Influenza claimed its first victim
from among our residents on Monday
morning about 5 o'clock after a few
hours Of severe suffering from pneu-
monia, when Airs. Sallie Cannon, wife
OF John Cannon and daughter OF Mrs.
Mary r. JONES, died at the home of
her brother in Selbyville. Robert
JONES. Mrs. Cannon had been EN-
plOyed in the store of Crosby & Hill,
in Wilmington, until last Tuesday,
a week ago, when she came home with
a slight attack of influenza. Not be-
ing i'll enough by its effects to be bed
fast, she continued her usual habits,
and on Thursday noon went to Selby-
vile to attend her brother and his
wife, who were both suffering from
the malady. On Sunday pneumonia
developed and death occurred early
on Monday morning Her body was
later brought 10 her home in Mills
boro, and the funeral and burial took
place on Wednesday
An open air rally was held on Sat
urday afternoon to boost the sale of
Liberty bonds The first speaker, a
man who has seen front line service,
delivered a spirited address which
was followed by two other speakers.
Epidemic influenza makes the circum-
stances rather adverse to selling the
bonds, but as Millsboro has always
gone over the top with all of her pa
triotic undertakings, this too will
reach its quota. and prove to our
boys we are willing to provide the
sinews of the war.
Sunday was to have been Rally

HOBOES WILL BE PINCHED

All indications point that it will be
better for hoboes and suspicious look
ing characters to give Julesburg a
wide berth, if they don't wish to be
hailed into police court. At the reg
ular meeting of the city council last
Monday evening the council gave Mar
shall Templeton full authority to pulp
all hoboes and vagrants, and if neces-
sary to provide hard labor for these
undesirable visitors OF the privilege of
dieting on bread and water in the city

move upon the part Of the council, as
there is no reason whatsoever that our

no other purpose in view bu: proving

THE COUNTY FAIR

One of the most beneficial institu-
tions for a county is a permanent
county fair, and there is movement
now being agitated for an association
to be formed in Sedgwick county.
The Grit-Advocate believes this to be
the practical way to get the best re-
suits. In this event permanent fair
grounds could be secured and build
ings erected to house the exhibits,
stock, etc.
The farmers and business men alike
should get behind the county fair and
make it big success. If an associ-
alton is to be formed it is not too
early to perfect its organization. and
get the ball started to rolling towards
big county fair to be held next fall
We believe it would be good plan
to have meeting in the near future,

mary arrangements for the organize

FARM MACHINERY

Repair your farm machinery before
the rush of summers work is on you.
Many costly break-downs, and serious
delays may be avoided by putting the
farm implements in good running
shape before going into the field.
By attending to this work during
your slack season, will save you con-
siderable time in a year when labor
is scarce, and the transportation of re-
pairs and other commodities are gen.
orally slow.
So important is it for farm machin-
cry to be in high state of effectiveness
this spring, that state agricultural
boards, colleges, and councils of de-
fense have joined in advocating farm
implement inspection week.

tion of an association composed of citi-
zens of all parts of Sedgwick county.
The County Agricultural Agent will
be of great service in looking after the
exhibits, and the formers in the coun-
ty will no doubt lend their cooperation
along this line. The exhibits should
be made the big feature of the fair,
but it will also be necessary to provide
for high grade attractions in the
amusement line, in order that there
be entertainment for all. Permanent
grounds and buildings are also of vi
tai Importance to successful county
fair-and Sedgwick, county should not
be content until this is affected
The matter of county fair has been
up for discussion recently at the noon
luncheon of the Julesburg business
men, and further discussion is to be
had at next Wednesdays luncheon
We hope to see some action taken
which will result in a permanent faii
association, in which event the citi,
zens of Sedgwick county will receive
mutual benefits.
Let's commence boosting right nov
for big county fair next fall, ant
while We are doing it, get at the mat
ter in business-like manner by or
ganizing permanent fair association
looking forward to the further pro

A JUST AND LASTING PEACE

The essential principles that must
underlie peace. rs stated By President
Wilson. should be constantly kept in
mind. They show the greatness and
unselfishness and justice of America =
war aims. Briefly they are:
l) The final settlement of this wal
must be based upon essential justice
and each particular case so adjusted a
will most likely bring permanent
peace.
(2) Peoples and Provinces are not
to be bartered about as if they were
mere chattels and pawns in game
(3D Every territorial settlement
must be made in the interest of and for
the benefit of the populations convern
ed and not by way of compromising
claims of rival States.
(4) National aspirations must BE-
accorded all the satisfaction possible
without introducing new or perpetr-
ating old elements of discord.

GRASSHOPPERS

Farmers in the grasshoppers pest
district which was formed last sum-
mer, should. be making plans for the
fight against them this summer. The
grasshoppers were here last summer,
and will be again this summer if unit
ed effort among the farmers is not
practiced.
The County Agricultural Agent is
the pest inspector, and is making the
grasshopper eradication one of the
main projects for the year. The CO.
operation of every man in the district
is necessary to make it a success, and
the County Agricultural Agent has
outlined the work with this in view.
History
The grasshoppers that matured last
year laid their eggs, commencing
about the middle of August, and ex-
tending through the remaining warn.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1918-03-07

cellent results in egg destruction. This
should be at depth of at least two
inches, the ground thoroughly stirred,
and the egg clusters broken and ex-
posed. This allows birds and other
enemies, as well as temperature to de-
stroy them.
Young orchards may be protected
by thoroughly spraying the trees with
arsenate of lead at the rate of lbs.
of powder to pounds of paste, to 50
gallons of water.
The eggs which escape destruction
by the plow or disc, will hatch out
during the warm spring days. These
will have to be trapped or poisoned as
is seen most profitable.
Methods of trapping and poisoning
will be considered later in the season.
The important thing for the farmer
to do at this season of the year is to
destroy the eggs by plowing, discing
or narrowing all the waste land on the
farm. Farmers having alfalfa or
clover will not only destroy the hop
per's eggs by discing or renovating,
but will greatly increase the yields by
such cultivation.
Farmers, let's all get behind this
grasshopper drive. 1t may be YOU
didn't have any hoppers last year, but
the chances are there were eggs laid
on your waste land. If you don't
practice the preventive measures you
may be invaded this year. "A stitch
in time saves nine" So let's get
ahead of the game, and swat the
grasshopper.

COMMON PRAYER

Almighty dollar in whom we trust;
Most precious and dear is thy name.
May thou come quickly unto us;
Or our prayers will be in vain.
Give us this day more than yesterday;
Pay unto us the money you owe us,
If we owe YOU any money forgive us,
And you shall have praise for same.
For if you cannot forgive our debts
We will not speculate with you again.
Lead us not into your schemes;
But be ye gently led into ours,
Deliver us not from our money
Hustle and get more money for us,
For in so doing you will be our friend,
And we will speak well of your power.

BINDER rwINE FOR HARVEST

BINDER TWINE FOR HARVEST
Whatever the amount of grain acre
age in the United States this year, ar
rangements provide for 4 plentiful
supply of twine for binding the har-
vest. And early in March-possibly
sooner-farmers will know what the
twine will cost The Food Admins.
tration recognizes the desire of grain
growers to know as far in advance rs
possible all the factors affecting their
business. OF these, the supply of
binder twine is one of the most i'm
pOrtant.
I'VE are getting bi-weekly reports
from every binder twine plant in the
United States," says the Food Admin
istration. These reports show the
progress of every establishment is
making. We know the capacity of
every plant, also the supply of raw
material on hand and available. The
mills are running at a rate that will
take care of all needs in prospect, but
in case of necessity, production can be
speeded up"
Through agreement with all binder
twine plants the Food Administration
controls all sisal from Yucatan and
distributes it to manufacturers accord
ing to their requirements. The manu-
facturer agrees that he will manufact-
ure all Yucatan sisal secured for him
into binder twine-unless released by
the Food Administration for other pur-
poses-and that he will sell at price
which will return to him only the cost
of the raw material, plus the cost of
manufacture, plus reasonable profit,
the reasonableness of which is to be
determined by the Food Administra-
tion.
There will be sufficient publicity of
prices to enable the consumer to know
what he should pay for twine at re-
tail Although the business will be
handled through the regular trade
channels as in the past, and from the
users point of view. government con-
troll will be invisible. its effect will be
felt Under the regulations no op-
portunity EXISTS for spectators to fat
ten on a heavy demand for binder
twine so essential in the harvesting of
cereal grains. Nor has any ster

distribution l,en left to chance.

days of fall, at least to the middle of
October. These eggs were laid be-
tween one-half and two inches below
the surface of the ground, in land
which was not under cultivation, so
you will find the eggs this spring
along ditch banks, old roads, roadsides
fences, alfalfa fields and similar
places. The Matching of these eggs
will begin this spring when the warm
days of April and May come and con-
tinue over an extended period. After
Matching, the young grasshoppers
force their way to the surface of the
soil. For the first sixty or ninety
days the young hoppers have no wings
and stay close to the place where they
were Matched. When the hoppers are
ninety days old, they are fully matured
with wings. They are able to take
flight and migrate to new fields tn de-
posits their eggs for the next years
crop.
| Control
To control the grass hoppers, we
may consider the two main heads
Prevention and Remedy.
Under the first, attention must be
given to prevent Matching and lessen
egg disposition. The latter may be
brought about by clean cultivation
long ditch banks and fence rows. This
will expose the hoppers to natural en-.
emies and weather conditions, which
will reduce their numbers and cause
the remainder to oviposit in areas
likely to be cultivated, and so result
in subsequent destruction of the
! eggs.
Exposure of the eggs to air, sun
shine, natural enemies and weather
conditions is very effective in hopper
control. The operation should be per
formed before the eggs hatch. 1t il
therefore an excellent plan in lat,
fall or early spring, to plow all ditcl
banks, fence rows and roadside
where grasshopper eggs are known t,
be deposited. Flowing should be a
least eight inches deep. This will
bury the eggs sufficiently to prohibi
the most of the young hoppers from
making an exit through the soil sur
face upon Matching. In alfalfa field
and other places that capnot be plow
ed, narrowing or discing will give ex

are to raise the crops, speed the fac

One of the most urgent needs at
this time is more houses in Julesburg
Every day sees a number of persons
in search of houses to rent-but they
cannot be found, and the result is that
the growth of our city is unfortunate
ly being retarded. A number of new
residences were built in this city last
year and this spring good many
more will be erccted-but at the pres
ent time it is certainly next to an i'm
possibility for person to rent house
in Julesburg. This situation will have
to be taken care of in some way by
our progressive citizens, who are in
terested in seeing our city make the
growth. which it is justly entitled to

SORGHUM

Quite number of the farmers on
the table land are considering the
growing of cane for sorghum. This
would undoubtedly be sure and pro-
fitable crop. Cane grows well on the
dry lands, does not require any more
cultivation than corn, and is a great
drouth resistant crop.
The seed and pulp from such crop
would be very valuable by-products.
1t is quite essential that standard
ized, early maturing variety be select
ed for the seeding If standard var
iety only is planted more uniform
sorghum can be produced, and conse-
quently better market would be in
sured. Early maturing would be an
essential feature in this section, on
account of the early frosts.
Capital for the putting up of a sor-
yhum mill has been offered by a local
man if enough acreage is planted to
insure a campaign this fall
