CHAUTAUQUA Is
COMING SOON
Big Five-Day Event Less Than
Two Weeks Off. Good Pro-
gram Is In Store For All
Who Attend

A representative of the Redpath-
Horner chautauqua was in Julesburg
the first of this week engaged in as
sisting the local committee to adver-
tise the chautauqua which will COM
mence in Julesburg June 9th. That
date isn't far off and this community
will have the privilege of seeing some
real entertainment.
The chautauqua will last for five
days and each day will be a big one
Since the memorable April 2, 1917,
when the United States entered the
Great war to fight for Freedom, and
worldwide democracy there have been
no pacifists on the Redpath- Horner
chautauqua platforms. The maximum
of service that can be rendered, the
height of the finest loyalty, the ex-
preston of American ideals, the high
est type of patriotic service which
may be reached, form the chief pur-
pose of the 1917 Redpath- Horner
chautauquas.
Yet, besides the striking messages
of great orators this season. a large
share of the programs are bringing
happiness, entertainment and inspira-
ton. The chautauqua is for the en-
tire community. While, as in all the
great public movements, there are
some who take leading part and
through whose efforts the bigger and
better things are made possible for
the community, the success of the
Chautauqua depends on the patronage
of the masses and the quality of the
programs offered.
Suffice it to say, in reference to
the chautauqua program, that in all
the eleven years Charles F. Homer
has been arranging chautauqua pro-
grams, he never more enthusiastically
and heartily recommended any pro
gram to the towns and cities on the
RedpathHorner circuit, than he does
the program for 1917, which will be
rendered in Julesburg for five days,
commencing June 9th.
Below is the detailed program for
the chautauqua to be held in Jules
burg:

ORADO:
Dear Sir: There has been an alarm
ing decrease in enlistments in the reg
ular Army since registration. The
idea is prevalent that volunteer en-
listment in the army is no longer pos
sible nor needed, whereas on the con-
trary there is most urgent need for
men to fill the fifty-one regular regi-
ments now being organized Five
hundred and fifty men are urgently
needed in the Infantry and Field Ar
tllery to complete Colorado's quota
of sixteen hundred before June 3Oth.
Valuable time is now being lost.
All abe-b bodied unmarried white
men of good character over eighteen
and under forty years of age are eli
gihlc. First citizenship papers are
not required unless the applicant is
subject of an enemy nation. Enlist
ments are ''for the period of the
emergency only
Men enlisting now have better OPP
portunities for promotion than those
who enlist after the non commission
ed officer positions have been filled.
Every county will be given credit fer
the man furnished by it for the Reg
ular Army
Upon receipt of telegram collect
from any public officer or commercial
organization addressed army Re
cruiting Office Denver" that eligi-
BILE men are ready to enlist in the
Regular Army at any railroad town
in Colorado, l will arrange transpor-
tation to the nearest Regular Army
Recruiting Station.
By authority of the Secretary Of
War l urge your active assistance in
widely advertising these facts and in
securing Colorado's quota at the ear
Hest possible moment.

Julesburg Band Makes Initial
Appearance in Full Concert.
Last Sunday Afternoon
To Large Crowd

The Julesburg Concert Band made
their initial appearance before the
public last Sunday afternoon, when
they gave full concert in the band
stand in the court house park.
Quite a large crowd attended the
concert, large number of out-of-
town visitors being present. We have
heard numerous favorable comments
in regard to last Sunday afternoon S
concert, and considering the fact that
it was the bands first concert, since
it was organized some two or three
months ago, we believe they did ex-
ceedingly well.
A good band is indeed big asset
to a town, and the Julesburg Concert
Band bids fair to become one of mer-
it within a short time, with continued
practice Much credit is due to Lead
er c. W. Bunch, who is an expert mu-
sician, and is responsible in large
measure, for the rapid Roadway the
band is making.
Following is Il list of the members
of the band:
LEADER. W. Bunch.

DIP POTATOES TO KILL ALL
GERMS BEFORE PLANTING

Before planting, potatoes should be
dipped to kill all germs that may in
Jure their growth. o. P. Henderson,,
secretary of the increased production
committee of this county, says tlat a
simple home solution is one ounce of
formaldehyde dissolved in 10 gallons
of water. This solution will dip 200
pounds of potatoes. If more are to be
dipped the solution should be mixed
and used in proportion. Potatoes
should be left in the solution from 80
to 40 minutes but not longer. Then
they should be removed and spread out
to dry, after which they may be cut for
planting. In mixing the formaldehyde
should first be dissolved in about a
half pint of water and then stirred into
the solution. Even the best potatoes
have germs on them and the dipping
process will cure this defect.
In different proportions another solu-
ton is one pint of formaldehyde, 40
per cent solution to 80 gallons of water,
soaking the potatoes for two hours.
Still another is four ounces Of formal
dehyde to 80 gallons of water, soaking
the potatoes from so to IS minutes.

our German American friends, whose
hearts are torn with love for Germany
as they knew her, and loyalty to Amer
lea as they have found her. We have
had German spies, undoubtedly, in
America, but the big majority Of our
Germans will support the United States,
| even though it be with bleeding hearts.
Let us honor their affection for their
fatherland, and not doubt their loyalty
to ours without conclusive proof.
MANY THINGS TO CHANGE.
This war will change many things.
A new day will dawn--not to the ambi-
tious and vainglorious, but to the
humble and the helpful; not to the get
tiers but to the givers will the world
look for help. A new mood Of lowliness
and helpfulness must possess us, a
Christ-like passion for unselfish min
istry. We may be entering an era Of
brok en- heartedness. Burdens beyond
belief. wounds worse than war, sorrows
that sting the soul, may await at least
some Of US. Even the least thoughtful
of us knows that the old way of pride
and self interest. indulgence and vain
glory has not paid. May we not, as
possible Gethsemane draws nearer and
nearer, accept program Of SELF abase-
ment and service? May we not 60
forth into new day with passion for
ministering to our fellow men at what
ever cost to our own pride and profit?
For a generation life has been compar-
atively easy for most of US. Now comes
the time that may try our souls. Oh,
may we be equal to the test! AS we
meet the problems of today, as we keep
ourselves strong, pure, free from hate,
sweet with the serenity only chas-
tened spirit can know, that when this
time Of trial is over we will be devel-
oped to the point where we can rightly
use the powers that must come to us
when the war is over. In anguish Of
soul we may pray in vain. Let this
cup pass from u.s. and yet, il we must
drink 1t to the dregs, in these dregs we
may find compensation in a new mo-
rality to bless a newly created world.
Pray God it may be so.
