offered. The winners will be the ones
who hustle the hardest and do not
overlook an opportunity to secure the
votes by clipping out the coupons
printed in each issue of the Grit-Ad-
vocate and collecting subscription and
subscription accounts.
Your friends will help you if you
ask them. Some have already demon
strated their willingness by nominal
ing you. Ask others for their help
right away before some one else does.
Get busy with the telephone and tell
them that you expect their assistance,
so they will know that you want their
help and will not give it to others.
The fact that a large number of
candidates have entered should not
frighten you. 1t only betters your
chance of winning. The more that
enter, the easier it will be for you to
win, by the assistance of your friends.
GET BUSY at once and KEEP BUSY
to the end.
Nominations continue to come in to
the campaign manager up to the very
hour of going to press. The first Of
ficial count of the number of votes
received by each candidate will be
made next Wednesday at 6 p. m. and

at once and get all the subscriptions
you can before that time so as to run
up your total vote as high as possible

lively untouched.

has exceeded our expectations but
there is no doubt that there are many
yet to be nominated, showing the
widespread interest being manifest
cd in the campaign.

paign and win the Ford Touring Car.
1t is just possible that the winner Of
the car has not been nominated, and
you may be the winner. if you work
hard enough after sending your NOM
nation to the campaign manager. If
you do not care to enter yourself, send
the name Of one Of your friends you
would like to see get the car. Then

SPECIAL PROGRAM
TO BE HELD
FEBRUARY y
IMPORTANT SUBJECTS ARE
DISCUSSED YESTERDAY
Committee is Appointed to Make
Plans For Special Program 70
be Held on WashingtOn's
Birthday by Business Men.

Are they of benefit to this commu-
nifty? What is your answer? We re-
fer to the Monday luncheons held
each Wednesday at the Brown Ho-
tel cafe. Our answer is that there
never was more beneficial enter
prise launched in Julesburg. and al
our citizens should manifest an inter-
est in the MONDAY luncheOns.
Yesterday the table at the luncheon
was not as crowded as upon some pre-
yous occasions, but there were enough
progressive business men in attend
ance to bring forth very lively and
interesting after-dirner discussion.
The management of the Brown Ho-
tel cafe is making an amiable repu-
tatioE for the "feed" spread before
the hungry" visitors at the weekly
luncheons. and yesterdays sumptu-
Gus meal was no exception. Mrs. Ire
ma Young, manager of this popular
cafe, is to be commended in the SPLEEN
did service which she is giving to our
business men at the weekly gather
ings.
Among the subjects discussed after
the neal had been disposed of, was
that of special program for Wash
jngton's birthday. and after short
discussion it was moved, seconded and
unanimously carried that the chair
man appoint committee of three
to devise plans for special program
to be held on Washington's birthday,
and make report at next weeks
gathering.
The matter of an unloading dock
at the depot was again brought up,
I and secretary R. J. Dobell, in behalf
of the committee recently appointed
to investigate this matter, suggested
that petition he circulated among
the business men of our city, same to
DE then duly presented to the railroad
company. The committee had pre-
pared blank form of petition, which
was passed around the table and gen.
orally signed by all present at yester-
days gathering. 1t is thought by the
committee that this action will bring
enough pressure to bear upon the IN
ion Pacific Railroad CO.. that they
will in the near future install an I'M
! loading dock at the freight depot in
our city as a necessary convenience
to the company's patrons at this
point.
Judge G. H. Austin made few sug-
gestions along the line whether or
not the business men would think it
advisable to get behind movement
to launch the sorghum industry in
this county and to encourage the rails
ing of cane. Mr.. Austin remarked that
he observed that this was being TAX
en- up in several places in Nebraska.
and thought perhaps the plan might
prove beneficial here. After dis
cussion of the proposition, Mr.. Aus
tin was appointed as a committee of
one by chairman Parker to interview
County Agricultural Agent w. J. Oft
in regard to the matter and furnish
report at next weeks meeting
Other matters were discussed, and
when the time for adjournment ar
rived it was the conclusion of very
interesting session dealing with prob.
lens of public welfare to this com
munity
Don't forget next Wednesdays
luncheon. Be on hand and bring
friend. Get into the game for big
ger and better Julesburg.

GERMAN CONDITIONS
ABSOLUTELY AWFUL y

LONDON, Feb. 19.-Of exceptional
interest is the latest review of condi
tons in Germany by a we'll inform
ed authority. Conditions in Berlin
at the end of 1917 are described as
absolutely awful"
Another informant, woman who
visited Berlin in November and De
cember, writes to us:
"The lower middle and lower
classes in Berlin were past caring
what happens so long as they have
at once. They were suffering horribly,
and the only word to describe condl-
tons in Berlin is famine. Berlin was
dark, cold and unspeakably wretch
ed.
For most people there was hardly
any light, warmth, clothing or boots,
and a terrible lack of food, while the
linen worn by both sexes was abomi-
rably dirty because there was no
soap. Another significant factor was
that able bodied men were prohibited
from returning to the capital from
the front so as to prevent revolu-
ton.
THE people hate the government.
To further the last war loan the whole
place was plastered with pictures of
Won Hindenburg, but within few
hours all had been torn down. I
went to a cinema which was crowd
ed with soldiers who burst into roars
of laughter at the sight of the crown
prince. also heard from very good
source that the government did not
yet know how they would feed the
people during March, April and May +"
Children are the greatest sufferers
They show serious signs of underfeed-
ing and delicacy. The decline in the
number of children must be causing
great anxiety to the German govern
ment. Millions of young people are
being killed or permanently incapac-
itated for useful work, and there is
an alarming decrease in the birth rate,
especially in the large towns.
One of the most significant features
is the general decline of commercial
and national morality. Calls of patrf>
otism and the orders Of the govern
ment are disregarded profiteering,
theft, bribery and corruption are rife
in all classes.

ASK REIMBURSEMENT
FOR HENNIG Who WAS
TRIED AS A TRAITOR

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-An appeal to
congress to reimburse to the extent
o. $4,000 Paul Hennig, the mechanical
expert who was on trial for his life,
charged with treason for three weeks
in Brooklyn, and then was acquitted
at the request of the district attorney
who was prosecuting him, will prob
ably be framed by friends and neigh"
bors, whg are to give him a testimon-
ial dinner and declare to him their be-
lief in his loyal Americanism.
AS soon as Hennig was pronounc,
ed not guilty, his friends planned the
dinner. Sherman L Meier, druggist
OF. the neighborhood, is to be toast
master.
But the friends realized that din
FER would not be of any particular
value to man who had been obliged
tc mortgage his home and to spend
bis last cent in defending himself
against charge that even the gov
eminent admitted was not justified
So theS conceived the plan of asking
congress to make amends financially
to the sufferer. This can be done in
proper legal fashion, according to Hen
nig's attorney.
This entirely innocent man is the
loser in salary, counsel fees and in
cidental expenses to the extent oh
$5,0OO," said Hennig's attorney yester,
terday, "in addition to the mental
strain he was under and the damage
done to his good name as a loyal
All of Hennig's savings are gone,
and his cottage at No. IA Helen ave-
rue, South Ozone Park, is mortgaged
tt his father-in-law, who raised on it
the money to save the mechanical
expert from the death penalty.
This little house was crowded yes
terday by persons who called to
congratulate Hennig-who is a Ger
man born but naturalized American
on his vindication.

General Burleson. announced "Its
practlcablllty Is TO be assured before
tie establishment of the route. Once

nent service.
Congress has appropriated 100000
for use in establishing aerial mali

service feasible and beyond expert
u ental stages.

SAYS MANY U-BOATS
ARE BEING REPAIRED

GENEVA, Switzerland, Feb. ia
Swiss engineer, employed for the last
ten months at the electrical works at
Kiel, who has recently returned, in
forms the Associated Press that the
Germans are making every effort to
conceal their submarine losses, espe-
cially from the navy, because of in
creased difficulty in mastering the
crews. He estimates the Germans lost
80 per cent. of their submarines dur
ing the time he was at Kiel.
Il saw score of submarines lined
up in the canal undergoing repairs"
he said. "They had been hit by depth
bombs, which the Germans seem to
fear greatly.
The engineer added that there had
been two serious mutinies at Kiel dur
ing 1917.
