MORE BUILDINGS A VITAL NEED

While the ordinary town can not
20 very far in the way of building
business blocks, yet lively trade CEN
ter like Julesburg ought to be putting
up some permanent fire-proof con-
struction of brick. cement or stone.
A man contemplates putting up a
business building of wood, or repair
ing an old structure, ought TO think
carefully whether it would not pay
him to put more money into 1t, and
get a more substantial and enduring
edifice.
A certain number Of buildings of
this type can be profitable invest
ments in Julesburg. The merchants
will pay higher rents for stores in
a handsome building of modern ap-
pearance. The upper floors can be
arranged as apartments, and will
bring excellent rentals from people
who wish to live close to the town
center, and who want to avoid the
responsibility of caring for a COM
plete house and grounds. The second
floor in business building can usu-
ally be rented for offices. Profess
sional people and small business en-
terprises will pay well for rooms that
have the modern touch.
When a town gets substantial and
handsome buildings, it becomes far
more attractive as trading center.
Stocks of merchandise show up much
better. The place looks like one, and
people begin to come from greater
distances.

THE COST OF DELIVERY

. One element of the cost of living, is
the expense of delivering parcels. The
National Retail Dry Goods Associa-
ton recently conducted an investiga-
ton to find out how much this ex-
pense is. They figure that the cost
is anywhere from TO 80 cents per
package, and the average expense
seems to be about II cents.
Many people have carefully got into
the habit Of having goods delivered
that they could just as well carry
themselves. Many thousands of men
and as many automobiles and teams
are employed delivering this stuff.
And the people who carry their par
cells have to pay for those who indo-
lently have their small stuff delivered.
Cash and carry is great motto for
reducing cost of living.

MEXICANS ARE
HELD ON CHARGE
OF ROBBERY

Sheriff Thunderstorm and deputy
H. c. kinsman accompanied by X. G..
McNally motored to Sterling Friday
in Mr.. McNally's Cole Eight. While
in Sterling the officers took two Mex
leans in custody and brought them to
Julesburg, where they were lodged in
the county Jail. The Mexicans are
charged with having been connected
with robbery perpetrated in Julesburg
and Weir few weeks ago when a
number of Mexican laborers were the
victims. Since the robbery was COM
mitted the officers have been on the
lookout for the fugitives, who made
their escape at the time in a Ford
automobile, and last week, with the
aid of the Logan county officers, they
were located at Sterling.

Representative and experts from
the Stearns- Rogers Co., of Denver,
have been in Julesburg this week, be-
ing engaged in Overhauling the white

lights in permanent working order.
1t is hoped that this last effort, which
/ is one of many attempts, will put the
white way" in good working shape,
and that when their work this time is
completed, Julesburg may be assured
Of having street lights that will not
be continually on the "blink." thus
causing our main streets to be in
darkness.
A big burly hobo decided that he
would take charge of the Union Pa
cific depot here last Thursday night,
and made threats to night operator
Larson when the latter instructed him
to make himself scarce. Said hobo
did not show any inclination to leave,
so Marshall Twomey was called.
When the marshal arrived the knight
of the road still maintained stub
born attitude, and it was necessary
for the officer to use force TO eject
him. The last seen of the hobo he
was walking down the track toward
Big Springs with fair warning not
to show up here again. and the
chances are that he will henceforth
give Julesburg wide berth.

A color which is very popular just
now is gray. Years ago gray was

Many of the new Ord ped and tas-
seled turbans are shown in this color,
silk and soft duvetyns being the mate
rials employed in the fashioning of
these new shapes.
Gray furs such as squirrel and'lamb
are popular, too, and worn with a
bright blue suit, a neckpiece and a
jaunty chapeau in one of these soft
tints make a most pleasing combina-
ton. But blue is not the only color
which combines artistically with gray ;
