THE
PROMENADE

An exchange bewails the passing
of the old custom of promenading" on
pleasant evenings, and wishes it night
be restored. We believe many Jules
burg people will agree with him. Not
so long ago the summer evenings in
every community found groups of
people, strolling guilty along the sire
cts, stopping to chat with other
groups, and combining social inter-
course, mild after-supper exercise and
enjoyment of the best part of the day
in a fashion as inexpensive as it was
conductive to health and neighbor-
illness. But the champion of the pro-
menade points out, and it is a pity,
that the fashion of tearing about in
motor cars with little result but the
exhaustion of purse and nervous en-
ergy has completely swamped the old
custom. use your legs" he urges
in his paper. ut is cheaper than
riding and more restful of mind and
body. And you'll feel better toward
your neighbor after meeting him on
the sidewalk than you will if you
throw dust and dirt all over him from
your seat in an automobile"

THE STRIKE
TRAGEDY

In cautioning iron and steel work
ers against overuse of the strike, Sec
retary of Labor James J. Davis. saws:
Let US be slow to use the strike
weapon. The tragedy of every strike
1t seems to me. that ultimately it is
settled by negotiation or compromise.
After men have been idle for months,
after women and children have been
brought down to the last crust of
bread. the representatives of both
sides get together around the counsel
table and reach settlement. They 90
right back to where they were when
the months of misery began, and in
almost every case both the worker
and the employer have lost by the
conflict. Instead of conference after
months of industrial battle. l would
have counsel before the strike is call
ed"
Never was saner statement made
to both employees and employers. It
sums up the strike evil in a nutshell so
that any working man can understand
it.

by ones outside their familis. Being
corrected in regard to one of the few
pleasures available here. Being told
that they sin because they participate
with hundreds Of others at one of the
clean and legitimate business inst.
tutions of our city.
This correction points, out that
dancing is an evil. That those who
indulge are not Christians.
How strange this seems to one who
has been on the outside in the mast
few years. Why, if this very popular
pleasure is an evil it does not seem
possible that in so many, and in fact
all of our larger cities, have estab.
lished ball rooms under the same roof
where the gospel is preached? Does
MT it seem strange that many of the
leading denominations are giving pub.
lie dances for church benefits if the
art OF dancing is such an evil? No,
it is hard to believe that Big Springs
IS an exception in the eyes of the
Lord. 1t looks very much as if the
evil is more in the minds of the people
who condemn the tripping of the
light fantastic than in those who at

abide. Where young and old assem-

street as she does at a dance. Ger.
tainly our young ladies' do not attend
dances for the purpose of being EN-.

not travel to the evil but they go for
the social part of it. To meet friends

Of course, there are exceptions. We
DO not approve of our young people

as fine a pleasure resort as many Of

FARMER WORKS
ON FAITH

If other national groups of labor
would work as the farmer does, there
would be no economic troubles. About
one-third of the American people earn
their livelihood on the farm, and this
great army of labor works on faith.
The farmer carries all the risks of
weather. heat and cold. of flood and
drought. of storms, of insect pests and
of plant and animal disease. His wag-
es are not paid regularly every week
or every month. Instead he must re-
ceive his compensation at irregular
intervals varying from three months
to a year or more, depending upon
the nature Of the crop. He must
plant enough to make sure that there
will be food for all with the certainty
that at the same time in unusually
favorable seasons the result may be
a large surplus probably will cause
lower prices than will cover the actual
cost of production. He must be will
ing to accept these prices with the
best grace possible and adjust his
living expenses to meet his reduced
income.
How different is the farmers ser
vice to humanity from those groups
who think only of themselves and how
they can profit the most at the ex-
pense of the community at large and
especially at the expense of the
farmer who is usually the goat.
The farmer is sick and tired of
labor disputes. He sees no reason
why such disputes cannot be settled
in an orderly and lawful way without
the interruption of service which
COTS him. and in fact all the rest of
US, so dearly.

THE BEAN
CAMPAIGN

The bean industry, including tht
bean growers, jobbers, wholesalers
and Gamers, is planning million-dol'
lar campaign to increase bean con.
sumption in this country.
This great drive will have the heart
support of Julesburg people, and nc
promoting its success. We have al.
ways been nation of bean eaters
and this section can hold its own at
any time along that line. Nobody
will begrudge the bean-promoters
any of the success they may win. At
the same time, their campaign is sure
to stir up argument about the merits
Of the vegetable in question.
There is a considerable number of
consumers nowadays stoutly main
tanning that the bean. in its ripened
form, is not fit food for human con-
sumption, no matter how it may be
cooked, canned or camouflaged. And
in their support it may be admitted
that beans are not dietary delicacy
that one "can never get enough of
Many people have got enough baked
beans. Ask the soldiers who have
had them for steady diet. Ask the
sailors. who resent the term "navy''
beans.
But despite all. this beans surely
have their virtues and value as good
nourishing food for persons engaged
in physical works or exercise. and
particularly for persons living an out
door life. The same remark applies
to corn meal, likewise good standby
by of the American public. Indoor
folks as rule do not seem to take 50
kindly TO either as their sturdy fore
fathers did. And maybe that is the
reason that back in the good old days
they didn't do so much complaining
about indigestion.
