Hundreds of good farmers will
come to make their homes with US
during the year of 1919, some having
puchased land during last season or
prior to that, and in addition there
is anticipated as exodus of new pur-
chasers for this year, which will ma
terially assist in filling up the grad
ually diminishing acreage yet avail
able in the county. While the de-
velopment. during the past fifteen
years has been highly satisfactory,
our progress during the next fifteen
years will be even more enormous
and perhaps surprising to those who
have already made strong predictions
concerning the remarkable growth an
ticipated. This county is more or
less yet in its infancy, and its former
record as winter wheat producing
section is attracting notice from states
laying east of US, and the cry for new
er and better lands is being fast
answered by the claiming of the yet
untitled soil of Sedgwick County.
Our ground is in most cases pre-
pared for crops by the employment
of the latest power-tractors. which
plow, pack and drill as high as forty
acres per day Harvesting Of this
immense acreage is accomplished by
means Of combined harvesters and
threshers and the golden wheat is
marketed quickly direct from the
machines to the elevators in the sur
rounding towns over good roads
through the employment of motor
trucks. Results from wheat seeded in
Sedgwick county show as high as 20
bushels to Is bushels per acre-thirt'
bushels per acre being considered =
normal crop.
Corn is counted king in the south
western portion of Sedgwick county.
the ground there being especially
adapted to this crop, and thousands
of acres are harvested each year.
Potatoes yield abundantly on the table
lands and $50 bushels to the acre is
considered an average season. The
nature of the soil is such that things
to be found growing on the land will
be oats, barley. rye. cane. beans. hog
millet, Sudan grass and numerous
other crops used as "roughness" for
cattle feeding. There is no more fat
producing wild grass than the buffalo
pasture that will be found on each
farm. ..
Although the day of the range steer
has passed forever. each farmer will
be found with small individual herd
of well bred cattle and Blue Ribbons
have taken the place of Texas ticks.
The rapid development in the i'm
mediate future is assured for doubt
and skepticism have long since van

the past history of our country and

should seek its true valuation based
upon the net return from the invest
ment, but this has not been the his
tory Of land development. Were this
SO, then land in Sedgwick county, COM
pared with what it has produced dur
ing the past years, should be selling
for many times its present value OF
saleprice. With the rapid develop
ment of the lands in our county, how
ever, it will soon seek its proper level
along with lands in Eastern Nebraska
and Western Iowa, for the proof of
the pudding is in the eating" and We
have been leading these two mention
ed localities during the past few
years, or in fact, ever since we have
placed on our lands the right kind of
farmers.
A very interesting feature of our
development lies in the fact that men
who have lived in our county for many
years are the ones who are paying
the highest price per acre for parti-
cular tracts near of adjoining holdings
they now possess. Price seems no
object with them-the land being
held in their name being their chief
concern at the present moment. This
condition is being forced upon them
by reason of the rapid flow of new
purchasers who are daily coming to
this county. and they realize that un-
less they secure holdings near their
own they will have to pay premium,
or else do without additional acreage.
There is only one crop of land in
Sedgwick county, and that fact is be-
coming more apparent to the older
settlers every day. They realize that
the land will soon be paid for out of
few crops off the land-for their
past experience has taught them this.
It is = very rare thing to find an
improved farm in Sedgwick county
for less than from SIS to 500 per
acre. Another season Especially one
that seems to promise all that 1919
does to the farmer of this county,
will see most of our table lands selling
rapidly at the above figures. Raw
land at $50 per acre is considered An
excellent purchase and many tracts
sold at this price last fall.
Some day we will see $500 land on
the table south of Julesburg. Colo

$50 per acre. .~. ~"
Fore-warned is fore-armed, and as
that old adage says, ITO the victor
belongs the spoils", the prosperity Of
Sedgwick county is assured and to
those who anticipate purchasing lands
in eastern Colorado, especially in
Sedgwick county, we can only say,
"There is no time like the present"

PLENTY OF ROOM.

| A rolling stone gathers no moss-but who
wants to be mossback?
The trouble with a rolling stone isn't its lack
of messy garment, but its lack of conscious di-
rection.
No rolling stone ever gets anywhere. It only
bumps airnlessly downward, the slave of an ex-
ternal REORGANIZATION. Don't be rolling
stone. There's plenty of room at the top. And
the top is just where the rolling stone never ar
rives. You wanted at the top.
Your job is to stick to your job-to climb to
the highest place in it you can fill And the
rungs of the ladder you must climb are here, in
your home town, in the organization Of which
you have long been part, among the fellow
workers with whom you have SO long associated.
Don't fall for the lure of the somewhere else.
Don't chase some will O. the wisp Eldorado in a
far away promised land. There is no better pay
in any other city than in our own city-your city.
Life and work are much the same the coun-
try over. The only difference, so far as we are
concerned, between Pensacola and any other city
is that here is our home and here are our friends
Any man who can make good elsewhere can
make good all the more surely here, where the
foundations of his success have already been laid.
In his own home town any loyal Woodworking
citizen is master of his future; his prosperity is
certain.
But the victim of Wanderlust is ever the Serf
of Uncertainty! He who follows at the beck and
call of the Far Away only winds up far and away
from his own best interests. He is pulled-like
the rolling stone-by blind force outside him.
self. And he lands, in the end, like the rolling
stone, in some forlorn hollow far lower down the
slopes of Mt. Prosperity than the point from
from which he started.
Don't let even your thoughts be the slaves of
wanderlust. Keep them firstly here at home,
intent on your own citys welfare
And stick in person to your city
Grow with your city.
Prosper with Pensacola

COMMIssIoNERs no BE CONGRATULATED

In remedying the defects of the ordinance in
relation to the construction and maintenance of
privies within the limits of the city, and making
this ordinance even stronger, the commissioners
are to be congratulated upon one of the most i'm
portant steps forward in progressiveness
There is nothing of such concern to any COM
munity as the disposal of its fetid and waste
matter, and any interests that may array them
selves against movement of such vital import
to the health of section show themselves to be
more concerned in saving the expenditure of a
few dollars than in the conservation of the health
of the community.
Epidemics are not unknown in Pensacola.
And will not become a thing of the past until the
obstructionists who seek to put stumbling block
before every movement for betterment, find that
The community requires from them a reckoning
There is nothing that retards the growth of
any city as the insanitation of that city. And
no city can possibly claim to be sanitary with
such system is maintained in Pensacola

THE VICTORY BONDS.

Money received from the sale of the Victory
Loan will not pay war debts. 1t will pay war
bills. That is, the money thus raised will be
used in settling the federal governments obsga-
tions at banks where treasury certificates a-e
held as evidences of the governments ir le.s
ness, issued beginning last November, supplied
money for the payment of war bills, wi-;c.l IL
Guided to the extent of many hundred Millions
the cost of returning soldiers from abroad
and from training camps.
The Victory Loan merely changes the person
mel of the governments creditors. By the pur-
chase of bond, you, instead of some bank, are
financing your government to that extent. You
are not paying any portion of the national war
debt; you are substituting yourself in place of
bank as your governments creditor And in
stead of paying the bank interest for loaning its
money, you pay yourself the interest.
Thare is no more secure investment possible
for the average person to make than Victory
Bonds. They pay higher interest rate than is
possible for most savings banks to pay, and there
is no bank, or combination of banks in this or
eny otter country, as strong as this government.
And Victory Bonds are the promissory notes of
this government, backed by all the wealth Of
the wealthiest country on earth, and backed by
all Americans of today and tomorrow

TO CONSOLIDATE SCHOOLS

The board of public instruction win convene
this evening at Cottage Hill, where a meeting
viii be held for the discussion of the consolida-
ton of the schools of Cottage Hill Quintette and
Gonzalez. The plan contemplated by the board
and the progressive citizens of these commune
ties seems to offer an admirable solution of the
educational problems of that section of the coun-
ty. The Agricultural School at Gonzalez is one
of the most modern and best equipped schools in
the state and the plan of the board and prom
inent citizens of the three towns named is to
have modern school bus to convey the students
from Cottage Hill and .Quintette to the central
school building at Gonzalez
In this way the educational facilities of the
school will be increased one hundred per cent, ac-
cording to state educators, as in centralizing
school facilities, it will be possible to serve the
schools much more efficiently in every way
The plan will not be put into effect until the
next school term and at that time modern
school bus will also be placed in operation on
East Hill.

CHILDREN OR PIGS?

1t 10 time the people of Florida were awaken
ing to the dangers they face, when the appro-
pria.ion for the State Board of Health is cut from
S160,000 to $4,000, and an appropriation of
$4,000 made for the control of hog cholera To
control the spread of disease among the hogs of
the state, it would seem, is of more vital import
anee than TO prevent the spread of disease among
the school children of the state, when we take
into consideration the fact that from the $780,
600 which the health board will have at its dis
posal, $4,000 is devoted to the home for crippled
children in Jacksonville, and about thirty thou
sand dollars is necessary to maintain the five
state laboratories of Florida. This leaves the
sum of $4,000 to care for all expenses which
the state board may incur.
Today every progressive state in the union
seeks to prevent rather than to cure and moth
ing is of more Importance than the educational
work that is being accomplished, particularly in
the rural districts
The examination of school children in Escam-
bia county has developed the fact that ten per
cent of the children in the rural schools are af-
fllcted with trachoma and ninety per cent with
hookworm. So insidious is trachoma, the most
serious of eye diseases, in its inroads that the
United States deports all immigrants who are
found to be suffering with the, disease upon
examination at Ellis Island So harmful is the
hookworm, that the most noted scientists of the
world have spent years of study and millions
of dollars seeking its elimination.
The Journal believes in any movement that
win aid in the development of live stock in this
section. But if it is question of CHILDREN
or HOGS, then CHILDREN come first
In the epidemic of typhoid fever which swept
tie state, $4,000 was spent in this county, for
treatment and serum for the prevention of ty-
phoid. One is forced to wonder how such a sit
uation will be controlled, if the governor signs
the bin which cuts the appropriation of the state
health board from 100000 ia $4,000, and with
only about half of that amount to be devoted to
general health problems.
