Constitutional Amend
ment Club Organ
lied in Julesburg

DR.. K. c. Whitman, representing the
State Institutions of Higher Learning
10 here to organize Club in the
interest of the above amendment.
Officers of the club are: Treasure
V. H. Rowland; Secretary, Miss Ann
Gallagher; Publicity Committee, Mrs.
C. F. Schroeder; Membership Com
mittee, Mrs. H. D. Templeton.
These officers were elected at a
public meeting held at the Court
House on the evening Of September 4.
The Institutions, including the State
Agricultural College at Fort Collins,
the State Teachers College at Greeley,
the State University at Boulder, the
School of Mines at Golden, and the
State Normal School at Gunnison, are
all in desperate straits for money.
The present income of these institu-
tions was fixed in 1917, before the
price of supplies of every character
had begun to skyrocket. Since that
time these costs have increased up
to 800 per cent. Salaries are little
if any higher than they were at that
time, although institutions Of like rank
in neighboring states are paying sala-
ries 80 per cent to 60 per cent, or
even more, higher than those paid in
this state.
The proposed amendment does not
Of itself increase taxes at all, but
makes it possible for the legislature
to provide the additional revenues for
the state institutions, which have be-
come literally matter of life and
death. Without increased support the
institutions will be unable to hold their
present faculties, but will be forced to
replace them with men of inferior
training and ability, and the higher
school Of Colorado's educational sys-
TEN will fall into such a state of
inefficiency and disrepute that recov-
cry will be all but impossible.

Beet Growers Ask
For Fifty-Fifty
Contract Price

Denver, Colo, August ~. 1920
Today the Beet Growers committee
on contract, according to appointment,
met q second time with the officials
Of the Great Western Sugar company,
to discuss the terms Of the 1921 con-
tract.
At the prior meeting, July 18th, the
Growers committee asked q form Of
contract that would recognize the prin-
ciple that the grower should receive
for his beets the value Of one-half
Of the refined sugar derived by the
company from the beets, all by-prod-
ucts to 70 to the company, but the
committee did not at that time at
tempt to submit more than a rough
outline of the 1921 contract. The
company took the growers declara-
ton in apparent acquiescence. and
asked time for consideration Of the de-
tails of the contract to be formal, the
growers expecting agreement on the
"fifty-fifty" basis.
The position of the Sugar company
as given today by Vice-president Lip
pitt is that the company's considera-
tion of the "fifty-fifty' principle leads
them to believe that they cannot
agree to such a division. for they feel
that they would lose heavily under
such a contract at certain ranges Of
sugar prices. The growers responded
that they would likewise suffer. and
whv should not each side share in the
losses, as we'll as the profits
After full discussion the meeting
adjourned, awaiting the formulation
of the company's ideas. Mr.. Lippitt
stated that the company was still
able to change its mind and would
submit its ideas of an equitable
and liberal contract at the earliest
possible date.

There is to be another exhibit for
which no premiums are offered but
nevertheless will be more than worth
while, and that is the mercantile exhi-
bit. Secretary Deily has this in charge
and has secured large tent to house
them. Nearly every merchant in Jules
burg will have q display and are
making special plans to make it very
attractive to all visitors. The follow
ing are the merchants and dealers who
have contracted for space: Austin e.
Mccoy, Colver Bros. Music Store,
First National Bank. Geo. A. Reed,
Ralph Rozell, Julesburg Motor Co.,
R. s. Dye, Julesburg Electric Shop,
F. NJ. Sigsbee, Home Land Co., Jules
burg Tractor & Implement Co., Jones
Cash Grocery, Macs Cash Grocery,
Rozells Auto Service Station and Cit
,;aers National Bank.
The amusement features this year
are especially commendable. OF course
the big events are the races. Geo. A.
have this in charge and they have
assurances Of enough entries to fill
the entire afternoon. Each afternoon
will have both horse and auto races.
Entry blanks can be secured from Mr..
Reed at any time.
Secretary Deily early in the season
secured the Anderson-Srader Carni-
val company to make the coming week
at our fair and both Of their companies
will join forces here making COM
plete carnival company in ev.ry re-
spect for our fair. They were secured
because they had the reputs ton of
being the best and cleanest in the
country and we'll worth seeing. They
carry all the shows and concessions
that go with such a company.
Dare Devil Duncan will thrill the
crowd each afternoon in thrilling
flights in his airplane. Those who have
seen Mr.. Duncan claim that he does
all that he advertises and if he does
we know you are bound to hold your
breath. He does stunts that even Lock-
lear never dared to do and that is
going some. Don't miss seeing him.
Now there are several more free at

will keep you amused, but the eve

NEW HIGHWAY
WLLPA& THRU
JULESBURG SOON
NEW ROUTE HAS MANY ADVAN-
TAGES AND WILL AFFORD
PASS OVER MOUNTAINS WHEN
OTHER ROUTES ARE BLOCKE

Eastern New Mexico is to have an
other great highway. This is north
and south cross-connecting highway
The new highway will connect with
the Bankhead National Highway and
the Spanish Old Trail either at Pecos
or Van Morn. Texas, and from there
will connect with Ell Paso over the
Bankhead National Highway.
The highway will then go north thru
Carlsbad, Pearl, Lovington, and Ia
tum, where it will cross the Dixie
Overland Highway, thence it will ex-
tend through Portales. to Clovis where
it will cross the Ozark Trails, the
Postal highway, the Abo Pass route
and the Bankhead National highway.
From Clovis the route will extend
through Grady to Tucumcari where
Il again crosses the Ozark Trails and
the Fort-to- Fort highway, and on thru
Logan to Clayton where it crosses the
Colorado-to-Guln Highway and the
National Parks Gulf highway.
The route from Clayton leads thru
the corner of the Oklahoma Panhandle
10 Lamar, Colorado. where it will cross
The Sante Fe Trail and the National
Old Trails; thence through Burlington,
COLORADO. crossing the Pixies Peak
Oceanic Ocean highway and the Mid.
land Trail. From there it will extend
through Julesburg, Colorado, to con-
nection with the Lincoln National
Highway.
There are three distinct advantages
of this road according to d. w. Jones,
secretary Of the Clovis Chamber OF
Commerce. First, it will cross-con-
meet sixteen great national highways
making an invaluable connecting link
with those of the south. Second, it
will give eastern New Mexico and the
Texas Panhandle a direct route into
Colorado. Third, it will provide . new
winter route into Ell Psso that is below
the snow line. This route will be
available in the event the mountain
passes in the west are blocked with
1nOW.

New Sidewalk Badly
Needed for Children
Near Grade School

With the building of cement side
walk along the front Of just one lot
east of the grade school and cross
ing for the street, the school children
would have a sidewalk all the way to
school from the east part of town and
it ought to be built. If the city
council has not already ordered the
walk in, they should do so. If they
have ordered it laid they should see
that their orders are lived up to and
the walk built. After travelling for q
mile or 80 on a nice cement siwewalk
it is surely exasperating to have to
step out in the mud and finish the dis
tance through mud and slush, when
they children are only few feet from
the end of their journey. Can't those
in authority see to it that this walk
is put in?
Weeds Should be Cut
Several Of the walks near the school
house have been allowed to be grown
over with weeds. These ought by
all means to be cut. When a woman
dresses up her small children in white
clothes or white stockings and starts
them out nice and clean to school
and then they have to scrape along
dirty and dusty weed patches on the
way, it is not very conducive to the
peace of mind of the aforesaid fond
mother to see her child come home
with q dress loking as though it had
never been washed. This is especially
bad on a morning after heavy dew
or a light shower. It would take .
man and team with a mower only
two or three hours to run along the
sidevalks and cut these weeds. Surely
the city Of Jule.burg can do this much,
pride. But it will be worth the price,
to say nothing Of how much better the
street will look. to do it, and we trust
our street commissioner or whoever's
duty it is to look after such matters
will attend to the job. The worst place
is south and east Of the school house.

Is the tide beginning to turn?
Young men in some of our big

greater security of country life,
even if the hours are a little long
