ORGANIZATION OF
HOLDING COMPANY TO
BE COMPLETED FRIDAY

consist of the men in the community
who are most interested in seeing
test well actually put down and
that every precaution is being taken
to see that this is actually accom-
plished.
The leases are Of the standard form
providing the royalties usually paid
in an undeveloped field and are not
given to any outside company, but
to . company composed Of our own
citizens and land holders.
The terms Of the lease provide that
tsst well must be put down in the
dixtrict within one year and that if
e;yie found wells must be put down
"a every tract Of land leased within
two years, or the leases are automa-
tically cancelled.
The drilling company, after it has
proved its backing and ability to per-
form its contract is to be offered leas-
es on only a portion of the holdings
of the local company and not to be
allowed to take more than 80 acres
in one place. The drilling company
must pay the usual royalty to the
owner Of any land on which they
drill.
The proposition when it is fully
understood will appeal to any rea-
sonable man by reason Of the clean
cut provisions of the contracts. II
the wells are not put down the leases
automatically expire in two years at
the outside. II the wells are put
down and the oil is discovered q new
bunch of income tax payers will be
found in Eastern Colorado.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL MERCHANTS
BY SO DOING YOU WILL BUuDUP
: YOUR OWN BUSINESS INTERESTS

He who dances must pay the fiddler
That il an old saying which is full Of
truth. The primary idea in this say
ing, OF course, is that one cannot have
any pleasure without paying for it in
some way, but this is not the only
sense in which it may be construed
1t means that we cannot pursue any
foolish policy indefinitely without pay
ing for it in the end.
No man can overtax his physical
strength indefinitely without risking
ultimate disaster. Dissipation or
overwork may be continued for time
without any noticeable results, but if
continued long for sufficiently long
time the inevitable comes to pass. The
laws Of nature cannot be violated with
impunity. If one takes out of life
more than he puts in. il he tears down
his physical strength faster than he
builds it up. he must eventually pay
the fiddler.
Exhaust Resources of Community
The person who makes his living in
community, receiving the money Of
the community for his labor or the
products Of his labor. and then spends
his income outside Of his community
is helping to exhaust the resources Of
the community just As the man who
expends his energy through dissipa-
ton or overexertion faster than he
builds it up is exhausting his physical
resources. One man may do this, of
course, without noticeably affecting
the economic strength Of the COM
munity, but when dozen men or wo-
men do it the effect becomes notice
able and when hundred do it the re-
sources Of the community become ex-
hausted to the point where collapse is
inevitable. Those who are responsible
for this situation may think that they
have profited Individually by their
actions, but they have not realized
that in the end they must pay the fid-
dler.

tary of State and the meeting ID to

Geologist Smiley is expected to be
present at the meeting to present and
report what he has accomplished and
advise US fully of what il expected
Of the community before the test Nelh
are to be put down.
Those who have subscribed for stock
in the holding company are requested
to be present at the meeting especial
ly as votes are required on several

obtain first hand information from
Geologist Smiley as to the prospects
for early drilling and what will be
expected from the community in the
way of acreage.
All who are interested in the pro-

The success or failure of an individ.
ual merchant may not be Of particular
concern TO the people of q commun-
ity. but the success or failure Of the
merchants as whole is a matter Of
the very greatest concern.
Provide Market for Farmers
The merchants Of Julesburg, in IL
first place, provide q market for Q
large part of the products Of th0
farmers in the territory surroundinR
the town. They buy the produce q
the farmers in small quantities, h
accordance with their need. and some
Of them buy in larger quantities fse
shipment to foreign markets. II tho
merchants could not do this there
would be no market at least for tie
small quantities except at ruinses
prices. II the farmers could not real
ize a reasonable profit from thsie
products, there would be no money
for them to spend and there could -
no money to pay for your products q
to pay for your labor. 1t ID there
fore, of the greatest importance b
every member Of the community,
whether a resident Of the town or Q
farmer in the country surrounding ths
town, that the merchants be enabled
to provide this market for at least Q
part of the farmers product
Every dollar sent away from a town
to mail order house helps to dimin-
ish the ability of the local merchants
to provide a market for the farmers
products or to do any of the many
other things which the merchants Of
every town do for their community.
Business in a community cannot Be
conducted on a one sided basis. A man
cannot take out of his community
good living for himself and family and
give nothing in return. He may do
so for short time and get away with
it, but in the end he must pay the
fiddler.

Wake up Julesburg, . new year
has dawned upon "!
With the Beginning of the year
1921 the citizens Of Julesburg and
community have . golden opportunity
bs&pre them-Qhat Of making this
city . bigger and much better place
In which to live. The achievements
Of the past year have been commend
able and much greater than that Of
previous years. We now have our
new flour mill, two creameries, West
en- Union uptown office, several
new business firms, our new addition
to the Sedgwick County High School
almost completed, and many other
progressive improvements.
The year 1920 was a most prosper
Gus one for the citizens of Julesburg
and Sedgwick county, record break
er in many respects. The popalation
has increased materially and every
thing is now ready for making the
new year 1921 the banner year in the
matter Of development and improve
ment. Julesburg is duty bound to
do her share in keeping pace with
the rapid strides Of progress being
made in the territory tributary, and
the citizens of this community should
give the matter of progress and civic
Improvement due consideration-it is
pure and simple a business PROPOSE
tion.
The farmers have prospered. from
the results Of diligent toll and boun-
teous crops during the year 1920, al
though some farm products were on
the decline this year. Indications
are most promising for banner crop
for the year 1921. Numerous sub
stantial Improvements have been made
during the past year by our farmers
such as new and commodious resid-
ences, modern out buildings, ETC., and
automobiles, tractors and other power
machinery are as numerous as bees.
The farmer is now using up-to-date
farming methods in Sedgwick county
and is profiting in 80 doing.
