An earnest attempt will be made to
standardize the work in every depart
ment and branch of the High School.
While certain physical limitations
necessarily attend the school ct sedg-
wick, and particularly at Ovid, our
effort will be to make whatever work
is done in each place of first-class
and standard nature. In this we real
ize that there will be some confusion
and irregularity, but our constant aim
will be a perfectly organized system
with every department. on a par as
far as the conditions will permit.

Sedgwick at s:45 A. M. and close at
$3.50 P. M. At Ovid the opening will

standard recitation periods during
each day and an intermission of an

rection of Mrs. l.. ]. Lundell. Miss

scheduled to handle the Boys Dormi-

some one else will have to be appoint
ed to this task.

will be a part of the school organiza-

WHEAT GROWERS
ASSN. CAMPAIGN
FOR MEMBERSHIP
Bruce LampsOn. General Mana
ger Colorado Wheat Growers
Association Will Address Com
munity Club Next Monday In
Opening Campaign in County

Opening guns of two weeks men,
6ershlp campaign to be conducted in
Sedgwick county by the Colorado
Wheat Growers association, will be
fired Monday noon, August 9th, at a
special meeting of the Julesburp Com
mrunity Club, at which Mr.. Bruce
Lampson, manager of the association,
will speak.
The campaign, which has the Off
cial commentator of Governor Sweet.
will be "Sign-Up by Mail" drive.
Farmers will not be solicited in per
son, according to the present plans,
but will be induced to join the COOP
erative marketing move BY sending in
their applications by mail.
Features of the campaign will be:
Membership goal of IS per cent of
the wheat growers of Sedgwick coun-
ty.
Aid of the business men of Jules.
burg in promoting the campaign.
A years subscription to the Grit
Advocate given to farmers who join
the organization before September 8.
United effort on the part of tha
Sedgwick county members of the asso-
clation to do their share in the ma
tion-wlde move to control, by means
OF cooperative marketing, the wheat
price throughout the United States
before June /, 1924.
"The Sedgwick county campaign
will be notable for two reasons" said
Mr.. Lampson. "In the first place it
is the start of series of thousands
OF similar campaigns all over the
United States, which will have as their
object the farmer-control of wheat
prices before next years harvest.
ut is also our first effort to sign
up members by mail, and thereby
save part of the amount which it usu-
ally costs to send men out in the
field. Every member that we can
sign up by mail will reduce just so
much Of the expenses of organization,
and it is the effort of our board Of
directors to save every cent we can.
I'VE feel that sentiment in favor of
cooperative marketing and the asso-
citation has reached point where ev.
cry farmer should be willing to vol
UNFAIRLY join, instead of having to be
be talked into the project.
"The stability of this organization
is illustrated by the fact that Gov.
Sweet has made scores of talks urging
farmers to join, and by the fact mat
the Denver banks have loaned Us
$75, 10000 to help US carry on our
work. Scores of other bankers are
active boosters for the plan, as the
one means of giving the farmer some
say as to what he ought to get for
what he raises"

The President has just asked the farmer be content

all aong he has been perfectly content to trust luck for
success When group of people become contented they
lose their enthusiasm and interest in their work How
farmer be contened when he has scarcely enough left af
ter his years work to feed and cothe his family much less
pay his taxes or show any profit on his investment?
To cut down production bankruptcy for the far

preaching to the farmer do not believe is necessary
for the farmer to reduce production believe it is only
for him cooperate in the sale of his produce
other farmer in solidarity effort relief will be afforded
every agriculturalist.
Diversified farming wise but why diversity farming
