COMMUNITY CLUB HOLDS
DINNER AND MEETING

The regular dinner and business
meeting Of the Julesburg Community
Club was held Monday evening at
eight o'clock at the Manhattan Cafe,
and all the chairs around the festive
table were filled. A sumptuous
"feed" was prepared by the manage
ment of the Manhattan, and the hun
cry business men did justice to the
occasion.
President Ralph Rozell presided at
the post-dinner discussion, which
proved to be one of the most interest
ing vet held by the club. Secretary
P. r. Mcdowell read number Of in
teresting communications, one of
which created quite little comment
and if you were listed among those
absent at last Monday evenings gath
ering, you missed out on it because
we are not going to discuss the same
through these columns.
The road question was again
brought up and thoroughly discussed,
Mr.. Earl C. Hamilton, member Of
the road committee making an inter-
esting report and every indication is
to the effect that every Legitimate
effort is being put forth in road mat
tiers for the securing and maintenance
of good roads. The road committee
was instructed to keep things going
at lively rate, it being thoroughly
realized the many benefits to be de-
rived by the establishment of good
roads. It was reported that Mr.. j..
C. Penney, prominent resident Of the
south table. had posted information

DEPOT QUESTION ATTRACTS
ATTENTION BUSINESS MEN

We are pleased to note that ut The
regular dinner and business. meetinS
of the Julesburg Community Club on
Monday evening the matter of new
depot in Julesburg came in for con-
siderable discussion by the business
men and citizens present. A plan
was outlined whereby petition IS to
be circulated in this community, and
we sincerely hope that this matter
will be pushed along in consistent
manner.
1t has come to a point where the
citizens of Julesburg and community
should not have to put up with the
present structure which is used for a
depot at this point, and has been for
wears and years and years. At varl-
GUS intervals the Union Pacific
sends a crew of men along and they
proceed to dob" on some paint, and
then the company calls it quits for
some time to come. There is no legi-
innate argument in favor of the pres
ent old shack being adequate for the
needs of the public, and we see no
reason why the Union Pacific cannot
be prevailed upon to build new de-
pot that will be credit to this i'm
portant railroad point.
Don't let us be misguided by rum
ors that may be afloat to the effect
that Julesburg is on the list for q
new depot, but that we will have to
wait for year or so. That's what we
have been doing, and it is our candid
opinion that we will be waiting for
several more years, unless we get
busy and bring enough pressure to
bear that a new depot will be the on
ly way out Of the situation for the
railroad company. Let's go for =
new depot.

Gods kind of love is rapidly gain
ing ground in the world. In many
kinds Of social service, and especially
in the efforts for criminal reform, can
be seen the workings of that spirit
Of love for the enemies of mankind
that filled the heart of Jesus and
brought Him to the cross. At least
that was the beginning of modern
reform. 1t is to be regretted that
this spirit of love has to large mea-
sure been lost sight of in the more
materialistic and practical" view
that it pays better to reform than
merely to punish. Perhaps this year
ming to save the offender against
society is no better exemplified than
in the juvenile court system of deal
ing with hayward boys and girls.
We feel instinctively that it is not
punishment alone that is due the child
who has transgressed the law, but
that an earnest effort should be made
to lead that child to useful and an
honorable life 1t is that same in
stinctive feeling that makes US all
approve of the honor system in the
prisons and all other efforts at re-
form The cross carries a practical
message that is daily making its i'm
preston on the life of the world.
And then there is that noble band
OF missionaries carrying the Savior
to the needy ones in the remotest
corners of the earth. Among their
number has been many a soul that
has gone to its Calvary upon the cross
Of duty. For the work of the mis-
slonary is never finished. His duty
lies in lifting the rt-burdens and
succoring the needy, and healing the
SICK, and feeding the starving. What
a wonderful opportunity for service
the missionary has, and what an ap-
palling need for more devoted men
and women to answer that call to
service. No wonder, then, that the
missionary ANNALS of the Christian
church are filled with untold deeds
OF noble sacrifice and of enduring
devotion to the cause of Christ in the
midst of endless discouragements and,
very often, endless persecution. It
lives such as these that have brought

A joint ....nIttee from the Jules
burg Concert Band and the Julesburg
Community Club circulated sub
scription paper Wednesday for the
support of a leader for the band. This
paper was pretty generally signed by
business men and citizens, and the re-
suit is that means have now been
provided whereby a competent band
leader can be secured and be paid a
substantial salary for his work.

Concert Band, which has only recent
~ been reorganized, should make rap

THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS

1I1C 0MEooANC Vt 1EL SNooo
The International Sunday School
lesson for March goth, is Matthew
27:33:5O.
"God commendeth his own love to-
ward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for U.S." In these
tremendous words of the Golden Text
we catch the message of the cross.
On that hill of Calvary hanging on
the rough-hewn cross. with the cruel
nails piercing His hands and feet,
Christ offered up His life in sacrifice,
the supreme expression of Gods love
for US. Jesus proved that God is a
God of love.
In this weeks lesson we come to
the close of Jesus short but eventful
career on earth. After three years
of teaching and administering to the
sick and needy, the three most i'm
portant years in all history, Jesus ap-
preached the final event Of His life
with fortitude and a courage and
a single gentleness of spirit that must
have won the admiration even of His
enemies. And we know that the cross
has done more than all else combined
to win the world for Him. There is
something marvelously appealing a.
bout that lonely figure on the cross,
hanging there so willingly to save
the world from the consequences of
its sin, with those words upon His
lips that only one divine could utter,
Forgive them, Father, for they know
not what they do"
1t is this divine attribute of for
giveness, this love for His enemies,
that makes Jesus self-sacrificing love
such wonderful kind of love. The
world has seen countless examples
of splendid heroism, of the laying
down Of life itself to save a friend
or help to win cause. The pages
of history are full of remarkable
deeds of daring, of great acts of de-
votion, of self-forgetting sacrifice
All these were the result of the kind
of love Jesus spoke about when He
said "Greater love hath no man than
this. that he lay down his life for
his friend" But Jesus died not alone
for His friends, but for His enemies.
that they too might be saved. Jesus
love was love for sinners, love so
intense, love that was so much
part of all His being, that He was
willing to give the last full measure
of devotion, to endure the cross and
despise its shame, that the burden

BIG NAVY BUDGET
| MEETS OPPOSITION

WASHINGTON, May 13-The half
billion dollar naval appropriation bill
was taken up today in the senate only
to encounter immediate opposition
from the advocates of disarmament.
Reading of the senate naval affairs
committees amendment had scarcely
more than been started when the first
rumblings of the imminent disarm-
ament fight were heard. The first
amendments slightly increasing the
appropriations of the bill as passed
by the house were accepted without
discussion, but when the amendment
was reached to increase the sum
available for recruiting by million
dollars, Senator Borah, Republican,
Idaho, leader of the disarmament
forces, asked that it be passed over
until the senate takes UP the question
of naval personnel.
This request by Senator Borah was
repeated time after time, with the
result that when the days considera-
ton ended practically all Of the ma
jority committee increases in the first
half of the bill had been passed over.
These included the appropriations for
the Key West, Fla, submarine base;
San Diego, Cal, naval hospital
project; Guam submarine and de-
stroyer base; Sand Point, Wash, air
station; San Pedro, Cal, submarine
base, and the Alameda, Cal, supply
