CHAUTAUQUA is
NOT A LUXURY
Julesburg ] To Have Interesting
Chautauqua During Last of
Next Month

The chautauqua. has become a real
university extension, and many men
and women of ability and capacity
have secured a better knowledge of
men, literature and of the real big
questions of the day through attend
ance at the annual program of chau-
tauquas. The chautauqua is there
fore an institution to be cultivated
1t is an opportunity to be taken ad-
vantage of. 1t is an influence in any
community that. cannot be computed
In ordinary terms of measurement.
Chautauquas are not luxuries-they
are necessities. The position of the
business man who refuses to support
such an institution is hard to under
stand. It might not bring into his
till single cent in hard cash, but
the educational feature, the moral up
lift to the younger generation GER
talnly makes it paying proposition
to community. After all, it isn't
always the real money to be made
but there are other things worth just
as much.
Whatever makes people think along
higher lines, and whatever cultivates
the desire for the acquisition Of better
things in life, is to be commended.
We believe that the chautauqua
does this, and that the citizens of
Julesbur.y and community should give
the rhautauqua to be held in this city
next month a united SUPPORT.
We viii s"on announc" :he definite
date of the Redpath- -Horner chautau-
qua to be held in Julesburg this sum-
mer, and we are informed bv the Red
path-Horner management that their
program this year is one that will
please the most critical Watch this
paper for further announcement and
detailed program.

Big Program
Decoration Day
Committee Is Making
Plans For An Extra
Good Program

As usual, 4 large number of the
| business men of Julcsburg attended
the Noon-day luncheon at the Brown
hotel yesterday. Every chair at the
| long table was filled and a number
sat al smaller table along side.
A good meal was served by Mrs Rit-
tenhouse, which was enjoyed by all
present.
After everyone had eaten in most
/ hearty manner, President Parker op-
ened the discussion period by asking
for reports from various committees.
Attorney Roy T. Johnson made a re-
port in behalf of the committee which
has charge of the Decoration Day
program, anG said that the commit
tee was getting things in shape for
an unusually strong program. Ar
rangemcnts had been made for a pa
rade of the school children, the streets
and business houses were to be dec
GRATED for the occasion, and that it
was the desire of the committee to
have all the business houses cooper
ate in the matter of decorating. Ne
gotiations are also being made to Sc
cure the services of a prominent spea-
ker from Denver to deliver an address
in the afternoon. The Womans' club
also had offered their services in as
sisting the preparations for the pro-
gram.
w. H. Winterbotham. member of
the Good Roads" committee, stated
that W. H. Pound, who had part of
the work of that committee in charge,
was out of town, and that a report
would be made at next weeks lunch
con. He further stated that some i'm
mediate action should be taken in re-
gard to the road leading south Of
Julesburg to the county line.
President Parker stated that some
correspondence was now going or in
regard to the County Agricultural
Agent, and that further report on
this matter would be made Just as
soon As it was possible to do so.
w. d. Hoover, who is here repre-
senting the Great Western Sugar
Company. was present at yesterdays
gathering and made a splendid talk
on the sugar beet industry, and gave
a brief history of the production Of
sugar during the past several certur-
les, showing the rapid strides of pro-
gress which has been made within
the past few years. He also touched
on the local situation! of the sugar beet
culture, and made suggestion of pos
sible expansion. His talk was great
ly appreciated by all present, and was
loudly applauded at the close.
The Noon-day luncheon each week
brings forth new subjects for discus
sion, and the majority of our business
men are taking considerable interest
in the regular weekly gatherings. 1t

Agricultural
Agent Needed
Would Be Big Asset to
the Community and
all Concerned

We have heard a number of favor
able comments since our last issue
in regard to the matter of County
Agricultural Agent for Sedgwick
county. Up until the present writing
we have heard no unfavorable COM
ment in regard to the proposition
Have you thought the matter over
or have you not yet become interest
ed? II you should have an objection,
we are frank to admit that we would
like to have you voice your senti-
luents through the columns of this pa
per or otherwise. We will indeed be
glad to hear from more of our readers
stating their opinions on the subject
A County Agricultural Agent as
we have stated in q previous issue of
the Grit-Advocate would be a big as
set to the county in q number of
ways, at least that is our opinion
formed from observing results obtain
ed in other counties where the services
of County Agricultural Agent are
considered indispensable. Surely we
want to make the best of all oppor-
tunities that confront us in an agri-
cultural way throughout this fertile
section-and don't you believe the ser
vices Of q County Agricultural Agent
would aid considerable along agricul-
tural lines. None of us are SO eff
cient but what we can learn more
and this fact holds good with the far
mer as well as in all other lines.
The greater the crop production in
Sedgwick county, the greater prosper
ity it means for all its citizens, re-
gardless of their vocations in life.
We appeal to you to give the mat
ter some serious thought and don't be
backward in voicing your opinion.
This is matter of common interest
to the citizens of the county as
whole-and should be treated as such.
Your Influence might go long ways
towards accomplishing results of a ma
ture that will not only be beneficial!
to you, but to your friends and neigh
bors as well. If you think that the
services of County Agricultural
Agent would be benefit and we'll
worth while, use what influence you
can in helping to make the matter a
reality. The Grit-Advocate sincerely
believes that County Agricultural
Agent is the next move for Sedgwick
county. What's your opinion?

STATE SUPT. WAS
HERE FRIDAY
Mrs. Mary c. C. Bradford De,
livers Interesting Address
Association Formed

Mrs. Mary C. G. Bradford, state
superintendent of schools. was pres
cnt at meeting held in the auditor
ium of the Julesburg public school
building on last Friday night. Mrs.
Bradford delivered an address on ED
ucational Organization as an Aid to
National Growth" and was greatly ap-
preciated by all those present. AL
though the weather was bad, good
number of persons were present last
Friday night, a number coming from
out-of-town. After the lecture by Mrs.
Bradford the matter of organizing a
County Teachers Association was ta-
ken up and the same was perfected
by the election of the following Off
GERS for the ensuing year:
President-Miss Emma Carlson
Vice-President- Moody, pin
cipal of the Sedgwick public school.
Secretary-Miss Alice Eversman,
Ovid. -
Treasurer-Mrs G. E. Hendricks.
A Parents Teachers Association,
embracing only the schools of Jules
burg was also organized. following
the organization of the county asso-
elected for the ensuing year:
President-Mrs. 3. D. Parker, Jr.
Vice-President-C. w. Lanning
Secretary-W. NJ. Labaree.
Treasurer-Prof. Geo. P Young.
We are of the opinion that great
benefit will be derived from the new
organizations. Our schools are to be
reckoned as one of the county's prin-
cipal institutions, and too much eff
fort cannot be made for systematic
work. County Supt. Miss Emma
Carlson is taking great interest in
lettering conditions in the schools
throughout the county, and although
her term in the capacity of county
superintendent has been of only a
few months duration, she has already
accomplished considerable good in her
consistent work. The citizens of the
county should give her their hearty
cooperation in aiding to push our
schools to the highest possible ranks.

WHY NOT PETITION UNION
PACIFIC FOR A NEW DEPOT

What's the matter with petitioning
the Union Pacific railway company
for a new depot for Julesburg? Isn't
it about time that the old structure
is being replaced by new one-one
that will be credit to our city. Cen
trally located as Julesburg is on the
railroad map, and considering the
amount of business done here, both
passenger and freight, we think there
is no reason why the company could
not be prevailed upon to build new
depot at this point.
Julesburg wishes to cooperate with
the Union Pacific in every practical
way, and all that we ask is that the
railroad company meet us half way.
1t isn't out of place in the least that
this city ask the Union Pacific to
build new depot that will be in
keeping with the rapid strides of pro-
gress Julesburg is making.
Did you ever stop and consider that
the first thing visitor to our city
notes when arriving here, is the de-
pot. 1t is true that the city is not
responsible in measure, for the ap-
pearance of the depot-because it is
railroad property, but nevertheless,
the stranger holds it as a detriment
to the town. Besides this, it is es-
s:ential that our depot facilities be
improved for the convenience OF our
citizens and the travelling public. A

1t isn't long now until plans and
preparations will be in order for the
Fourth of July celebration which will

was stated in this paper several
weeks ago, = meeting was held by
our business men, and it was decided
to hold rousing Fourth of July eel
ebration in Julesburg this year.
While the date of the Natal day il
practically two months off@we be:
lieve it will do no harm to commence
early preparations for the big cele-
bration. One thing is almost certain
and that is that the Julesburg Band
will be in first-class shape to furnish
an abundance of music for the occa-
sion, and this will a pleasing fea-
ture of the days program. We will
in all probability have fast base

game vii! be schedule! fc- that day.
Prominent speakers also will proba-
bly, be included on the program and
there will be plenty of entertainment
for young and old alike. It has been
several years since Fourth of July

celebration this year that will long be
remembered as most enjoyable day

Mr.. P. r. Mcdowell, Editor,
The "Grit-Advocate,"
Julesburg, Colo.
Dear Mr.. Mcdowell
wish to be among the first to
extend to you my hearty congrat-
ulations upon the neat appearance
of this weeks issue of your en-
terprising newspaper. do not
recall ever having seen a paper
in small city which showed
more local interest and enthusi-
asm, and l must say that l have
been most favorably impressed
by your publication.
| often wonder if the business
men and residents of a communi-
ty thoroughly realize how much
a live newspaper may do for them
and their community, and wheth-
er or not they are sensible of
their duty to assist and support
it in it's efforts. A newspaper
is the mirror of the community's
activities and the reflection which
it throws out depends entirely
upon the attitude of the people
themselves. Surely, here is an
opy 'rtunity for cooperation.
ishing you continued success,

Very sincerely yours.

SPECIAL PRIZE
DAY WAS HELD
Despite Cold Weather Large
Number of Prize Tickets
We're Cast in Ballot Box

Last Saturday was Special Prize
day i'll Julesburg and quite number
of Special Prize tickets were deposit
ed in the ballot box located at the
Grit-Advocate office. This fact was a
surprise, considering the extremely
bad weather which prevailed through
out the day. 1t was impossible for
great many people from the coun-
try to come in, as the roads were in
deed bad shape, and with the weather
conditions, it would have been very
unpleasant driving.
Miss Gennie Geiger was the winner
of the Quick Meal Oil Burner stove,
her name being written on the '.lucky"
ticket drawn out at the Hipp theatre.
This is very useful prize and was
given away FREE by the merchants
of Julesburg as premium on trade.
These Special Prize days have proven
very popular feature for our city.
and although the past two events
have been held on days which were
accompanied with bad weather, con-
siderable interest has been manifest
ed. 1t is to be hoped that the next
Special Prize day, which will be the
last Saturday in this month, will at
least strike fair weather conditions
The merchants of Julesburg are to
be commended in the enterprise that
is being shown by them in an effort
to increase the volume of trade gen.
orally for our city They do not in
tend to quit, but are going to keep
everlastingly at it. Due notice will be
made in this paper of the date and
the details of the next Special Prize
day to be held in Julesburg. Watch
for this announcement to appear in an
early issue of the Grit-Advocate
Julesburg. during the past several
months has made quite reputation
for things moving along at a lively
rate, and the people of the communi-
ty at large have come to realize that
this city affords good trading facili-
ties, and that customers of our stores
are extended most courteous treat
ment.
