railroad by an allotment of $117,-

road was operated by the govern

However, unless additional relief is
afforded within two months the
vast territory in Kansas, Oklahoma

be left without rail transportation.
The road has been in the hands of
a receiver for six years and has run
from Wichita, Kan, to Alpine

the region through which it passes
will be compelled to return to

In Peoria permits were to the

81 inch OF RAIN
VISITS THIS Sec
TION THIS WEEK

This section has been blessed during
the past week with plentiful supply
of moisture, which came at a timely
and opportune time, the rain being
practically the making of the corn
and spring small grain crops.
On last Saturday evening about six
o'clock a general rain fell in this Sec
ton, which broke the long dry spell of
over a month. The rain was much
heavier southwest and west of Jules
burg, it raining nearly half an inch at
Ovid and south. Again on Sunday
afternoon a heavy downpour follow
ed, and on Monday night another rain
fell. The total precipitation for the
three days as registered in Julesburg
was 81 inch.
The crops in this section are looking
fine, and farmers have been heard to
remark that their crops are better this
year that they have been for several
years. Harvest is now in full sway
and the grain is making more bushels
per acre than had been anticipated.
Some hail fell to the east of Jules
burg the first Of the week, doing con-
siderably damage. The Platte river
valley has been very fortunate this
summer in escaping the destructive
hail, and the beet and potato crops
are better than ever before. On the
whole the crop outlook for Sedgwick
county and territory tributary was
never brighter.

John Thomas Lan1m, for the past
several years an employee at the Geo.
A. Reed hardware store, and a newly
elected deacon in the local Church of
Christ, has definitely decided to enter
the ministry. Mr.. Lamm, who for
some time has been teacher of the
Adult Bible Glass in the local church,
was thoroughly converted to Christ
and His teachings during the revival
meetings held in the Church Of Christ
last spring. Soon thereafter, having
related to Brother Schrader, his pas
tor, the story of his life, he expressed
a desire to carry the Gospel message
to others. Since that time he and his
pastor have been making careful pre-
parations for his entry into definite
Christian work and further training
for the successful ministry Of Gods
Word.
Mr.. Lamm has heard the call of
Christ, even as it is written: Go ye
into all the world and preach the Cos
pie to the whole creation" Though
no longer a young man, his early
training and subsequent experiences
in life would seem to fit him in Pc
culiar way for the Ministry Of the
Gospel. Having early in life begun
the training necessary to fit him for
the ministry in the Friends Church
of which his parents were loyal and
faithful members and which calling it
was his mothers earnest desire that
her son should follow, he afterwards
backslid and turned his attention to
other things. Subsequent experiences
in life during considerable number
of wears caused John to reflect seri-
ously upon his having turned his back

YARD BEAUTI-
FUL" CONTEST Is
IN FULL SWAY

The Judges in the "Yard Beautiful
contest are about to make their second
trip of inspection. They plan to visit
the districts once each month all sum-
mer in order to judge more fairly.
A perfect lawn scores ten points.
Julesburg has no perfect lawns, the
best looking ones only scoring seven
or eight points. When examined they
contain more or less weeds and are
not smooth heavy sod. Others are not
kept neatly along the edges.
!, Trees are rather hard to score full
count on account Of the climate here,
there being not enough moisture to
make really fine trees. Shrubbery
should be grouped in masses about the
Foundation and in the corners of the
lots and on the boundaries, never sim
gle specimens dotting the lawn here
and there. The lawn should present
wide open spaces.
K Screening counts ten points and
means the planting of shrubs and
vines to hide Questionable views such

SEDGWICk COUN-
WFARMERS ARE
BUSY HARVESTING

The harvest season in Sedgwick
County is now in full swing. The
supply of labor seems somewhat in
sufficient as yet, but with the ar
rival of more hands from various
points of the country this situation
is gradually being remedied, and it
is thought there will be no shortage
felt after the next few days.
Much of the wheat that is being
harvested with combines is already be-
ing hauled to the elevators. and it is
of very good grade, indicative Of the
fact that the wheat generally through
out the county is of as fine a quality
as in former years, even though the
quantity may be less in total. The
milling test averages about two per
cent lower than last years but in
grade the wheat is as good and better
than last years, testing on an average
of from Sc to 60 pounds, and some Of
it at 62. All wheat that has reached
the local elevators so far is reported
to be of fine quality.
Many large tracts of the golden
grain are not yet ready for harvest
ing, but continued warm and dry
weather will finish them up in good
shape in due time. The fields that
are now being cut are making ex-
ceptionally encouraging yields, con-
sidering the dryness of the past
spring. Yields of from fifteen to
thirty bushels to the acre are report
ed, and not few fields are making
as high as thirty y-five. 1t will be no
surprising news to hear Of yet heavier
production that this before the season
is over.
The price of wheat is not so good
as we would Ike it to be, but it is
higher now than for the past several
weeks, and it is to be hoped the rise
will continue until the price reaches
at least a fair figure. With salts
factory price on wheat, and with the
crops turning out so well business
conditions would soon make marked
change for the better in this section.

AMERICAN LEGION

Robert Bruce MacGregor of Seat
tie, WASH, soldier of fortune, who has
spent the greater part of his 48 years
drifting around the world looking for
chances to fight, recently obtained
jobs for 236 former soldiers. In Mac
Gregor's career he found wars seven
different times and jumped into them
all. His last war was the one where
the Allies won from the Germans. He
served with the original Princes Pat
regiment which numbered 1903 men
in 1914. Evelen of those 1903 are
now alive. Two Of the eleven can
walk. One of them is MacGregor.
Before the World War MacGregor
fought in the Philippines as his bit in
the Spanish-American war. The Box
ers started mixing it up in China and
he was off to that fracas. The Natal
Rebellion cropped up in South Africa.
MacGregor made the jump from China
and landed in the middle of that war.
The Matabele Uprising and the jamie
son Raid followed. Twelve medals,
four decorations and wounds which
keep him constantly under the doc
tors care are his spoils. Despite his
disabilities he still fights. Just now
he is giving the unemployment prob
lem battle in his home city, Seattle.
Besides that he has adopted and is
educating fifteen year old boy.
A. H. G. Fokker, whose airplanes
were used extensively by the Germans
during the war, has come to America
and is now cooperating with the Amer
lean Naval designers, according to
American Legion information. Ex-
periments in which Fokker is taking
an active part are being made at the
government aviation station at Ana
costa, D. C.
The membership rolls of the London
post of the American Legion show that
it has members in 25 countries, in

UP-TO-DATE BUSINESS
METHODS ARE REQUIR-
ED BY THE MERCHANTS

We are going to be like old Bill
Jones back in Missouri. He was al
ways getting into some sort of an
argument, and it was his chief hobby
to use the expression 81 beg to diff
fer with you" Yes, Bill was a po-
lite cuss, but he has nothing on US.
If you, Mr.. Merchant or Business
Man, still are clinging to old, worn
out, dilapidated methods of doing
business and feel that you will make
just as big a success by so doing
then it is that 1--WE beg to differ with
you" We respect your opinions, but
we shall always hope to convert you.
Merchant and Business Man of Jules
burg, must agree with US that there
could be considerable more trade
brought to Julesburg and kept right
there if the proper business methods
are used. The trade that goes to the
Big City Advertiser-the Mail Order
Firm or the Merchant in a neighbor-
ing town, only goes there because
they invite them to.
We should never be content with the
volume of business we are doing
there's chance of losing out. In
stead of being one of those take-what-
comes business establishments we
should insert the go-get-'em spirit.
One invitation to the public to trade
with you is not practical. Consist
ent publicity with the enthusiastic
straight ht-from-the-shoulder appeal that
is repeated SO many times that the
customer soaks it in-and responds, is
the kind which gets results.
Close your thoughts to the sugges-
ton that your business has reached
the limit of possible activity. OF
every dollar spent by the people of
Julesburg and community-we venture
to say that not over one-half goes
into the local channels of our local
commercial life. The other half is
spent in some other town or city or
sent miles and miles away t6 some
Mail Order House that has the nerve
to advertise and advertise, and keeps
on advertising.
The merchant who is continually
raving about people doing their trad
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1922-07-27

ing out of town, but continues to use
slip-shod business methods, has no one
but himself to blame for this condi-
ton. The public wants to know that
their trade is appreciated and the
business man must pay premium
to get it, which means consistent ad-
vertising, good salesmanship and cour-
teous treatment along with quality
goods at prices which will meet con-
servative competition based on
larger volume of trade.
Julesburg and the territory tribu-
tary is growing in most satisfactory
way. This means that the business
interests have an opportunity to Sc
cure much larger volume of trade
If they will only use the proper me-
thods to secure it. 1t rests on your
Initiative; your get-up-and-do spirit;
your ability to hit the nail right on
the head d-Smack! BangI Too many
merchants are afraid they'll make 80
much noise the people might find out
they are in business.
Now We are not trying to run any
ones business, but we are interested
in seeing Julesburg forge ahead in
every possible way. and wish to see
the largest volume of trade possible
come to this progressive and flourish
ing little city. The Grit-Advocate is
the champion noise-maker. We offer
the merchants and business men of
this community the same weapon en-
ployed by the large city stores and
mail order houses throughout the ma
tion. This instrument is printers ink
gobs of it smeared on thick.
Let's tell the people about our busi-
ness and keep telling them, letting
them know that we are awake and up
and doing. Let's boost and boost hard
for Julesburg and not be afriad to let
people know we are on the map and
growing larger. Think it over Mr..
Merchant and Business Man. You
have the goods to sell and the Grit
Advocate with the largest circulation
of any newspaper in this entire section
is at your disposal. Let US cooperate
with you in increasing your volume of
trade by the consistent use of the ad-
vertising columns of this paper.

One Little Spark May
Play Havoc to Forests

The weather was hot and dry. No
rain for month. The East wind
moaned through the trees. Pine
needles snapped underfoot. July in

The crash of falling trees. The ring
of axes. The swish of saws. Logs,
logs everywhere. Dry top branches,
and slashing. And amidst all these
a putting donkey engine.
A glowing spark from the stack. A
wisp of smoke. The hiss of burning
pine. Cracking flames sweeping on
ward, skyward. A living wall of vivid
fire. Black death and destruction.
ONE LITTLE SPARK and in its
wake 10000 acres of fire-swept land,
100000 feet of burned timber, four
logging camps, Is donkey engines, one
locomotive, 35 flat cars, 20 houses and
three automobiles in ashes, and $780,
