gave $4,000 for six head of Mr.. Full.
cher's choice cattle. Mr.. Fulcher has
no doubt done more to advertise good
cattle in Northeastern Colorado than
any other one man, and we claim it
was quite a compliment to this corner
of our state to have buyers come that
far to find what they wanted. Il
proves as nothing else could do The
wonderful possibilities of cattle rails
ing in this section of Colorado. Mr..
Briggs was Influenced to come here
and buy where he did by seeing Mr..
Fulcher's >prize-winning heifer in ths
Denver Live Stock Show this summer,
That was a high compliment also and
splendid recognition of both this
part of the state and Mr.. Fulchee
himself as successful and expert cat
tie raiser. Mr.. Fulcher has about 100
head of fine Herefords left. He owns
one ranch near Holyoke and another
one a short distance south of Big

Road Just West
of Julesburg is
Bad Mud-Hole

Many complaints are being heard
about the big mud-hole in the road
Just west Of town. This is caused by
an overflow Of water from irrigating
out we are told the water can be con-
trolied and il so it certainly should
be done: This is the main highway
up and down the valley and in fact is
the Lincoln Highway, over which hun
dreds OF tourists are travelling as well
as scores OF our own people. Ger
tainly 1t should be the duty of some
body to look after this road and
whose ever duty it is, he should get
busy and attend to it.

SONG
Battle Hymn of the l. v. A.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the
coming of defeat,
To the socialistic gang who would
our destruction complete;
Our Lord has heard the prayers of
those who would these ghouls en-
seat,
Our God is marching on.
CHORUS
Yes, they'd lead our state to slaughter
With their money they have bought
her;
But the ruin they have wrought her,
Will win for the I. v. A.
H.
We have seen them in the watchfires
of hundred circling camps;
with their followers whose mode of
life their real position stamps;
With their anarchistic doctrines that
would be our children's lamps,
But God is marching on.
CHO.-
HI
He has sounded forth the trumpet
that shall never call retreat,
The l. v. A. will rally to the call
their hosts to meet;
With an avalanche of votes so strong
this fraud they'll ne'er repeat,
The l. V. A. is marching on.
CHO.-
w. ~
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was
born across the sea, =
To save our world from such force
as ruthless anarchy;
From its communistic program He'll
forever set US free,
For God is marching on.
CHO.
"
Our North Dakota's coming from this
chaos, purified,
Purged from shameful propaganda
from which honest people hide;
And evermore in peace and love and
honor We'll abide,
While God is marching on.
CHO.-
W.
Then rally to our colors, men and
women Of today,
And trail the red flag in the mire
Of disgrace and decay;
And the stars and stripes shall float
again,
Der our fair state for aye,
For God is marching on.
