German Spy Hang
ed in England;
Here Last Winter

Word has been received here that
Lieutenant Schwartskopenski," who
lectured in Julesburg last winter, was
recently hanged in England, after
having been tried and convicted as a
German spy. The execution took
place some time during August.
Lieutenant Schwartzkopenski," of
the Russian army, lectured in Jules
burg at the Sedgwick county high
school and at the Methodist church,
and recounted his adventures as an
exile in Siberia after refusing to fire
on his countrymen in St. Petersburg,
now Petrograd. He wore native cos
tunes, and is said to have given many
interesting and exciting incidents of
his Russian life.
He came to Julesburg we'll recon-
mended by other towns and cities.
His claim of being a Russian is said
to have been a ruse for travelling
safely over the United States gather
ing valuable information, to be used
by Germany in a war against the
United States.

BUSINESS MEN
HOLD LUNCHEON
AT BROWN HOTEL

As predicted by the Grit-Advocate
in our last weeks issue, the attend
ance at yesterdays Monday lunch
con was materially increased over that
Of the week previous. there being
about twenty-five of Julesburg's pro-
to the festive table prepared by Mrs.
Trena Young, manager OF the Brown
Hotel Cafe.
1t was easily seen that the interest
in these public welfare occasions had
increased since the week previous, at
which time there were only fourteen
present. but as stated in our last is
sue, this fact was not in the least
discouraging, considering last weeks
event was the first of its nature for
several months. 1t is evident from
the results of yesterdays gathering
that the business men of our city in
tend to make the weekly Noon-day
luncheon permanent and successful
feature.
After those present at the table
had partaken of the good things to
eat, and the inr.rman had been well
satisfied, chairman B. D. Parker, Jr.
opened the after-dinner discussion in
his usual pleasing manner.
The matter of good roads was first
taken up. 1t was announced that the
committee which was authorized to
be appointed at last weeks gather
ing, had not yet been completed, but
that this committee would soon COM
mence active work along the line of
securing better roads, which every
one will concede is vital need to
this community in its further pro-
gress A report will be had from the
"Good Roads" committee at next
Wednesdays luncheon.
Chairman Parker announced that
Prof. Ira NJ. De Long, of the state
university at Boulder. was present,
and would make talk. Prof. De
Long in his opening remarks com
mended the progressive spirit shown
by the business men of Julesburg in
holding the weekly Noon day lunch
cons, and assured the gathering that
much good would result for the up
building of the community from these
features. Prof. DeLong talked along
the lines of the Food Conservation
work, of which he is one of the state
organizers. He outlined the plan of
the government. and showed how this
work was to be carried on in each
county of the state, to the end that
each family in every community would
be interviewed personally in the mat
ter of food conservation, that our ar
my may be well taken care of during
the war. In conclusion Prof belong
stated that it was desired that our
business men get behind the movement
and lend their cooperation in this
work. The plan as outlined is in
charge of county chairman, who is
assisted by subordinates.
Upon motion, duly seconded and car
red, Prof. De Long was extended a
vote of thanks for his talk, and the
plan which he presented was heartily
endorsed by our business men. G. S.
Kinsman has been selected as county
chairman; Mrs. E. F. Clayton and
County Superintendent Miss Emma

business men Of this community. The

was turned do~n "flst" by the pss-
ple of this community-and it is right
that the proposition. which the stock
salesmen said WAS final upon their
part, should have received the "cold"
shoulder.
As most of the readers of this pa
Der know, representatives Of the Ne
braska-Wyoming Sugar Company
came to Julesburg some three weeks
ago and presented = plan to the citi-
Gems whereby their company would
erect a modern sugar factory. and
have the same in operation in time
to handle the 1918 crop Of sugar beets.
The plan as presented at that time
seemed to be = feasible one. and our
citizens agreed to cooperate with the
company along that line.
The plan as first outlined and
agreed to by representatives of the
Nebraska Wyoming Sugar Company,
was to the effect that all contracts
for beet acreage should run to . 10
cal association, to be assigned to the
sugar company at = time when the
people of this community were def
nitely assured that factory would
really be built, the company to fur
nish a good and sufficient bond as
surety they would take care of the
1918 crop Of beets. The stock sub
,criptions were likewise to be safe
guarded and put in escrow in our 10
cal banks Until the matter was dsfi-
nitely decided upon and the factory
was 4 certainty. It was simply
legitimate business proposition which
the people Of this territory had a
right to ask rs protection, and one
which new company, not well known
here should not refuse to grant, if they
really meant business and were not
holding something up their sleeve.
We don't wish to have it understood
that we are attacking the stability OF
the Nebraska Wyoming Sugar Com
pany, for as far as we know. that
company is strictly legitimate bust
ness enterprise, but we do know that
their representatives would not g.t
very far with the proposition which
they presented here last Monday, the
plan being entirely changed from
that which they originally agreed to.
The plan which the representatives
of the Nebraska Wyoming Sugar Co.
presented at meeting held in this
city last Monday was to the effect
that all beet contracts be made to
them from the start for a period of
5 years, and the contracts which the
local association had signed up should
at once be assigned to them. There
was no release clause during the per
iod of five years, and other parts of
their contract was not at all salts

The new State Purchasing Commission
has just awarded contracts for about

department has handled about $780, 900

With the war in Europe and the constant

together with the constantly changing

much saving could be effected at this
time, but despite the fact that some of

these changes without some appre-
