Many Signers
On List For 1921
Chautauqua Her

AS was announced in the Grit-Ad-
vocate last week, Julesburg will have
a Chautauqua for 1921. Enough sign
ers were obtained to the contract to
make it certainty. We can now an
nounce that the Chautauqua next year
will have the strongest backing that
has ever been given it in this city.
Forty-four of our citizens have signed
the contract and guarantee, and they
will see that it is success. 1t will
be five-days program, as this year,
and the contract price is $500. Little
difficulty was experienced in getting
the signers. No doubt one reason
for this was the fact that the talent
given Julesburg this year was better
than the talent furnished last year
The people were more generally
pleased with the course this year than
last. Consequently, when men were
approached and asked to sign-up for
another year they did SO more will
ingly than usual. We are glad of this
and are sure the Redpath- Horner peo-
pie will see to it that we get strong
selection of attractions for our re-
ward. Below is list of the forty

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRES
DENT NOMINATED ON AT" BALLOT

Mr.. Cox was born in Butler county,
Ohio, in 1870. He attended district
school and held his first position as
teacher of the school in which he
took is first lessons. He spent even
ings and holidays in a printing office.
In a few years he received his first
assignment on the reportorial staff
of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
After ten years with the Enquirer,
he went to Washington as a private
secretary to Congressman Paul Sore
of Ohio. At the close of this service,
he purchased the Dayton Daily News,
borrowing most of the money to pay
for it. Later he purchased the Spring
field Daily News. He was first elect
ed to congress in 1908.
He recently purchased the farm near
Jacksonburg upon which he was born,
and is making it into a modern farm
home where he expects to live on
retirement from public office. He is
married and has four children.
The Democratic candidate for Vice
President is Franklin D. Roosevelt,
assistant secretary of the navy and a
distant relative of former president,
Theodore Roosevelt. He has been a
Democrat all his life and served his
party as state senator in the New
York state legislature in 1910, being
reelected in 1912.

James Middleton Cox was three
times governor Of Ohio-an honor en-
joyed by only one other Ohioan, Ruth
erford B. Hayes.
Born on a farm, educated IN the
public schools, a printers devil, a
school teacher, "a newspaper reporter,
a private secretary to a congressman,
owner. manager and proprietor OF two
newspapers, member of congress for
three years and three times governor
of his state is his record to date.
Business success pal alleled his poll
teal achievements and thru his own
efforts Cox has amassed fortune.
Mr.. Cox became the leader of the Dem
ocratic party in Ohio in 1912 when
he was nominated for governor. As
one who had brought radical changes
in the state constitution, he took the
field in its behalf. His first term
as governor was devoted chiefly to
forwarding the enactment of laws to
put the new state constitution into
effect.
But Ohio evidently was not pre-
pared to assimilate all the new laws
for Cox was defeated for reelection.
But his party renominated him in 1916
and he was reelected for third
term in 1918, being the only Democrat
to win in Ohio.

as distinct shock to the people liv-
ing over near Venango. Nebr. MIR.
Niewhoner was working for l.. S.
Smith, a farmer whose home is few
miles this side Qf Venango. and at
time Of his death, the men were work

FAIR ASSN
LAY OUT NEW
Mile TRACK
PREPARATIONS BEING MADE
FOR NEW GRANDSTAND TO BE
BUILT AT ONCE-WORK ON
TRACK WILL START SOON

The officers and Ground Committee
of the Sedgwick County Fair associa-
tion assisted by County Surveyor f.
C. Hamilton have been busy the past
few days. laying out the grounds and
track on their new property just east
of town. After looking the ground
over it was decided by the officers
to lay out mile track. There are
several advantages in track of
this size that cannot be secured by
half mile track. Many horsemen
perfer this size track and it will also
make possible to have some good auto
races. The track will be seventy-five
feet wide alt around except on the
home stretch which will be 100 feet
wide. The home stretch will be 1910
feet long and give an excellent view
to the grandstand.
The work on the grandstand will be
started at once. The grand stand is
to be made permanent and will face
the southeast giving the spectators
the sun in their back. A base ball
diamond will be laid out just inside
of the track.
It is the intention of the officers
to push all the work as rapidly as pos
sible and have everything in readi-
ness for the big fair in September.
The officers are to be commended
for their efforts in obtaining these
grounds and their zeal in pushing the
work.

Every Man on
4th Street Signs
For Gravelling

+. N. Kelsey and w. F. Stafford,
the committee of two who were ap-
pointed last week to interview the pro
perty holders along the street running
east from the Methodist church rela-
tive to the proposition Of gravellinc
that street, obtained the cooperation
of every man along the street and
work on the project has commenced
The people of the Methodist church
also took up the idea and decided
10 gravel the street just east of the
church edifice, and this much of the
work has been completed, they being
the first to get the gravelling finish
ed. 1t was then decided to gravel
the entire block around the court
house and we are informed this work
also will be hastened with all posi-
Bile speed. This is one of the incest
improvements that could be made in
Julesburg and is second only to paw
ing. The Grit-Advocate is glad to
see such evidence of advancement
and congratu!ates those who started
the move for gravelled streets. 1t
tends to better things and adds to our
pride in our progressive city. Now
would be a good time for residents
along other streets to take up the
idea and consider it.

INDUSTRIAL N)-

FACTORY SITE
OFFICERS SPEND DAY IN THIS
CITY LOOKING OVER SITES
AND PROSPECTS FOR NEW
BUILDING TO BE STARTED

Prospects for a sugar factory at
Julssburg look . little brighter once
more. On Monday evening the offic,
srs and directors of the Industrial
Sugar Co. of Denver, arrived in the
city for the purpose of again going
svSR the ground and viewing the sit
nation in the matter of locating an
other sugar factory. The company is
nearing completion of the TT. Lupton
plant and expect to start the erection
Of q second plant in the next thirty
or sixty days. Just where the second
plant is to be located at the present
time is not known and the officers
are not making any promises as to
}ust where it will be. They have
several sites in view. One on the
western slope Of the mountains, one IN
the southern part of the state and one
in the northeastern part Of the state
in or near Julesburg. They met and
discussed the various sites with some
of the prominent farmers and business
men Of this city, Monday evening and
Tuesday morning they entered autos
and visited the various sites and the
conditions Of the crops in this vicinity,
leaving here to view the situation at
Ovid and Sedgwick.
We should know in .he next thirty
or sixty days just what the prospects
are here for a factory. Julesburg ls
geographically situated that it would
Be- by far the best location for a
factory of any city in the northeast,
ern part of the state. It's railroad
facilities are of the very best and
this gives it a drawing power that
could not be obtained by any, other
town. Let us all put in a good word
for the proposition and keep up our
faith SO that we can obtain this plant
if it will be possible to do 50.

REV. Heb IN HOSPITAL

Rev. Louis Heb, formerly pastor of
the Congregational church in Jules
burg, left Franklin, Nebr., Monday
of this week for Denver, where he
will enter St. Luke's Hospital for an
operation. We understand the opera

caused by overlifting, once, when Mr..
Heb was in the soldiers training
camp work, during the war. We are
sure Rev. Heb will be glad to see
any of his former Julesburg friends,
if they happen to be in Denver dur
ing his confinement in the hospital,
and that they all will hope for his
speedy recovery.
