PLATTE RIVER FULL TO

On account of the heavy rains and
destructive floods in other sections of
the state, the South Platte river here
has been gradually raising during the
past several days, and this Thurs

il will have to raise considerably more

number of years. Old-timers inform
a reporter that a good many years
ago the river overflowed and covered
the bottoms south of Julesburg, and
at one time the water came up to the
south side of the railroad tracks here.
Fortunately this community is SO
situated as not to be in the path of
any apparent flood danger such as
has the distressful condition west of
Sterling and the terrible Pueblo disas-

HELP B00ST

The season of auto touring is here,
and with a general reduction in the
price of cars and gasoline at the low

that this section will be visited by
more motorists this summer than at
any time in its history.

PSYCHOLOGY OF
BUSINESS MEMS
ASSOCIATION

Business Mems Associations of the
: Chamber Of Commerce type have had
the strong and the weak points of the
commercial community. Business men
are engaged in the competitive man.
agement Of industry, with personal
reward as the motive. When they
unite for advancement of the business
of town, they show much the same
characteristics that they do in their
own daily labor.
They have the initiative and drive
that goes with an individually owned
enterprise. The competitive struggle
develops the qualities of self help and
impatience with delays, and the ten
dency to measure the success of the
effort in terms of money gain or loss.
These qualities will appear in a well
managed business mans organization
and they give it the power that ac-
complishes large results.
A good community organization,
however, demands something more. 1t
must manifest the spirit of co-opera-
ton and getting together, of harmony
between business rivals. of tolerance
Of conflicting views. The organiza-
ton must not expect that its results
can be wholly measured in terms of
dollars and cents. 1t must work also
for social happiness and welfare of
the people and for service to all in
terests in Julesburg and community.
A good many business mems organ
izations have failed to accomplish
much, because they looked to CONNER
cial profit alone. If their money
making enterprises happened to fall
down, they had accomplished nothing
for civic advance, and the people
would feel that their effort had been
frui:less.
A broad and modern business mems
movement will make civic advance
and human welfare it's first objective.
When it attains that, business gains
will follow as necessary incident.
That is the kind of ideal which the
business men and citizens of Jules
burg should hold in view in such an
organization as the Julesburg Com
munity Club, which at the present
time seems to be peacefully sleeping.
We do not make the latter statement
with any malicious intent whatsoever
but to the contrary, we would like
to see more Pep inserted into this
organization. The Community Club
should always be kept alive and ac-
tive, and regular meetings held in
order that matters pertaining to the
welfare of the community may be
given the proper attention.
Let's rejuvenate the Julesburg
Community Club. The officers of this
organization should not be expected
to do it all-every progressive citi-
zen should do his full share in max
ing this ORGANIZATIONS success GER
tainty. The community club, if ac-
tive, is one of Julesburg's biggest as
sets, and we are overlooking an i'm
portant feature of this community's
progress when we allow the commu-
nifty club to become dormant.

"ALL THAT GILT
TERSN NOT GOLD
STOCK SCHEMES

"All that glitters is not gold, is .
very true saying in great many in
stances, and especially is this state
ment true when used to illustrate
some of the "fake" stock selling
schemes that have thrived in this and
other communities during the past
year or so.
1t would be hard to estimate the
large amount of money that has been
taken out of Julesburg and Sedgwick
county during the past year by num-
Der of smooth-tongued stock sales
men, who painted a picture SO allur-
ing that even the wisest became their
prey, and contributed to their "soft-
soaped" schemes. 1t is suffice to
say that if this money had been ex-
pended in home enterprises there
would need be no money stringency.
But it is hoped that the smooth
stock statesmen have had their day,
and that the past experience will be
lesson to all of US in the future.
1t is but another case of playing the
other mans game. with him holding
the high card in most instanc~s,
when we are induced to make in
vestments in outside concerns.
Julesburg and Sedgwick county Of
fers numerous opportunities for in
vestments to those who have money
to invest. We had much better keep
our dollars at home, where we know
that we will at least have run for
our money" and that it will not fall
in the hands of grafters and swind-
lers, who usually figure the residents
of the rural districts "easy pickin."
And there have been lot of US who
have been picked" there's no deny
ing that fact; some having been hit
harder than others.
No doubt there are some stock-sell-
ing schemes that are bonafide, and
perhaps prove good investments, but
we are frank to admit that it is our
firm belief that these enterprises are
few and far between. In most cases
it develops later that the person who
departs with his or her hard-earned
dollars has simply contributed to some
stock salesman's twenty-five or thirty
per cent commission and sometimes
more, the balance going into channels
which you cannot understand, and
probably never will.
we suggest thaC 1uCure StOck-seli-
ing schemes launched by gifted stock
statesmen, who come to the community
as strangers, work US for all they can,
then fade out of sight, be given the
cold shoulder, which will be tip to
these flim-flammers to give this COM
munity wide berth when looking for
victims. Let US devote our energies
and capital to the upbuilding of home
enterprises, the benefits of which will
result in considerable more progress
and prosperity.

it, and as they pass along they speak
a good word for US and the commun-
ity in which we live. Then, too, al
most all of them are in need Of &C.
cessories or repairs. of food or re-
freshments, and our trades people
profit by their visits. So it is not a
bad idea at all to court the visits of
the auto tourists, to invite them this
way, and to give them to understand
and make them feel that they are
welcome during their stay here.
This is something every man, wo-
man and child can do without sacri-
ficing anything more than a little
time. And considering the big re-
turns from being courteous to strang-
ers we have every reason to believe
every last one of our people will take
it upon themselves individually to
do so.

MEN ON JOBS TO

PRINCETON, July 6.--Twenty under
graduates Of Princeton are spending their
summer vacations working wherever they
can get Jobs in order to study he con
ditions of wage earners and their rela-
tions with their employers.
They are living, eating and sleeping as
other laborers and wage eurners. Every
week they meet in groups to discuss the
things they have learned and prepare
report to be given to other college men
and future employers One of the pur-
poses is to see If they can discover means
Of improving TIE conditions Of the wage
earners.
For six weeks before the university
closed, sixty Princeton men voluntarily
attended course of lectures in which
they listened to speakers alternately rep
resenting the standpoint of labor and
capital. They read on industrial condi-
lions to equip them for their effort
They do not hope to reyolutioni2e the
conditions Of the wage earners but they
do hope to be able to make few sug-
gestions to employers and capitalists.
The plan was suggested by Sherwood
Eddy. Y. NJ. C. A. secretary.
Some of the Princeton men are at
work in New York, Philadelphia, Denver,
Minneapolis and other cities. They
agreed that none Of them should accept
job if by so doing he threw out Of
employment another man. The commit
tee in charge obtained positions for
more than half Of the applicants and
these were given to men who were work
ing their way through college. The rest
sought their own places.

SILENT GUN TO

Gas Bombs Can. Be Hurled
Across Small Countries
With New Weapon.

NEW YORK. July 5.-A silent gun that
viii shoot four-ton explosive gas bombs
200 or 500 miles at a velocity of one to
FIVE miles a second is in process of de
veIopment by Hudson Maxim and group
Of associates. The system is based on
a new principle in the explosion Of or
binary smokeless gunpowder.
In q demonstration conducted in an
office on the fifty floor Of New
York skyscraper, a steel bullet three
inches long and a half inch in diameter
was shot through a three quarter-inch
steel plate at a velocity Of one mile a
second, materially greater velocity than
has been developed in projectiles Of any
kind.
= The demonstration was silent. the sole
sound being the impact of the bullet as
it bored through the plate. The silencer
IS on a new principle and is in no way
a copy Of the old principles Of the Maxim
siIencer.
The original invention is the work o.
Robert Temple, an English inventor.
: It's ultimate application to the hurling
rof huge bombs across extraordinary dis
tanees in actual warfare has been passed
on by experts and pronounced to be prac-

The invention is to be applied 10 steel
construction work This afternoon a
threaded Steel. bolt was driven through a
three quarter inch steel plate. The gun
was in contact with the plate, and the
charge was mea sured so that the bolt
stopped in the plate. The threads were
intact and a nut was screwed on. The
charge was only 20 grains OF ordinary
smokeless powder.
The gun resembles an ordinary air com
preston drill. Observers could easily
have imagined that the force was COM
pressed air. There was no reeon, no
smoke, practically no heat Only faint
Kissing Of slowly, escaping gases after
the discharge.
It was announced that the model had
been used by divers under water for ap-
plicatiOn to steel work. and that ii
operated as well as In the air.
Sir Edgar ReeS Jones, member Of Par
lament and former Chief OF the British
Ministry Of Munitions, is associated with
the Americans in the development Of the
invention.
