Let's consider this community well

future and join hands in the work Of
making Julesburg bigger and better
place in which to live. The ball has
commenced to roll towards progressive
lines-new buildings are going up;
new and permanent homes are being
constructed in different parts Of the
town; new enterprises are being
launched, which mean more citizens
for this community.
Up-to-date methods of community

today must keep in line with the pro-

that competition will force them into

show the proper progressive spirit,
both in his individual business activity

Former Citizen is
Victim of Paralysis

A. H. Miller, or Judge" Miller as
he is familiarly known by his friends,
was stricken with paralysis last Fri
day afternoon and now lies in 4 pre-
carious condition at his home on west
Main street,
Mr.. Miller, who is rs years Of age,
has been in failing health for some
time, never having fully recovered
from an attack Of influenza from
which he suffered last winter. While
pumping bucket of water in the yard
at his home Friday afternoon about
six o'clock, he suddenly fell and was
found unconscious by his wife few
minutes later. His right side was
found to be paralyzed. Hopes are
still entertained that he may rally,
but owing to his advanced age and
weakened condition his complete re-
covery is doubtful.
Judge Miller came to Pierce about
= year ago from Julesburg where he
was prominent citizen for years,
having served several terms as county
judge Of Sedewick county, in order to
be near his son, George P. Miller,
who had purchased farm in this
vicinity. During his residence in
Pierce, Mr.. Miller has taken an active
interest in public affairs, especially
in school and church work, and has
made host Of friends who will learn
with sincere regret Of his serious
illness.-Pierce (Colo.) Leader.

New Depot is Need.
ed for Julesburg

Painters have finished re-painting
to Union Pacific depot here. We won
der how much longer Julesburg will
have to get along with the present in
adequate depot, which, candidly speak
ing. is a discredit to this progressive
community. During this reconstruc-
tion period the government could in
deed set good example by construct
ing a new depot in Julesburg. which
without question is much needed. A
united movement upon the part of the
JulesburY Community Club for new
depot would not be bad step. What
do you say?
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1919-05-08

Occasionally you will find some per
son in Julesburg finding fault with
various public propositions which are
brought forward for the improvement
of the community. These people may
rightfully be termed "knsckers." Ev-
cry town has this class of citizens,
their sole purpose seemingly to be that
of keeping the town back instead of
using their efforts in pushing it for
ward.
We will agree that there are many
things needed in the Improvement line
for Julesburg, but we cannot under
stand how any individual or individu-
ais expect this community to progress
if the policy of knocking was kept in
the front ranks. However, we are glad
to state that the knockers in Jules
burg and community are in the minor.
ity and that we have big majority
of citizens who are ready at all times
to boost instead of knocking.
No man or set of men can hope to
run the town to suit everybody, but
we believe that those who are taking a
hand in the upbuilding of Julesburg
are doing their best to make this 9
bigger and better town. We will agree
that there are mistakes made-people
would not be human if they did not
make mistakes, but the best way for
the citizens of this community to pre-
vent mistakes is to help with their CO.
operation and advise in all matters Of
public welfare. If you see something
in Julesburg that needs attention don't
go off saying: "The Town officials are
not doing their duty" 1t would be the
best policy to call their attention to it
and offer suggestions. Help them all
you can for you are at the same time
helping yourself. We have a whole
lot of room here in Julesburg for citi-
zens who boost, but there isn't foot
Of ground in which the nocker or the
fault finder may find a welcome here
An organization which should re-
ceive the hearty cooperation of every
citizen of Julesburg and community is
the Julesburg Community Club. We
ask you the fair question: "Are you q
member Of the Community Club" If
not, why not! The Community Club
is an active organization working on
various matters Of public welfare and
the business man or citizen who is not
doing his share in putting this Club
over is not showing the proper spirit
toward the progress Of Julesburg.
At the present time there are about
thirty-five members of the Julesbure
Community Club and you will agree
with US that there should at least be
vice this number to make fair show
ing. The citizen who has any interest

NEWSY NOTES
FROM SEDGWICk
co. HIGH SCHOOL

Dr.. Wilcox, who conducted the Wei
fare campaign at the Federated church
last week, spoke to the students Mon
day. His talk was very interesting
and was greatly enjoyed by the stu
dents.
One Of the most thrilling events of
the past week was debate last Wed
nesday between the girls and the boys
of the Sophomore class. The subject
was Resolved, that Women Should be
given the vote in the United States"
The speakers for the affirmative were
Helen Lewton, Margaret Capnsll,
Louise Penney and Clara Carlson. and
those for the negative were Elmer
Cole, Harvey Bower, Tom French and
Vaughan Labaree. Needless to say,
the speakers on both sides delivered
themselves of some brilliant oratory,
but those on the negative were esps-
cAally enthusiastic. Nevertheless, the
judges, Rev. Inman, Miss Gallagher
and Judge Austin rendered their decis-
ion in favor of the girls, the two av-
erages being SO and rs. So far as S.
C. H. S. is concerned then, women
would have equal suffrage.
Last Friday was very pleasant
day for the students as they had the
pleasure of listening to = talk given
by Sgt. Guy Smelser, who has recent
ly returned from France. He brought
with him a number of souvenirs of
= the war, which made what he had to
say even more interesting. For many
reasons we are glad he came and hope
to hear him again.
All last week 4 fierce and bloody
war was waged, the Seniors, Sopho-
mores and the Juniors-Freshmen be-
ing the combatants. The annual flag
fight took place in its most severe
form, on the campus, in the building
and on it. It is no telling how many
Casualties would have been recorded
if the board had not interfered to en-
force peace. Now, however, we are oil
living quietly together with no remin-
der of the conflict except bumps and
bruises, and a battered Senior flag
floating from the water tank.
Tuesday of this week was hard luck
dav at school. Some curious and won
derful costumes appeared in the halls
Of s. C.H. S., but they did not appear
for long.
After this week there is only one
,,or. week Of real school work. Inc
echool is running at top speed, ana al
.uh;sct. will be finisred up in cred.
fable manner, despite our long "Flu
vacation last fall.
The Seniors are working hard on
their class play "A Scrap OF Paper
which will be given Monday and Tues
d.v of Commencement week.

Pleasing to All

ties of the Federated church, who win
