THE FALL CAMPAIGN

A glance at the mail bags reaching
Julesburg shows that the big Chica
go and New York mail order houses
are now pushing their fall campaign
and are flooding the country with cir
culars and ratalogues, and mail order
papers are carrying their glaring
"Free" and Don't Pay Us a Penny
advertising.
And that thousands fall for these
cheap john offers is evidenced by the
fact that Uncle Sans latest posta
report shows the Chicago post office
to be doing larger business than any
other office in the United States. But
there is one thing to remember. The
dollar you send away isn't going to
help business or living conditions
right here at home, and it isn't going
to come back home
The dollar you turn over to stran-
ger instead of your hometown mer-
chant is going to be spent among
strangers, too, and you'll not have a
chance to get penny of it back. So,
since common sense teaches you that
you are going to be the loser in the
long-run, why not resolve today to
spend your money with the men who
spend theirs with you.

LET'S ALL SING

1t has been said, and truthfully
that a singing people is a happy peo-
pie. And we know that the standard
of community can be judged pret-
ty accurately by its appreciation of
good music. It's value cannot be ov-
erestimated, and the modern system
of public school instruction would be
considered incomplete if singing was
left out of it.
The war taught US many lessons of
value. one of which is the social val
ue of group, or mass singing. We
should encourage the development of
this mass singing in Julesburg and
community. We could do no more
valuable thing throughout the long
winter evenings than to have an oc-
casional "sing" in which all who wish
ed could join. The social value of
such gatherings would be worth more
to US than we can estimate; we would
be brought into closer communion
as neighbors and friends. and we'd
soon find so much in enjoyment in
them we'd make the community sing
an event worth looking forward to.

DON'T SPEND UNWISELY

Don't spend recklessly, don't spend
unwisely, but keep part of your mon
ey in circulation" says John Wana-
maker, owner of two of the greatest
dry goods stores in America. He de-
clares that instead of Tightening up
just at this time and cutting advertis-
ing appropriations, his stores are ad-
vertising heavier than they usually do,
in the belief that the very best thing
that can happen to this country will
be to keep the money circulating.
Citizens of Julesburg and commun-
ity can profit by this mans advice.
They can well afford to pay their bills
promptly so the other fellow can do
the same thing-and with everybody
meeting their bills, especially smaller
ones, we are sure to run along smooth.
ly until good times, now known to be
just around the corner, come back tc
stay.

flied by the attitude which the homes
maintain toward the school. Many
children, if they are corrected or re-
proved, will bring word to lneir par
ents that the teacher lis down on
them The parents get the idea that
tine teacher Is unfriendly and they
take no pains to conceal the notion
from the children. They encourage
the children in an attitude of passive
resistance and make them feel tnat
the school or the teacher is at fault.
Even if the teacher may be parity
responsible tor wrong conditions. the
situation is made worse by permit
ting the children to lose respect 1or
the authority over them.
Parents can help their children a
great deal by urging them to obey the
rules of the school, to work hard to
get their lessons, and to enter into the
spirit of enthusiasm which each school
room should manifest. When children
are encouraged to take that attitude,
they are APT to fall in with the de-
sires of the teacher and spirit OF
work and cooperation pervades the
room that promotes good results. But
if the parents encourage the children
in an attitude OF opposition or criti-
cism, feeling OF sullen discomfort
gets root in room. 1t spreads from
one to another, and soon it proves al
most impossible to arouse any spirit
of work or emulation.

WITH THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS-HOME ATTITUDE

Many people seem to feel that edu-
cational progress is matter princi-
paay of equipment and text beeks and
new methods and all that. Yet there
are certain forces affecting the school
work very intimately, that are never
touched by any mere change of meth
DDS and systems.
The success of a school depends pri,
marily on the extent to which the
children take hold and work and sup.
port the discipline. If the pupils are
rebellious or careless or inattentive
there is dead weight Of hostility anc
Indifference against which the besr
teacher is almost helpless.

Joe Ross Says So, and.

Why

Although Joe Ross does not

Chief Of Police Snider during some
leisure moments while Ross was
waiting to be tried in police court
on a lettering charge this morning.
Ross, who for some time has been
suspected by officers Of bootleg
ging was asked a number OF CUES
tons by the chief OF police and an
swered all Of them very willingly.
DO you find shoe shining or
bootlegging the more profitable, -
asked Chief Snider.
"oh, shoe SHINING" was the re-
ply. "Bootlegging no good any
more. No worR-nobody got mon
ey."
Ross was arrested by Officers
Holt q ndBaker at 8 O'Clock this
morning at his Pleasant street res.
ldence in company with Ada Smith
and Mary Rowe. All were brought
to police headquarters on charges
