PAVED STREETS
IN .JULESBURG IS
1920 SCHEDULE

A msstin9 Of business men and citi-
ssas WAS held In Julesburg the latter
pert Of last week. at which gathering
several important matters pertaining
to the welfare and progress Of Jules
burg were discussed, cheif of which
vas that Of Q movement to pave sew
seal blocks Of the business section of
this city.
It was pointed out at this i'm
pesmptu meeting that the paving Of
0evefal blocks Of the business streets
IN Julssbarg would be the forerunner
Of q great wave of progress which
would reap great mutual benefite to
the community, and this movement
should receive the cooperation of all
the progressive citizens Of the COM
munity, who have a heartfelt interest
In seeing Julesburg forge ahead in tn,
front ranks of civic improvement.
It is a foregone conclusion that the
movement to pave will meet opposi-
ton from some, but it is thought that
any obstacles placed in the way can
be overcome by united effort upon
the part of those who wish to see
Julesburg make the proper strides OF
progress and keep pace with the fer
tile and prosperous territory tributary
thereto.
The year 1920 should be banner
wear in the matter Of civic improve
ment in Julesburg, and large num-
Der Of the citizens of the community
are determined to use their best
forts toward pushing Julesburg ahead
and eliminate some of the "old fogies"
who have held progress back to suit
their own selfish interests. More
"pep" is needed in community work
and all Indications point to Mr.. PEP
stepping into the limelight right here
In our midst and bringing about a re-
juvenation of community conditions
which will make Julesburg bigger
and better place in which to live.

FAIR ASSOCIATION TO HOLD
MEETING THIS MONTH

The Sedgwick County Fair Assocl-
alton will hold their annual meeting in
this city this month, an official notice
appearing elsewhere in this issue of
the Grit Advocate. It is hoped that
this meeting, in addition to the cleo
ton of officers for the ensuing year,
will result in some definite action be-
ing taken towards securing perma-
nent fair grounds, which will mean
much towards the success of the 1871
county fair. The majority of the citl-
zens of Sedgwick county. are strong
for a county fair, but realize that per-
manent grounds and buildings are
necessary to make the fair big sue

Wake up Julesburg, . new year has
dawned upon usl
With the beginning Of the year 1920
the citizens Of Julesburg and commun-
ity have golden opportunity before
them-that Of making this city big
ger and much better place in which to
live. The achievements Of the past
year have been commendable and
much greater than that of previous
years. We now have a new and mod
ern power plant. at least mile more
Of cement sidewalks, a modern picture
grain elevator, an up-to date exclu-
sive mems and boys clothing store,
over thirty more new and modern resi
dences. white-way lighting system,
etc.
The year 1919 was prosperous one
for the citizens of Julesburg and Sedg-
wick county-a record d-breaker in
many respects. The population has
increased materially and everything
is now ready for making the new year
1920 the banner year in the matter of
development and improvement. Jules
burg must do it's share to keep pace
with the rapid strides Of progress be-
ing made in the territory tributary,
and the citizens of this community
should give the matter of progress and
civic improvement due consideration
its business proposition pure and
simple.
The farmers have prospered from
the results of diligent toll and bounte-
Gus crops during the ysar 1919, ar
indications are most promising for
repetition Of this pleasing condition
along agricultural lines for the year
1920. Numerous substantial improve
ments have been made during tn past
year by our farmers such as new and
commodious residences, modern out
buildings, etc, and automobiles and
tractors are as numerous as bees. The
farmer is using up-to-date farming
methods in Sedgwick county and is
profiting two-fold in so doing. -.

MANY DEATHS
CAUSED BY WOOD
ALCOHOL WHISKEY

After reading the accounts of the
hundreds of deaths caused by bootleg
whiskey made from wood alcohol, one
shudders to think of what some mis-
creant will do in order to obtain the
coin of the realm. Prohibition in the
strictest sense of the word has been
given a real boost from the wood
alcohol whisky incidents: and the boot
leggers are going to be dealt with
more severely. Their cause is fastly
dwindling. The wood alcohol TRACE
dies will be warning to all thinking
persons who will prefer to adhere to
"safety first" methods rather than to
take chances with violators Of the pro-
hibition laws.
