decoration was needed. Naomi Fred

dress, while Alma Jensen, president
of the Senior class, presented the

The boys have been practicing

and Town Council for the purpose Of
ascertaining what financial support
and cooperation could be received.
President Frickel has not yet named

Postmaster Finley Dye made talk
at the luncheon in regard to the action
taken by the Community Club at last
weeks luncheon relative to the post
office general delivery window being
kept open during the noon hour. Mr..
Dye explained in a very clear way
how the business of the postoffice had
increased during the past two years.
and that with only small amount of
clerk hire being allowed him, the work
was very strenuous. However, Mr..
Dye stated, that although the Depart
ment did not require him to do so, that
the general delivery window had been
kept open until $50 P. M. in order to
accommodate tn, public. He further
stated that it was his desire to COOP
crate in every possible way with the
public, and that hereafter the general
delivery window would be open from
1890 to one o'clock P. NJ. and be clos
ed at six o'clock P. M, which he hop
ed would be a more satisfactory ar
rangement.
Mr.. Dye was assured by the MEM
bers of the Community Club that it
was not the intention of the Club to
criticise his work and the efficiency
of the office, but if more assistance
was needed, the club would be glad to
cooperate with him in remedying the
situation.
Don't forget next Wednesdays
luncheon. You are cordially invited.

At the MONDAY luncheon Of the
Julesbufe Community Club held at
the Brown Hotel dining room We'd
sesday, the proposition Of securing q
sugar factory for Julesburg was dis
eussed in detail. It was the unani-
nous sentiment of all present that q
united effort be made toward securing
. factory in the early future, it being
pointed out that this beet raising ter
Fitory would amply warrant the es-
tablishment and maintenance Of su-
gar mill and that Julesburg was the
logical location.
After the matter had been thorough
ly discussed, it was moved and carried
that the president Of the Community
Club appoint committee consisting
Of five representative men, this COM
mittee to commence operations at once
along the lines of soliciting stock sub
scriptions for \ sugar factory to be
located at Julesburg, this stock to be
placed in escrow in the banks and to
be turned over to some sugar compa-
ny at a time when the building of a
factory at Julesburg was absolutely
assured.
There is no doubt but what this
committee will meet with great sue
cess, as the farmers and the business
men of this section are unit for the
early establishment of sugar factory
here. At the time we go to press we
are unable to give our readers the
personnel of the committee, but Pres
ident Frickel of the Community Club
now has the matter Of selecting the
committee under consideration, and it
will be named within the next day or
10. We expect to give our readers
more definite information regarding
this subject in next weeks issue Of the
Grit-Advocate.
Guy Sn,elser, as a member of the
base ball committee, made q report at
the luncheon, stating that a subscrip-
tion paper for the support of base
ball team had been circulated among
the business men and citizens the
first of the week, and that the same
had received liberal support, which
no doubt would assure Julesburg 4
good ball team for the coming season.

the reading Of the measure. Shortly
before o'clock the hot and hungry
group OF legislators remaining on the

journ. Not even Representative Da-
Wis. plotting the measure through the
House, had the heart to oppose ad-
journment.
