The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1914-05-21

The etching herewith gives a very
good outline of the King road drag
ready for business. MIR. King says:
DO not make great, heavy drag
that is hard to pull and difficult to
manipulate. Make it seven to eight
feet long and light enough to lift,
with steel cutting surface only on
the lower end. BY hauling the drag
at an angle of fOrty-tiye degrees the
dirt is pushed toward the middle of
the road giving the highway crown
Drag the road when moist enough to
pack but not so sticky that the dirt
will cling to the drag. Every farmer
should have his own drag and work
on the road as far as his neighbor's
gate. Then the neighbor's wife will
soon have her husband improving the
road to the next gate. On roads pro-
perly dragged the dust is reduced from
eighty to ninety percent and the sur
face is always dry. After each rain
drive up one side of the wheel track
and back on the other side at least
once, with the drag in position to
throw the earth to the middle. Ride
on the drag and haul at an angle of
forty-five degrees Gradually widen
the strip drag as the road improves.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1914-05-21

To round up the road better, plow a
shallow iurrow occasionally on each
side Of the dragged strip and work
the loose dirt to the center" There
is no patent on this contrivance and
everybody can make it.
We saw this drag in operation on
the streets in Ft. Lupton a short time
ago when the streets were sloppy, the
mud was like thin mortar, the rain
had not ceased over an hour and
within thirty minutes after the drag
had gone over the road an automobile
was running over the road on high.
The Town and County have been
slack about dragging the roads after
our recent rains and unless they
are dragged the good work of grad
ing that has been done will soon be
money and labor lost.
Strenuous work is being done to
get the automobile traffic through
Julesburg this summer and If we get
this travel our roads must be kept up.
Lets not 80 to sleep. lets not let the
good work done go to waste.
Mr.. King claims that with the pro-
per use of this drag good road can
be made and kept good even without
any previous grading.

Another Good Rain

On last Sunday night the County
was visited with another fine rain of
AS of an inch. This came at very op-
perfume time. not that there was not
enough moisture in the ground for
present needs, but in places the ground
was baking on account of the rains
couple of weeks ago and this will put
everything in an excellent growing
condition.
Later-On Monday night there was
another rain of 80 Of an inch in Jules
burg and farther west in the county
a considerable more than an inch fell.

Red Fox James I'm Julesburx

Red Fox James Blood Indian trav-
cling on horseback from the Crow In
dian Reservation in Montana to WASH
ington carrying message from the
Governor of Montana and other Gov
ernors from the states through which
he passes on his trip arrived In Jules
burg on Thursday noon. He had plan
ned on arriving here earlier in the
week but on account of the rains and
other unavoidable delays did not ar
rive here till Thursday noon. On ac-
count of the graduating exercises at
the High School he did not make bis
talk till Friday night at the Hipp Thea
tire where he also exhibited slides
showing the Agency, points of interest
along his trip and views advertising
the Lincoln Highway over which road
he is making his trip
At Washington he will urge Con-
gress and President Wilson to name
a National Holiday to be known as
Indian Day to be observed some time
in October as he expressed it at the
Theatre, during Indian Summer.
Mr. James is a refined, educated
Indian and in addition to asking for an
Indian Day he will use his influence
toward having Y. NJ. C. A. of which
he is an active member established
on the Indian Reservations in the
West
He is an enthuiast for the Lincoln
Highway and is doing much to in
crease enthusiasm along this proposed
Highway over which he is travelling
He is riding small Pinto Indian
pony, one he caught off the range the
morning he left the reservation a
month ago and expects to make the
entire trip with the same pony, some
thing that has never yet been accom-
plished. He plans on making about
25 miles per day.
In addition to his many other ac-
complishments he is an expert with
the pen doing some exceptionally fine
work on linen.
Red Fox was in Julesburg over Sat-
urday in order to get some business
matters Strengthened up which re-
quired the use of the Long Distance
telephone to Cheyenne and rode down
to Big Springs Sunday afternoon and
spoke at the evening church services
there Sunday evening, proceeding
eastward Monday morning.
The following was the close of his
talk at the Hipp Friday night and full
ly expresses the sentiment of the man
who is making this trip in behalf of
Better Roads, Better Living and his
race
Let the pipe of peace be smoked,
Between the red man and the white
man;
Let your flag be our flag,
And float over the Western Hills,
Let this flag of the Red, White and
Blue,
Ever wave DER this, your adopted
land,
And my land,
Let your hearts and our hearts
Secure protection within its folds.

preciate the beauty of the program
or have them realize the work and pa

The Invitation was a beautiful song
sang by the entire membership of the
five grades.
The Raining Daisies and Parasols
was delightful song and march sang
and acted by eight dainty little girls
with bright colored parasols and eight
little boys with umbrellas.
The Sailor Boys were represented
by six boys dressed in sailor cos

The Hoop Drill was performed by
twelve little girls who not only per
formed the drill with accuracy but
in such manner to elict much ap-
plause.

ter Lloyd Harrison accompanied in
the chorus by seven little boys.
The Flag Drill by eighteen boys
and eighteen girls perfectly executed
closed the afternoons entertainment.
The grades of the various children
during the year has shown conscien-
tious work of this efficient corps of
teachers and the entertainment show
ed that the youngsters had been taught
many things not found in books but
things that go to broaden and de-
velope the young mind.

TERMS:
FOR DEFENCE ONLY

Army men are insisting that this
country is unprepared for war Those
who know anything about it agree with
them.
Army men are anxious to create a
large standing army. That is where
few agree with them. The country at
large understands fairly well that this
country Is not prepared to engage in
la war like that devastating Europe.
And it doesn't intend to engage in war
or to muster a big army. The idea is
to avoid war.
The thing that would most assist
renewal of four years of power would
be to meet a candidate of party urg-
ing large increases of the standing
army. For the American people are
convinced that the militarism of
Europe IS as much responsible for the
murder mill that is grinding its bloody
grist across the seas as the practice
Of pistol toting is for most of the
murders that develop in private bra~!s
between individuals.
If a canvass OF the country could be
made it would be found that very
decided objection to large increase Of
the army exists, that reversey the
proposition Of Strengthening the navy
for defensive purposes would be gen
orally approved. that the general senti-
ment is favorable to reasonable forth
dcation of coast points and the en-
listment of sufficient men to man thein.
But it goes no farther, \ military party
with the purpose to put and keep the
United States in immediate lighting
trim would be swamped and showed
under and utterly repudiated.
The general sentiment of he country
to paraphase a historical saying is
millions for defense but not cent for
militarism or aggression

THAT TEMPERANCE VOTE IN the HOUSE

Nothing so certainly exempies the
growth of temperance sentiment as the
vote in the house on the Hobson
amendment. Nobody expected it to
carry 1t was by way of first attack,
feeling out, an attempt to sink a
Merrimac of prohibition in the path of
the warships Of the liquor interests.
The resultant vote was astonishing.
Congressman in droves and focks
voted for the temperance resolution.
Most congressman keep IN eagle eye
on the home district. The vote signifies
pretty well what they saw there.
Twenty years ago the resolution
couldn't have mustered a corporaps
guard in the national house. Since
then every congressional district in the
country has developed a temperance
ivote that by its numbers and power
and purpose commands the most re-
spectful consideration OF congressman
and those who would be congressman
Tor remain congressman. Once there
was a scattering temperance sentiment
here and there. Now there is q yer,
definite Temperance purpose. There ar,

CITIZENS OF NO mEAN CITY.

The finest this side of Grant Park
in Chicago" That is what the travelling
men said of the decorations of the
Marshalltown Christmas festival. The
common remark of the average visitor
was Never saw anything to equal it
in any town."
Did it pay? Commercially considered
it probably broke even in the trade 1t
attracted. There is no doubt that it
paid if to be distinctive pays. The high
class of the festival distinguished the
town as one that does things well. The
only comparison made by visitors was
iplishment with that of a leading
worlds metropolis.
The festival and the holiday dress
OF the city was an expression Of the
spirit of Marshalltown. of the unity
and fellowship of the varied interests
Of the town. 1t was an evidence of
was simply another demonstration of
the progress and fellowship and public
liberality that raised in a weeks time
800 900 for Y VI. c.. A building that
is unequalled in any city of similar
size, that went out the day after the
Y. NJ. c. A. fund had been pledged and
new hospital. The same fine spirit
made itself manifest in the personal
work and contributions .ha. made it
possible to care well for every suffering
! family and neglected child in Mar
! shalltown Christmas.
Summed up the Christ mas festival
and it's distinctive merit and beauty
was one of the many expressions of
the purpose and spirit of the men and
women of Marshalltown to make theirs
the best town to live in. If Marshall
town has q motto 1t is Make Mar
shailtown the best city 70 live in
keenly commercial, successful in trade
with factories that sell their products
! to the uttermost ends of the earth this
town has learned of late me greater
lesson of public welfare and the
strength Of unity. The city has found
itself 1t is community with COM
munty spirit and purpose. And there
is no end to which this spirit and
purpose may not carry it.
Like Paul. the Marshalltown citizen
may be properly proud that he is "a
citizen Of no mean city,
