and said: t'Sir, your order has been

President Wilson gave proof of his
lack of familiarity with some of the

The men were standing rigidly at at

and on the breasts of several were
pinned the ribbon of the Distinguished
Service Cross. The President smiled
genially as he approached these veter
ans and spoke to the first man on The
right Then passing on to the second
and third, he asked questions about
their living conditions and experiences
at the front, both he and the soldiers
apparently enjoying the interview. The
President suddenly stopped his ques
tioning abruptly. He had just noticed
that every man in the group except thu
one he was addressing continued t.

appeared rather startled at first, theI
stood perplexed for moment. Finally
he said: 81 don t know what command

forward one pace, faced to the left an(
commanded sharply "At easel!
The President semed much relieved
as the group relaxed and continued hi
short interviews with the men.

RANT, NEBR. TEAM TO PLAY
IN JULESBURG, SUN, JULY ~

The Grant, Nebr base ball team win
play the fast Julesburg Cubs on ths
local grounds south of the round house
next Sunday afternoon, July eth.
The Grant Team has the reputation
of being fast aggregation, and have
their sails set to cop off a game from
the Cubs, who have only been defeated
once this season out Of a total Of nine
games played.
Manager Smelser feels confident
that the Cubs will again come out vic
torious in next Sundays contest, and
will put the strongest lineup against
the lads from Nebraska. A good
game is promised to the fans. and no
doubt large crowd will be present
to witness the contest for honors on
the diamond by these two teams.
The local fans are indeed proud OF
the fast-going Cubs. and are confident
that they will hold their own with any
of the best amateur ball teams in the
states of Colorado and Nebraska.

JULESBURG CUBS EASILY DEFEAT
HMYOKE ATHLETES SUNDAY
DECISIVE SCORE OF 6 TO 2

With Bert Brian's good picthing
and his teamnateS playing wonder
full game of base ball. the Julesburg
Cubs easily defeated the Holyoke
Tigers on the Holyoke grounds last
Sunday afternoon by the score of 6
to 2.
Although Brian had not performed
on the mound this season. his work
in the box Sunday was admirable,
allowing only four scattered hits,
while the Cubs collected total Of
eight hits off Of Graves. the Denver
pitcher who twirled for Holyoke.
Brian was given splendid support by
his teammates, and at no time during
the contest did the Holyoke athletes
look dangerous.
In the first inning both sides were
retired without a chance of scoring
But in the second stanza the Cubs
knocked Graves all over the lot, scor-
ing three runs and the much touted
Denver twirler had an uphill grind
from then on. being given poor sup

throughout the contest, both in field

Again in the fourth the Cubs reg

the game con ice" However after
the Cubs collected two more runs in
the eighth the Holyoke aggregation
picked up courage and managed to
shove two runners over the plate,
which was followed by goose egg
for both teams in the ninth and de-
cisive victory for the fast Julesburg
Cubs, who it must be remembered
have only met defeat upon one occa-
sion this season. The Cubs simply
played much better brand of base
ball than Holyoke and were entitled
to the long end Of the score.
The stick work of Bruce Stafford
and Harry Brian for the Cubs was
a feature, Stafford securing four hits
in four times up and Brian secured
three safe clouts out Of four times
at bat. Following is the box score

FINEST PACKING PLANT IN THE UNITED
uunnummm uuNlIMu,,aM
STATES IS NOW BEING built IN OMAHA

Omaha has long been and no doubt
will continue long to he the logical
shipping point for live stock growers
in Western Nebraska and Colorado.
1t is readily accessible from the rail
road stock yards at every town in the
west end of Nebraska and eastern
Colorado, and stock trains are run over
three railroads from this part Of the
country directly into the Omaha
stock yards. That is why the Omaha
market has become household word
on every farm and ranch in this part
of Colorado and Nebraska.
A great new packing plant that
will largely increase if not double
the Importance of Omaha as live
stock market is now under course Of
construction and is approaching COM
pletion in the stock yards of that city.
1t is the last word in packing plants
and is as much up to the minute as a

been profuse in boosting stock com
panies, but concern that is really

like the Skinner Packing company. Is
entitled to the support of the press OF

Therefore. we admit it to our advertis-
ing columns and cheerfully give pub
licity to it's doings.
This packing plant will. as mat
ter of course. be under governments
inspection in every detail OF construc-
tion and operation. From a recent
issue of the Omaha Bee we quote
statements made by governmental in
spectors in the regular discharge OF
their duties, as follows:
"By request of the chief Of the
Bureau Of Animal Industry. Washing

customary for government experts to
examine new plants during construc-

asset to the railroad company's IN
terests here.
On last Tuesday Supt. Woodruff
and Division Engineer A. o. Jurdan
of Cheyenne, were visitors to Jules
burg, and Mayor G. Fl. Austin took
the park matter up with these off,
cials. The matter was gone into in de-
tail and these officials gave the
mayor the positive assurance that the
situation would be remedied in the
immediate future, by the installation
Of better water facilities, etc. Mayor
Austin in turn assured the officials
that in this event the Town Of Jules
burg would be glad to get busy at ones
and put the park into good condition
and give it the proper care.
In view Of the above trend Of events
t is now thought that the park mat
Ter will receive prompt attention,
which indeed will be pleasing to the
progressive citizens of this commun-
tv, who will anxiously await the de-
velopments.

BURG TUESDAY AND PROMISE
TO REMEDY PARK SITUATION

The citizens of Julesburg will agree
with US the the present dilapidated
condition of the Union Pacific railroad
park in Julesburg is an eyesore to this
progressive community and a matter
which demands immediate attention
if the civic pride of this city is to be
maintained.
Visitors to Julesburg and those
passing through on the trains are led
to form the wrong impression Of this
community by the present appearance
of the railroad park, which should be
place of beauty instead of being in
its present bad condition.
The railroad park in Julesbure is
owned by the Union Pacific railroad
company. However, the Town of
Julesburg has offered upon numerous
occasions to keep care of the park in
the proper way If the railroad COM
pany would provide adequate facil-
tiles for so doing, such as water hy-
drants. There has only been two hy-
drants in the park. and these are in
bad repair, and at least twice this
number is needed in order that the
grass be properly watered.
This matter has been called to the
attention of the railroad company
several times. but up to the present
