Business in Julesburg gave way to
the Liberty Loan campaign yesterday
afternoon, and practically all of the
business houses in this city closed
from twelve o'clock noon until five
O'Clock. The day was proclaimed a
legal holiday throughout the nation
by the president of the United States
and the governors of the several
states, and those who We're released
from their daily tasks, turned their
attention to contributing to the sue
cess of the Second Liberty Loan.
Liberty Day" was observed in
Sedgwick county with drive for the
sale of the second Liberty Bonds that
extended to the four corners of the
county. Teams of men were sent in
to every community of the county,
where they worked diligently all the
afternoon, and some of the teams ac-
complished good work also during the
forenoon.
A large number of the business
men of Julesburg left their business
houses, cast off their cares and wor-
ries in their business, and devoted
the afternoon in working for Uncle
Sam and the Second Liberty Loan.
We are unable to state at this time
the exact amount that has been sub
scribed in Liberty bonds in Sedgwick
county, but it is estimated at about
$30,000.00 up to the time we go to
press, and more are coming. in.

"OLIvER TWIST" COMING TO
THE HIPP NEXT SATURDAY

The story of "Oliver Twist" the
photodramatic version of which will
be presented by the Jesse L. Lasky
Company as the Paramount attraction
at the Hipp on Sat, Oct. 81 with the
charming Marie Doro as Oliver. was
first written by Charles Dickens for a
small English monthly magazine.
Dickens at the time he signed the con-
tract to write for the magazine, was
practically unknown, and sold the
the story for next to nothing. Prior
to his writing "Oliver," the Pick
wick Papers had just been published
and he had just completed nicholas
Nickleby." After the contract to
write "Oliver" had been signed. he
found himself the most popular author
of the day, and it was one of his
greatest regrets that he never re-
ceived what he was entitled to for
"Oliver Twist" Dickenss Irritation
at having sold the story so cheaply
breaks out as early as in the l4th
chapter of the book itself when Mr.
Brownlow asks Oliver if he would
like to be book writer. Oliver re
plies that it would be much better to
be a book seller. to which Brownie"
remarks, Eve won't make an author
of you while there is an honest trade
to be learned or brick-makins to turn
to-" this being a direct slam at his
publisher.

A barn belonging to F. Q. Bell in
the Red Lion section, caught fire or
last Tuesday afternoon about three
o'clock, and was totally destroyed
Two head of horses. one COW and calf
ten tons of hay and other articles in
the barn were also burned. We are
informed that there was no insurance
carried on the building, and also a
blacksmith shop, which was destroyed
by the flames The origin of the fire
is presumed to have been from sparks
of a pipe which ore of the hired men
was smoking in the barn, catching
in the hay, and made such headway
that It was impossible to get the con-
flagration under control.

Consideration is being given to the
substitution of metal tubing for spruce

ouEsTED BY PRESIDENT FOR
SUPPORT DURING WAR.
BLAMEs HUNS FOR DIsCORD
Grafton of Labor Hears Warm
Praise For Gompers-Wants
Better Cooperation.

Buffalo, ~ Y.-President Wilson
made a personal and eloquent appeal
here for the full support of organized
labor fer the government in the con-
duct OF the war. Speaking before the
annual convention of the American
Federation of Labor, he declared the
war could not be won unless all fac
tions unite in a common cause, sinking
their differeces.
The president paid warm tribute to
Samuel Gompers, president of the fed
Grafton. and virtually called upon the
federation to give him united support.
He denounced pacifists and critics, and
appealed for cooperation.
Discussing Germany, the president
declared flatly that Germany had be-
gun the war and that he was willing
TO await the verdict Of history on that
statement.
New instrumentalities for better CO.
operation between labor and capital
was one statement by the president
which was of prime interest to the del
egates to the convention. The presi-
dent alluded to the present war as the
last decisive issue between the old
principles of power and the new prin-
ciples of freedom"

SECOND DRAFT TO
COME FEBRUARY IS
MACHINERY FOR SECOND CALL Is
PUT IN MOTION BY PRESi-
DENT WILSON.
WILLCLAssIFY s,OoO, 900 MEN

Washington.-P Wilson has
formally put the new machinery for
the carrying out of the selective draft
bill into operation with the publica-
tion of the foreword he has written
to the regulations under which the
second call will be made. The regula-
tions themselves and the question.
naires which more than 100000 reg
istrants will be required 10 fill out
have been forwarded to local boards.
War department officials estimate
that the whole process can be complet-
ed within so days. This means that
no second call will be made upon the
draft forces before the middle Of next
February, as the period OF classified
ton will not begin until Dec. is.
The president describes the new
plan of dividing all registered men not
already modified into five classes,
subject to military service by classes.
and being intended to produce "a
moro perfect organization Of our man
power"
"The selective principle must be
carried to its logical conclusion" the
president said, and he added that
there must be made complete In
ventory of the qualifications of each
registrant in order to determine "the
place in the military, industrial or ag-
ricultural ranks of the nation in which
his experience and training can best
be made to serve the common good. "
The inquiry projected in the ques-
tionnaire will go deep into the quail
fications of each of nearly 100000
men. The success of the plan and its
completion within the estimated time
rests absolutely upon the wholeheart-
ed support given by the people, es-
pecially by the doctors and lawyers Of
each community and the presiden.
calls upon them for their unstinted
aid.
