The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1919-11-20

Inquiries now being received by the
State immigration Department indi-
cate that the movement of land seek
ers to Colorado during the coming
winter and spring will be heavier than
it has been for several years. Prices
of land have reached such high levels
in the older agricultural states that
large numbers Of experienced farmers
are selling and moving west in search
of farm lands that can be had at low
er figures This movement has been
under way for more than a year and
Colorado has apparently profited more
from it than any other western state.
While the price Of land has advanced
very rapidly here it is still much
lower, especially in the non-irrigated
districts and the newer irrigated dis
tricts, than in the principal agricul-
tural states of the Mississippi valley,
from which most of Colorados new
farmers come.

SCHOOLS AND ROAD TAXES

One of the greatest hindrances to
education in this section is the OPP
position of the taxpayer who has no
children of his own to educate, or
whose children have already received
the benefits that the public school
system has to offer. In talk with a
Belington man, and one well posted on
this question, we have been informed
that many district is today unfor-
tunate enough to have large land own
ers with no interest in education, who
are making impossible any improve
ments by their refusal to cooperate
in anything from which they are not
to receive direct benefit.
The old question of why should l
pay for the education of my neigh
boris children ~ has been the bone of
contention throughout the entire fight
against illiteracy in this country. Per-
haps the man whose farm does not
border on public highway feels he
should not pay taxes on the improved
road And yet if the main highway
is not improved what good to hints
the lane running off Of it to his own
farms? The lane can't take him Off
his own property. Those living ON
the side roads must awaken TO the
fact that main travelled roads are Of
benefit to them, even if they do not
reside directly upon them, and they
must cooperate if we expect to get
out of the mud in this section, and
stay out of it. f@ Esr
Good schools and good roads are
impossible so long as men are blind
through selfshness to the needs of
the entire community in which they
reside.

NATION STOPS
PURCHASE AND
SALE OF SUGAR

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.--Aban-
donment of Governmental attempts to
control the distribution and sale of
sugar is announced by Attorney Gem
eral Palmer. oi
After the Sugar Equalization Board
is dissolved on December 81, the Cow
eminent will confine its efforts to
prosecution of profiteering in sugar,
Mr.. Palmer said.
Explaining the Departments policy
for the future, Mr.. Palmer said he
had neither the power nor the IA
cilities" to control the purchase or
distribution of sugar This was said
to mean the end of the programme
for bringing in fresh supplies of sugar
from Cuba and other sources. Appar-
emily little use can be made of the
new authority conferred upon Mr..
Palmer by the President who desig-
mated him as Food Administrator.
Determination of the Department
of Justice to abandon its programme
was said to give full leeway for a
rise in sugar prices While Federal
agents will continue to watch closely
for profteering, officials said prose-
cutions necessarily would be limited
to punishment of dealers whose tran
sactions are within the United States,
as the Government would have no con-
troll over the prices at which sugar
comes into the country.
The Cuban supply, recently esti-
mated at approximately 100000
tons, will be the first to which Amer
lean refiners will turn. They, how
ever, must face stiff European com
petition in making their purchases in
that market.

sides appeared confident of final
satisfactory settlement of the fight

WASHINGTON, Dec 10.AGover-
nor Sproul, of Pennsylvania, in key
note speech at the meeting today Of
the Republican National committee,
attacked the administrations policy
and declared the Republican party APP
preached the coming presidential
campaign with confidence that the
people would endorse its policies.
His outline of these included a bet
ter relation between capital and la

ment in administration, firm hand
ling of the Mexican situation, restora-
ton of Americanism and constitution
al government and sound solution OF

ored to cooperate in the conclusion
in the matter with only such limita-
tions as will preserve to this republic

DO YOUR PART

There are many things that can't
be done in town the size of Beling-
ton that can be done in the city.
That's why you'll find more cooper
alton in the smaller towns. The
people learn that if anything is ac-
complished it must be through coop
Grafton. When a public movement
comes up in city there's usually
enough people for it to make big
clamor, and it goes through. In a
small town to get through a public
movement must have the combined
support of everyone. If there are but
few citizens opposed to it, those few
are sufficient to discourage the ma
jority favoring it. J.9s
1t takes cooperation of the whole
hearted sort to put anything across in
towns this size, even to getting out a
good newspaper. Everyone must be
willing to help, to telephone the editor
or bring into the Office little items he
or she is interested in, and which will
in every case be of interest to some
one else. The small-town paper can
not employ reporters to go out and dig
up the news and bring it into the Of
flee. 1t must depend upon you and
your neighbor to keep it posted, to get
marriages and births and deaths, ac-
counts of visitors and sales and bust
ness changes, crop conditions and, in
fact, everything of interest in your
town or neighborhood, and to send
those things, or bring them, to the of
flee. Just as you cooperate to make
the paper better and brighter and
more readable, so will the other fell
low.
At the same time, the fact that you
are cooperating, and supporting a
home institution, will spur us on to
greater energy, and we will be en-
abled to turn out every week paper
citizens of Belington will be proud of
and one which will put this commu-
nifty in mighty good light with
people in distant towns and cities,
where it is being read 1t will only
cost penny every Wednesday to drop
little news item or bunch of them
to the editor and they are appreciated
Don't howl about no news if you make
no effort to help except to pour "cold
water"

GOOD ROAD NEWS

PARKERSBURG, w. Va, Dec. 10.
F. Midelburg, owner of FLOCK of
moving picture houses in the coal
fields of Logan County is booster de
luxe for good roads, and he is one OF
the happiest men in that county today
as result of the ratification of the
million dollar bond issue in that coun-
ty Nov. 20. When C. P. Leatherwood
of Parkersburg went to Logan to as
sumo charge of the educational cam
paign which extended to every section
of the county, Mr.. Midelburg placed
every one of his numerous houses at
his disposal with the privilege of
showing film and speaking in advance
of the exhibition.
The reel was shown at every perfor-
nance at all his theatres for an entire
day and at Logan he included the pic
'ture in his program for all day Thanks
giving anl the day following. To be
sure that the audience would not miss
the good roads reel he ran it between
his feature reels. H also furnishedNa
portable machine to exhibit the pic
ture in places that did not have
moving picture house and assisted in
every way to put the issue overS
Logan County can boast of hundreds
of road enthusiasts but Mr.. Midel-
burg stands in class by himself

Jackson County, like Writ and
few other counties of the State is
facing a difficult problem for next
year in raising sufficient amount of
money to match the state and federal
aid funds which have been apportion
ed to it. The levy laid by the court
in Jackson will not be sufficient and
the only salvation is county bond
issue. Property valuations in Jack
son are said to be unreasonably low
and evidently need readjusting. The
county has 116 miles of Glass "A"
road and its apportionment for next
year will be S37, 120.
Major C. P Fortney of the State
Road Commission has just announced
the appointments of state and fed
eral aid for the coming year which
are to be given the 55 counties of
the state. The sum to be distributed
totals 81 ,469 ,440 or an average Of
1920 per mile of Class "A" mileage.
Kanawha County leads in mileage
with 1872 miles and will receive $48,-
GA. The class "a" mileage in the
state totals 1852 miles.
Taylor County has now a PROPOSE
ton to vote bond issue of $1,000
900 for Good Roads to cover the great
err part of the farm area of the coun-
ty.

AN EIGHT-HOUR DAY

We believe every thinking man in
Belington will agree with us when we
say if there is any one man In this
country who really loves to work it
is the farmer. He loves to see things
growing-and he knows that growth
comes from his own labor; that only
as he tolls will the crop grow or the
cattle take on fat.
Work is just as much matter of
habit as anything else, and the farm
er easily acquires the habit. Where
one has acquired the habit of work he
gets more enjoyment out of that than
anything else Having acquired the
habit of work, and having love for
work, and knowing the result of work
upon the farm, the farmer isn't going
to take kindly to an eight-hour day,
neither for himself nor for the hired
hand" The farmer is going to have
to pay a greater wage to the hired
hand" than he has ever paid, for farm
labor advances along with labor in the
city. But eight hours a day for the
farm hand is not likely to prevail. 1t
may be used as basis for fixing the
rate of pay, and that would be well
enough. But on the farm, where the
work is seasonable, where the farmer
works as a matter of habit, the eight
hour day is not going to be adopted
as a standard anyways soon.
