TIMBERLAKE URGES FARMERS TO CO.
OPERATE WITH DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE

Washing, D. c., June 5, 1918.
Mr.. P. R. Mcdowell, Editor,
The Grit-Advocate,
Julesburg, Colorado.
My dear Mr.. McDowell-The sea-
son is approaching when an urgent
call will come from the farmers of
your locality for additional farm la
Dor, that is necessary to harvest their
crops. I know this, from the many
letters I have already received, ad-
vising of the shortage Of local labor.
They have been urged to attempt to
raise a maximum of crops this year,
in order to meet the great demands
that this country will be called upon
to patriotically meet.
This demand for labor, already
coming, has led me to address to you
this letter of information, in the hope
that through your paper you might
acquaint your readers with the efforts
that are being put forth here by the
United States Employment Service,
Department of Labor, through its
Farm Labor Division, in cooperation
with the Department of Agriculture.
If, in your section, there sh 'uld ap-
pear to be a shortage Of skilled farm
laborers, it might be met through CO.

+. A. SMITH PURCHASES

Mr.. T. A. Smith purchased this
week from the Julesburg Motor Co., a
new Ford Sedan for the comfort of his
numerous land buyers. Mr.. Smith
feels with others, that when the fine
ly finished, enclosed body of the Ford
Sedan with its heavy cushioned seats
and tasty upholstering is added to the
Ford dependablity, he has car that
will please those who ride with him.
This is another one of Mr.. Smiths up
to-date ideas that is bringing him the
success which is his in the real estate
business.

As it is well known that our coun.
try is Infested with spies" and spe-
cial agents sent by Germany. %
have in numerous instances ,"n {
industrial plants. our eleva.srs aEi
our supplies. in order to r 'Cc.. our re-
sources for the furnishing of the neces-
sary material and supplies to our ar
my in Europe and to our Allies, il
would be well for the people Of every
county and community to realize at
once the seriousness of the situation.
Our entire army and every available
man who has been called under the Sc.
lective service law. who has not been
deferred on account of dependencies
or Industrial occupation. has already
been called or will soon be called for
service in France. We have no regu-
lar army at home to protect our home
industries. In many Of the states.
notably in Nebraska. the people Of
several communities have organised
themselves in home military organiza-
tion and are drilling and perfecting
themselves for military duty in case
of need. This is a wise and necessary
plan, for by so doing, they are ready
at moments call, to defend and pro-
tect their property.
Sometime ago IA movement was
made to organize a home guard in
Sedgwick county, but so far nothing
has been accomplished, and with the
abundant crops now about to be har-
vested and sent to our boys across the
water, it is time that our people should
consider the situation, for if our crops
are destroyed, the farmer will lose the
fruit of his labor, and cur boys in the
service cannot be supplied with food.
Every able bodied man between the
ages of eighteen and fifty, should
join a home military organization, the
men should be drilled regularly and
armed for services in case of neces-
sity. The very fact of the existence
of such an organization in this COM
munity will be a potent factor in de-
terring evil designing persons from at
tempting the destruction of property.
1t would also be of benefit to the
younger men who may later be called
to do service for the country, because
they will then have learned the rudi-
ments of military drill and formation,
thus giving them valuable advantage
when they are called to the service
Every citizen owes it to himself and to
the government to organize for tbs
protection of his home and property.
1t will be easy to get competent men
to drill such an organization. and no
time should be lost in perfecting
strong organization in Sedgwick

STIRRING RED-BLOOI BATTLE FEATURE
 OF PICTURE
MOST THRILLING FIGHT BE- TWEEN TWO MEN EVER STAGED FOR MOVIES TAKES PLACE IN GREAT PLAY "WREN A MAN SEES RED," EAGLE
An authority says:

All authority says
 After a man has viewed When a Man Sees Red which will be shown at the Eagle theater today, "he finds his fingernails have gripped the arms of his chair. and that his forehead is moist with the tenseness of the scenes. It is the kind of picture that words can not adequately describe. One must see this wonderful Dicturization of q strong mans emotions.
 q have seen William Farnum in some great pictures, but When Man Sees Red is great than any. I caa appreciate it's exactness of detail.
 And in that stirring, red-bloOGed battle for life, between two strong Eu- mans. all the emotions of the soul are stirred. I found myself with hands clinched roofing for Luther, with all the excitement of a man at the ring side yelling for his favorite fighter.
 T don't believe there ever was made a picture with such a fight between two humans. It is terribly real--its terribleness fairly makes one quiver. No enc but a human graveyard cou;G help but be stirred to his innermost self by its climax.
 William Fox has made possible and William Farnum nas enacted the most thrilling, the most dramatic photo drama of the age. Its gripping effects will cause a sensation among motion picture lovers"
