Must Have License
to Use Explosives

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 12--
Van. H. Manning. Director of the Bur-
eau of Mines, Department of the In
terror, to-day appointed the county
clerk of each county of the State of
Colorado as licensing officers in this
state in connection with the enforce
ment of the new Federal Explosives
Regulation act.
The law goes into effect November
Is, and provides that all persons hav-
ing use for explosives must first OBJ
tain from the licensinng officer in his
county license stating the manner
in which the explosives are to be used
and assuring the officer that the ex-
plosives will be properly accounted for.
No license will be issued to aliens
who are accredited to countries that
are unfriendly to the United States.
1t is hoped in this manner to account
strictly for the disposition Of all ex-
plosives and to prevent them from
falling into the hands of evilly-dis-
posed persons. The entire police
force of the country has been asked to
aid in the enforcement of this law
The penalty for the violation Of the
law is fine of $4,000 or a year in
the penitentiary or both.

The local exemption board has re-
ceived advance copies of the Question
aires, which will soon be sent out to
all registered men who have not gone
to the army cantonment camps. These
questionaires are to be sent out by the
'overnment in order to re-classify all
those who have registered for military
service, and all former exemptions
are to be annulled, it being necessary
for all men to be examined again, re-
gardless of former exemptions by the
various exemption boards.
The Questionaires are very lengthy
and somewhat complicated in their
nature, and for this purpose the gov
'rnment is establishing legal advisory
boards in each county. This board is
to be composed Of lawyers, whom we
are informed will serve without COM
pensation, and render assistance to
those filling out the questionaires.
The group Of registrants within the
jurisdiction Of each local exemption
board is taken as the unit to be classi-
fled. There is to be five classfica-
tions. Within each class the order of
the liability is determined by the
drawing which has hitherto assigned
to every man an order Of availability
for military service relative to all men
not permanently or temporarily ex-
empted or discharged.

to standard. there being about twen-
ty-five Of Julesburg's business men
gathered around the long table, to par
take Of the wholesome dinner pre-
pared by the management of the
Brown Hotel Cafe.
G.. S. Kinsman, who last week
agreed to take the responsibility Of
notifying the business men of the
luncheon, did so and did good job Of
it too, the attendance being over
double from that Of the week proceed
ing, at time when number forgot
about the event
President B. D. Parker, Jr. presided
at the after-dinner discussion. One
of the principal topics of discussion
was that of holding a luncheon in
which the ladies would also be present,
it being deemed best to hold the event
some evening. After considerable
discussion along this line, it was
moved, seconded and carried that

agreeing to prepare the luncheon at
that time. It was also agreed that
the regular Monday luncheon would
be eliminated on that day. and the
evening luncheon in honor of the ladies
held instead. Further details of the
event will be worked out at next
weeks luncheon.
City Health Officer briefly stated
the smallpox situation in Julesburg,
saying that at the present time there
was not a single case of the disease,
and that all the quarantines had been
lifted. He further stated that every
'recaution was being used to prevent
the contagion getting another start
within our midst.
Mr.. Austin also made a report of
the campaign to raise funds for the Y
M. c. A. war work in Sedgwick coun-
ty, and stated that while the allotment
of this county was $780,, this amount
had been oversubscribed, and the
amount raised was over $130O.OO,
which was indeed a high compliment
to the citizens of this county, and
great credit was due to the members
of the committee in the various pre-
cincts who were in measure respon-
sible for the success attained.

LOCAL FUEL COM
MITTEE RECEIVES
INSTRUCTIONS

The State Fuel Administration has
established local committee in Jules
burg to attend to the various duties in
connection with this part of the war
work of the government. The COM
mittee consists of G. E. Hendricks,
chairman; Chas. Petersen and z. N.
Cleveland.
G. E. Hendricks, chairman of the
local committee of the State Fuel Ad-
ministration received the following
letter the first of the week, defining
the duties of the committee:
Mr.. G. E. Hendricks, Chairman Local
Committee, State Fuel Administra-
tion, Julesburg, Colo.
Dear Sir:
1t shall be the duty of the local COM
mittee to gather information regard
ing the supply of fuel on hand in their
several communities, with special re-
gard to the points of immediate need.
Where conditions of exhorbitant
retail prices prevail in district, the
committee should make careful in
vestigation of the costs of doing bust
ness by each of the dealers, and if it
appears that more than a reasonable
profit is being enjoyed by the dealers,
the committee should arrive at fair
and reasonable profit to be allowed the
retailer, sending recommendations as to
such reasonable price or prices to this
office to be passed upon.
In arriving at fair margin we sug-
gest that you average the costs of the
dealers doing business in your district
and then allow reasonable profit ov-
er and above the average cost. When
sending such recommendations you
should always state the grade of coal
and size, and the freight rate
When called upon to do so, to in
vestigate the status of contracts be-
tween jobbers or operators and the in
dustrial plants of the community, es.
pecially where such contracts call for
delivery at prices below the Presidents

EARLIER NEXT WEEK

The Grit-Advocate is making plans
to publish one day earlier next week,
Wednesday instead Of Thursday. We
are going to do this in order that the
force may enjoy vacation on Thanks
giving day. It isn't often that the
printer gets a vacation, and when he
does he is compelled to work by lamp
light to make up for lest time, in or
der to keep up with the general rou-
tine of the work around newspaper
shop. Advertisers are requested to
get their advertising copy in little
earlier for next weeks issue.

DAY
WAS SUCCESS
LAST SATURDAY

Bargain Day came last Saturday
and with the event also came some
very disagreeable weather which no
doubt kept number of people from
visiting Julesburg to take advantage
of the many bargains which were on
hand at the various stores in this city.
However, notwithstanding the unfav-
orable weather conditions, a good
crowd of Bargain Day shoppers visit
ed Julesburg, and our stores were kept
exceedingly busy during the day.
The matinee at the Hipp Theatre
proved pleasant feature, both shows
being attended by capacity crowds
Free tickets were given to the Bargain
Day shoppers by the Bargain Day
merchants. 1t was simply a case of
the merchants and business men of
Julesburg entertaining their patrons.
As far as we have heard the program
at the Hipp Theatre last Saturday
afternoon was first-class and gave en-
tire satisfaction.
1t is not denied but what there
would have been number more of
people in Julesburg last Saturday, had
the weather conditions been more fav-
orable, the day being cold and misty.
But Bargain Day was a real success
just the same, our merchants reporting
big sales, and there were bargains
galore at the various business estab-
lishments. It is true that some bar
gains were better than others, and
the ones which offerd tn. best induce
ment were those which created the
greatest demand.
There is no question but what Bar
gain Day is good thing for eur city,
and we hope to see these events con-
tinue from time to time. Theer is
benefit to be derived by both the Bar
gain Day shopper and the merchant;
and along with this the community as
whole, from the increased volume in
trade.
It is probable that another Bargain
Day will be held in Julesburg during

elena Rivers" was the attraction
at the Lowe opera house last Tuesday
night, and t was greeted by large
crowd, who seemed to enjoy the play
very much. The company of players
each protrayed their respective parts
in good style, but special mention
should be made of Mr.. M n
ming, the comedian, whose work kept
the audience in a continual uproar of
laughter, and added much spice to the
entertainment. Mrs. Manning, who
took the role of Lena, also bears spe-
cial mention, she taking the star role
in very pleasing way. The LENA

gregation and gave entire satisfaction
to the large audience last Tuesday ev-
ening.

Y. N. c. A. FUND IS
OVER-SUBSCRIB-
ED in COUNTY
Sl33O.5O AMOUNT RAISED
AlIOtm ment of SS5O.OO Is Greatly
Exceeded In Drive For Funds
in Sedgwick County For Y. NJ.
c. A. War Work.

The drive in Sedgwick county for
funds to aid the Y. NJ. c. A. war work
closed this week, and the campaign
was very successful one in every par
ticular. The amount allotted to be
raised in this county by the state or
ganization was $S5OOO, and we are
pleased to say that that amount was
oversubscribed by the patriotic citiz-
ems of Sedgwick county, there being
$1330.50 raised for this most worthy
cause.
The Y. NJ. C. A. has taken an active
work in the war work, and it is graft
flying to know that there has been
hearty response from the American
people to the call for funds to help
carry on the work of the Y. NJ. c. A. in
the various army camps in making
the life of our "Soldier Boys" more
comfortable and cheerful, and keeping
the Home ties unbroken.
Sedgwick county can justly feel
proud that she has oversubscribed the
amount allotted to her to aid this part
of the war work, which is highly i'm
portant to the welfare of the boys in
khaki. From every quarter is heard
splendid compliments of the excellent
work being performed by the Y. M. C.
A. in its emergency war work, and
this organization is deserving of the
staunch support which our citizens
have wisely seen fit to give. We can
rest assured that all money expended
by the Y. NJ. C. A. will be done scnenti-
fically and along the lines that will
be most acceptable to the soldier boys,
who have left our midst to fight for
their country.
The citizens of Sedgwick county are
continually demonstrating that they
are backing" the soldier boys in ev-
cry possible way, and will contribute
literally to movement in the nature
Of the Y. M. C. A. war work, which di-
rectly benefits them in numerous
ways. We have the welfare of the
soldier boy at heart-there is nothing
too good for them in the estimation of
the patriotic citizens of this section.
That's the reason the Y. NJ. C. A. war
fund was considerably oversubscribed
in Sedgwick county.

THANKSGIVING
FUND DNSENTTO
SOLDIER BOYS
Sll4.OO Is AMOUNT RAISED
Citizens of Sedgwick County Re-
member The Boys at Camps
BY Generally Subscribing to
Thanksgiving Fund.

The citizens of Sedgwick county
have again demonstrated that they
have "A heartfelt interest in the Sedg-
wick county soldier boy, the Thanks
giving Fund having been swelled to a
neat sum of $l14.O0 at the time of
closing.
1t is pleasing to note that such an
interest was taken in the matter of
providing additional delcacies for the
boys Who have left our midst to serve
their country in the present war cris-
is, and whose seats will be vacant
around the family circle on Thanks
giving day and at the Thanksgiving
feast.
The committee composed of f. F.
Clayton, cashier of the Citizens Nat
ional Bank; Jacob Frickle. Jr.; and P.
r. Mcdowell, the first of this week
drafted letters to the Scdgwick coun-
ty soldier boys enclosing them their
proportonate share of the fund con-
tributed by the citizens of Sedgwick
county, stating to the boys that it was
a little Thanksgiving remembrance
from the Home Folks.
Those who have contributed to the
Soldier Boys Thanksgiving Fund have
done their "bit" to make Thanksgiv-
ing Day cheerful one to the boys in
khaki, who will not be in our midst,
but in camp serving their country. It
is truly commendable of our citizens
for the united action which they have
displayed in their efforts to provide
the nice little sum as Thanksgiving
remembrance to the boys in camp.

Fund:
