interviewing the business establish
ments in the county relative to plac-
ing advertisements in the Sedgwick

ENROLMENT OF OVER TWO HUNDRED
DOrmtories And Cafeteria Will Be Ready On
Opening Date; Room And Board To Be
Furnished To Students Who
Desire At Reasonable Prices

The county high school will be open
two weeks from next Monday, Sept
fifth. So many inquiries are being
received concerning the courses of
study ,dormitories, etc. that it will be
necessary to put out bulletin ans
wering the questions in detail.
The dOrmitories and cafeteria will
be ready for the beginning of school
Accommodations may be reserved by
notifying the superintendent. Par
ents who contemplate sending chill
dren to room and board at the dormi-
tories or to take their noon lunches
should send word as soon as possible.
Each dormitory room is equipped by
the school with furniture, cot and mat
tresses, the student is required to fur
nish bedding, linen, towels, a couch
coveB and curtain for window.
The room is equipped for two with
separate closets and cots. hot and cold
water and steam heat.
Students must care for their room
and the halls. Each dormitory will
be in charge of matron. The boys
will also be under the supervision Of
the coach of athletics, who will room
in the dormitory. Further details
concerning requirements will be Civ
en- on consultation.
1t is the plan of the committee to
furnish room and board at the dormi-
tory from Monday until Friday for
four dollars. Where the students
wish to remain over Saturday and
Sunday the rate will be seven dollars.
The higher rate for seven days is
charged for the purpose of discourage
ing tendency to leave the student
in town over the week end. Parents
are urged to take pupils home if pos
sible, as experience shows it far bet
ter for the youngsters welfare. A
competent and experienced cook has
been secured for the cafeteria so that
the best of good cooking will be pro-
vided in the cafeteria. AS the dormi-
tory proposition is purely cooperative
the rates will be made as low as pos
sible and if experience shows they
can be reduced this will be done.
The faculty for next year for the
County High School has been hired
with the exception of one teacher at
Sedgwick.

RUNAWAY TEAM
WRECKS LIGHT
POSTS ON lST. ST.

A three horse team belonging to
county treasurer Earl c. Harris, and
driven by Mr.. Roy McMan, who is
employed by Mr.. Harris. ran away on
West Frist street this morning at
about $3.50 o'clock. The unruly hor-
ses were being driven to wagon, and
coming east, became frightened near
the Commercial Hotel.
All efforts upon the part of Mr.
McMan to get them under control
were futile. and the frightened ami
mails came on down the street in a
mad rush. When in front of the rail
road park. the team and wagon collid-
ed with two of the white way" light
posts, completely wrecking one by
tearing out the new cement founda-
tidn and damaging the other. The
wagon box was thrown clear of the
wagon, and Mr.. McMan, who had
been holding on to the horses up until
this time was also thrown out, but
fortunately was not seriously injured
although bruised up some.
The horses were stopped after the
collision with the light posts. The
wagon was not damaged to much ex-
tent, and the horses were again hitch
ed to the wagon, and driven away by
Mr. McMan.

TRADE AT HOME

UP JULESBURG

1t is frequently alleged in favor Of
mail order buying, that the enormous
concern in some distant city buys in
large quantities, so therefore it can
do business cheaper. But this es6-
mate neglects some important items
in the calculation.
The big city mail order house is DO,
ing business in the most costly kind
Of location. 1t must pay big prices
for rents, which is a large item. Its
help have to pay the highest costs OF
living in the big cities and consequent
ly must be more highly paid. The ex-
penses run higher in metropolitan
centers, and the fellow who sends in
by mail has to buy goods distributed
on this higher level Of expense.
Furthermore the mail order houses
have q costly system Of distribution.
If you 90 to your home dealer in
Julesburg to buy \ shirt, he sells you
one that has been transported in .
large case with one set Of freight and

tation costs on each individual article
in that packing case are an insignifi-
cant item.

Are you saving your pennies?
Just two more days now until they
will be messed to help lay those two
i-biocks of pennies along Cedar Street,
Saturday afternoon and evening, Aug
Goth
You may have heard of streets
paved with gold but did you ever hear
of curbings paved with copper?
That's what the Julesburg Woman's
Club expects to do to the curbing
and see how copper paving looks and
bring all the coppers you can scrape
together to help along the paving
proposition.
A paving of pennies along the curb
ing on both sides of Cedar between
First and Second will surely prove
most interesting and unusual spec
tacle and it is hoped that no one will
miss this opportunity of seeing so
many pennies all at one time. or Of
adding to them. For the pennies are
to go toward tha hospital and library
funds of the Woman's Club.
Members of the Woman's Club
have been divided into two teams, one
for the east and one for the west side
Of the street. Mrs. Jacob Friclel
is captain of the east side and Miss
Teresa MCGOWAN of the west side.
At three o'clock the lines of pennies
will be started on both sides of the
street and from three to eight the
rivalry will wax keen between the two
sides to see which can lay the long
est line of pennies.
Come down and watch the contest
and help your side out Saturday.
