Holiday shopping is now on
in full blast in Julesburg and We
want to say that our merchants
are we'll prepared. Large stocks
of goods are on hand and you
are assured of big selections to
select from. Before you send
away for any of your Christmas
gifts, We advise you to visit our
stores and see what you can get
right at home. We suggest that
you cultivate the 'Trade at
Home" spirit this year and in
doing so it will help build up our
community, in which we are all
interested.
The Mail Order concerns are
busy these days flooding the mails
with their literature in view Of
the big harvest they wish to reap
at the expense of our home tesri-
tory. They don't care a rap
whether you have an enjoyable
Christmas-they will not be with
you at the Saint Nick's festivities
and contribute to the entertain
ments in which we all will take
part. We, of this community,
are one big family. We have
common interests together and
are interested in seeing progress
in this locality and as the holi.
days approach, we should realize
this more than ever.
"Loyalty to the Home Inter.
ests" is what is needed to furthe,
the development of our territory
Every dollar is needed right Al
home to build up the commun
munity. This is where you anc
l live and call our home. Wha
is more vital to us than Home
Sweet Home? "Home" is oul
first love and needs our protec
ton. The Mail Order Shark ha.
no interests in our midst ant
never will. Think seriously O
these things Mr.. Patron of thu
Mail Order shu-bangs. We say
emphatically, that you have nc
right to be disloyal to your com
munity-for in doing so you ar.
robbing the interests of YOU
home in most direct way. W.
have a great wave of prosperity
and it is up to us to make the
best of our opportunities. We
certainly cannot make the best
of them by sending our money
away from us to the far away
merchant who has no interest in
US whatever.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN CROPS.
Q 4. Fighting Insects and Diseases.

" J. s. hnsx, Extension Horticultur-
 lst, University of Arkansas.
 The man who expects to grow a 4rst class crop of fruit under pres <nt conditions must be prepared to sght the various kinds of insects and 4aseases that attack the crop. Every fear there are thousands of orchards Fer the country being killed or dam keeo to such an extent that they will 4sVey yield a profitable crop to the 4Fner just because he has not used Re proper precautions to keep these alseases and insects under control.
 hlnds Of Insects: All of the or Rnard insects come under one of two 7eads First there is a type of insect fnich takes its food supply from the R4ht oy means of a sharp beak or 4FooQscis like that of the mosquito. N order to control insects of this Npe It is necessary to spray witn Pme strong solution which when 1t 'Pmes in contact with the body of the Rsect Will stop up the breathing pores no thus cause death. Insects belong

 iead arsenate or Paris green. This s'ho Of Insect is much more apt to be 0'ced than the other because the a"age it does Is much easier seen

 em Among the Insects which take
 sr food by eating the fruit or the aFes are Cooling moth, canker CPms' webb worms, caterpillar, cur S'llos and others.
 hinos Of Diseases: There are hun
 sus or different diseases that attack
 uinerent kinds of plants, but only
 o"iparatiyely small number do any
 .eus uamage to the fruit crop and
 sn two or three of these can be
 asioiied by the same kind of spray

 ases attacking the fruit crop are .'cn, scab, bitter rot, rust, brown
 V stone fruits, and black rot and

rust, blight, leaf spots, crown gall. root rot.
 Spray Materials: There are as many different kinds of spray ma terial on the market as there are dis eases to control, yet there are com partively few of these which are used to any great extent in our orchards. Lead arsenate either in the form of paste or powder is the principal poi son used. However, Paris Green is used to a considerable extent in some instances. Bordeaux mixture, which is solution made of lime and cop per sulphate or blue stone. is osse of the best fungicides, and lime sulphur. a solution of lime and sulphur of diff ferent proportions, is used both as an insectitude and as fungicide. Coal oil emulsion is solution of coal oil, soap and water of varying proportions
 is also quite commonly used as an insecticide as well as are various kinds of tobacco preparations.
 Spraying: For best results spray ing must be thoroughly done The spray is only preventive at best and does not replace or cure damage al ready done. It protects only the part of the fruit or tree which Is covered by the solution, hence the importance of thoroughness If one leaves only portion of a twig uncovered when spraying for San Jose scale. this small limo will be the means of spreading the scale over the whole tree before the year is over and pos sibly get it started on other trees Sometimes several sprayings may be necessary in order to eradicate a dis. ease or insect and this is not infre- quently the case with the most com. mon of the orchard pests. Some of the orchardists spray from five to eight times each year for scab, bitter rot, codling moth, etc. In order to have the desired effect, the spraying must be done at the proper time. Often q days difference In time makes a big diffrence in the results obtained, so promptness as well as thoroughness counts in the spraying business The thing that appeals to every orchardist. however, is that by doing the work thoroughly and promptly he can grow crop of fruit that is credit to any section

NINE FRENCH SOLDIERS
 SURPRISE AND CAPTURE FORT
Slipped Into Fort That Had Re- sisted Fierce Artillery Bombard-

Paris, July i9.-Nine French sol diers captured ii3 Germans in the garrison and field fort at Biaehes, making one of the most striking ep- isodes of the Somme offensive.
 The fort had resisted turnout the fierce artillery bOmbardment and all infantry attacks had been re- pulsed by machine gun fire.
 A French officer, however, disc0v- cred a breach in the defenses, and led eight selected men in the long grass to the opening, where they took the Germans by surprise.
 The latter, thinking there were more French soldiers behind, sur rendered without a fight, and the entire number was escorted by the nine Frenchmen to the French lines.

Hiqh Cost of Goyernmen..

From The Fort Smith Times Record.
 We have had a lot of talking about the high cost of living. We have less talk about the high cost of gov- ernment The latter is very ex- pensive What makes it more seri- ous is that closer to home we get the more the expense has increased. County government in the United States has increased ii0 per cent in the past ten years. The fact is our system of county government is out Of date. We ought te have counties governed by a commission and let the commission hire the clerical and experimenting work done It would save lots of money
