GRIT.ADvOCATE DESIGNATED
AS OFFICIAL PAPER FOR 1918

At meeting of the board of Coun-
ty Commissioners held in this city
the first of the week the Grit-Advo-
cate was again designated as the Of
ficial county paper, for the year 1919.
1t will be the endeavor of this paper
to use its best efforts during the COM
ing year to give satisfactory service
to the county, as we have tried to do
during the past year. We fully ap-
preciate the action of the board Of
county commissioners in its recogni-
tion Of, the Grit-Advocate as the Off
cial paper for another year. With ten
times the circulation Of any other
newspaper published in Sedgwick
county, it is suffice to say that the
Grit-Advocate can discount its con-
temporary in the matter of giving
service to the largest number Of citi-
zens Of the county, a fact which was
no doubt fully realized by the board
of county commissioners.

: CLEAR THE RECORDS

Soldiers who have been undeserved-
ly, though technically branded on the
government records as "deserters, >
are to have the stigma removed wher.
ever possible. The aid of every loyal
citizen in Colorado is asked to see
that this is done.
Provost Marshal Saunders advises
the State Council of Defense that
hundreds of Colorado boys who ac-
tually answered the country's call are
put down in the records as desert
ers," because of numerous reasons.
For instance, the boy who had moved
away and enlisted in some other state
and made no reply to the question
marches down as "deserter." The
boy who registered under an assumed
name is "deserter." The boy who
received his QUESTIONABLE after he
had already enlisted, and who made no
reply is put down as a "deserter."
There are many reasons why loyal SOL
diers are misrepresented on the rec
ords.
"These stigmas must be removed" )"

ARMY UNIFORMS

Among the other problems of the
returning soldier and officer is that
Of civilian clothing. It is not gener-
ally understood that. the soldiers uni.
form must be returned to an army
depot within short time, in no evsnt
over four months, and that he Is sap-
piled with . franked label to make
the return. s.
In the case of an officer, though
he has purchased his uniform with his
own funds, he is not supposed to wear
it longer than reasonable time To
get home. and in any event not over
three months.
Under existing law the discharge of
the thousands of soldiers and officers
will bring great demand on tailors
for civilian suits, and unless watched
may work hardships on our returning
men at a time when they are not pre-
pared to meet the expense. .

The prices Of our farm machinery,

justed, and adjusted in q way that is

To do this to accomplish these ends

1t will require the closest cooperation
Of farmer and farmers. The old ad-
dage, "In union there is strength" /"
was never more applicable than now.
These changes are coming. Busi-
ness will be readjusted to its former
place, and prices will be altered. Or
ganized groups are already asking

modities. The farmers must be pre-
pared, must be prepared to suggest
and demand their rights in the coun-
ellis of the nations. To do this they
must organize, organize their efforts

Already great minds are struggling
with it. The man with money, the
poor man, the business man, the mer-
