BANKERS ANO BROKERS'
) SHOW FINE PATRIOTISM

When your banker or your broker
encourages you to buy United States
Liberty Bonds, don't make the mis-
take Of thinking that he has any sci.
fish motives. The fact is that he does
not make any commission whatever
BY selling these war bonds. On the
contrary. all the work that a banker
or broker undertakes in connection
with United States Liberty Bonds ia
at his own expense.
Seldom has any class of business
men shown finer patriotism than that
exhibited in recent weeks by the banE-
srs and brokers. The federal govern
ment is under great obligations to
them for the high spirit of public duty
they have shown. for the enthusiasm
they have manifested in familiarizing
the public with United States Liberty
Bonds and in encouraging people to
buy.
If you have not yet ordered your
United States Liberty Bonds, see your
banker or your broker today. And re-

DON'T Be AFRAID OF BONDS:
they're LIKE COLO coin

Don't get scared when anybody says
"bonds." One reason why most PEG.
pie know very little about bonds is
that usually they cost around $1,000
each, and you and don't buy $1,000
things every day. But our United
States is now issuing United States
Liberty Bonds that cost as low as $50,
and it's high time now to learn that
bond is the safest investment on earth,
On the United States Liberty Bond

you get your entire principal back.

Ojus, Fla, June 4, 1917.
P. R. Mcdowell,
Editor Grit-Advocate,
Julesburg, Colo.
Dear Percy:-After addressing you
formally as editor, thus conforming
to the conventions, l could not be my
natural self if l did not, figuratively
speaking, talk" to you as Percy"
even though it be in the columns of
your own excellent newspaper.
You could doubtless bear testimony
along with some others in Julesburg
those from Missouri who have To-
Gated in or near your progressive
city, that during my newspaper ca
reer adopted the policy of "boquets
for the living" while the boqueters
can appreciate them, therefore here
goes for a few boquets for yourself,
Julesburg and surrounding country,
which l regard as fully earned Hav-
ing played at the newspaper game

much play, after ALL would GER
tainly be more than ordinarily stu
pid if were incompetent to at least
! judge of a few merits or dement's of
a newspaper. That much sub rosa
with reference to myself, and for the
| benefit of those of the Grit-Advocate's
readers who are not acquainted with
me.
First of all, l note with pleasure,
the painstaking care, the civic pride,
the community up-building spirit, the
down-to-theminut typographical APP
pearance of the front page of the
Grit-Advocate, and what is more graf
flying still, each issue of the paper is
an improvement upon its predecessors.
Moreover, all of the other pages of
the Grit-Advocate are pleasing COM

do-aye, an asset, whose intrinsic
worth it would be well-nigh impossi-
BILE to compute in dollars and cents,
1t is obvious that the business men
OF Julesburg appreciate what the
Grit-Advocate is doing for them and
Julesburg and contiguous territory,
and the further fact that the Grit
Advocate carries upon its very face
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1917-06-07

the proof of its excellence As an ad-
vertising medium.
Without liberal advertising patron
. age no newspaper can become strong
/ "a prosperous as it should be, and
/ no community not blessed with a good
I strong newspaper can progress as it
should. This is not sentiment, but
hard cold facts. This busy, busting
world has no place for knockers" I'M
less it be in the rear of the process
sion. to use them as counter irritants,
or. rather as hapless bradders to spur
the boosters on to renewed diligence.
Hence it thrills me with joy unspeak-
able, my son, that you have caught
the spirit of this wonderful twenti-
eth century and are q veritable boos-
ter. Boosting is catching, even tho
it be sporadic; but boosting of the
type displayed by the Grit Advocate
is more than that-it's an epidemic
in Sedgwick county. Think of those
weekly business mems MONDAY
luncheons, the organizing for a sugar
beet factory, the building of a new
farmers glain elevator and other pub
lie and private improvements galore,
which the Grit-Advocate keeps in the
limelight all the while-ail these bear
eloquent tribute to the forward and
upward movement which has the
right-of-way in Sedgwick county.
With such prosperous conditions
permeating its every nook and corner,
who wouldn't desire to join such
bunch of boosters? Why, even as, far
as | am from Sedgwick county (down
in the peninsular state, only a few
hours ride from Key West, Fla.,) the
very prospective l have been describ-
ing almost gives me the Sedgwick
county fever! And why? Because
| was always fond of boosting and
boosters.
Words are inadequate to express
the pride felt in reading and re-
reading the high compliments that
nave been showered upon the Grit
Advocate lnder its present manage
ment, by persons competent to Judge
and who belong to a class not given
to flattery. Among other things
wish to congratulate the Grit-Advo-
cate and its. esteemed editor" upon
the installation of q linotype, the
greatly improved typographical ap-
pearance of the paper, especially the
head lines and much better press
work. Boosting breeds the improve
ment habit-and habits of the right
kind are the things that count.
