MANH0lES BLOWN UP
Sewer Gas ExpIodes at 18th and
Chestnut Sts.-FIremen CaIIed

An explosion of sewer gas in the
mains at Nineteenth and Chestnut
streets caused much excitement at II
o'clock last night. The covers of two
manholes were thrown high into the air
and many panes of glass in the neigh :
borhood were shattered. Three plate
glass windows of nearby stores were
broken. Following the explosion Jet
of gas shot high into the afr.
The engine company from the Twcn
ty first and Market station was called
and quickly cntinguished the flames.
The explosion followed the heavy down
pour of rain, and it is thought that gas
condensed on account of the quick food
of water which flowed into the sewers.

GARDENING TINE

It's getting up to the edge of the
season when the people of Julesburg
and community ought to begin garden
talk. That is, with the approach of
spring we ought TO have a revival
in garden interest. For no matter
what the funny men on our newspap-
ers have said about the war garden
and the victory garden-they certain
ly did lot Of good, We ought to
have more of them this year than we
have ever had, for there will be just
as much need Of them and they will
prove just as helpful in keeping down
the high cost Of living.
The war garden never received the
credit to which it was entitled. Few
people appreciate just how much they
helped the nation. Funny stories were
told about them, and jokes made Of
the attempt of some people to grow
a little food in the backyard. But
every vegetable brought to maturity
contributed that much to keeping

prices of food stuff to 4 lower stand.
ari o: prices. Those who did no.
erow anything were therefore benefit
ted along with the greater benefi, Sc
cured by those who actually raisei
something.
There is no reason to believe that
garden vegetables will be much CHEAP
er this year, for il now looks as tho
they will be as high or higher. II is
gong 70 cost just as much to pro
ducs the vegetables; labor isn't going
TO be any cheaper this spring than il
Vas last spring-nor is anything else.
So it will be well for the people of
Julesburg and community who havs
a plat of ground, or who can rem. a
plat, to begin figuring upon growing
something on it, and this is the se.-
son to do the figurig.

SETTLING DOWN

Reading the market and financial
news in the daily papers one canno.
help bu. be impressed with the belief
that this country is getting over its
spending orgie and its wild spasm Of
extravaganza. and is settling down.
The banks are Tightening up on loans
and showing a great deal more care
in letting out money, while men We
have talked to in Julesburg recently
and who also watch affairs pretty
closely tell US merchants are buying
more carefully. They are taking no
chances on being overstocked should
the bottom drop out Of the market.
And as people quit buying anything
and everything, just because they've
got the money now to pay for such
things, prices are sure to settle down.
1t was the wild and unnecessary We
might say almost foolish, craze for
spending money that sent prices up in
the first place. 1t is the same thing
which has served TO keep them there.
But apparently the people have com
menced to sober up and now realize
that the end of such a carnival is
near. They are putting money in
the bank now, against the day when a
dollar will look a whole lot bigger
than it has at any time within the past
eighteen months. The tendency to
buy that which they do not need is
declining. And now that they have
commenced to spend their money for
necessities, and to put the other awav
it won't be long until things settle
down, and We get back on 4 basi.
where everyone will be a whole lot
happier, wiser and better off then they
could hope to be if money spending
continued to be a craze.

pay for the education Of my neigh
bor's children ?" has been the bone Of
contention throughout the entire
figh. against illiteracy in this coun.
Try. And the same argument is of
fered whenever road tax is men,
toned. Perhaps the man whose farm,
does not border on a public highway
feels he should not pay taxes on the
improved road. And yet if the main
highway is not improved what good to
him is the lane running off Of it to
his own farm? The lane can't take
him off Of 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 il We ever ex-
pect to get out Of the mud in this sec
ton, and stay out Of it.
Good schools and good roads are
impossible SO long as men are blind
through selfishness to the needs Of the
entire community in which they re-
side.

SCHOOL AND ROAD TAXES

One of the greatest hindrances to
education in this section is the op-
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
Julesburg man and one well posted
OF this question, We have been inform
ed that many a district is today un-
fortunate enough TO have large land
owners with no interest in education,
Who are making impossible any i'm
provements by their refusal to CO.

are not to receive a direct benefit.

AUTO THzEF ESCAPES

An auto thief, captured by the po-
lice of Council Bluffs few days ago,
escaped Jail this merning. He made
his way to the Northwestern yards
and hoped an outgoing Northwestern
freight train. The police were close
behind him and they got on the same
train.
When the train slowed up at the
'YY", about noon, the thief hoped off
with the officers a few hundred yards
behind him. They commanded him
to stop but he ducked behind some
cars as the officers fired and so fur
they have been unable to locate him.
Local officers are assisting in the
search and they are of the opinion
that he is hiding until darkness to
make his getaway.
