NTERESTSOFFAR-
ERSAMTOWN-
PEOPLE MUTUAL

Did you ever stop to consider what
the relationship of the farmers and the
residents of town is to each other!
Both have great need of each other
in the successful pursuit of life. hap
piness and prosperity. We are one
big family and should dwell together
in unity and brotherly love.
Mr.. Business Man, how do you greet
the farmer and his family when they
come to town? Do you greet them in
such manner that they are made to
feel they are entirely welcome. and
that Julesburg is their ''home town" :"
and that their visit here is among
friends, not only from business
standpoint but also in social way?
The making of a town depends in a
large measure upon your attitude to-
ward the farmer when he favors Jules
burg with his visits. No doubt you
must realize that the farmer is the
backbone of the community, and with
out his aid and encouragement we
would be an unsuccessful business
community.
The townsman is no better than the
farmer, and the farmer can claim
no superiority over the townsman.
We are all human beings, with the
same aims and purposes in life, and
are endowed with the same amount
Of intelligence. The farmers and bus
mess men have duty to perform in
cooperating with each other in the
matter of building up the community
in which each play an important part.
No doubt that at times the business
men are little forgetful Of the great
duty they owe the farmers of the COM
munity for their loyal support of
Julesburg in business way. We our
selves know Of the high regard in
which We hold our farmer friends, but
sometimes in our busy daily routine
of life we become neglected. in show
ing our feelings. Let US act as we
feel, and give the farmer to under
stand that he is one of US, as we'll as
with US. Again we repeat that the
business men need the farmers and
the farmers likewise need the busi-
ness men-we need each other in or
der to make = prosperous farming
community and a bigger and better
Julesburg, the result of which means
mutual benefits to the citizens Of the
community as q whole.

Record Breaking Essex
Car Seen Here

One of the first automobiles to car
ry mail across the continent and one
of the machines that holds the time
record for the transcontinental trip
was seen in Julesburg Tuesday. The
Essex car was brought here by l..
Blood-Smyth, representative of Tom
Botterill, Denver distributor. The Es-
sex car crossed the continent from
San Francisco to New York in four
days, fourteen hours and forty-three
minutes. From New York it went to
San Francisco in fouf days, nineteen
hours and seventeen minutes. The
same car also broke all previous rec
ords from New York to Chicago, cow
ering the distance in. less than twenty
five hours.
These distances, it is stated, have
never been covered by any other type
of machine in so short a time, except
by airplane.

Freshmen Are Initial.
ed at loves Hall

An enjoyable as well as unique So
cial event was held at loves hall last
Friday evening when the students of
the Sedgwick county high school,
members of the senior, junior and
sophomore classes conferred the initi-
atory ceremony upon the members of
the freshmen class. Numerous stunts
were pulled off and the "Freshies"
were given the once over and started
out on the right track in high school
life. There was the usual pep" SO
characteristic of student activity ey-
hibited at this occasion, and we believe
that the Freshmen will admit that it's
worth while to be the "goat" in tax
ing the high school initiation cere-
monies.

They invariably use every inffue,
that is within their power to obstruct
any civic improvement and try pretty
hard to put on the "soft pedal" when
any movement is started which has
for its purpose that of making Jules
burg bigger and better town in which
to live.
In most instances these cltizens

q tool by those who have that grip,
They apparently enjoy themselves i'm
Intensely in using every possible effort
to "squelch" any move upon the part
OF the progressive citizens of Jules
burg in pushing the community ahead,
or at least they feel that they are
protecting their own selfish interests,
1t Is pleasing to note, however. that
tnere are scores Of progressive citi-
zens in Julesburg who have a heart
1elt interest in seeing this community
make the progress which it is entitled
10 90 under the most prosperous con-
dltions which prevail here, this city
being the metropolis of fertile sec
ton which is making remarkable
progress, and there is no logical rea-
son why Julesburg should not keep
pace with this progress. In fact. It
is imperative that more progress be
made along certain lines, and it is up
to the citizens to put their shoulders
10 the wheel and go at this community
building proposition in earnest
we should be proud of the progress
Julesburg and community has made
during the past, but certainly not con-
tent to stand idle and let things take
their course in the future There are
numerous improvements needed and
the only solution is for the citizens to
use united effort in accomplishing
the results which will reap mutual
benefits to all of US. The growth of
Julesburg should be phenomenal dur
ing the next twelve months. With
that growth there are few people re-
siding here who will not receive some
material benefit.
Let bygone be bygones. Forget
those petty grievances in this COM
munity building game, and instead Of
letting the Let George Do 1t" spirit
predominate, why not insert the pull
together" spirit. That's the kind of
stuff that wins and makes a town.
There is no citizen within our midst
who cannot afford to spare some of
business proposition, pure and simple,
and means much to our future prog
their time in community work. It's a
ress and prosperity.
Some business men will tell you
that business is good But they should
be ever alert in using methods to
keep business good. If our town
should go backward, that condition
would not prevail--we must keep it
going forward with view Of keeping
ahead of our neighboring competitors.
The community club has big func-
tion to perform, and should be kept
alive and wide-awake. It should al
ways be looked upon with pride a.
one Of this community's representa-
tive organizations. 1t means much
to the business and social welfare of
Julesburg
Let's whoop 'er up for Julesburg
and keep on shouting about our
"home town" It's business propo-
sition as well as a pleasure to the
Boosters in this community.

CONCERT HELD
AT LOWE HALL
MUSICAL TREAT

The concert held at loves hall
last Tuesday evening was unique
affair. The guests, whose number
included most of the music lovers of
Julesburg and vicinity, assembled de-
lighted at the prospect of hearing a
recital by the celebrated Mr.. Glen
Ellison, assisted by Miss Alta Hill.
But surprise was in store for them.
Not one Mr.. Ellison, but two, sang
to the spell-bound audience; and the
selections were played by two Miss
Hills. And this phenomenon was
brought about by means of grace
full cabinet, which stood on the
stage, and matched their performances
note for note and tone for tone.
The first performance of the mir
acle was in the initial number on
the program, when Mr.. Ellison,
standing beside the cabinet, sang in
unison with Mr.. Edison's RE-CRE-
ALTON of his own voice. In the
midst of the song, Mr.. Ellison's lips
ceased to move but his song went on
without break. Slowly it dawned
upon the astonished audience that
the artist was no longer singing. al
though his voice came forth to them
as clear and sweet as ever. He
sang again-and the only perceptible
difference was the motion of his lips.
He ceased-but his voice did not.
Veritably it seemed that there were
two singers upon the stage-two
singers, but only one voice. For the
tones which came from the New Edi-
son matched those from the living
artist so perfectly that it was i'm
possible to detect any difference. The
instrument produced not an echo or
COPY, but the real thing-Mr. Eli
sons voice unspoiled by any mechani-
cal transformations; untainted by
any metallic ring.
After the applause which followed
this remarkable exhibition, Miss Hill
came forward to share the stage with
her fellow musician. the new Edi-
son, Again two artists were before
us, for Miss Hill at the piano play
ed in unison with the RECREATION
of her art. Only by watching her
could we tell when we were hearing
one Miss Hill and when her music
came to us in double measure. The
instrumental RECREATION was as
perfect as that Of Mr.. Ellison's de-
lightful voice. It was identical with
the original in every particular.
Successive numbers on the program
proved that the field of the New Edi-
son is not limited to vocal records.
A RECREATION of number on
the piano was q revelation to those
who had decided after hearing talk
ing machine records, that the piano
tone could not be reproduced. Fur
ther numbers in which Mr.. Ellison
and Miss Hill performed with them
selves served to convince the audi
ence Of their inability to distinguish
between RE-CREATED art and its
original.
One of the most interesting novel;
ties in the evening Of unique enter
tainment, was when Mr.. Ellison sang
4 duet with his own voice. It was
As though two artists with voices Of
exactly the same tone quality, the
same expression. the same timbre,
were singing together. The effect
was somehow unreal and weird. as
though one artist had been bewitched
into two by some magician's art.
