PETER, THE HERMIT.

There is no more eXtraordlnary episode in the annals of the world than the History of the Crusades. In the North of France there lived a man named Peter, of lowly birth, who believed that the Diety had con- stituted him one of his special instru- ments on earth The rage for pill grimages to the East drew the hermit Peter from his retreat, and he went to Jerusalem, where his indignation was moved by the manner in which the Christians were treated by the in fidels. It was through his conversa- tions with others that the plan was laid for warriors from the West to unite for the recovery of the Holy Land. The invading army was head ed by St. Peter, and under him, his soldiers plundered, destroyed and murdered.

What's next in line for Julssbarg
and Sedgwick county in the nattse n
progress and development3 Just Pot
that question squarely up to your
self, Mr.. progl essive citizen. Then
after you have given the matter due
consideration and have arrived at .
conclusion, It will be next . matter
of securing the cooperation of others
to put over" some needed enterprise
which will result in mutual benefits
for the entire county.
Let US pause and look back few
years ago. Isn't it wonderful the
progress that has been made right
here within our midst and with this
progress there is no denying the fact
that all of the citizens are receiving
mutual benefits. But we must look
ahead to the future, and keep pace
with the times. There are still many
channels ,open along the lines of pro-
gress and development, and with the
accomplishment of good results you
will profit and SO will your neie hbor.
That's the secret of cooperation.
The past year has been a most sue
cessful one in many respects, and
prosperity relgns supreme. Inc man
who has toiled diligently and used
ordinary business methods has profit
ed materially, perhaps more 50 than
in any other year. This section has
been blessed with abundant crops, and
Sedgwick county stands out in the
foremost ranks. A more distinct line
has been drawn on the map, and when
one points their finger to the extreme
northeast corner. there is an exclam-
alton of that's where they grow
those big yields of small grain, sugar
beets, ETC." The outsider is looking
this way, and numerous newcomers
are certain to come to share with
US our prosperity.
As we grow and grow and grow, op-
portunities become more numerous,
therefore we must be prepared to
make the best of them. Now what
do you say is needed to accomplish
further progress and prosperity? We

have the fertile soil-there 10 none
any better to be found anywhere. We
have COED farmers and good business
men, and the progressive spirit Is In
the air. The one essestial thing neces-
sary to accomplish the best results is
cooperation in matters pertaining to
public welfare.
The three towns in the county,
Julesburg, Sedgwick and Ovid are
showing progressive strides, but these
communities should be ever alert to
keep pace with the progress of the
territory tributary in order to safe
guard their interest against other
towns in other counties not far dis
tant. The farmer who owns farm
tributary to a town should naturally
have an interest in seeing 1t make
progress. Its dollars and cents in his
pocket, as land values increase along
with many other benefits which are
derived by having a farm located tri-
butary to ''live" town. The bust
ness men derive a great benefit from
the progress Of the territory tribu-
tary to the town, so its fifty-fifty
proposition with both the farmer and
merchant. They need each other and
their interests are in common.
The future development and pro-
gress of Sedgwick county will most
assuredly reap mutual benefits, both
to the citizens of the towns and the
farmers. Just like the interest on
that note, the benefits to be derived
from cooperation upon the part Of the
citizens Of Sedgwick county keep pill
ing up all the while, both in direct
and indirect way. The more improve
ments there are. the more valuable
your holdings become and the larg-
er the profits at the end Of the year.
Sedgwick county has bright future
which will no doubt exceed our ex-
pectations. There will be numerous
new enterprises of various kinds; the
population will double and treble with
the advent of more industry and you

portunity knocking at the front door.

FARMER IS DECLARED
ARBITER IN INDUSTRIES

MEMPHIS. Tenn, Nov 18.-The
farmers of the country must find the
influence that is needed to bring or
der out of the disjointed times, de-
clared Charles s. Barrett, president
Of the National Farmers Union, ad-
dressing here today the annual con-
vention of that body.
Capital" he said. is perturbed,
even scared; labor is irritated almost
to the boiling point. Between the
contending elements the public is re
duced to that condition Of uncertainty
which causes it to question where It
is going to get its food, its clothing.
problems and amidst the ocean Of
pent-up human passions now raging,
the farmer is the only man who has
his feet really on the ground.
There is feeling in Washington"
Mr.. Barrett said, "that something is
wrong somewhere; that somebody has
failed; and in thinking circles there is
a growing conviction that agriculture
must be the intercessor between the
warning factions; that the farmer
must stabilize conditions and make his
great influence felt at this time.
"In this crisis the farmer must re-
main firmly at his post and while re-
fusing to surrender any rights which
are his. he should by example and pre-
cept exercise such influence as will
tend to bring calmness to labor and as
surance to capital, at the same time
making it clear to each that nothing
which makes for industrial progress
and commercial solidarity can be ac-
complished without the aid Of agri-
culture"

OVID HAS MOST CONGEN-

Ovid certainly has . very congenial
and accommodating station agent in the
person of Leland Egbert. The writer
is willing to vouch for this after hav-

effort to make things convenient for
those who were compelled to stay In
the depot during the night, and il
we had the authority he would re-
ceive a very substantial promotion.
There is no Public be Damned spirit
with Egbert, but to the contrary 1t
is "the public first" with him. He's
young man who is most accomoda-
ting, we'll say. and words cannot ex-
press our true appreciation for cour-
tesies extended last Sunday night.
