MAY FETE WILL BE HELD

Owing to the unfavorable weather
conditions which have prevailed the
past few days, those in charge of
the May Day exercises had practic-
ally decided to postpone the event
until week from tomorrow (Friday,)
and this fact was announced in the
schools yesterday. However, with
a radical change of the weather con-
ditions and with the sun now shining
brightly, it has been decided to hold
the event tomorrow friday as has
been previously announced-unless
the weather man should change his
mind and bring back the disagreeable
weather
The event will be held tomorrow af-
ternoon on the court house lawn in
this city, and no doubt large crowd
will be in attendance. Campus Night"
will be held tomorrow night on the
courthouse lawn by the students of
the high school, and various stunts
will be pulled off. The Julesburg
band will make their initial appear
ance tomorrow night by giving a con-

EFFORT MADE TO WRECK
UNION PACIFIC PASSENGER

As No. Is. Union Pacific passenger
train, westward bound. came thunder
ing along . few miles west of Big
Springs one night last week, the en-
gineef fortunately noticed . large
pile Of railroad ties stacked up on the
track ahead Of the train. He was
able to bring the train to a stop in
time to avoid crashing into the OBJ
struction, and thus avoided q disas-
trous wreck, which no doubt would
have resulted in wholesale loss of life
and property. As far as We can
learn the parties who did the bastard
~ act have not been apprehended-
but in the event they are, they will
be dealt with severely. We cannot
conceive Of what would prompt any
human being to step to such barbar-
ious acts Of this nature.

JULESBURG NEEDS
A NEW DEPOT
Union Pacific Is Spending Large
Sums for It's Other Towns
Elsewhere-But Not Here

A new depot for Julesburg would
indeed be to the entire satisfaction
to our citizens, and we wonder if
it isn't worth trying for at this
time. We note that the Union Pa
cific is spending considerable money
other places on Improvements Of their
property. They advertise their road
IS the STANDARD load of the West"
We agree that it is, and that is all
the more so that they should be-
come ashamed of their so-called de-
pot in Julesburg. and replace it with
modern structure that would not
only be in keeping with the compa-
ny's standardization ethics, but also
would be greatly appreciated by the
progressive and e'.terprising citizens
of Julesburg.
We have heard considerable talk
in regard to the proposition of new
depot for Julesburg, now let's get
busy and get one. There is no ques-
ton but what we are entitled to
depot that will be credit to Jules
burg and convenience to the trav-
cling public. Shall we be content
with the old structure, or are you in
line to pull for the erection of a
handsome new building, which we
can proudly say is the Union Pa
cific Station"

TOM THUMB WE'D
DING is POPULAR
Little Tots Delight the Large
Audience Who Attend the
Dainty Performance

A large crowd attended the Tom
Thumb Wedding" given at the Meth
odist church on last Tuesday night
In fact the church was taxed to its
capacity to witness the entertainment
which was given under the uspices of
the Ladies' Aid society, and under the
direction of Miss Frances McNahan,
of Denver. About 40 children partici-
patcd in the program, which was well
rendered. 1t was a pretty sight to
see the little folks. who wore special
costumes, taking their respective parts
in a fashion that would do credit to
older folks.
Special songs were rendered, which
were pleasing features of the enter
tainment. In fact The entire program
was most successful throughout, and
owing to the fact that only two re-
hearsals were held before the enter
tainment, it was indeed surprising as
to the smoothncss in the manner in
which the program was carried out
1t was joy to those who witnessed
this occasion, and it goes without
saving that the little tots enjoyed
themselves to the fullest extent.
The event will long be remembered
h" the little ones and it made a deep
impression on the older folks who
witnessed the occHsion, in more ways
than one. 1t is reminding evidence
of the possible achievements Of the
little one, whom we often times for
get in our busy and strenuous routine
of every day life. The Ladies Aid
are to be commended in the staging
of Tom Thumbs Wedding"
A nice neat sum was realized from
the proceeds of Tuesday nights en-
tertalnment by the aides, and 1t came
from very appreciative audience.

RED CROSS WORK
Err SPEAKS HERE
About Forty are In Attendance
to Hear Red Cross Worker
Deliver Speech

About forty people gathered at the
home of Mrs. w. NJ. Hileman in the
northeast part of Julesburg last Mon
day afternoon to hear an instructive
and interesting address by Miss Wi
mona Reed Jewell, state worker of
the American Red Cross Association.
The government is urging that Red
Cross chapters be organized in every
county to assist he state and the
National organizations in promoting
this work.
Already twenty-five mSn and wo-
men have pledged themselves as men,
bers of the organization, if the same
is perfected here. Mrss. Geo. Reed
of this city was designated as tenn
porary chairman to get in communi-
cation with headquarters at Denver,
and get the necessary information to
organize one of the chapters in this
city.
1t is urged that our citizens be
ready to take hold Of this proposition,
as we believe it is only one of the
many ways in which we can help
"our little bit" to serve our country
in this, the time of need, in view of
the present crisis which our nation
is confronted. We are informed that
a public meeting will be held as soon
as the necessary information is re-
ceived in order to be able to go ahead
and perfect tie organization. Let us
cooperate in whatever way we can
in furthering the success of this or
ganization.
