erals. The very best illustration of
this attitude, however, is to be found
in the Emperor's various speeches,
and especially in his speech to his sold
iers on the eve of their departure for
China in 1900. On July 9th the
Kaiser went to Bremerhaven to bid
farewell to the German troops. As
they were drawn up, ready to en-
bark for China, he addressed to them
a last official message from the Faith
erland. The local newspaper report
ed his speech in full. In it appeared
this advice and admonition from the
Emperor, the commander in chief of
the army, the head of all Germany:
"As soon as you come to blows with
the enemy he shall be beaten. No
mercy will be shown! No prisoners
will be taken! AS Huns, under King
Attila, made name for themselves,
which is still mighty in traditions
and legends today, may the name of
German be so fixed in China by your
deeds. that no Chinese shall ever again
dare to look at a German askance.

printing, instead of letting the work

that it is greatly appreciated by US.
not so much for the amount involved,
but more on the account of the
"PULL-TOGETHER" spirit shown by
one business towards another.
Along these lines the business men
Of Julesburg will build up our town
and community much faster than we
can possibly realize We should all
pull for an increased volume of trade
and business to Julesburg as a whole,
and not so much in an individual way.
If customer comes into your store
and asks for an article which you may
novhave, it will do you no harm to
suggest that your competitor may
have it, and in so doing you may keep
that person or persons from going to
another town the next time.
There is much to be gained by
working for Julesburg as whole, and
when you can, speak, good word for
the other fellow, and cooperate with
him in working for Julesburg and COM
munity in all matters pertaining to
progress. The more people that are
induced to come to Julesburg to do
their trading by fair and courteous
treatment, the more progress our city
will make. and each and every business
establishment will receive mutual
benefits from any increased volume
Of business which our city may re-
eeive.
If customer comes to Julesburg to
buy his lumber, sell his grain, pur-
chase hardware, clothing, groceries,

reason that while the customer comes

Do you know that thousands of
horses, mules, cattle, hogs and sheep
are killed annually by railway trains
in this country, and that this economic
waste approximating many millions
of dollars can be reduced?
The thousands of horses and mules
that are killed every year would fill
the artillery requirements of many
regiments, and the thousands of cattle
hogs and sheep that are killed every
year would provide meat for thousands
of soldiers.
Anyone who aids in preventing the
loss of even one animal serves his
country patriotically and effectually.
This economic waste can be reduced
by:
Owners of stock keeping their ami
mails in fenced enclosures and not per-
mitting their stock to roam at large on
railroad right OF way,
Town officers passing ordinances
prohibiting the practice Of permitting
stock to roam at large;
Superintendents, roadmasters and
section men making personal appeal
to the owners of stock to keep their
animals in fenced enclosures:
Engineers taking every precaution
within their power to avoid striking
! stock. and never failing to report stock
seen on right of way.
Section men driving stock off OF
right of way. keeping farm gates
closed. and fences and cattle guards in
good repair; giving preference to To-
cations where liabilities of stock get
ting on right Of way is greatest;
Owners Of stock notifying the clos.
