LARGE CROWD
ATTENDS PLAY
AT HIPPODROME

A large crowd greeted the presenta-
ton of "Everyman," the morality
play, given under the auspices of the
Julesburg Woman's Club at the Hip
podrome Theatre Wednesday evening,
this being the last number of the
Community Lyceum Course. This
entertainment was different from
anything ever presented here before,
the play being an allegory and telling
how God sends Death to summon ev-
cry creature to come and give an ac-
count of his life in this world. The
play was written in the fourteenth
century by Peter Dorland, Monk of
Diest, Belgium. The first success
full presentation in the United States
was in the year 1908.
The presentation of "Everyman"
here Wednesday evening by local tai
ent was of very creditable nature,
meeting the approval of the large
audience. Much credit is due to Mr..
George H. Thompson for his efforts
in the direction of this entertainment.
The costumes, lighting effects and
stage settings were beautiful and
appropriate.

COMMUNITY CLUB
HOLDS BUSINESS
MEETING MONDAY

A business meeting of the Jules
burg Community Club was held at the
Sedgwick County High School Mon
day evening. President G. H. Austin
presided. Jesse C. Jones acted as Sc
cretary in the absence of Secretary G..
W. Labaree.
The matter of placing city water
on the camping grounds and making
other improvements for the conven-
ience of tourists visiting Julesburg
this summer was discussed at length.
A committee has been appointed to
look after this matter, and make re-
port at the next meeting of the club
which will be held Monday evening,
April 18th, at the high school.
The future athletic program was
discussed to some extent, it being fin
ally decided to leave this matter ov-
er until next Monday evenings meet
ing. when a definite program will be
outlined for the next few months.
Inasmuch as it was agreed at the
beginning of the last volley ball
tournament that the three losing
teams were to furnish the winners a
banquet, at Monday evenings meet
ing it was decided to hold the banquet
next Monday evening at the high
school building, and that the captains
of teams No. Four. Five and Six
should make arrangements for this
banquet, these being the losing teams
in the recent tournament.
The matter of depot facilities was

the T own Council in presenting the
same to the State Public Utilities

BANK FOR EVERYBODY"
MASONS HOLD an
NUAL BANQUET
FRIDAY EVENING

The evening of Friday, April 7th,
again witnessed the gathering OF
Masons and their ladies at the annual
banquet of Logan Lodge No. 70. held
in the lodge room.
Promptly at seven O'Clock over one
hundred people sat down to a sump-
tuous and toothsome feast consisting
of five courses, planned by Messrs. w..
H. Pound and 7. w. jenkins, the com
mittee in charge of refreshments. At
the termination of the dinner G. F..
Parker, as toastmaster of the even
ing, introduced Jacob Frickel, Jr.,
who entertained the gathering with
an interesting history Of Logan Lodge
from the time of its charter up to
the present date, contrasting vast
difference in conditions beginning
with the time when Logan Lodge had
membership of ten, and the present
which gives a membership of nearly
one hundred.
The wonderful opportunities fra
ternal organizations have in which to
serve a community was ably dis
cussed by Mrs. C. w. White, speaking
as member of the Eastern Star, the
main point of her address being that
service to others constitutes the high
est type of fraternal membership.
Mrs. Ray C. johnson entertained
the gathering by the reading of a
very humorous bit of verse, especially
written for the occasion, entitled "Ted
and Me-" which told of all the won
derful sights witnessed by two little
tots peeking through crack at a
Masonic ceremonial.
A very pleasant surprise of the
evening came when George P. Young.
member of Logan Lodge, now resid-
ing at Dix, Nebr., whom we have not
had the pleasure of listening to for
several years, appeared in time to
address the gathering in few well
chosen and humorous remarks.
The next speaker stated in his
opening remarks that he would re-
frain from making the usual stereo-
typed spread-eagle address often
heard at gatherings of this kind; that
| owing to the fact that he was among
his friends an address of this char
acter would not be well taken, COM
ing from him. In his usual intimate
and pleasing manner, Roy T. johnson
of Sterling, talked to and with his
listeners on many and various inter-
esting subjects.
Masonry, AS A Worldwide 1nsti-
tution," was the subject ably hand
led by Rev. A. j. Waller, who re-
counted many of his experiences in
England and India, where he had
spent a number of years of his life
+! Rev. Waller's address was concluded
by the reading of poem from Kip
ling, which depicted in realistic
manner the wonderful fraternal spirit
that exists throughout the world in
| Masonry.
The remainder of the evening was
spent in dancing, to the splendid mu-
sic furnished by the Blue Grass Or
chestra.

High Winds Visit Here
First of this Week

A wind storm of considerable inten-
sity swept this section, beginning
Sunday morning and lasting for two
days, continuing with violent strength
up until Monday night, when the wind
abated.
There was only a slight trace of
snowfall, and with the great clouds of
dust and dirt caused from the high
wind, housewives faced the most dis
NAL task since the memorable sand
storm of 1920, the strong wind carry
ing dust and dirt under doors and
through spaces about the windows.
covering furniture and floors with
films of dirt A cold tinge in the
wind also made it very disagreeable.
Although there were a number of out
buildings, windmills, etc. blown over,
the damage to the wheat throughout
the county is the biggest damage, it
being hard to estimate what this
amounts to at this time. as opinions
vary widely on this subject.
This section was benefited to some
extent by light snowfall Wednes-
day, which provided some much need
ed moisture.
