PUREBRED LIVESTOCK
SHOWS LARGE GAIN
IN CENSUS REPORT

Returns from the agricultural cen
sus of 1920 indicate that the pure
bred live stock industry is of greater
extent than many people had sup
posed according to officials in the
bureau of animal industry, United
States department OF agriculture, who
assisted statistical experts of the
bureau of census in the preparation
of the original schedules and are
aiding in the compilation of the re,
suits. The figures for the 10 states
which have been available are said
by the specialists to be of the ut
most value in the systematic and
economical improvement of domestic
animals in the United States, since
they show breeding centers for pure.

the strides which the purebred live
stock industry is making. The fig-
ures which are available show the
number of farms which have pure
bred horses, cattle, swine and sheep:
the numbers Of the leading breeds
Of each, and in the case of cattle and
horses, the relative number OF pure
bred males to females.
Formerly the only information of
comprehensive scope on the extent
of the purebred livestock industry
has been very unsatisfactory esti-
mates. No other country, depart
ment officials point out, has depend
able figures on the number of pure
bred livestock such as the 1920 CEN
sus has provided for the benefit of
stock raising and agriculture in the
United States. Purebreds, as con-
sidered by the census schedules, in
clude animals either registered or
eligible to registry.

CHAPTER kun.
The End Of the Storm.

Or all the things that seem strange
In that great battle. now that look
back upon 1t, there was nothing that
was queerer than the way In which it
acted on my comrades. For some took
1t as though 1t had been their daily
meat, without question or change, and
others battered out prayers from the
nrSt gun-fire to the last, and others
again cursed and swore in way that
was creepy to listen to. There was
one, my own left-hand mate, Mike
Threadingham, who kept telling about
his maiden aunt, Sarah. and how she
had left the money which had been
promised to him to home for the chill
dren of drowned sailors. Again and
again he told me this story, and yet.
when the battle was over, he took his
oath that he had never opened his
lips all day. AS to me, | cannot say
whether | spoke or not, but | know
that my mind and my memory were

suddenly all their batteries opened to-

loud. for every battery was twice as

ARMY OF OFFICE
SEEKERS NOW
AFTER POSITIONS

The president elect and Republican
senators are being attacked by a large
army of office seekers and they would
be better satisfied if there were not
SO many patriots anxious to serve
their Uncle Samuel.
The country will not stand for a
general beheading of officials after
the old manner of the spoils system.
People want the best service, and they
care mighty little whether public ser
wants are Republican or Democrats.
When the Democratic administra-
ton came in, a multitude of faithful
office holders were dismissed merely
because they were Republican. and
deserving Democrats" were put in.
A lot of these men have not shown
any special efficiency, and the public
would lose nothing by their removal
Those that have given high quality
of service might well be allowed to
remain. The Harding administration
would thereby gain prestige.
The Democratic administration has
been distrustful of successful bust
ness men. 1t seemed to feel that they
were so tainted with "capitalistic"
point of view that they would not 10y
ally serve the public. 1t appointed
many theorists, whose motives may
have been pure, but who knew little
about business. A great many peo-
pie of this type ought to go. The
administration was seriously at fault
in retaining far greater number
of office holders than was necessary
before the war. A great body of these
people ought to be dismissed and their
places should not be filled. The work
should be so systematized that fewer
people under good management
should do more work.
The administration should not be
hurried by pressure of candidates, to
make lot of nominations that are
i'll considered. Every case should have
careful attention from someone who
will look at it from the view point
of good business.

WORK OF RED
CROSS NURSE Is
>, PROGRESSING

The work of Miss MCGOWAN. Red
Cross nurse is rapidly reaching bene-
ficial results in this County, as can
be seen from the records and reports
which are made to headquarters in
Denver.
In several instances the doctors
have been assisted during their pro-
fessional calls; the nature of the work
has been partly explained to various
organizations of ladies and their CO.
operation has been assured, which
means mutual aid and help in reliev-
ing distress and need. Hereby true
Christian charity is being done in
such a way that those who need help
are receiving it quickly while those
charitable people who want to do
good, but are deprived of the oppor-
tunity because of business, are given
the chance to exercise this commend
able virtue. By this time the work
among the school children is systema-
tized, their little defects are analized
and corrective exercises are being
taught, so that this community is
receiving the full and same care
which the big city schools are re-
ceiving, the benefits of which are
being freely acknowledged by all who
had occasion to live among the more
centralized centers of population,
while at the same time we may see
in this work new indication of the
progress which this county is making.
1t is gratifying to know that the re-
port concerning the general condition
of cleanliness of our children is we'll
above the average of the schools in
the country at large, which justifies
the pride which parents in this neigh
borhood have always had in their
children.
All in all this movement is a most
commendable one and a step in the
direction towards progress and up-to-
dateness.

HOLD MEETING

A meeting of the officers and
board of directors of The Julesbprg

evening, February 18th at the office
of the Home Land Co. in this city.
All members of the board were pres
ent at this meeting.
The minutes of the last meeting
were read by Secretary c. V. John
son, and were approved as read. A
lengthy discussion was had relative
to the matter of securing another
geologist to make survey Of the
territory which embraces the leases
of the company, this survey to be in
addition to the one previously made
by Geologist j. w. Smiley. 1t was the
unanimous opinion of the board that
this be the next move, and the secre-
tary was instructed to Immediately
get into communication with several
recognized geologists, and make a
report to the board at the earliest
possible date relative to his findings.

plans to use every legitimate effort
to hasten the preliminary work in
the matter of securing very thor
ough geological survey of the struc-
lures in this territory, with a view of
devising concrete plans for the drill
ing of test well.
1t is thoroughly realized by large
number of the citizens of this commu-
nifty the great benefits that would be
derived in the event that oil was dis
covered in this territory, and the
proposition of further development is
going to receive very substantial sup.
port. The officers and directors of
The Julesburg Oil & Royalties Co.
are all prominent local men, and they
may be counted upon to conduct the
affairs of the company along strictly
legitimate lines, safeguarding the in
terests of all those who are interest
ed in the COMPANY.

COMMUNITY CLUB
Is BIG ASSET TO
THE COMMUNITY

There are two kinds of towns in
this country that are drifting, and
getting no place; that are really en-
titled to sympathy. One is the town
that could support live Commercial
Club but won't. and the other is the
town that has Commercial Club but
won't help it to live.
Residents of ,Julesburg know
enough about the inside workings of
a live snappy, progressive organiza-
ton of business and professional men
in other towns to know what could be
accomplished here. They don't have
to be told that for natural resources.
for place in which to live and rear
family, no other community on the
face of the earth offers better advan-
tages than this. Yet the average
citizen is apt to contest himself with
leaving it to the other fellow to place
these facts before the outside world.
The newspaper does its share, and it
speaks a good word for the people,
and community every week But it
must be backed up by the hearty CO.
operation of all citizens to make its
boost for the town successful.
Any man knows two horses can pull
more than one. Then why shouldn't
twenty men accomplish more, when
pulling in the same direction, than a
half-dozen. And why should the ma
jority be content to let the town
stand still because few are willing
to let it drag along? The argument
Is all in favor of the live Commercial
Club, or Chamber of Commerce, or
whatever you may choose to call such
an organization. But if it isn't a
live one, and one in which every citi-
zen takes an individual interest and
lends helping hand. than it is even
worse than none and still leaves the
town in helpless position so far a.
progress is concerned.
