State Board Is
Doing Things

The state board of immicratio
has begun survey of all cities and
towns in the state for the special
ties in obtaining such manufacturing
industries. business establishments
and professional people as they need
\ blank QUESTIONABLE has been sent
out by the office. and well informed
people in various cities and towns
have been asked to fill out the blanks
and return them promptly.
Up to This time the board has re-
ceived about 100 of these reports and
has classified about 325 business and
professional opportunities. About
200 inquiries for special opportuni-
ties of this kind have been received
by the office and the people making
them have been referred to the var
ious towns where such opportunities
are to be found. These inquiries are
being received daily.
There are perhaps 500 cities and
towns in the state. The board wants
reports from each one of them. 1t
is particularly anxious to serve the
small un-incOrporated communities.
Towns which have received blanks
and have not reported are urged to
send the reports to the office at
once. Those which have not receiv-
ed blank reports may obtain them by
writing to the state board of immi-
grafton at the Capitol building.
The board desires to find Colora-
do people whenever possible to fill
these Colorado opportunities. Any
business or professional man or wom-
an who is not satisfied with his or
her present location may be able to
make a change that will be advan-
tageous by addressing the board and
stating what particular line of bust
ness he or she is interested in.
The board hopes to complete this
survey within thirty days. Much of
the data contained in the reports is
to be published. according to the
present plans of the board. in a state
year book. and it is especially desir-
able that every town in the state be
represented. Special opportunities,
however. are rot to be published.
A special effort is being made to
obtain manufacturing industries
where they are needed. Plans are
being made to advertise in eastern
papers to fill such openings as can
not be filled by people in the state.
Each blank filled out and sent to the
office should contain the name of
some person with whom persons de-
string to locate can correspond.

BARE SPOTS

With the opening Of spring many
people find their lawns in poor con-
dition due to winter killing and the
heaving caused by freezing and
thawing throughout the winter
wonths. The trouble may be easily
remedied if taken in time. In this
part of the country it is necessary
that any work done on the lawn
should be done very early in order
to have the best results, otherwise,
the seed is likely to fail to germinate.
During March, the ground, when
free from snow, will contain con-
siderable amount of moisture. and at
this time the lawn should be
thoroughly raked to remove all the
dead grass and refuse from it. The
grass seed may then be sown over
the bare spaces. or as many people
prefer spread a little over the whole
area. The seed should then be roll
ed in.
Doing this work early is essential,
as it insures. moisture. Any light
SHOWS that we have from March on,
will in no way injure the seed.

THE COURAGE OF A MAGAZINE

Have you ever stopped to think
what queer town this would be
how inconyenient f or you-if there
were no stores here? Without the
stores there couldn't even be a town.
Well. the only way to make stores
possible is to give them patronage.
We are not losing our heads over
the mail-order danger, nor do we
think it one of the seven deadly sins
to buy something out of town occas-
ionaly. But we do maintain that
every citizen of JulesburG should
make it his or her practise to buy
of the merchants who are helping to
pay our tazes. who are employing
our own friends and neiShbors, who
are indirectly making it possible for
all of us to make our living
We are cratified to learn that one
of the great national magazines, and
the greatest in the women's field, has
decided to exclude all mail-Order ad-
vertisinG from its columns and thus
cooperate with local merchants ev-
erywhere. That this is a proper step
can be seen by looking at the facts.
The magazine metioned, the Delin-
eator is sold locally through II. o.
| Virgins. who also sells many of the
goods advertised in its columns. Ma
| turally. the store owners prefer that
the advertising which they promote
shall help them, which is only fair.
The -Delineator recognizes this. and,
in spite Of a loss in revenue, amount
| ing to hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, has made the sacrifice in the in
| tereSt of local dealers
But the issue is broader than this.
A store such as II. o. Virgins is a
| convenience and credit to Jules
burg-we might even say Il ncces-
l.sity. Now if we all should divert a
part of our trade to far-distant con-
Germs. II. o. Virgins would be oblig-
ed to carry only a meager stock. and
we would have to realize far bigger
profits on the things we had to buy
| there. So we congratulate II. O.
Virgins and the Delineator on its
recent move. which recognizes that,

NEWS TO WORLD"
Sees Alsace-I.orraine AS
The Only Bar To Peace
Now
(Bn Annotated Press.N

Amsterdam, Oct. 11.-During the
debate in the reichstag yesterday,
Deputy Conrad Haussmann said the
declaration of DR.. Won Kuehlmann,
the foreign secretary-that apart
from AIsace-Lorraine there is no
absolute bar to peace-was tanta-
mount to a definite understanding
that Belgium should be given up.
That should be heralded forth to
all the nations" the deputy added.
Gustav Stresemann, a National
Liberal, said he would not oppose a
reduction OF ornaments, but he
thought that disarmament hardly was

thought that Germany's answer TO
the Pope ought 70 have made clear
that Germany would not undertake to
disaFm and hoped that Won Kuehl-
mann had not tied himself to yield
ing up Belgium.
George Ledebour, Socialist Demo-
crat leader, considered that the pop
ulations OF occupied territory should
be permitted to decide their own fate.
The reichstag probably will take a
decisive step forward in regard to
the question Of Alsace- Lorraine with
in a few days. The Vossiche Zeituns,
Of Berlin, says. The reichstag ma
iority supports the idea OF the for
nation OF a monarchial federal state
with democratic and parliamentary
guarantees. The newspaper believes
that this plan also is favored by the
imperial government, which has
abandoned the scheme of dividing
Alsace-Lorraine between Prussia and
Bavaria.

Planned AS Carefully AS
Any College Course, on
Pershing's Suggestion
HAVE LITTLE TIME
TO THEMSELVES
Divisions Will Be Uniform
ly. Organized, Equipped
And Trained
fRv Ansnciatsa Press.l

Washington, Oct. 11.-Courses for
the great military schools at divi-
slonal training camps have been
mapped out as carefully as are those
OF colleges. The whole scheme of the
16-week course, to its minutest de-
tail. is based on what General
Pershing and his officers have learu-
ed on the other side. 1t will be
varied as new lessons are learned
at the fighting front
The plan is calculated to produce
infantry divisions uniformly organ
ICED, equipped and trained and will
cut down materially the training
time abroad. The first division to
reach France will need but a few
weeks additional instruction to fit 1t
for duty at the front
For the first five weeks the men
will learn all about the mechanism
OF the rifle and the theories Of wind
age, elevation and the like. With the
sixth week they will begin spending
16 hours a week battering away at
targets. ...- -s
Divisions having passed through
the schooling win be remarkably ef-
fective in action as every man re-
tanned will have had rife work
enough to make him a qualified
marksman. ~
' W6ssSIy inspection.
The sample schedules show a full
day of work except on Wednesday
and Saturday when the men will be
allowed to do as they please after
/ d. m. Saturday morning Is in
spection day when all the work COW
cred will be reviewed and individuals
or units be measured by higher off,
GERS for efficiency. II below stand
ard, they will lose their afternoon
leisure until they catch up.
Selection of men for special
duties will not be made until the
eleventh week. Up to that time
courses will all be the same. The
platoons will be picked over and the
bombers, rife grenadiers. snipers,
sketchers, signalers, runners, OBJ
servers, estimators and light machine
gun men will be selected. Each man
will go to the work which the gem
eral drill has shown him best fitted
to perform.
A typical day by the clock would
be this:
ReveilIe, $50 a. m: mess. 5:45;
police and sick call, $3.50; drill call,
700; recall, 1880; mess, noon;
drill, 100 p. M; recall. 400; quar-
ters inspection, 4:30; mess, $500;
retreat or evening parade, $3.50;
guard mount, 5:45; tattoo, $500; call
to quarters, 10:45; taps, 1890. In
addition to this would be the night
drills as ordered and upon which
great stress is laid. :
Officers and noncommissioned OF
fcers will have their own daily
schools in addition. These must be
fitted into the day or night and the
men will have little time to them
selves throughout the entire course.
