THIS A TRADE
AT-H0ME" CHRISTMAS:
DO SHOPPING EARLY

"Trade at Home" is the slogan that
should be used by the holiday shop
pers in Julesburg and community this
year, and if you will but adhere to
this policy the citizens here will re-
ceive material mutual benefits. The
money used in buying Xmas gifts
should be kept right here at home
where it is needed the most, especial
ly so during these times when money
is so tight" We hope to see the
people of this territory take advan-
tage of the many offerings of Jules
burg merchants of holiday goods.
Read the Christmas advertisements
which offer good suggestions for tha
Christmas gift. We advise you 70 do
your shopping early and thus take -
vantage Of the large assoftmenti.
Don't wait uptil the holiday stocks
have been depleted.
The Julesburg merchants are en-
titled to your trade, so don't forget
them in making your Xmas purchases.
Boost the home enterprises and you,
as citizen, will be also boosting your
own interests. Let's make this a
Trade at Home" Christmas.
Loyalty to home enterprises is one
thing that it needed for the further

development Of this section. The Mail
Order Shark is flooding the mails
with their literature with view of
the big harvest they expect to reap
from you by securing your Christmas
trade. The mail order man has 10
interest in you whatsoever, while the
local merchants are vitality interested
in this community's welfare. Think
seriously of these mail order shu-
bangs before you turn down the To-
cal merchant who is your friend and
nsighbor.
The mail order man will not be with
yoa at the Saint Nick's festivities and
contribute to the entertainments in
which you will take part. We, of this
o19astunity, are as one big. family, and
have our interests here in common.
We should be interested in seeing pro-
gress. and we should realize this more
than ever as the holidays approach.
Before you send away for any of your
Xmas gifts, we advise you to visit
the local stores and see what you can
buy right here at home. We suggest
that you cultivate the "Trade-at-
Home" spirit this year, and in so doing
you will be doing your share to build
up your home town and community.

PROSPERITY WILL RE-
TURN IN GREATER MEAS
IJRE;; BE CONSERVATIVE

months ago. various industries were
laying off part of their employees,
without reducing the wages of the
remainder. Today this remainder of
employees still at work, are yielding
TO the pressure exerted by those out
of work, to the end that the workers
accept a reduction in wages, in order
that room may be made for the unem-
ployed to get back into the harness.
In ether words, that the plants may
employ more men without increasing
the present total Of the pay roll.
1t is we'll for the citizens of Jules.
burg and Sedgwick county to treat
matters in a conservative and broad
minded manner for their own benefit
as well as their neighbors. Let US
be conservative and not radical dur
ing this readjustment period which is
so necessary after a great war, and
we will be ready to greet the return
of Prosperity in a firm manner, al
though perhaps most of US have been
compelled to make sacrifices that
seemed hard at the time. However,
we have the consola ion of knowing
that we are sailing back to normal
conditions.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1920-12-02

The first essential in the develop
ment of any business is the possession
of a market, The manufacturer must
have a market for his products or ne
cannot succeed, no matter how valu-
albe those products may be or now
efficiently his plant may be operated
The wholesale merchant and the re-
tail merchant may have the choicest
stocks of goods, but they may as wen
90 out of business if they have not
market where they can dispose Oh
their stocks. The farmer may pro.
duce bumper crops, but they VIII rot
upon the ground if he cannot 1ind a
market for them. The wage Garner S
skill and muscle bring him no returns
unless there is a market Tor MS Ia
Dor.
The questions of markets is the big
one in every line of business ana IN
every con. .munity the question is a
vital one. In our community, Whlcn
must be taken to include not only all
the people who live in Julesburg Dut
the farmers who live in the surround
ing country as well, there are ,r' Two
sides to the market question. Inc
business men of Julesburg must nave
a market for the things Which the!
have to sell. Otherwise they cannot
continue in business. At the same
time the farmers must have market
for the things which they raise or the9
NAV as well 90 out of business.
When Either Fails Both Suiier
The merchants Of Juiesburg can
provide a market for the produces
Of the farmers and the farmers, can gan
provide a market for the goods "hlcil
the merchants have to sell. AS lo"s
as each class of citizens proV4des d d

and the goose hangs high but Whetl 1'a.
either class fails to provide hafhe.
for the other the goose is cooked no.

Prosperity, we greet you! You are

Prosperity, we greet you! You are
not far away.
A study of conditions. both general
and financial, compels the conclusion
that PROSPERITY sometime absent,
is on the return trip and near at hand
This statement is made advisedly, and
with much thoughfulness by the Grit
Advocate editor. This is, however
not merely our own conclusion. 1t is
supported by those who have grown
gray in the study of conditions-those
who for a long term of years have
made a profession of analyzing de-
velopments and compiling statistics.
1t is true that you hear much talk
Of depression; that there is nothing
but hard times" ahead. 1t is true
that money conditions were never
more stringent that at the present
time, but it is also true that the ca
lamity talk that you hear so common
nowadays is only serving to make con-
ditions worse. Let us be more opti-
mistic and view this readjustment per-
iod in broad way.
Prosperity has travelled in cycles
both going and returning, ever since
the history of the United States. AT
times Prosperity has come, gone and
returned within single year. At
other times Prosperity has come,
stayed for considerable time, gone
away, and then returned within two
years or more. No law can govern
the duration of these cycles of time,
each and every one Of which is obed-
lent to whatever peculiar and peril
nent conditions may obtain within such
particular term of months or years.
The Grit-Advocate firmly believes
that as a great nation we are standing
on the threshold of new and greater
prosperity than we have known in
years. and sound reasoning bears us
out The present depression has last
ted long enough for various stocks
to pass into strong hands-an unfail-
ing sign that the powers which hold
them will loan money cheap and other
wise make it possible to re-distribute
them at higher prices. That's one
explanation. The prices of commod-
tiles are growing less and less. A few

SMALL GIRL IS
BURNED T0DEATH
MONDAY EVENING

Matilda, the one year and nine
months old girl of Mr.. and Mrs. John
schmidt died Monday night, Novem-
her 29th, at about eight o'clock at the
home of her parents near OVID, as a
result of being burned to death.
The little girl had been playing IN
the kitchen. and some burning paper
from the stove caught her clothing.
Her screams attracted other members
of the family, but before they cculd
come to her rescue, the little one had
heen severely burned, all Of the cloth
ing being burned from her body. Dr.
GF Ewing of Julesburg was sum-
moned, but medical aid was OF no
avail as the flames has accomplished
fatal injuries, and the victim died at
about eight o'clock, living only three
hours after the accident.

conducting Investigations, before re-
turning to Wray to look after his in
terests there.
Another week has passed and
Messrs. Nelson and Braddick, the Den
yer men who were here recently to
organize local company, have not
answered the proposal submitted to
them by the committee of local men
referred to in the last issue of the
Grit Advocate. We are now of the
opinion that they do not intend to
accept the proposition, and in that
event the local men whom they have
selected to serve as an advisory
board, want it strictly understood
that they refuse to have anything to
do with the proposition, as they do
not wish to go behind deal that has
all the earmarks of being simply a
stock selling scheme, and nothing
more. Let us guard against such pro-
positions. which would be very detri-
mental to the interests of the people
of this community.

SHOPLIFTER FAILS
TO MAKE GOOD
R0ELL STORE

Several of the Julesburg merchants
have been suspicious of shoplifters
during the past week or so, and last
Saturday afternoon the climax was
reached when Dick George, the con-
genial clerk at the Rozells Clothiers
apprehended young man who was in
the act of getting away with pair
of pants, which he had slowed away
under a raincoat that he was wearing.
When confronted by Mr.. George, who
had been watching him, the said shop
litter produced the pants and prompt
ly paid for them. The offender
begged for mercy, which he was given
at that time. The incident happened
during the rush hours at the Rozclls
establishment, and no doubt the young
man thought he could pull off the
stunt and get away with it. Per
haps next time he will not be let off
so easy, and it should be lesson to
him,

GE0L0GIST HERE
MAKING SURVEY
OF TERRITORY

]. w. Smiley, head geolOgist for the
Mid d-Field Oil Co., with headquarters
At Wray, Colo, where he is actively
engaged in the oil business at Wray,
has been a Julesburg visitor this
week. Mr.. Smiley has been conduct
ing Investigations near Julesburg rela-
tive to ascertaining conditions relat-
ing to the possibilities of there be-
ing oil in this territory.
Several local men have accompan-
led Mr.. Smiley in his investigations.
In our interview with Mr.. Smiley We'd
nesday afternoon he said he was not
prepared to make definite state
ment, as his Investigations here had
been only of preliminary nature.
However, he did state that he is not
connected in any manner with any
company, local or otherwise, that had
for its purpose the drilling of oil
in this locality, and that he wished
it strictly understood to that effect.
While Mr.. Smiley did not divulge
to us anything regarding his investi-
cations here, we did gain the infor-
nation that he was very favorably
impressed with this section as to the
possibilities of oil. He further stated
that in the event that company was
organized at some future date that he
would become interested only after it
was proven to be strictly legitimate
organization, which had for its OBJ
ject other than just selling stock,
and creating commissions for under
writers and stock statesmen.
Mr.. Smiley informs US that he will
remain here for another day or so

s. E. H. s. DEFEATS
HOLY0KE IN FAST
GAME NOV. 18TH

The S. c. H. S. foot ball team, ac-
companed by large number of root
ers and admirers, journeyed to Hol-
yoke last Thursday where the S. C..
H. S. warriors clashed with the Hol-
yoke high school team in the long an
ticipated Turkey Day" game. The
final score, after 60 minutes of real
foot ball had been played, was 6 to 0
in favor of S. C. II. S.
This game was by far the best game
played this season and S. c. H. S. is
deserving of great credit for the vic
tory obtained from the fast Holyoke
team. The game was spirited one
from start to finish, but the S. c. H.
S. boys showed more speed than their
opponents, this being responsible for
the one and only touchdown made in
the first half in an end run for forty
yards by Quarterback Barnes.
In the second half Holyoke started
to use the forward pass in an effort
to even up the score. They were sue
cessful twice and made large gains
toward the goal, making it look as
though Ho!yoke would eventually Sc
cure a touchdown by this method Of
play. But gloom was cast into the
Holyoke camp when Julesburg's star
Fullback, "Chuck" Kinsman made the
sensational play of the day by inter
cepting forward pass executed by
Holyoke near the twenty yard line of
the Julesburg goal. Kinsman secured
the ball and with lightning speed
raced down the field, and would have
undoubtedly have made touchdown
had it not been for interference from
spectators who had gathered on the

STERLING BANK
CLOSED ITSDOORS
MONDAY, NOV. %

The Farmers National bank at
Sterling, failed to open its doors fer
business last Monday. A notice was
placed on the doors by Roy E. Smith,
national bank examiner, stated that
the bank had been closed by order Of
the president and board of directors
and that the national bank examiner
had taken charge. The closing of the
bank occasioned little excitement
about Sterling although it was a topic
of conversation in various circles. The
opinion expressed by persons informed
in banking matters was that the in
stitution is only temporarily embar-
rased and that matters will be adjust

field in front of the runner, making it
impossible for him to get by before
being caught by Holyoke player.
This was unfortunate for JulesbufR.
as the score would have been at least
IL to 0 had Kinsman been given Q
clear field by spectators.
kinsman was easily the star ol
Thursdays game, he playing . col
lege brand of foot ball and was ~
sponsible for breaking up Holyoks's
forward pass, which would have prov.
en- disastrous but for his sensational
playing. AS it was Holyoke's only
chances of winning were sent glim-
mering. The excellent toe work a
Barnes, the S. G. H. s. quarterback,
also took the pep" out Of the Hol-
yoke aggregation, who were SO conf
dent Of victory. Homer Lewton, tAs
crack S. G. H. S. guard also is desefv-
ing Of very favorable mention for hi0
excellent playing-in fact all the MEM
bers of the S. C. H. s. squad were %
their toes and playing real classy foee
ball, putting surprise into the Hol-
yoke camp that the latter could not
overcome.
Several of the Holyoke players SUI
fered injuries and Homer Wilson,
member of S. C. H. S. was forced b
quit the game the last four minutes
of play on account Of suffering q bad
ly sprained ankle. The Holyoke team
is not entitled to anv alibi for their
defeat of last Thursdays game-they
were simply outclassed and defeated
by team that evidenced superior
playing at all stages of the game.

This community was shocked upon
learning of the death of one of the
early pioneers of Sedgwick county,
Mrs. Minnie Hamilton, which occur
red at the home of her son, Earl c.

LOCAL MARKETS ARE
ESSENTIAL FOR PRO-
GRESS OF COMMUNITY

The farmer has right to expect the
town which is his natural trading
point to provide market for his pro-
duets, and the town is not performing
It's proper function as the trading
center of it's community If 1t does not
see that such a market is provided.
The responsibility of looking after the
fulfillment of this obligation rests
largely upon the merchants. The
farmer is producer and he must dis
pose of his products before he can
become consumer. 1t is, therefore,,
not only right but necessary from a
business standpoint that the mer-
chants should aid the farmer in trun-
ing his products into money. Other
wise the farmer naturally will have no
money to spend in the stores OF the
town.
Obligation on Farmers
On the other hand, the merchants
of Julesburg have right to expect
the farmers to provide market tor
the merchandise which they have to
sell, and the farmers are not doing
their duty to their community If they
do not provide such a market. In this
case, also, it is not only right but 1t
is necessary to the prosperity of the
farmers that they should aid the mer-
chants in turning their merchandise
into cash. Otherwise it is obvious
chat the merchants will have no mon
cy with which to buy the products
of the farmers.
This is a double -barreied PROPOSE
