s. 7. c. CLUB HOLDS IN
TERESTING MEETING
FRIDAY, OCTOBER %

The S. T. C. Club met at the Pick
ernell school house, district No. 8, on
October 28th. 1t being so near Hal
lowe'en, a social hour was held before
the business meeting was taken up.
Several were there garbed as "spooks" ="
and as the members arrived found
that the only entrance into the build
ing was up a ladder and through the
window. The building was in dark
ness, save for the weird lights of a
few jack-o-lanterns, and to make it
seem more spooky, they found a
skeleton behind curtain, also the
Hand of Fate" which was very un-
cannay to the touch. After going
through various stunts pertaining to
Halloween and having few con-
tests along with some good music and
good time by all, the business part
of the meeting was called.
The meeting was called to order by
President Sprick, reading of minutes
of previous meeting being read and
approved. Most of the committee
men being absent, there were no COM
mittee reports. A committee chair
man was appointed in each district,
they to choose their helpers to act as
an entertainment committee in their
respective districts. The president
appointed Mrs. Odell, Mrs. hammers,
Mrs. Pickernell. Mrs. Smythe and
Mrs. Farlin.
Mr.. Sprick reported that the Jules
burg Community Club had extended
an invitation to the S. T. c. Club to
meet with them in the near future
when they would have speaker for
the occasion. It was decided that we
accept this invitation.
The question for debate, Resolved
That it is more practical to farm with
horses than with tractors was decid
ed by the judges to be a tie.
The club adjourned to meet at the
Sprick school house, district No. /, on
November 11th.
A dainty lunch of sandwiches, cake
and coffee was enjoyed by all.

BEING GOOD FELL
LOW ON ROADS
DANGEROUS

Were you ever walking along road
looking for Gift" and have someone
deliberately pass you up with an emp
ty machine?
You remember how you berated
that fellow through your clenched
teeth, and vowed you'd get even some
day.
Now, the world has gone so wrong
these days we've got to take a differ
ent attitude as it is certainly risky
business for an auto driver to pick up
a stranger on the roads. 1t is getting
back to that state of affairs of ancient
times when robbers and thugs infest-
ed the highways, and made travel ov-
er them treacherous for anyone with
out ample protection.
We are glad to state that there is
less of this "hold-up" business around
Julesburg than in some other parts of
the country, but we have no means of
knowing when the holdup epidemic is
going to reach these parts. So don't
be too hasty in blaming the fellow if
he throws her in high and leaves you
to foot it behind.

SENTENCED AND FINED
PRISONERS MONDAY

Lon Porter, colored, and Ben Her
shey, white, both from Big Springs,
were arrested last Sunday afternoon
by Sheriff Thunderstorm and deputy
Ed Lowe when they were apprehended
on the main business streets of Jules
burg driving an Overland car without
license tags thereon. Upon searching
the car the officers found quantity
of booze and other evidence tending
to show that the men were violating
the prohibition law. The prisoners
were lodged in the county Jail over
night for investigation. A hearing
was held before county judge j. S.
Labaree Monday, and each drew fine
of $4,000 and costs upon the charge
of having "booze" in their possession.

stolen as had first been suspicioned,
but was the property of Ed Phelps,
the garage man at Big Springs. Mr..
Phelps came to Julesburg Monday and
drove his car back to Big Springs.

''PERFECT PACK
AGE" MONTH.
NOVEMBER, 1921

The American Railway Association,
working with the American Railway
Express Co., have made arrangements
for a nationwide campaign to stimu-
late further interest in good packing
of shipments by freight and express.
November has been designated as the
Perfect Package Month"
All shipments both freight and ex-
press offered for transportation will
be very closely inspected and any ex-
ceptions noted in failures of packages
or containers offered for shipment
will be called to the attention of the
shipper and defective packing reme-
died before acceptance of the ship
ment report to be issued to consignor
noting nature of the defects in pack
ages offered so that in future ship
ments such defects will be eliminat-
ed.
The Commercial bodies of the lar
ger cities are interesting themselves
in this campaign and are competing
for a minimum showing of least num-
Der of exceptions to packages offer
ed for shipment reports being furnish
ed daily by the committee of railroad
and express agents.
1t is the intention of this campaign
to educate shippers as much as pos
sible to the necessity of properly
marking and packing all goods offer
ed for shipment, thereby eliminating
annoyance of delays and large ex-
pense of claim pay-outs by transpor-
tation companies, and as the claim
pay-out is finally paid by the shippers
themselves in higher rates, it is to the
interest of all to boost for this per-
feet package campaign.
