at Orwigsburg, Pa, the other day at
tackled little four-year-old girl, infiict-
ing wounds, scars of which will be car
ried for life. The rooster knocked
her down and thrust its spurs into her
forehead at the upper part of her nose,
just between the eyes. Her screams
brought help just in time to save the
child's eyes.

stand was much annoyed by possible

handling the fruit and pinching it,
thereby leaving il softened and often
spoiled. Exasperated beyond en-

which read: IF you must pincha

CHIEF VALUE OF SANDY SOIL
Roots Of Plants Are Permitted TO Pass
Through Readily, but II Dries
Out Quickly.

The chief virtue of sandy soil is that
the roots of plants can pass through
1t readily; Its chief fault is that 1t
dries out too quickly. Clay soil holds
water well, but 1t tends to pack and
harden. Both types of soil need stable
manure-it loosens up clay and helps
sand to hold moisture.

RELIEF STATION
Is BEING ESTAB-
LISHED HERE

Realizing how much good was done
last winter through the effort to col
lect good warm clothing from those
who had no further need for it and to
distribute this among the less fortu-
nate, it has been decided to continue
this work this season, but on a some
what larger scale.
To this end Community Relief
Station" is being established this
week in the basement of the Galusha
T. Son clothing store. This station
will be open each Saturday afternoon
for the reception and distribution of
garments, bedding, etc. and clothing
of all kinds and sizes will be gladly
received. If unable to send in your
donation, if you will call Mrs. C. W.
Rook, Sr., Julesburg 12S, the commit
tee will arrange to call for it.
AS this is community effort, it
is hoped that all will participate. A
committee will be in charge of the
station, all garments will be sorted,
properly cared for and distributed
where they will fill the greatest need.
Those desiring supplies may call on
Saturday afternoon, or if impossible
to come at that time, if you will phone
134J some member of the committee
will open the station for you.

WHAT LOYALTY TO THE
COMMUNITY MEANS: A
QUESTION TO CONSIDER

loyalty to assist the greedy person
whose every effort is expended in
sapping or devouring your commun-
ity.
Isn't it a requisite of loyalty to
support the men and institutions who
support Julesburg and community
providing of course, their business is
honorable and their lives law-abid-
ing.
The citizen who sits back and rakes
in the coin, and gives or does nothing
towards building up Julesburg and
the community from which he
rakes it, is not good citizen and real
loyalty on the part of the public
would demand that he be given good
rest cure, until he wakes up and be-
comes a boster, or else move out and
make room for live man who real
ICES he owes something to the COM
munity in which he lives and makes a
livlihood.
By all means trade at home wher-
ever It is at all possible. But when
you do trade at home patronize the
"live" merchant, one who is doing
things for Julesburg and not confin-
ing his efforts solely and selfishly to
his own interests. Advertise and
have your printing done at home, as
the home paper is always boosting
for your community. Give your sup
port to those who labor with and con-
tribute to all forces for the CONNER
cial progress and moral betterment
of the community.
Let one refuse to join or bow to an
organization of thugs, and all forces
ter that person. Then why should 10y
ter tht person. Then why should 10y
al citizens patronize persons or firms
who do nothing for the community.
Julesburg and community is just what
it's citizens make it, and cooperation
is entirely essential upon the part of
those who live here, if we are to make
the proper progressive strides.
The community leeches; how about
them?

SUGAR co.
WILL. PAY
$l.OO MORE
Beet Growers Will Re-
ceive An Additional
$l.W Per Ton For
1922 Beet Crop Under
Sliding Scale Contract

Payment of an additional $l.0O per
ton for all beets delivered under the
1922 sliding scale contract was an
nounced last Friday, December 9Th,
by the Great Western Sugar COM
pany. The checks, amounting to ap-
proximately $2,0OO,0OO, will be mailed
out December 22 from the offices of
the company's sixteen factories.
The total paid for beets will then
amount to $500 per ton, in Colorado
and Nebraska districts. Declaring
that this is not intended as a final
settlement, the company stated it
"is hopeful, from present indications,
that future market conditions may
make possible other additional pay
ments in accordance with the con-
tract"
1t is believed that the Great West
ern is the first sugar company in the
United States to announce to beet
farmers the payments of an addition
al sum for the 1922 sugar beet crop
under the sliding scale contract gen.
orally in vogue during the past grow
ing season.
THE company is gratified that
market conditions have been so fav-
orable as to make payment possible
at this time" declared the official
announcement. 1t follows in full:
SIN accordance with that part of
the 1929 sliding scale beet contract
which provides that further payments
will be made from time to time as
market conditions warrant; the COM
pany will, on December %, 1922, make
an additional payment of $1.OO per
ton for all beets delivered under that
contract.
"ln the judgment of the company
this payment is justified by the re-
turns from the sugar thus far sold.
This is not intended as final set
tiement for the 1922 beet crop as the
company is hopeful, from present in
dications, that future market con-
dtions may make possible other addi-
iional payments in accordance with
the contract.
THE company is gratified that
market conditions have been so fav-
orable as to make a payment possible
at this time"

BE VACCINATED

On account of the spread of hemor-

Colorado State Board of Health
strongly urges that everyone in the
community be vaccinated.
We also ask that every school
child be vacinnated before the holi-
days. Every pupil returning to school
after the holidays must have certi-
ficate signed by doctor showing sue
cessful vaccination, and if they do not
have this, they must be sent home un-
til the certificate is obtained.
We have made arrangements so
that the points will not cost more than
sc or &c each and the doctors are
making rates so there will be no ex-
cuse on account of cost.

SALE OF XMAS
SEALS WILL AS
SIST GREAT WORK

A direct approach toward the solu-
ton of the tuberculosis problems in
Colorado can be found in the sale of
sufficient Christmas seals to finance
the Colorado tuberculosis Associ-
alton and it's twelve county branches
throughout the coming year. Thru
the sale of these little seals alone is
the Association enabled to carry on
its work. If every boy and girl in
Colorado would resolve to forego the
pleasure Of one movie a week from
now until Christmas and invest this
amount in the purchase of Christmas
seals, the dream of the Colorado Tu-
berculosis Association for the coming
year could come true. And what is
this. dream? A State Tuberculosis
Sanatorium for the care of the thous-
ands of tuberculosis patients scatter
ed here and there throughout the
state. Certainly the necessity for
such an institution cannot be disputed
when the fact is taken into consider
alton that Colorado has the second
highest death rate from tuberculosis
of any state in the Union and that
there is no state institution for its
prevention and care. The lodging of
these thousands of tuberculosis pa
tients in private homes, often when
there is no comprehension of the dan
gers of infection. is a menace to the
welfare of the state, and just so long
as this condition exists just so long
shall we fight losing fight with this
disease.
Statistics show that in Colorado
one out of every three children is
malnourished. An under-nourished
child is particularly susceptible to in
fection. Think of the danger to lit
tie children in these homes where the
tuberculous patient is installed; it is
almost impossible for them to escape
infection. Colorado does not enforce
the anti-spitting ordinance and the
law of registration is largely ignored.
If Colorado citizens were familiar
with the manner in which tuberculosis
is communicated, the work of The
Colorado tuberculosis Association
would be much simplified. The fight
is not alone that of the Association
or the physician, but is a personal
matter and involves the best effort of
every community. There is need of
tuberculosis surveys in every county;
living conditions must be investigated
and communities taught the simple
rules of health.
The building of sanatorium was
indorsed by the Federated Women's
Clubs of Colorado at the annual state
convention, and the support of the
clubs pledged in the sale of christmas
seals to finance the promotion of such
sanatorium.

Association last year throughout the
state by School Boards, County Com

been idle we give below some of the
items of interest CLEANED from her
monthly reports:
Miss Redmond has visited twenty

spected $40 school children as to con-
ditions of eyes, ears, nose, throat,

age, has consulted with two prospec-
tive mothers and is sending them
monthly letters to help them through
the critical time, has made forty-sev-
en- home visits, has attended one par
ent teachers association and has trav-
eled approximately $50 miles in
Sedgwick county. Her portable scales

mothers as possible and for this rea-

What does loyalty to the home
town mean? Did you ever ask that
question of yourself and then be fair
with yourself in the answer, after
careful thought? We want the citi-
zens of Julesburg and community to
think this matter over.
A merchant might say that loyalty
to Julesburg is trading at home
cutting out the mail order houses. A
doctor might say that real loyalty to
Julesburg is calling local physician;
a lawyer perhaps will say, patroniz-
ing the home lawyers; the publisher
might say it was having your job
printing at home and advertising
through the Grit-Advocate instead of
through other channels, which he is
thoroughly convinced is not as ef-
fective; the dentist might say to have
your dental work done at home; the
bootlegger might think that home 10y
atty was buying his wares instead Of
importing your supply.
All of the above except the last
mentioned are indeed among the re-
quirements for loyalty to Julesburg-
the home town. But in the case of
the bootlegger, loyalty to the home
town would require that every man
and woman do his and her utmost to
run him out of the community and
compel him to take up an honest en-
ployment.
But loyalty to Julesburg is more
than all these. 1t is a bigger thing
than most people surmise.
For instance, here's professional
or business man, or firm, as the case
may be, who operates in our town.
He or they do not belong to or con-
tribute to any organization for the
progress of the town and community
They make money here to invest else.

community, pure and simple, sapping
the community's vitality and offer.
ing very little if nothing in return.
Is it loyalty to the town and com
munity to patronize such men? Is il
