Irled away on a wave of propo-

the federal authorities to enforce

Mr.. Bryan

A dispatch from Lincoln, Neb.,
telling of Mr.. Bryan's arrival
there, said:
Mr.. Bryan reached Lincoln
early Sunday morning for a
short visit with a brother. Chas.
w. Bryan. He was the speaker
last night at temperance jubi-
lee meeting. Today he will ad-
dress the University of Nebras-
ka convention, a monday lunch
con at the Commercial Club and
the Nebraska constitutional
convention. He will make a po-
litical address at Omaha tonight
and he plans to return to Wash
ington next Friday.
The world at large had sup
posed that Lincoln was Mr..
Bryan's home, but he seems to
be considered as only a visitor
there as at the many other
places where he habitually calls.
He was busy there making va
rious speeches as he is every
where he goes. They were no
doubt all entertaining speeches.
He has few if any rivals as a
talker, but it doesn't appear that
he is any longer at home in Lin
coin. He only visited his
brother Charles there. He went
next day to Omaha to make an
other speech and will return to

FINISHING THE JOB

We recall that little more than q
year ago, to be exact. on Nov. IL. 1918
the people of Julesburg were divided
in their opinions as to whether the
war was settled too soon or not. Some
contended that We should not have
stopped until the allied armies were in
Berlin. The others, sick of war and
fearing another year of it, were salts
fled to see it end in any old manner,
just SO it ended.
In view Of recent and present events
in Germany, we are inclined to the
belief that things would have been .
lot better for the world in general and
Germany in particular II the allies
had gone into Berlin. Some Of Us
feared at the time that, while Ger
many was beaten, there would always
be some Of her people who would nev-
er realize it. Today II looks very
much that way. Given an opportun-
ity to settle down and start anew, fac
tions have seen fit to continue the
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1920-03-25

strife. The old Hohenzollern rule of
bluff and bull DOING had not been
ended with the signing of the armis-
tice. The more brazen ones immedi-
ateIy took the chip of war they had
been carrying off of one shoulder, and
put it on the other one.
But there is little need for worry,
unless it be to worry because Ger
many is injuring herself and her fu-
ture more than she is anyone else
Soldiers there are plenty left within
easy striking distance, and they will
not hesitate to strike if Germany
makes it necessary. The deepest re-
gret the American people have is
that there are left in Germany . few
thick-heads who cannot realize this
and who are always going to keep

INTO NEW MARKETS

Occasionally We find . farmer who
is of the opinion that he is not paid
high enough price for his farm
truck in this community as the mer.
chants are paying in some other
towns. Az far as we've been able to
learn he is wrong about this, for our
home merchants not only pay as high
prices but in many cases the prices
are even higher than those paid in
other sections. And the same is true
in the matter Of exchange.
But if there is a dissatisfied farmer
in this section, if there is = single one
complaining because he can't ret
enough for his produce here, we want
to offer suggestion-find q new
market. And that can be done with
out moving, or paying out money in
railroad fare. Try the plan of one
Kansas farmer We recently resd
about.
He toiied and perspired and pro-
duced-and then wasn't satisfied
with the prices paid. He wasn't sat

so he started in to produce better
stuff than his neishbor. But in = very
short time he found that his neigh
oor's stu1 set the market price. And
then he hit upon the idea Of placing

per, at very small cost. He quick

Interesting Junior Basket
ball Games at the
YIN. C. A.

The Y. NJ. c. a Boys department
Basketball league played another set
of thrilling games this morning, and
at times during the games it was i'm
possible to preaict. who would emerge
as winner. The haroest game of all
was the one between the Blues and
the Pinks which required eleven min
utes overtime before the champions
could be named. The end Of the Sec
+ond half saw the score tied, three to
three. and during the overtime the
excitement became 50 intense that II
the players OF one team from those Of
the other, but Just before the gong
sounded Dominic Spatafore was able
to toss in field goal, winning the
game for the Ptnks with a score Of
five to three.
In the contest between the Reds
and the Blacks 1t seemed at first that
the game would be very tight but in
the second half the Reds began to
pull away from the Blacks and the
second H.. ended with the score eight
to four in favor OF the reds. The
game between the Yellows and tho
Whites turned out to be very close
indeed and neither team seemed able
to score point. However Albert
Hager landed a FREQ throw forthe yell
lows and then just before the gong
sounded for the last half, Earl Sample
scored a field goal for the Whites
and the game ended with the scor,
two to one in favor Of the Whites.
The line up OF the teams follows:
Red team-Paul Woody, John Clay
