Probably DR.. Robert f. Jones
of Fort Morgan will be Mr..
Undertakes opponent on the
democratic ticket.
1t is not expected that Mr..
Jones will be very formible op-
ponent as Mr.. Undertakes re-
cord in the halls of congress for
the past two years is deserving of

pie, regardless of party.
John r. Coen was placed at the

for district attorney on the re-
publican ticket at the assembly
and Robert NJ. Work of Fort

AND STILL ANOTHER
The Julesburg Base Ball Team
Annex Game at Oshkosh
Last Sunday

Several auto-loads of players
and fans" journeyed over N
Oshkosh, Neb., last Sunday and
as reward brot back the Osh-
kosh scalp, thereby adding it to
their large collection.
Much cannot be said of the
game other than it was a slug
feast for the Julesburg lads-get,
ting eleven hits off of the two
slabmen for Oshkosh, while they
were lucky to get six hits from
our doctors who served the pills.
Russell Donaldson, a new pick
up, was taken along by the Jules
burg boys and upon hearing that
he had wonders of new things to
dish out as a pitcher, was given
a trial and the very first inning
luck broke against him as Osh-
kosh by two walks and two hits
showed four runs across the home
plate. He was Immediately tax
en- out and our own reliable south
paw "Dooley" Law was then
warmed up. They didn't see
much Of the pill after that, only
getting four scattered hits which
netted them two more scores, to-
tai, six.
Julesburg started their scoring
in the first, getting several safe
ones for three scores; the fourth
netted five scores by swatting the
pill; the fifth two and sixth six
with the help of some errors on
the part of the Oshkosh boys, and
a score each III the seventh and
eighth; total, eighteen.
NOTEs.
The walks recorded were, Osh-
kosh 3, Julesburg 2.
There weren't so many thrills
during the contest outside of the
way our boys hit the ball and run
around bases to keep warm.
Oshkosh tells us we are the first
to beat them this season, and
won't be satisfied as they are to
be i'll Julesburg, Sunday, August

1t was a nice long ride for the
boys and fair fans.

any county within his district as
to questions appertaining to their
duties, and to insure the faithful
discharge of his duties the district
attorney before entering upon the
duties of his Office is required to
subscribe to an oath and enter
into bond with good and suffi-
cient security in the sum of $5,-
10000.
The first and paramount duty
of the district attorney is to en-
force the criminal law of the
state without favor to any person
and to show no discrimination in
the vigor of his prosecutions. If
an aspirant for the Office of dis
trict attorney does not stand
ready and willing to exercise his
full power and strength in the
discharge of his duties he most
certainly is not entitled to Rep
ublican support in the primary
election.
In the beginning of this pri-
mary campaign, l made this per-
sonal pledge to the republican
voters of the thirteenth judicial
district that if nominated and
elected to the office of district at
torney, l will give my undivided
and individual attention to the
duties of the office, that l will at
tempt with all the ability pos
sess to serve the people with the
same fidelity that l would any
client OF my Office and that / will
prosecute violaters of the prohibi-
tory laws with the same vigor and
determination that l would a de-
fendant charged with murder.
l am absolutely and uncondi-
tionally in favor of the prohibi-
tion law as it now stands in the
state of Colorado, l am against
the adoption of The socalled beer

pose only and that a more string

capital was modified. the credit
needs OF the farmers could be
supplied for all time to come,
but this mobilization must come
thru institutions which can leng--
then the period Of loans, allow
repayment % amortization and.
make heavy and constant sales of
debentures issued against the
mortgages taken.
The best banking system that
the experience of man has ever
devised for enabling farmers TO
use their funds and revenues for
their own purposes is cooEera-
tive system, and this system
should be developed for furnish
ing farmers with their short term
loans.
The instrument spoken Of as u
debenture is capable of several
definitions. Its simplest form is
Promlssory note protected by y
mortgage on real property, which
note is made payable to bearer
and is passed from hand to hand
as currency. The note may have
interest coupons attached.
To illustrate the use Of deben-
lures in making loans We may
suppose the following case: A,
wishing to secure y loan Of any
amount, say $500, goes to b, and
gives his promissory note for ths
amount; payable To B, wtth-a
mortgage on land to secure its
payment. B, not having the
money to make the loan gives his
note or series of notes, to cover
the amount Of $500 payable to
bearer at specified future date,
or it may be with no date Of pay
ment expressed, and bearing a
certain amount of interest, pay
able semi-annually. These notes
given by B are called debentures
and recite upon their face that
they are protected by the n'ortg-
age given by A. B, turns the
debentures over to A, who in
turn sells them to any Ierssn who
can be found willing to purchase
them.
III is regularly in the business
Of taking mortgages and issuing
debentures on them he protects
every bebenture issued, on what
ever loan, by all the mortgages
taken. If he is careful to keep
the amount of his debentures at
all times within the amount of
mortgages taken the debentures
are always safe investment and
where the practice has been es-
tablished under proper protective
legislation there is always a mar
ket for that kind of paper.-C. +.
