Excellent Rain Blesses
the Land of Plenty
On Last Sunday Eve

Rain! Rain!! Rain!!! This section
was visited with plenty of moisture
last Sunday evening, it coming at =
time when very much needed to insure
bumper crops. The rain was general,
although the fall was greater some
places than others, it being a little
lighter in this immediate vicinity than
out few miles on each side of Jules
burg. Tha rainfall here was about an
inch, while in the outlying districts
for several miles it exceeded that
amount.
EVERYBODY is feeling good from last
Sunday nights rain, which means ad-
ded prosperity to the people of this
section. The corn crop is now safe,
also the acreage of beans planted in
this territory which up to last Sun
day was in doubt. Other crops were
materially benefited. and our farm
ers are wearing big broad smiles these
days which will be lasting.
Truly our statement to this effect
that this is the Land of Plenty"
being proven every day Our large
fields of wheat are now being thresh-
ed-we are in the midst of golden
harvest, which is evidencing bounti-
full yields, and with the prices soaring
skyward, our farmers are going to be
we'll paid for their diligent labors.
Prosperity rules and this fertile sec
ton is pushing to the front by leaps
and bounds, which it is entirely justi-
fled to do.

The Good Old Bargain
Days Will Soon Be
With Us Once More

All will remember the Bargain
Days that were held in Julesburg by
the merchants of Julesburg. and the
successful results that were obtained
by such events, both bv the merchants
and the many people who took ad-
vantage of the many bargains offer
ed. We have a number of inquiries
in regard to whether or not these
events were to be continued in Jules
burg, and in answer we wish to say
through these columns that arrange
ments are now being made for a Bar
gain Day campaign to be held in this
city for period of several months.
We cannot definitely state at this
time just when. the first event will
be pulled off, but we are Of the opin-
ion that it won't be very long-just
as soon As the details can be work
ed out we will be able to give you
more definite information.
The merchants of Julesburg want
your trade-they are interested in
pushing Julesburg forward, and are
also interested in the progress of
the community at large. More pros
Ferrous conditions never existed in this
community and there will be a vast
amount of business done in this ter
ritory this fall. Now it is up to the
merchants of Julesburg to use their
best efforts to create large volume
Of business for our city-they will
have to make inducements to people
to come to Julesburg instead of 60
ing to other neighboring towns to do
their trading. Practically all of our
merchants are going to cooperate with
each other to draw trade here, hence
Bargain Day campaign is being
planned by our enterprising business
men.

LAST APPEAL MADE TO THE GREAT
WESTERN SUGAR COMPANY BY THE
BOARD OF CONTROL OF BEET ASSN
No Answer Has Been Received From the Great
Western Sugar Company After the Many
Appeals Made the Colorado Nebraska
Beet Growers Association
People of this Community Becoming Very
Demanding That the Great Western Sugar Corporation
Say "Yes" mo" Without Further Deiay-They
Now Realize How They've Been TrifIed With

A last appeal has been made this
week to the Great Western Sugar Co.,
BY the Board of Control of the Colo
RADIO Nebraska Beet Growers associa-
alton, through it's secretary, for def
mite answer in regard to that COM
pany building a modern sugar factory
in this territory. A reply from the
sugar company should be forthcoming
in the early future.
1t is now history, the campaign that
has been conducted by the people Of
this territory, trying to induce the
Great Western Sugar Company to es-
tablish sugar factory in our midst.
Conferences have been held, maps
and other data presented, and investi-
cations conducted by the sugar COM
pany. But no answer up to this writ
ing from the Great Western Sugar
Company in regard to what action
they are going to take towards build
ing the much desired fatcroy.
The people of the territory are ma
turally becoming quite impatient, and
are demanding that the Great West
ern Sugar Company show some action
without further delay. A great deal
Of time and expense has already been
utilized by the people of this territory
in their efforts to secure a sugar fac
tory for this section, and consider
ably more will be used if necessary
there is no quitting now. 1t is true
that real activity has been subdued to
. certain extent for the purpose of
giving the Great Western Sugar Com
pany an opportunity to make decis-
len in the matter, after having been
presented with the facts and details
Of the conditions that are prevalent in
the territory embraced by the Color
ado Nebraska BeeS Growers Associ-
alton.
Enough time has now elapsed for
the Great Western Sugar Company
to have made the Investigations that
are necessary, and they should with
out further delay give the Board of
Control an answer, and quit. their
dilydalying methods. They have
chance to come into this territory and
receive the hearty cooperation Of a
liligent and enterprising people. If
the Great Western Sugar Company
thinks that they can hold this fertile
sugar beet raising section much long
er, without identifying themselves
with our without building a
sugar factory-we are of the posi-
tive opinion that they will see their
mistake, as other capital will be in
terested, and the people of this section
will be loyal to the o m p n Y
that will boost home interest.
The Great Western Sugar Com
pany will be welcome with out-strech-
ed arms by the people of this section,
if they will only come in and further
identify themselves by building sug-
ar factory within our midst, but it is
entirely essential that they do SO in
order to create harmonious spirit

amongst our farmers which no
doubt means big asset to the
company's best interests. We have
the territory which has been proven
beyond question will amply support a
modern sugar factory, and it is up to
the Great Western Sugar Company to
take some action and make an answer
in regard to the proposition, which
they sincerely promised to do some
time ago. What will it be Mr.. SUG-
AR COMPANY?

we clear knowledge of our overhead

Have we used the days of sunshine to

If we have done so we may approach

less of difficulties, counting them foe

Certainly it is true, whatever else
may be true, that America cannot safe

anv spirit of fear. First in Importance
il is that we shall rely upon ourselves.
Back of the economic questions lie
those of character and psychology The
fundamental question is not so much
what is our position as it is what are
We. The nations of Europe are taking

economic loss-behind us lies back,

They must make sharper readjust-
ments from war gods to peace goods

Act IA great fete is being held in

Tru, and returns his affection; but he
las a rival in the person of Prince So
Sill who seeks the aid of Saucer-Eyes,
the Wizard Cat, who carries off the
Princess to the cave of Inky Night,
leaving the Emperor and Prince So
Tru distracted at her strange disap-
pearance.
Act. Princes Chrysanthemum,
imprisoned in the Cave of Inky Night,
with the aid of a magic ring summons
the Fairy Moonbeam who is about to
help her when she drops the ring and
cannot find it. Fairy Moonbeam disap-
pears at the loss of the ring, and the
unhappy Princess is left to bewail her
fate. Prince So-True manages to OBJ
tain entrance to the cave, and finds the
ring. which at once causes Fairy
MoonDeam to return and aid him. AT
this moment the Emperor arrives with
his attendants, and takes Saucer Eyes
prisoner, bearing him in triumph to
his palace.
Act Threatened with torture,
Saucer Eyes confesses the completely
of Prince So-Sli, whom the Emperor
orders to instant execution. This is,
however, frustrated by the appearance
of Princess Chrysanthemum, accom-
panied by Prince So-Tru and Fairy
Moonbeam with her band. The Emperor
pardons Saucer Eyes and So-Sli at the
Princess request, and gives her hand
in marriage to Prince So-Tru, thus
bringing everything to happy con-
c,asion.

We long ago endured the business

many months we have been passing
through a period of stimulation
brought by the war. This seems to be

to enter upon the inevitable time of re-
adjustment to peace basis.
The prospect of peace seems to bring
with it only fear to many in the bust
ness world. We are doing well now,
say they, but what is to happen? Since
it is not known precisely what is to
happen or when it will happen, ghosts
are conjured up and given form and
power, and men worry over the ter
rible possibility from these creatures
of their own creation What is wanted
is not so much nerves as nerve. nor
fear, but foresight, not cowardice lint
courage. Least among all the peoples
of the world have we cause for dread.
Our withers are unwrung:" orr cof-
