I The program was opened with three
selections by the high school orchestra
which were, very we'll received. The

ssong America by the audience.
Louis w. Vasaly was the speaker of
the evening. He expressed great
pleasure at seeing such large gather
ing for this program and he comment
ed On the fact that all were wearing
small American flags. He said he
hoped that this was indicative not
only Of an outward show of patrio-
.tism but that they had patriotism in
their hearts, which, he said, could be
shown only by their words and deeds.
Patriotism he said, is not confined
to any one nationality or religion, and
care should be exercised by everyone,
especially teachers, not to cause the
children % become prejudiced against
against any nationality or religion.
Mr.. Vasaly stated that evveyone
should stand by the president in the
present great crisis> regardless Of
political belief or nationality. He
expressed the belief that this country
is in need Of preparedness and said
that an appropriation has been made
for this purpose. He expressed him
self as favoring military training in
the public schools.
The program was closed with the
song "The Star Spangled Banner,'
by the audience, after which a short
social session was held in the gymna-
siu1n, light refreshments being served.

LIVE STOCK in SEDGWICK COUNTY
E. c.
,By E. c. HARRIS

crops suited for human food may be
produced. The argument is that the
British Isles can better rely upon the
United States and other cattle pro-
ducing countries where land is cheap
er and range more abundant It is
argued that dressed beef can be ad-
vantageously imported; that under the
circumstances it will be q real econ
omy to do SO.
And 20 it is that the British Isles
will promptly reduce its cattle supply,
if we are correctly advised and there
seems no doubt of it, and that the mar
ket Of the United States beef produc-
ers is increased proportionately.
Time will come when these pastures
and meadows to be broken up must be
again seeded and the fertility restored
be means Of herds and flocks, but that
will be in the days to come after the
war, and the replenishing process will
be slow indeed.
That the cattle stocks Of Germany
and France and other European ma
tions affected by the war are being
steadily diminished has had Official
recognition and in the United States
there is every indication that we are
barely holding our own. The prices
available to the beef producer induces
him to sell closely. The cost Of feed
has reached such high plane that the
cattle producer inclines to dispose of
his surplus and hold his stock to
minimum. 1t induces many to dis
pose entirely of their herds in order
to take advantage Of the present
available prices for hay and grains.
The farmer is willing for the time be-
ing to draw and draw heavily upon the
fertility of his soil, that he may take
advantage of these alluring prices.
What does it all mean? 1t means
the depicting of our cattle supply. Or
if not actual depletion, it prevents the
increase Of which the world now
stands SO much in need.
With this condition everywhere
recognized and with the appetite for
beef being encouraged among the men
composing the armies of all the war
ring countries, it is inevitable that
there will be a permanent and growing
inclination to beef consumption after
the war The readers do not need to
be told that beef consumption at pres
ent in America is being held to mini
mum level at the urgent request of the
food conservation department. Meat
less days are becoming more frequent
and we conform to the request the
more cheerfully because Of the high
prices we are compelled to pay over
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1917-12-20

the counter. But when these meatless
days are no longer demanded and when
prices settle little, how eagerly we
will anticipate the juicy steaks and
roasts. We will not hesitate to graft
fy our appetites and beef consumption
in America will Tremendously expand.
1t is apparent to any observer that .
decrease in meat prices of 20 per cent
would increase beef production fifty
per cent were the food conserver's re-
strictions to be removed, as in time
they will be.
So the producer Of beef cannot be
otherwise than encouraged by the
prospect for the demand that will con-
tinue not alone through the duration
of the war, but for that long period of
reconstruction that will follow in its
wake.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1917-12-20
CATTLE

The day Of the big herd is past in
Eastern Colorado. The large ranch Of
few years ago, are divided into small
ranches and farms. We are now in
the midst Of q great reconstruction
period in the Live Stock proposition
in this part Of the country. We are
at the place where we must keep
fewer in number of a better quality
and take better care Of them.
The time is past when we thought
one half ton of hay was too much to
the head to go into winter with; we
need nearer two tons now.
Land is steadily advancing in price
and the open range is a thing Of the
past, hence the necessity of keeping
fewer and Of better quality,
Every farmer must keep 4 few cat
tie especially the dry land farmers
l thing As q side line 10 to 20 good
mich cows on every eighty acre farm
in the valley would be a mighty good
proposition as they will more than pay
the running expenses of the farm.
Although the price of good breeding
cattle seems high at the present time
there is nothing to indicate that they
will be any cheaper for a good many
years.
The cattle shipped out of the county
this year brought over 100000.
Horses and Mules
Sedgwick County farmers and
anchmen are justly proud of their
horses and mules and this is no small
industry in this county. Horse
buyers say we have the best horses in
all the territory they cover.
There have been 1000 horses and
mules valued at $2s0,OOO shipped out
of the county in the last year. One
only needs to take q trip up the val
ley to see plenty of real draft teams,
teams that would look good on trans
fer wagon in any large city.
Hogs
This is an ideal hog country, espec-
tally in the valley where alfalfa is
grown. We can raise hogs cheap on
alfalfa and very little grain as hogs
are comparatively free from diseases
here. This industry is fast coming
to the front as it is a money maker.
There have been over fifty carloads of
hogs shipped out of this county within
the last year which represents about
$125, 900.
Sheep
The sheep industry in this county
is limited to feeding proposition
which is only in its infancy, but is
bound to grow with an increased acre.
age of alfalfa.
There is no reason why, with the
building of more silos the beef and
dairy output of this county could not
be doubled in very few years. The
live stock interests of this county
have realized over 100000 for the
year just closing and we still have the
goose that lays the golden egg.

First Christmas Celebration

The birth of Christ was not original
ly observed at this time of the year,
It was not until there was any attempt
at celebration of the event at all,
and then for 300 years or more it was
celebrated at various times in the year
by the Christmas IN different parts of
the world. Some chose the 1st and
some the 9Th of January, others the
29th of March, the time of the Jewish
ssover, while still othe:.. observed
the day on the 29th of September, the
feast of the tabernacles. The 10Th of
April and the goth of May were also
kept as the birthday of Christ. By
the fifth century, however, the 25th
Of December was the day generally
adopted.

Safeguarding the Beef Supply

1t becomes more and more evident
each week that there is well-founded
concern in regard to the maintenance
of the beef supply. Information is
current to the effect that in the Brit
ish Isles the government has decreed
that it is more important that the
acres available for crops serve the
more immediate needs Of the country
in this extraordinary time by produc-
ing grains for human food than the
maintenance of the herds. We are in
formed that three million of acres are
being put under the plow-sod that
has in many cases never known the
plow before that have rails
ed grass and grass only for genera
tions, and meadows of long standing
will be converted into titled fields that
