COUNTY AGENT IS
TO HAVE OFFICE
AT COURT HOUSE
Ford Automobile Has Been Or
dered for County Agent So
that He Can Work with the
Farmers and Assist In Impor.
tant Agricultural Matters.

Mr.. w. G. Jamison, state county
agent organizer was in town last week
helping to give the new county agent
for Sedgwick county a good start.
The new county agent Mr. OFT will
have his office in the northeast room
of the basement of the Court house,
where the county commissioners have
fitted up good office for the work.
A Ford has been ordered and will
be here the first of the year, when the
county agent will be able to get out
with the farmers to meet and help
them if they have any problems or
difficulties. ,....
The county agent work is new pro-
ject for this section of the country
The United States department of agri-
culture and the State Agricultural Col
lege is cooperating with every agricul-
tural county in the United States in
securing county agent.
Contrary to the belief that county
agent is a man who is coming to the
county to teach the farmers how to
farm, handle stock, etc. The
county agent is servant or hired
man of the county He acts as a CON
Meeting link between the department
of agriculture and the agricultural
college on the one hand and the farm
er on the other. His business is to
familarize himself with the county, its
needs and the desires of the people to
the extent that the neighborhood and
ounty wide projects may be carried on
which will help in the development of
and bettering of agriculture in Sedg-
wick county. -..
For these purposes the county ag-
ent is here to give his undivided at
tention to the farmers of the county
and he asks the farmers in their turn
to cooperate with him by getting ac-
Guainted, showing him the success and
failure they have had in the past i
cordial invitation is hereby extended
TO every citizen of the county to call
and meet the new agent and in this
way help the new work under headway
and secure results.

MEx1CANs WHO ROBBED BOX CARS TAKEN
EN- SENTENCES NOT TO EXCEED 10 YEARS

Sheriff Thunderstorm left yesterday
morning with two prisoners, Dan
icl Baladez and 1iidro Torres, two of
the MeXicans arrested last week in
connection with the box car robbery in
the Union Pacific Yards in this city.
The prisoners were taken to Sterling
where they will receive sentence by
Judge H. P. Burke, and will probably
be taken from there to the penitenti-
arv at Canyon City or to the State
Reforniatory at Buena Vista.
The two allowed named Mexicans
were given a preliminary hearing be-
fore Justice of Peace E. J. Frederick,
last Saturday, Deputy District At
torney c. NJ. Robson representing the
prosecution. The prisoners were
bound over to district court Three
other Mexicans were also implicated
in the robbery, they htving received
stolen goods, and were held as Witness

their willingness to plead guilty be-
fore Judge Burke, and perhaps by the
time this paper reaches its readers,
they will have receiv d
their sentence. and are in the custody
of Sheriff Thunderstorm on their way

GOVERNMENT MEN
WILL ASSIST IN
COME TAX PAYERS

You won't have to figure out your
income tax all by yourself hereafter.
The government is going to send out
men to help you. 1t will be up to you
to hunt up these men, who will be sent
into every county seat town, and some
other towns besides, to meet the peo-
pie. Postmasters, bankers, and news
papers will be able to tell you when
the government income tax man will
be around, and where to find him. He
will answer your questions, swear you
to the return, take your money, and re-
move the wrinkles from your brow
Returns of income for 1917 must be
made between January 1 and March
l, 1918.
The Government recognizes, Col
lector of Internal Revenue Mark A.
Skinner said" that many persons ex-
perience a good deal of difficulty in
filling out income tax forms. 1t re-
cognizes too, that taxpayers residents
at points where collectors offices are
not easily accessible find it hard to get
proper instructions in the law. Next
year, when every married person liv-
ing with wife or husband and having
a net income of $4,000, and every un-
married person not the head of fam
lily and having net income of $1,000
for the year 1917 must make, return of
income on the form prescribed, there
will be hundreds in every community
seeking light on the law, and help. in
executing their returns. My own and
every other collection district in the
nation will be divided into districts,
with the county as the the unit, and
government officer informed in income
tax assigned to each district. He will
spend hardly less than week in each
county, and in some counties longer
time, very likely in the court offices,
he will be there. and in other cities
possibly at the city hall. My office
will in due time advise postmasters
and bankers and send out notices to
the newspapers stating when the Of
ficer will be in each county. 1t will
be unnecessary for prospective tax
payers to ask my office for forms on
which to make returns. The officer
who visits their county will have them.

It is nothing unusual for the Grit
Advocate to chronicle the news of a
marriage of the present day or per
haps the occasion In which the cele-
bration of few years wedding an
niversary is celebrated, put; we f0 not
often have the pleasure Of chronicle
ing an event in which the celebration
is in honor of a marriage of fifty years
ago-the golden wedding anniversary.
In St. Louis, Mo-, Dec. &c, 1867 oc-
Cured the marriage of Mr.. and Mrs.
A, F. Perrier, we'll known residents
of Julesburg. The date of their mar
riage was fifty years ago Wednesday,
Dec. 26, 1917, and in honor of the oc-
casion, about fifty of the friends and
townspeope of Mr.. and Mrs. Perrier
wended their way to the Perrier home
in the west part of this city last eve

In addition to celebration Of the k1l.

HELP WIN WAR BY
THE PURCHASING
OF THRIFT STAMPS

Have you started to buy Government
Thrift Stamps yet? If not, the pres
ent day is the very best time to be-
gin. The small sum of 25 cents will
start you and when you once start,
you won't want to stop until you have
filled a card. And after you have
filled one card. you will want more.
The government has designed these
stamps that you may purchase them
and assist to finance the war for
liberty and justice, and the Grit-Ad-
vocate believes that the people of this
community are going to purchase the
Thrift Stamps-and lots of them. The
stamps are made in small denomina-
tions that the poor as well as the rich,
may purchase them. Everyone-the
men, the boys and the girls can now
do their bit for their government.
Here is the idea When you buy
one or more of these stamps at 25
cents each you are given a card with
sixteen places for stamps. These may
be bought one at a time or more as
the purchasers are able The entire
card then costs four dollars. The card
then may be taken to the postoffice,
the bank, depot, store, or anywhere
these stamps are to be found for sale
and may be exchanged for a SIS war
certificate, by paying IL to % cents
extra. according to the month in which
you exchange. On January 1st, 1923
the government will return your mon
ey and compound interest. You will
have helped your country in winning
the war and also made a 60 ID in
vestment
Besides helping the government to
prosecute the war the saving Of these
stamps will be benefit to you. You
are not only saving the cost of these
stamps but they are earning you in
terest at four per cent when exchang-
ed for the denominations of $500. If
you want, to teach your boy or girl
the art of saving, now is the time to
commence. Buy a few stamps for
them with the understanding that they
add to them out Of their earnings. 1t
will not only teach them to save, but
will teach them a lesson in patriot
ism. Each stamp purchased. by the
citizens of Sedgwick county will be

INTERESTING PRO-
GRAM AT NOON
DAY LUNCHEON
Many Matters of Inporta.ee are
Brought Up Before Business
Men During Luneheoa When
Every Chair Is Filled With
Nooa-day Dianers.

There was large attendance at the
NooP day luncheon held at the Brown
Hotel Cafe yesterday, and it proved
to be the most interesting gathering
for several weeks. Every chair at
the long table was filled. A splendid
meal was served to the hungry busi-
ness men by Mrs. Trena Young, mana
ger Of the Brown Hotel Cafe, after
which President B. d. Parker, Jr.
opened the after-dinner discussion.
The first matter brought up was
that of the work now under way on the
road between Julesburg and Big
Springs. Mayor Hileman made the
report that over $4,000 had been
raised by subscription to meet the ex-
pense Of gravelling the road, and that
the work had already been started.
He stated, however that there was one
matter which was holding back the
work, and that was the proposition of
securing teams and men to haul the
gravel. He made request that the
business men cooperate in the matter
of assisting to secure teams and men,
who receive an average wage of about
$500 per day, man and team. He fur
ther impressed the necessity of hur-
rying the work while the good weather
prevailed.
r. Dobell made report in regard
to the work of the Red Cross drive for
membership, stating that about $675.-
90 had been collected in memberships
up until last Monday evening, and
that one or two places in the county
at that time had not made report of
their work, thus no doubt bringing the
total over $4,000
County Treasurer j. c.. Wagner cir
culated a paper yesterday morning Sc
curing signers for a guarantee of four
weeks attendance at the Noon-day
luncheon and up until yesterday noon
had twenty names who signed the list
and paid $500 each, and thus it will
be seen that good attendance is as
sured and also the management of the
Brown Hotel Cafe will have a guaran-
tee of an approximate number each
week. 1t was clearly explained at
yesterdays gathering that the list of
signers did not exclude those who were
not on the list from attending the
luncheons, but that those who had
signed the paper and paid up for four
weeks had simply volunteered to do so
in order to cfeate al larger attendance.
R. j. Dobell made a motion that a
committee of three be appointed to
prepare program each week for the
luncheon in order that more interest
be manifested at til fe regular weekly
gatherings, and those having matters
for discussion could present the same
to the committee. This committee to
act as an investigating committee in
regard to matters pertaining to the
public welfare of the community and
bring them up for discussion at the
luncheons. Mr.. Dobell's discussion
was seconded by Judge G. H. Austin,
and unanimously carried. The follow
