things more seriously. The idea of
saving and thrift has taken more of
a hold on the people, besides the reali-
zation that their continued spree simp-
ly meant further initiation and anoth-
er increase in the cost of living,
Finally there came spirit of or
ganized resistance. Its first public
display was in the so-called "overalls
movement" which did not amount to
very much in itself, but which set ev-
eryone to thinking just the same 1t
set wholesalers to worrying. who be-
lieved that the public revolt was some
thing that would grow and would have
to be reckoned with, and as soon as
the public detected this nervousness
it began to use its new-found power
more freely. Retailers found that their
customers would not accept the high
er-priced offerings without question
as they had been doing, but either
bought lower priced goods or omitted
the purchase entirely.
Now we come up to the present
time when there is general wave
of price reductions Of most every COM
modify, and everything points towards
the country going at rapid pace in
an effort to get back to a normal ba-
sis of price standards.

CITIZENS GATHER
AND DISCUSS THE
WHEAT PRICES

A meeting of citizens and business
men of Julesburg was held Tuesday
morning for the purpose of discussing
the wheat market situation pertaining
to the prices being paid by the
grain buyers in Julesburg. There
was q large attendance at the meet
ing which was held at the Rozells
Clothing establishment.
Jacob Frickel, Jr. of the First Ma
tional Bank presided at the gathering.
Mr.. Frickel stated that he understood
that the meeting was called for the
prime purpose of resenting the prices
being paid for grain in Julesburg, and
that it was common talk in this ter
ritory that the grain buyers in Jules
burg were lower by quite margin
than at other neighboring towns.
Mr.. r. E. Wise, manager of the
Julesburg Cooperative Grain Co., and
8. n. Beadle, manager of the s. M.
Beadle Grain Co. were present, each
of these gentlemen stating that they
had been paying as high prices for
wheat as they thought was wise to
do under the existing declining market
conditions.
There was a general sentiment
prevalent amongst the majority of
those present at this meeting that, as
the Julesburg Cooperative Grain Co.,
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1920-10-21

was q community enterprise, owned
by farmers and business men as well,
that this company was not At this time
performing its proper function in pro-
viding q good grain market. Several
of the stockholders Of the company
were present and each expressed
themselves as being in favor Of the
company adhering to the policy of
paying the highest possible price for
grain consistent with good business
methods; that is to say, operate upon
smaller margin of profit and give
the farmers and those who have grain
to market the benefit during these
times of declining markets money
stringency.
the farmers Of this section and the
citizens of Julesburg have a mutual
interest in the matter of market con-
ditions in Julesburg. and considerable
interest was manifested in Tuesday
mornings meeting. There were also
a number of prominent farmers pres
ent. who expressed their views in
the matter. After lengthy discus
sion it was moved, seconded and
unanimously carried that a committee
be appointed to confer with the board
of directors of the Julesburg Cooper
ative Grain Co. at an early date in
regard to the matter. The committee
met with the board Tuesday evening.

1t has taken the general public a
long time to realize that the cure for
high prices lay within its own hands.
The inflated basis on which industry
has been placed, particularly since the
war, has been due to the willingness
of the public to pay the prices de
manded. AS long as money came in
freely in the shape of war profits
and higher wages, it had an intoxi-
eating effect upon those who had not
previously had surplus funds at their
disposal. Hence, there set in an orgy
of extravagant expenditure which has
been without parallel in the history of
our country. 1t was extravaganza in
the sense that what should have been
turned into savings and investment
and, therefore, into capital, was being
recklessly spent, instead of being con-
served by judicious investment, and
the income therefrom only used for
the purchase of Injuries. Yet it was
represented the attainment of long
deferred desires and often the reali-
zation of the hopes of lifetime.
Where this expenditure resulted in
more comfortable homes, in better fur
niture, better clothing, higher educa-
tion and long-earned recreation, it was
in a sense a capital investment, the
dividends of which were paid in a
brighter outlook on life and mitiga-
ton of household drudgery. 1t was
not in the least surprising that those
who suddenly found themelves able to
make such expenditures should not
know where to stop and that after the
comforts there should come demand
for luxuries.
In the course of time this wild ex-
uberance wore itself out, and there
has of late been a tendency to regard

Location of Factory
Not Yet Decided

The sugar beet harvest is almost
completed for this season, and the
beet growers have enjoyed unusually
good weather for the hauling of their
beets, thus causing no delay. AS stat
ed in this paper in a previous issue,
the sugar beet crop in this section
this year has been above the aver
age, and should be ample evidence
for the sugar company that another
sugar factory is needed here to take
care of this growing industry.
As the Great Western Sugar Co.
has announced that they contemplate
building another sugar factory east of
Sterling in the near future, the peo-
pie of this section are anxiously
awaiting the definite decision of the
sugar company officials as to the To-
cation of this factory.
