NO MERCY FOR
THE QUITE R

Advertising, Mr.. Merchant,
is just like making love to
your girl. The time is always
right NOW-before the other
fellow beats you to it. And
you can't afford to quit even
for little while, because in
that little while somebody
with more enterprise and
never will come along and get
your girl away from you-or
your trade. Advertising and
love-making are two games in
which there is no mercy for
the quitter.-Howard (Kans.)

GALA DAY FOR FAST
FADING GRAY RANKS
Fifty-two Old Soldiers Spend
Happy Day in Dresden.
Sumptuous Dinner

The surviving remnant of the
boys who followed Lee and Johnson
and Forrest that assembled in Ores
den last Saturday in reunion went
away feeling that all of life's beau
ties and pleasures were not behind
them, for on this day the daughters
of the Confederacy and the Sons of
the Confederacy, with the splendid
cooperation of Dresden citizens,
the most hospitable people on earth,
made this fast fading gray band
feel that there is still enshrined in
the hearts of all true patriots
warm place for the old soldiers
The number that gathered here
for the day was $40 Confeder-
crate soldiers and two Union SOL
diers-all together, all cheering
Dixie, all brothers now united un-
der the grandest, the most glorious
flag under the wide canopy of
heaven. "Where did they all come
FROM" was asked time and again
throughout the day. They came from
the hills and the valley, from high
ways and the byways-from all
over Weakley county and some
from other counties and nearby
states.
The day will never, never be for
gotten by them, nor by those who
enjoyed the splendid program.
The dinner served by the daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy under the
direction of Mrs. c. M. Ewing was
both appetizing and plentiful. 1t
was a grand, glorious treat and
hugely enjoyed by those whose good
fortune it was 70 partake OF the
splendidly prepared food.
Mr.. Jas. H. Moran, himself the
son of an ex-Confederate soldier,
was master of ceremonies, and
asked DR.. D. c. johnson to open
the program with prayer. Mr..

Mr.. C. S. Summers, near Sharon,
had two measured acres planted to
cotton this year. He sold the seed
cotton to C. L. Bray, buyer for the
American Cotton Oil Co., and it
weighed out exactly S,465 pounds,
for which Mr.. Summers received
$254.67, or $124.25 per acre for
his cotton. We do not know any

O'dell, q resident of the south table,
caught fire Tuesday in front Of tie

caught fire. she being burned abost
the arms before the flames were
smothered by Mr.. O'dell. The fire

GREEN STOCKINGS"

The comedy Screen Stockings
presented at the Lyric Theatre last
Monday evening by the Juiesburg
Dramatic Club was a knockout sue
cess. Though the audience was not
as large as the house was capable of
seating a good size crowd was pres
ent and pronounced it the most clev-
err production ever put on by the club
and one of the best ever shown here.
The cast was well chosen for the re-
spective parts and carried off hon.
ors in his or her own way. In this
company Julesburg has some remark
able amateur talent, of which it may
feel justly proud, for there are evi-
dences that continued development
will bring perfection in no mean de-
gree.
The music was furnished by the
orchestra of the Sedgwick County
high school and we can state right
here that considering the length Of
time these young people have been
receiving instruction they perform
well. The amount of
music rendered was not in the least
being given a full three
quarters of an hour before the play
and between the acts of which there
were three. On the whole it was a
enjoyable evening of en-
tertainment of the sort we hope will
come again soon.-Chappell Register.

What's the matter with petitioning
the Union Pacific railway company
for new depot for Julesburg? Don't
you think that it is about time that
the old structure was replaced by .
new one-one that will be credit to
our city. Centrally located as Jules
burg is on the railroad map, and con-
sidering the volume of business done
here, both in passenger and freight,
we think there is no legitimate reason
why the railroad company could not
be prevailed upon to build new depot
at this point.
Julesburg wishes to cooperate with
the Union Pacific in every practical
way, and all that we ask is that the
railroad company meet us half way.
1t isn't out of place in the least that
this community ask the Union Paci-
fic to build a new depot that will be
in keeping with this progressive and
substantial community.
Did you ever stop and consider that
the first thing a visitor to our city
notes when arriving here, is the de-
pot, and the result is that bad i'm
preston is gained. It is true that the
city of Julesburg is not responsible
in measure, for the appearance Of
our present depot-because it is rail
road property, but nevertheless, the
stranger and prospective newcomer
holds it as a detriment to the town.
That is a fact that we cannot deny.
In addition to this, it is essential that
our depot facilities be materially i'm
proved for the convenience and well
fare of our citizens and the travelling
nuhlic.

RECOGNIZING WOMEN

Some of the women prominent IN

were included in the "best minds"
with whom President Harding con-
suited in shaping his initial policies.
There will be many demands Tor tne
appointment of more women 10 pup

governments. :,
How far should women be selected
for the higher places in government
and nolitical management! Many,
women of a confident, energetic, ana
intelligent type, feel just as well aole
tn exercise political leadership as any
man. They have the same ambition
to advance in this field that men
have, which is perfectly legitimate
The men will be disposed to feel,
however, that women are new IN tnis
form of activity. Politics is game
that calls not merely for c!everness'
Int for long experience. Many wo-
men who were most active IN their
camna;on for suffrage, had never
taken any great interest in political
nroblems. It will take little time
for them to familiarize themselves
with the many questions that are
novel to them. -,

BEET GROWERS
WILL REDUCE
BEET ACREAGE

The Great Western Sugar Com
pany is counting disfavor with the
sugar beet growers of Sedgwick
county, and a large number Of the
growers declare they will reduce their
beet acreage to a minimum on account
of the very unsatisfactory beet con-
tract price which has been submitted
by the sugar company to the growers
for the year 1921. A number OF
growers are making their plans to
eliminate the growing of beets en-
tirely and devote their efforts to the
brewing of other crops. Indications
are that the beet acreage in this
county for the year 1921 will be re-
duced at least forty per cent, and per-
haps more.
A mass meeting Of the beet growers
growers of Sedgwick county was held
at Ovid Wednesday evening, at which
time the matter was discussed at
length, and as a result the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
"Be it resolved by the Beet Grow
ers of Sedgwick county at convention
assembled in Ovid, Colorado:
"That we protest against the price
of sugar beets offered by the Great
Western Sugar Company;
"That as evidence of our dissatis-
faction with such price, we will reduce
our beet acreage to the lowest mini
mum possible;
"That we will use every effort to
induce every grower to so reduce his
acreage to the lowest minimum;
"That we urge the Mountain States
Beet Growers Association to initiate
a campaign to so strengthen the or
ganization that the association can
enforce its just demands, by re-
fusal to grow beets in the entire ter
ritory for the next crop year, II the
sugar company shall again offer such
an unsatisfactory price;
"That we are sensible of the effec-
tive work of the Association, fully
realizing the adverse conditions which
it has labored.

SOLDIER BONUS GOES OVER

various reasons-most of which are
pure "stand- offs, have been given
by members Of Congress. 1t is evid-
dent that it is not the intention OF
Congress to put through this legis-

Fruits and Vegetable Prices Falling.

Washngton.-The mild winter has
been to great extent responsible for
low returns to producers of fruits and
vegetables because of rot and the &C
cumulated cost of storage and extra
handling, the bureau of markets said
in Il report here. Prices started low
and continued moving downward until
"diSagreeabIy close to the vanishing
point" the report added. Late winter
finds the six months depression ut its
lowest. it is said, and wholesale prices
have found new low levels. Dealers
hold perhaps One-SiXth of the potato
stocks remaining and the farmers have
the rest, the report continued, and at
present the potato markets in producing
sections are close to decentralization.
The situation generally Is the same, the
report added, in the case of cabbage,
onions and apples.
