HAXTUN TEAMBY
SCORE OF s TO 0

S. C. H. S. 8, Haxtun O. That was
the final score in the foot ball game
played on the high school gridiron
here last Friday afternoon, and the
followers of S. C. H. S. are jubilant
over this victory, when the strength
of the Haxtun team is considered.
The S. C. H. S. boys simply out.
played the Haxtun aggregation, and
sprung big surprise in the Haxtun
camp, as the warriors from our neigh
boring town had expected to walk
away with an easy victory.
A large crowd attended the game,
there being suite delegation of Hax-
tun rooters also in attendance. The
game was full of "pep" from start to
finish, and S. C. H. S. is entitled to
a very creditable victory.
These teams will clash again at
Haxtun tomorrow (Friday) afternoon.
and the dope is that S. C. H. S. will
again administer defeat to the Hax-
tun team. Here's hoping that our
boys come out victorious.
S. c. H. S. is scheduled to play the
fast Holyoke high school team

bered that Holyoke defeated the 10

lars sent away to the big cities to pay
for goods that could be purchased just
as cheaply and much more convenient
ly in the nearest town or city. These
thousands of dollars, when sent to the
mail order houses in the big cities,
never come back. They do not help
to build good roads past the farmers
houses. When the next crops are har-
vested, the mail order man won't buy
any of the farmers products. The
potatoes, tomatoes, the melons and
other things that the farmer raises
may lie and rot upon the ground so
fir As the mail order man is concerned.
No Credit From Mail Order Man
The mail order man won't sell the
farmer 2 cents worth of goods on
one days credit no matter how badly
the farmer may need the goods or how
little ready cash he has to pay for
them. If the farmers house burns
down, the mail order man is not 60
ing to sell him any lumber on credit
so that he may build another home.
He will take what cash he can get the
farmers to send him and there his in
terest in the farmer ends. If the
farmer has no money to pay for what
he needs, the mail order man will find
others to help swell the stream of dol
lars which is building up his great
fortune and helping build up the great
city in which he lives. Let the home
merchant help the farmer when he
needs it. And the local merchant does
help the farmer as long as he can, but
there comes time when he cannot.
He cannot make money without Gus
toners. Without the legitimate pro-
fit that he makes from his sales he
cannot "carry" the farmer over the
rought spots, he cannot contribute to
the good roads funds, he cannot pay
the farmer cash for his products!
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1920-11-11
COOPERATION AND DE-
VELOPMEMT ESSENTIAL
TO COMMUNITY GROWTH

Residents of JuIesburg and cities
everywhere are beginning to realize
more acutely the fact that, except un-
der very unusual conditions. their
communities will prosper and develop
only in proportion to the prosperity
and development that comes to the
farming sections which surround them.
Realizing this fact, commercial clubs
and chambers Of commerce have in re-
cent years been diverting as much Of
their attention to developing the
country districts As they have to Sc
curing new industries and attracting
new residents. They know that as
the country about the towns becomes
more thickly settled and as the farm
ers become more prosperous the more
money will be spent in the towns and
the faster these towns will grow. 1t
is largely for this reason that the
residents of the towns and cities have
been doing more and more to aid the
farmers in growing bigger rops and
in improving marketing conditions.
The towns and cities have contributed
more and more literally toward the
building of good roads in the country
districts.
Not One-Sided Proposition
But this is not a one-sided PROPOSE
ton. It the town is dependent upon
the country, so is the country depend
ent upon the town. What the farm
er raises is worth absolutely nothing
to him unless he can sell it at price
that will pay him fair return on the
money and time invested in its pro-
duction. The farmer, without mar
kets, would be in the same fix as a
storekeeper without customers In al
most every case the farmer is de-
pendent upon the nearby town or city
for market for at least his perish
able products.
In the language of the street, it is
a fifty proposition. The town
needs the country and the country
needs the town. The farmer needs the
assistance of the storekeeper of the
town in securing a market for his
products. He needs the assistance of
the storekeepers of the town in get
ting good reads over which he may
haul his products without losing more
time than the products are worth. He
often needs the assistance of the
storekeepers in helping him over q
period of financial stringency.
Storekeeper Needs farmers Trade
On the other hand the storekeeper
needs the business of the farmer. He
does not ask the farmer to sell him
his products on credit even though at
the time he may be hard pushed for
cash and may need more credit badly.
He does not ask the farmer to help
him build . sidewalk in front Of his
store. He does not ask for the busi-
ness of the farmer provided that he
can sell the farmer the goods he needs
at as low a price as he can secure
them for elsewhere.
But does he always get the farmers
business? Ask the mail order man in
the big city or ask the postmaster
or the express agent in any town or
city in the ountry. They could. if
they would, tell Of thousands of dol
