CHERSO: MAY BE THE
HELGOLAND OF
ADRIATIC

The RapallO agreement of last No
veDber which fixed the status of the
troublesome city of Fiume and dis
posed of other moot points in regard
10 territory on the eastern shore of
the Adriatic sea. gave Italy an i'm
portant foothod near Fiume in the OBJ
scure island of Cherso.
Practically unheard of on this side
of the Atlantic, Guiding most travel
ers, even escaping many of the"seek-
ers after the little-known places of
Europe, Cherso neither is inaccessi-
BILE nor unattractive.
II bangles like pendant I'm the
Gulf of Quarnero, low hung from the
neck of Fiume. 1t is the Long Island
of that port, its shore line rising II
miles TO the south. Its slender form
extends TO the southwest for 40 miles,
though IL never exceeds seven miles in
width, and its area is somewhat more
than twice that of the District of
Columbia.
Holding in mind this location, near
the head of the Adriatic. in view of
the plans to make Fiume a buffer
state between Italy and Jugo-S lavia,
the strategic possibilities Of Cherso
become apparent. Inded one may pic
ture 1t as a potential Helgoland of
the Adriatic.
A natural curiosity Of the island is
Lake Vrana. or Crows Lake. with a
surface 40 feet above the sea level,
fed and drained by invisible streams.
The island is rugged. with one noun
tain peak rising more than 1000 feet
above the Quarnero waters. Gibral-
tar-like rocks rise precipitously
1000 feet along one of its shores.
Here are the dome-like caverns of
Smergo, now protected from the sea
by wave-built rock barrier.
The devastating Bora, which sweeps
the Dalmatian coast, drips its salt
spray over ChersO, excluding many va
rieties of plant life. The absence of
large trees and scarcity of springs
are two physical characteristics. In
the north laurel and mastic grow. and
vines and olive trees abound In the
southern portion.
Politically Cherso was included ir
Istria, when under Austrian rule
With its AeIghbor islands, Lussin, t.
the southwest, and Veglia, to the
east, IL was part of the Lussin dis
trict.
Cherso lies off the shores of the
northern part of Dalmatia and the
Croatian littoral. a region formerly
} known as Morlacchia. The Morlac
CHA channel preserves this name orig
-inatinga with the Slavic invaders OF
Dalmatia. who "called the Latinlzed
people they found there Vlachs, oil
Mavro- Vlachs-Black Vlachs." Thus
the Slavs of this region have come tC

title, as Morihchs.

BUILD MORE SCHOOLS

AS long as farmers consider the
digging of potatoes, the topping of
beets, the shucking of corn, etc. of
more value than school work or as a
substitute for the exercise that comes
with play, just so long are we going
to have class of citizens under-priv-
iledged and unable to appreciate the
full value of service to the county in
which they live.
Of course the boys and girls must
not grow up in idleness, but we want
the children of this generation to
have better educations, better trained
minds, than any generation that has
gone before. This cannot be done un-
til all of our rural communities put
into effect real health program and
do away wherever possible with the
little, isolated schools. Let our coun-
ties be dotted with consolidated
schools, offering not only better IA
cilities for education, but also wider
chance for human intercourse and
the development of that play spirit so
much needed by our fine rural COM
munities.

one case of misery we find a dozen
cases of happiness. There isn't actual
want, or privation, or heart-rending
cases of neglect in Julesburg, and we
know of no such cases in the commun-
ity surrounding. But with all this
there is still more happiness to be
had than we have experienced during
the past year if we will but make up
our minds now, as we start new year
to search for it.
Hunting for happiness is just like
hunting for anything else-the harder
you hunt the more apt you are to find
it. 1t isn't going to come to you, un-
less you cultivate the habit Of carry
ing it to others. Why not make one
big, wholesome resolution for the new
year-make it broad and then stick to
it. Aad why not let that resolution
be that you will do at least one kind
ly act toward relative, neighbor, a
friend, or even stranger who may
be in our midst every day during the
entire year. This doesn't mean you
will have to dig into your pocket for
a present every day. 1t doesn't mean

COOPERATIVE MARKETING

The so-called Capper-Volstead bill
for cooperative marketing of farm
products is one of the most important
measures before Congress. 1t not
merely has the unanimous support of
the agricultural group, but many OF
the consumers organizations favor
the idea.
Some people assert that such legis,
latiOn would admit form of organi-
zation for handling agricultural pro-
ducts that would not differ theoretic-
ally from the control now exercised by
many trusts and combinations that
handle factory merchandise. But the
farmers movement differs from many
monopolistic propositions, in that ii
seeks to make real step toward ef-
ficiency, by helping the farmers as q
group to do their own marketing rath-
er than hiring other people to do it
for them.
The rapid growth of the co-opera-
tive marketing movement, indicates
that the farmers find that it gives
them larger return for their pro-
duct.
Even if the result is not to decrease
prices to the consumer, the general
public may benefit. Business has
been held up in the past year, by the
fact that the farmers, owing to low
prices of their products, could not buy
as much factory stuff as they used to-.
But if by better methods of distribu-
tion, they can get larger proportion
of the price that the consumer pays,
then the agricultural population will
be able to buy more factory products.
This will enable mills that have run
irregularly during the past year, to
operate with less interruption.
The problem is to keep the consum-
er's food costs where they are, or low
er, and to get larger proportion of
the price paid to the producer. If
that can be accomplished by new mar
keting plans, tremendous gain for
the entire country will be achieved.

4 STUPENDOUS ACHIEVEMENT

Three or four months ago a lot of
people were making much fun of the
new administration that had gone in
to power on a pledge to reduce ~the
cost of government. 1t was charged
that they had been in office for six
months, and had done nothing to get
taxes down. All this time Mr.. Hard
ing's bunch kept quiet, but they were
saving wood every day.
The new budget, provided by the
law passed by the present Congress,
is now published. 1t almost takes the
peoples breath away. 1t seems too
good to be true. Here is the amazing
fact that where the actual expendi-
lures of the government were $685.
040,6y for the fiscal year ending on
June 30th, 1921, they are estimated at
but s., ,5O5, ,754,727 for the year ending
June 80, 1928. He is a reduction Of
the enormous sum Of $2,032, ,285, 1862 in
two years.
Probably never before in 4 time Of
peace, have the expenses of gov
ernment been reduced so fast. 1t is
not the case Of saving money by
bringing q war to an end. The war
ended Nov. IL, 1918. The expenses
should have been reduced at once, but
instead the costly habits incurred dur
ing the war kept right on in large
measure, and the expenses for the
year ending last June 80 were far be-
yond reason.
The present administration tackled
its heroic task with superb business
ability and determination. It slashed
red tape, turned deaf ear to spoils
seekers, and has told routine execu-
tives and loafing employees that they
must get down to business, and oper-
ate with the same efficiency that is
seen in private enterprises.
The results achieved would have
been considered incredible and i'm
possible last year. Now it only re-
mains for Congress to make good, and
to back up the supremely able men
who have been able to lay out the
lines of this proposition. The remov-
al Of all these taxes must have a tre-
mendous effect to liven up business.
and give the American people new
courage.

THE NEW YEAR
New Year of 1922.

Welcome New Year OF 1872.
A new year will soon dawn upon us
as Father Time has decreed that the
year 1921 will soon have passed on in
to history. There is but one way to
get more out of the year 1922 than
we got out of the year which preceded
it-and that is to start it right.
Good resolutions made upon the
New Year are just like so much pie
crust, they are very easily broken, un-
less you make a firmer resolution
than all the others-and that is re-
solve to keep them. There is but one
safe way to lay out those resolutions,
and that is to look back over the years
that have gone, single out mistakes
that have been made, and then resolve
not to make the same mistakes again.
Despite the fact that there is lot
of misery in the world, if we could
corral it, drive it all into one big
bunch, and then take note of it. But
fortunately there is happiness enough
to over-balance it, and where we find
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1921-12-29

When some industrial trouble ap-
pears, you see these radicals coming
forward and demonstrating the class
hatred that they have 70 carefully ex-
plotted. They succeed in convincing
some people that the business system
is a cruel and ruthless machine, the
purpose Of which is to grind the life
out of the poor people, in order to
make profits for the hoggish rich.
These pr0pagandists enter old es-
tablished trade and industrial unions,
and by their persistence and volubili-
ty gain influence in these organiza-
tlons, and use them for revolutionary
purposes, contrary to the desire of the
majority of the members.
These emissaries never mention
certain fundamental facts. The first
of these is that if the income of the
rich were all divided up among the
mass of the people, it would amount
to only small sum for each person.
The second is, that people of wealth.
with all their faults, do not spend the
bulk of their earnings on personal
luxuries. The bulk of their revenues
are saved and used for improving the
farms, for creating factories, and har-
Messing water powers, for building of
railroads and making machines. This
equipment reduces the cost of produc-
ton, and helps keep prices down.
Third, community either has to
reward skill, enterprise, and industry,
in which case some people will be-
come richer than others, or it must
treat everybody alike, in which case
premium is put on laziness, and the
community sinks to the misery that
exists today in Russia.
Nothing is gained by prosecuting
the Red propagandists, but someone
who knows something should answer
their silly arguments.

moment-and that is as kindly an act
