BUSINESS MEN HAVE BUSY
SESSION DURING LUNCHEON

I At the regular MONDAY luncheon
held at the Brown Hotel Cafe yester-
day, the matter of the coming chautau-
qua to be held in Julesburg probably
during the month of June, was dis
cussed. Upon a motion, seconded and
unanimously carried, Chairman B. D.
Parker, Jr., was authorized to appoint
a committee of five to have charge of
making the preliminary arrangements
for this years event The committee
will be announced at next weeks
gathering.
The proposition of the bad condition
of the river bridge south of Julesburg
was again brought up and discussed
at yesterdays gathering. and the
chairman instructed to notify the per-
manent road committee of the Busi-
ness Mems Association to confer with
the board of county commissioners in
regard to the matter, relative to the
early remedying of the situation.
Postmaster Finley Dye made brief
report on the War Savings stamps
campaign, stating that this commun-
ity had not come up to their allotted

stated that our quota was $4,000
worth of stamps to be purchased dur
ing the year, and only little over
one-tenth of that amount had been
purchased. 1t was presumed, how
ever, that The Liberty Loan drive had
retarded the sale of stamps to some
extent, and that the results would
show up better little later.

talk, stating that the cleanup cam
paign was now on in the bond drive,

in subscribing to the Third Liberty
Loan, would be asked to do so by the
committee.

cheon.

OF HOLLAND WAS
A SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT

The Windmills of Holland, the op-
eretta in two acts given under the aus
pices of the Standard Bearers, at
loves hall last Tuesday evening was
splendid success, and the large audi
ence present considered the attraction
one of the best ever staged here by
home talent. Great credit is due Mrs.
Lee Erb, who so ably directed the op-
eretta, and all those who participated
rendered their respective parts in an
admirable manner. The solos, duets
and choruses were all we'll rendered,
which met the hearty approval of the
audience. Those who failed to attend
The Windmills of Holland, missed
real good entertainment. The Jules
burg, orchestra assisted in the accom-
paniments, and rendered several Sc
lectlons during the intermissions
A neat sum was realized from the
entertainment, which will be used for
the benefit of the Belgian Relief
fund.
