individual chapters, and if this fund
lies dormant and is not used to pro-
mote the work advocated by Red Cross
principles that it can be rightfully
commandeered by the National Treas
ury in Washington, to be set to work
in other localities and places.
"Of course this is not going to hap
pen in Julesburg where the citizens
are now aligned for progressive and
active advancement in Red Cross
work, that will put this chapter among
the most prominent in the district.
by way of suggestion, l would
say that this chapter reach out into
the more distant localities of Sedg-
wick county and weld the whole terri
tory into compact, well knit unit to
present an unbroken front when pro-
noting the general welfare of this
section. Thereby you will be aligned
for efficiency all along the line and
the financing of the undertaking will
become light and easy task.
Il would suggest as basis Of op-
GRAFTON that you divide your inter-
ests and activities into three divi-
sions:
l. Home Service or assistance to
discharged soldiers, whether it be
to assist our boys to adjust claims,
or to secure medical or hospital at
tention, or to aid them in their high
er aspirations to obtain vocational
training; or we must even go06o far
as to extend financial assistance
whenever any legitimate reason die
tates the necessity thereof.
SO. Nursing and Health Program.
This class of work is already being
done most efficiently by your local
nurse, Miss MCGOWAN, whose untiring
energy is attested to by all who had
occasion to call upon her for service.
But her field of labor is as wide as
this county and every district must
benefit by her presence. Therefore,
transportation must be provided by
the chapter so that her duties may be
made possible and that all who give
may exercise their right to take.
"3. The Junior Red Cross should
be organized in all of the schools of
the county. The very motto 81 serve"
which is instilled into the child by the
Red Cross policy is bound to produce
one result, namely, to train the COM
ing man or woman to service and use
fulness to the community-the lega-
cy of the Greatest Mother on Earth.
"In conclusion will say, that an
executive meeting be held once each
month to receive reports from your
secretary treasurer; past work be dis
cussed and new plans be formulated
for the future. All outlying places
should be asked to send representa-
tives that they may form centers Of
enthusiasm for the greatest >. cause
which blesses the world today.
"Needless to say, l, as district rep
resentative, or the Denver offices are
ever at your disposal, to help solve
problems and to give guidance to your
energetic and enthusiastic labors.
Miss McGowan's report should be
heard at each monthly meeting. her
needs should be supplied and every
assistance cheerfully extended, so
that her work may receive manifes-
tation of your interest and glory as
we'll"

District court convened in Julesburg
Tuesday morning, with Hon. II; Z.
Munson of Sterling as the presiding
Judge.
The petit jury consisting of thirty
six men from various parts OF the
county reported for jury duty Fiues-
day morning at ten O'Clock.
The first case to come before the
court was that of The People VS.. John
Bush, grand larceny. On account OF
the states chief witness being apsent
from the county, the court continued
this case until . later date.
The next case was that of The Peo-
ple VS.. C, W. Tucker and A. L. Nor
ris, charged with grand larceny. A
GOOD share of Tuesday morning and
an hour in the afternoon was taken
up in securing jury in this case. Dis.
trict Attorney Roy T. johnson OF
Sterling and deputy district attorney
W. H. Pound of Julesburg represent
ed the prosecution and Attorney 1. -
Munson of Sterling appeared in behalf
of the defendants. After the jury
had been accepted by both sides, the
case came to sudden ending when an
agreement was reached in which the
defendants were allowed to enter q
plea of guilty upon a charge OF petit
larceny instead of grand larceny as
originally charged. Tucker and NOR
ris were each fined $4,000 and costs
and given a sentence of 6o days II

HOUSES, BARNS AND
OTHER PROPERTY DE-
STR0YED; NO LIVES LOST

In other sections of the county the
effects of the storm was felt, and
while not quite SO terrific as WAS the
case on the south table, the wind did
more or less damage, and came very!
near being of cyclOnic nature. In
Julesburg trees were blown down in
the railroad park and other damage in
CURED, but not of serious nature.
One freak of the storm was that of q
box car which was standing in the
Union Pacific yards here. The wind
was so terrific that the car was blown
down the track eastward onto the
main line, gaining speed all the while.
When on the main line the wind took
1t down the track eastward at a live
ly gait and the car was later found
about three-quarters Of mile east
OF Big Springs, or almost thirteen
miles east of Julesburg.
A large amount of rain accompan-
led the storm here as we'll as west of
this city, there being considerable
hail in the latter section, especially
in the vicinity of Ovid, and the grow
ing crops suffered quite little dam
age. At various places the fields and
roads were temporarily converted in
to lakes.
Wednesday evenings storm was one
Of the most terrific and damaging
that has visited this section for
years. Every hour new reports come
in of additional damage done at var
ious farms in this locality, and it is
hard to estimate the total amount Of
| loss incurred, but it is suffice to say
that it is a heavy one to the residents
of this section.

A cyclone destroyed houses,
barns, garages, Outbuildings. etc, on
the south table Wednesday after
noon about $50 o'clock, and as a re-
suit thousands of dollars worth Of
damage was incurred to number of
farmers residing in the path of the
twister.
Perhaps the most serious damage
done was at the VIM. Buchholz place
about thirteen miles and half
southeast of Julesburg. The cyclone
swept down upon this place, taking
everything in its destructive path.
Mrs. Buchholz and two children were
in the house at the time. Without
scarcely moments notice the house
was torn asunder, being completely
destroyed, and it was nothing short
of a miracle that Mrs. Buchholz and
children escaped with their lives.
They were hurled in the air and onto
the ground several feet away. Mrs.
Buchholz suffered painful injuries
about the head, but DR.. G. F. Ewing,
who was called to render medical aid,
reports that it is probable that her
injuries are not of a serious nature.
The children suffered only minor
bruises. Mr. Buchholz was at the
Earl Green place a short distance west
and witnessed the destruction of his
place. He Immediately went to the as
sistance of his family.
At the Buchholz farm the house,
barn and outbuildings all were des-
troyed A large truck was thrown 60
feet and badly damaged, windmill des-
troyed, and in fact, the twister made
clean sweep, incurring damage es-
timated at several thousand dollars,
with no insurance.
The cyclone travelled in north
easterly direction, leaving path of
destruction in its course. Numerous
barns, windmills, outbuildings, etc
were blown down. AS an illustration,
at the J. C. Penney place about fif-
teen miles south Of this city practi-
cally all Of the buildings except the
house were wrecked. At the Hugh
Green farm 13 miles southeast of here
the garage, outbuildings and wind
mill were destroyed. One peculiar
thing at this place was the fact that
the garage here was blown dow but
Ford car that was housed inside
withstood the storm without dam
age, the windshield not even being
broken. At the Penney place horses
were found considerable distance
away after the storm and still tied to
the manger that had been in the
barn that was wrecked,
At the various farms which were
in the path of the cyclone consider
able damage was done, such as barns
blown down, wind-mills and outbuild-
ings wrecked. etc. A large amount of
rain fell, and the fields and roads at
different places were veritable lakes
As far as we have been able to as
certain, there were no lives lost,
which is most fortunate circum-
stance, although thousands of dollars
worth of property were destroyed.

Dead Heroes

Dead Heroes
They sleep! No music of bugle calls
Can break the calm of that dream
less rest;
The rafting volley of musket falls
In swift farewell Ger each quiet
breast.
You would not wake them with
battle cry!
You would not call them to fight
and die!
They rest! The treasure of peace
they won,
Through weary marches, and pain,
and blood,
Illumes our way, as the shining sun
Sheds glorious light over land and
flood.
No flag so fair as above them
waves!
No flower too sweet for Our He
roes' graves.
They paid the price for our peaceful
land;
They saved the banner with all its
stars.
And now they are resting, a silent
band;
Neither strife nor danger their
slumber mars.
You would not call them to earth
again!
To face its sorrow, its toll and
pain!

The new hospital association is rap
idly working towards the opening of
its institution. The most favorable
aspect of the question, up to date, is
the strange and unexpected enthusi-
asm in which the movement is re-
ceived by the people not only of Jules
burg, nor Of Sedgwick county alone,
but from all outlying districts. Even
from our sister state does the cheer
full reception of the venture make the
heart feel glad and assure success.
Nor is this surprising. Every fami-
ly, yes every individual, is bound to
benefit immeasurably by this hospit-
al. Here is offered the opportunity to
obtain skilled care for any disease,
wherewith anyone may be unfortu-
nately stricken, and at cost less by
far than can be had when sending pa
tients to far distant city. Not only
is the nursing scientific which each
patient receives, but should any sud-
den emergency arise, requiring the
prompt attention of the doctor, there
will be no long hours spent in autoing
over the country roads and perhaps
that very difference in time alone may

or some other cherished member of

door.
In fact every good reason and the
dictates of every loving sentiment
furnish arguments in favor of the
newly proposed hospital. And it re-

Miss Edna Collins, Division Repre-
sentative of the Southwestern Divis-
ION has spent several days in Jules
burg the past week to realign the
personnel Of the local Red Cross
chapter.
At meeting of the interested
workers, called for a general discus
sion Of the problem as far as local
jnterest is concerned, the following
staff officers were elected:
Chairman-Mrs. Marie c. Thomp-
son.
Vice. e-Chairman-Mrs.C C. V. Parker
Secretary -Treasurer-Mrs. w. w.
Vaught.
Chairman of Nursing Committee
DR.. C. w. Rook.

Mrs. Charles Schroeder.
Directors-Mesdam E. n. Kelsey,
A. j. Waller, J. C. Wagner and E. d.

The choice of this body of officials
is a very fortunate one, since every
one selected is noted for his or her
capable and able handling of just
such difficult tasks as the stable or
ganization and efficient working OF
such a far-reaching undertaking as
the County Red Cross work involves.
Therefore, the ultimate result will,
from now on, be coordination Of
all factions involved and completed
and we'll balanced working machine
will henceforth drive ever onward.
The hearty cooperation of all citi-
zens, especially so of mothers, is re,
uuired and essential, so that united
front, all along the line may be pre-
sented to those diseases and physical
irnperfections, which cause SO much
child effectiveness and to forstall
which is the first and foremost pur-
pose of the Red Cross society
Miss Collins spoke most Instructive
ly as follows:
..It is a pleasure to me to appear
before this assembly and to give my
help npushing the Red Cross WORK
in Sedgwick county to frultlon.
"The Red Cross does not stand alone
in its activity, but rather, although
its field is unique in some respects,
it purposes to join hands with other
local societies and work out the well
fare of the entire community with
special regard for ex-service men and
their needs. Hence, the Red Cross
does not exact following OF its
leadership, rather does it stand ready
to give service and assistance in that
great work of general uplift and bet
terment of citizens, which must inter
est all because it means benefit to
all.
"But the program in which we JOIN
must be one of broad helpfulness and
the far flung line must embrace all
of Sedgwick county. This comprehen-
sive policy is truly democratic and IN
keeping with the wider vision which
everywhere characterizes the Red
Cross service.
"It becomes imperative that every
Chapter fully understand that all To-
cal funds are only held in trust by in
