IT'S DOLLARS
AND CENTS.

Never in the history Of the United
States have home gardens been &c
necessary or so profitable as they will
be this year. We make no exception
TO the years 1917 and 1918, when the
country was dotted with "war gar
dens," put out by patriotic citizens
who were each making . small con-
6ibution toward feeding the world.
. The war is over, or at least sup
posed to be, but the need of home
gardens has increased instead Of de-
creased. The patriotic plea, how
ever, no longer prevails. 1t is now q
matter Of dollars and cents-that and
getting enough to eat. Because Of the
scarcity of farm labor of every char
acter there is an alarming decrease
this year in the acreage devoted to
food supplies. 1t is an impossibility
to obtain sufficient help, even at the
unusual high wage offered for that
class Of labor. The crop season is
upon US, and instead of improving the
situation has become worse. No farm
er in his right mind is going to under
take to farm more acres than he can
properly cultivate. Therefore, a de-
creased acreage.
The price of all kinds of food stuff
is high now and we shall be fortu-
nate if it does not climb higher in the
next few months. So it should not b.
necessary, in view of these circum-
stances, to urge everyone in Jules
burg and community surrounding who
possibly can to put out a garden. A
few feet Of space, if carefully utilized
can be made to produce several hun
dred dollars worth of vegetables in

part of the world Julesburg is no
exception. But with all the knocks,
with all the lack Of thanks and little
cheering words that could be said but
are left forgotten, the editor drives
right on boosting. and he always will.
He was born to help the other fellow
and, like the birds. learned early in
life that il no one else feeds him
heaven may. And maybe that's why
the Lord keeps so many editors on
earth-to keep the balance of the
world from souring or turning stale.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1920-05-20
WHERE THANKS
ARE FEW,

We've thought over it 4 good bit,
and we've about come to the con-
clusion that there's no profession on
earth in which the worker gets less
appreciation and more KNOCKS and
abuse than in the newspaper game.
And we have also reached the con-
clusion that the reason ell newspaper
editors 60 to heaven when they die
is they get so much of the other place
while they're on earth.
No matter how nobly the editor
boosts for the development of his
town and community, no matter how
loyalty he may support friend in
politics or extoll the virtues of cit
izen of the town, no matter how loud
ly he sings the praises of the town
belle about to be wed or how gently
he lays wreath of pretty words on
the grave Of departed citizen, he
seldom hears those magic words
THANK You" And few times in his
life does he catch whisper of that
cheering sentiment, "Well Done"
But let him make a slip in his pap
er-let him say Bill Jones did some
thing he didn't do or Mrs. Brown said
something she didn't say, and every
body in town takes whack at him.
This is true in the newspaper game
everywhere in the world, and being

A SPRING
TONIC,

We read in an exchange that the
circus is spring tonic that will cure
all our woes-and there is a lot of
sense in the statement. In these DAYS
when nearly everyone is "seeing
things there are so MANY peo
pie who are apprehensive of the fu-
ture.-certainly lazy elephant or a
cage of monkeys, and the glitter and
tinsel of the show in general, ought
to do world of good. That's whv
we folks in Julesburg are ready to
welcome just as many circuses as
want to pitch their tents here.
The odor of the sawdust ring is
better than any other medicine. And
the slow rumble of the wheels of the
circus wagon-and the wobbly camel
all of it is tonic that seeps into
the blood and makes a fellow forget
there ever was such thing as trouble.
Blackberry time used to be a thing
that cured human ills. No matter
how the industries dragged along. if
there was a big crop of blackberries
the world seemed saved. But not all
OF US can enjoy picking blackberries.
Besides, the berries come too late n
the season to take the place of the
circus, for the tonic is needed earlv
IN the year. So, as long as the cir
Gus goes out regularly in the spring.
and as long as all of US welcome if and
feel that same spell which came over
US in boyhood-is there any need to
worry about strikes and revolutions
isn't the old world in pretty good
shape after all?

SPEAKING OF
BAMBOO

Have you q little bamboo in your
home? The ? pi has, and he
can't understand how other peoples
live without it.
Bamboo constitutes the whole or
a part Of everything made in the
Philippines" says Sergeant Ander-
son of the Marine Corps Recruiting
Station. Denver Colorado.
From the cradle to the grave it is
indispensable to the Filipino. He lives
in bamboo house, his cradle is made
Of bamboo, it is part of his food, he
cooks with it, his household utensils
and equipment are made of It, he
farms, fishes, fights and is entertain
with it he makes certain kind Of
beer from its seeds, and his coffin and
tombstone are bamboo.
"From foundation to roof his
dwelling place is entirely bamboo. Not
a nail, nor a bit of iron enters into
the work Of construction. He cooks
in the hollow joint of green bamboo
over blazing heap Of bamboo twigs.
Bamboo sprouts and seeds are eaten
His drinking cup and his water pail
are made from hollow bamboo. He
carries a heavy load by deftly bal
ancing bamboo pole on his shoulder.
"His musical instruments are made
entirely Of bamboo. So are his agri-
cultural implements, his fish traps and
fishing gear, and his weapons of war.
when at last he dies, he is carried
to his grave in a bamboo mat sus-
pended from bamboo pole, his grave
is dug with bamboo scoop, and a
bamboo cross is his only monument"

family. And it should also be remem-
bered that every dollar saved now is
going to be a bigger dollar when
things get back to normal in this
land.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1920-05-20

Well still contend that the wisest
man in Julesburg is the one who
knows the present-day dollar is worth
SOC when you spend it and 100 cents
when you save it.

CRUDE OIL

Oil men were more conyinced the q
over yesterday that further sha =
advances may be looked for in Penl q
sylvania crude oil and the oths5
grades, which normally follow PENN,
sylvania crude in price movement.
Some of the largest refneries lack
this grade of oil, and II IL quite
probable that open bids for. PENN
sylvania crude oil will he aban-
doned, which would make for almost
a runaway market. and might bring
about the $40 price per barrel, which
some oil men have been predicting.
1t is stated that at least 40 cent
gasoline can be looked for by sum-
mer. Such a price it is expected
would not interfere with the auto
mobile industry. except insofar as
II would cprtail, perhaps, the pur-
CHASING and the use of some of the
lower priced cars.

LOCOMOTIVE ORDER

The American Locomotive Com

OF the total number. fifty are for
American railroads. thiTty-five be-
ing contracted for by the Union Pa
Cific and fifteen by the Louisville
and Nashville. The ordering by the
two American roads it is believed by
some will be the forerunner OF some
substantial orders for equipment.
--hich will be placed by the carriers
when they have been returned to
. private ownership. Fifty-five of the
locomotives ordered will go to the
Canadian National Railways.
OF the Union Pacific order nine
teen are to be of the Mallet type and
sixteen Mikado engines. The Cana
dian order calls for twenty light Pa

and ten heavy Pacific type. The

New York. Feb. 21.-wall Street
was much more concerned over the
bank statement today than 1t was
over the market. The persistent
selling of stocks throughout the
week by important banking inter
ests as recorded in this column.
was a broad hint of a bad bank
statement to come. but the state
ment was worse than expected. As
the Federal Reserve is more than
a point under legal requirements
and as commercial loans increased
during the week in the face of an
advertised determination by the
banks to reduce them, Wall Street
sees little hope for any easier terms
for stock market borrowers. The
stock market depends absolutely on
the money market for the time
being.
The market opened steady and
attempt was made to continue the
advance of the railroads. This met
with Indifferent success. There

picion is strong that pools are al
ready trying to get out of what
they thought would be bargains.
1t is expected that the railroad bill
will have trouble getting through Con-
gress and further trouble getting
through the White House. When actu-
ally passed it will find the railroad
industry in the midst of wholesale
dehation of labor with both employers
and employees preparing for the fight
over wages that is to culminate In
September.
Among the industrials the only
strength shown was in specialties
