Office of
Public Roads. This announcement
should be plain to everyone, and all
children will thus start on q basis of
equality.

Use of Profanity on Stage

Richmond has been very fortunate this sum-
mer in having the Sayles stock players to enter
tain it regularly. The acting has been very good
far above the kind of ability offered by most
stock companies that have played here in past
seasons. A particularly good attraction is being
staged this week-Alas Jimmy Valentine. It's
a splendid play and every actor rises to the oc-
casions afforded for showing real histrionic
ability.
And yet one comes away from this play with
a feeling of disappointment. The author, evil
dently for the sake of realism, has made some of
his characters indulge very freely in profanity.
Realism is all right. 1t is necessary if play
succeeds. Yet we believe profanity is one form
of realism that were better left out of play
Now the editor who writes this is not overly

squeemish devotee of such pink tea express
sons as "Oh, Gracious" or "Piffle"
But with public performances, especially of
plays with good moral as that contained in
Alias Jimmy Valentine, and so we'll conveyed to
the audience through very good acting, it does
wrong to allow discordance through too
free use of profane ejaculations
May not hope that the Sayles players will
avail themselves of the editors blue pencil where
playwrights seek too much realism through a
liberal use of profanity?

sented at the Murray this week by the
Francis Sayles' Players. There is no
doubt but what each member of this
popular company are seen at their
best. Mr.. Sayles in the title role has
the best part that he has played since
the engagement opened in Richmond
and by his excellent work is making
many new friends.
1t was thought by many of the thea
tre goers of this city that the Sayles
Players had reached their limit when
they produced The Deep Purple, -
however Alias Jimmy Valentine" is
proving to be a much better play, and
