NEW PLANT NOT COMING
TOO SOON; NEEDED BADLY

A notice appears elsewhere in this
issue of the Grit-Advocate notifying
the water users of Julesbrg to con-
serve on water, and to use water for
sprinkling of lawns and gardens only
between the hours of six and eight
O'Clock A. NJ. and five and eight P. NJ.
On account of the dry weather which
has been experienced here during the
past two weeks. there has been an un
usual large amount Of water used for
lawns and gardens, and the result
has caused a shortage.
Last Thursday evening and again
Friday morning the Town Of Jules
burg was entirely without water for
a few hours. and this condition Of
affairs has been the cause Of alarm
amongst our citizens, rumors even
being current that the city well was
going dry. etc. This report is not
substantiated by the facts Of the mat
ter. The real cause for the shortage
is on account Of the unusual large
amount of water being used which
emergency has been difficult to Cope
with at the power plant. which. in
its present bad condition, it being
taxed to capacity and overloaded, thus
.handicapping the pumping facilities.

The base ball fans will have an op-
nortunity of seeing the Lodge Pole
base ball team play the fast-golns
Julesburg Cubs on the local GROUNDS
next Sunday. August 3rd.
The Lodge Pole athletes are a
strong aggregation, and they probahI
will be materially strengthened Tor
next Sundays game when they meet
the Cubs, who bear the enviable repu-
tation Of having played a total of ten
games this season, meeting only one
defeat. Naturally the Lodge Poe
team will exert every effort to WIN
next Sundays contest.
The management Of the local team
feels confident of annexing another
victory to the credit of the invlnclDIe
Cubs when they battle for the honors
of the diamond next Sunday with the
lads from Nebraska. No doubt a
large crowd will be present to witness
this game Admission so cents IN
cluding war tax. Ladies free.

Julesburg Cubs
Continue Winning
And Defeat Grant

Out at the ball park in Julesburg
last Sunday there was a ball game,
and when the smoke of the battle
had cleared, it was found that the
Julesburg Cubs had won another ball
game, this time defeating the Grant,
Nebr team by the score of to 3.
This contest was as full of errors
as a sponge has holes, it seeming to
be the hobby of some of the men in
uniform to boot the pill, but never
theless we won the ball game, and the
Cubs now have record of nine vic
tories and one defeat. which we claim
is going some for any old BALI club.
The feature of last Sundays game
was the spectacular throw Of Law
from the right field garden to the
third sack, where Harry Brian had no
trouble winging Grant runner,
much to the surprise of all who wit
messed the play.
Last Sundays game started out to
be regular swat-fest, Grant secur
ing two scores and Julesburg three
in the first inning. Grant evened
things up in the third by pushing
a runner over the home plate by a
"steal." This was Grants last
last chance of scoring, while the
Cubs secured two more runs, one in
the fifth and one in the seventh.
1t was simply ball game Of nine
innings. where both teams played
ragged ball at times. and again would
tighten up and play the national past
time in great form. 1t seemed that
"pep" was lacking upon the part Of
some Of the players, who usually play
in great form.

FIRE DOES SMALL DAMAGE
AT S. ID. CRAWFORD FARM

A fire at the S. D. Crawford home
about eighteen miles southeast OF
Julesburg last Saturday. caused from
an exhaust of a tractor set fire
to the stubble. About an acre Of
standing wheat and one hundred acres
of stubble was burned. \,
Besides the wheat and stubble burn
ed the flames swept through the
and tractor rig, but fortunate
ly did little damage, only burning the
hood canvass on the combine.
Mr.. Crawford was finishing har-
vesting his wheat when the accident
occurred. Neighbors and citizens
from Amherst and Venango hurried
to the scene to assist in extinguishing
the flames, and with their aid along
with a strip Of bare sod, which the
flames could not cross, the wheat in
the granaries as we'll as the other
fields of prairies grass were saved.

MUCH NEEDED RAIN VISITS
THIS SECTION WEDNESDAY

A much needed rain fell here last
Wednesday evening. and Thursday
morning, the rainfall reported in this
citv bv Observer Frank Deich being
80 of an inch, but in the country to
the south and west the rainfall is re-
ported as heavier.
This moisture was greatly needed,
and likewise appreciated by the citi-
zens of this section, as it was becOm-
ing little dry for the growing crops.
Still more rain will be welcomed.

GRTT.ADyOCATE IS LATE
ON ACCOUNT OF NO POWER

The Grit-Advocate comes to its
readers somewhat late this week on
account of the mower and lights be-
ing off at the city power plant Wed

It isn't often that the paper does
not come out on time, and our read
ers will please bear with us in the un-
avoidable delay. Our motors which

Dye store was opened by providers,
but they were evidently frightened

A window was opened at the Fischer
store. it being discovered by the mar
shall. Nothing is reported missing
from these stores.
In view of the events during the
past week. there is strong sentiment
amongst our citizens that a night
watch would be a good investment for
our city. It is true that there have
been few robberies here during the
past. but with the growing popula-
ton of our city. and with the addition
of numerous "floaters" it must be
realized that new condition exists.
1t is a matter of speculation as to
whether the robberies during the past
week have been perpetrated by local
talent. or accomplished by transients.
However, more protection is needed as
a precaution against both theft and
fire. which can only be gained by the
commissioning Of a regular night
policeman. Julesburg has passed the
village stage. and instead is rapidly
growing community whose population
is increasing with each setting Of the
sun.
