AMERICAN LEGION
SMOKER WAS A
BIG SUCCESS

Last Monday evening, Jan. 3lst,
was a gala event for the ex-service
men of this community. The local
most of the American Legion staged q
smoker at loves hall, which was q
big success in every sense of the
word.
Boxing. and wrestling matches
were the chief entertainment OF the
evening, and from the time the first
gong rang, calling the first match,
the ring was a scene OF intense IN
terest. There were about thirty
boxers and wrestlers who took part
in the sports of the evening.

Rev. H. A. Geisert gave very inter-
esting talk to the ex-service men.

successful. The American Legion
is one of the organizations that
every ex-soldier should belong to. 1t

looking out for their interests and is
doing some wonderful things through
out the country.
After the athletics were over the
buple sounded "chow" and the curtain
on the stage was raised, displaying
long rows of tables covered with good
things to eat. And right here we
want to say that the Legion is very
thankful to the ladies who helped

regularly in the near future. so join
the Legion now and help take part in
them.

Once more Sedgwick County has
gone lover the top. In the Relief
Drive which was held throughout the
county last week more than twelve
hundred dollars was raised for the
starving children in Armenia, Central
Europe and China. This meant hear
ty cooperation and generous giving
on the part of the people of Sedgwick
County and it will mean life and hap
piness to many little children in far
away lands. In rescuing these little
ones from cruel death Sedgwick
County has done a splendid thing for
humanity, thing in which all may
justly take pride and pleasure.
Much credit for the success of the
drive is due to the enthusiastic team
workers who gave of their time and
effort in making house to house
canvass SO that all in the county
might have share in this task of
mercy. In Julesburg the canvass was
made on Friday, the 2Sth, beginning
about ten O'Clock. At 1890 O'Clock
more than thirty team workers came
together in the basement of the Meth
odlst church to partake of delicious
lunch prepared by the women of the

GOOD FELLOWSHIP" IS =
KEY TO THE AVERAGE
SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS

Speaking of travelling salesman,
a business man remarked the other
day that some of them didn't seem
to be making any effort to sell their
goods. They would roll into town,
smiling all over, shaking hands with
everybody. You would think they
were capitalists going back to visit
the homes of their boyhood. But
in spite of apparent lack of effort,
they would always get out of town
with good fat sheaf of orders.
Il asked one Of those fellows the
other day how he did it, said the
merchant who was speaking, Thought
it would help me in my business"

the reply I got. II started out in this
game ten years ago with the idea of

number Of others present.

1t seemed to be the unanimous
opinion Of all present at the meeting
that something must be done in the
near future to provide more room for
the increased enrolment of our pub
lie school, either by the building Of
an addition to the present grade
school building, or by the erection of
another building. This phase of the
proposition was discussed at length
as to which would be the most prac-
tical at this time, and there were log
ical arguments advanced for and
against both the building of an ad-
dition and a new building.
A meeting of the school board and
members of the committee represent
ing various organizations in this COM
munity will hold a meeting this
Thursday evening to further dis
cuss plans Of presenting the propo-
sition of providing more facilities for
the public school to the taxpayers
of Julesburg. While it is agreed
that money conditions are most strin-
gent at this time, it is also pointed
out very clearly that an emergency
exists for the welfare of the public
school. and that some immediate ac-
ton must be taken to remedy the con-
gested condition at the public school
building. This is matter that
should receive the serious consider
alton of all the citizens of Julesburg.

CIVIC IMPROVEMENTS
ARE A Big ASSET TO
TOWN AND COMMUNITY

Vacant land in the outskirts is TAX
en- for parks. If taxes cant be af-
forded to improve it, community work
days are held and the people take
hold and make it scene of beauty.
Unused corners at street intersections
are made into little nests Of greenery.
When buildings are put up, good
standards of taste are consulted.
If town will carry out such po-
Icy for period of years, it will ac-
ouire a charm far more attractive
than costly edifices. 1t would gain
a reputation as home of progress
sive and refined people, who have
travelled enough TO know what fine
modern town looks like. Almost any,
one would pay premium to live in a
place like that.

Weather conditions during the past
week have prevented much progress
being made locally by The Julesburg
Oil & Royalties Co., with the excep-
ton that number of new leases have
been secured. The officers and di-
rectors of the company feel that they
are now in a splendid condition to
make negotiations with an outside
corporation, as sufficient acreage
has been obtained to interest any
drilling company, no matter how large.
We are reliably informed that
word has been received here to the
effect that Geologist Smiley, in COM
pany with party of representatives
of drilling company, are now on
tour of inspection of the various oil
structures in the vicinity of Wray,
and south of there. and that they will
probably be in Julesburg as soon as
weather conditions will permit their

Economy is good thing in mu-
nicipal affairs. but you can carry it
too far. Many public officials say
that beauty is luxury and it can't
be afforded. Yet people who go on
that theory in handling their own
places are not apt to see their real
estate advance in value much. 1t is
the same in developing a town like
Julesburg.
1t has become a settled policy in
many advancing towns, to try to per-
suade every householder to plant
shrubs and trees and give each home
a restful setting of foliage. Trees
are planted when streets are laid out
so that when houses are built the
reighborhood seems homelike.
