nual district convention of the Odd
Fellow Anniversary Association.
Julesburg has been favored in be-
ing selected as the meeting place of
the big Odd Fellows conclave, and

BLOODHOUN(DS
BROUGHT HERE
TUESDAY NIGHT

Sheriff Cunningham was notified
Tuesday morning by Phillip Baum, a
Russian farmer residing about three
miles northeast of Sedgwick, that he
(Baum) had lost a new set of harness
valued at $500, the harness having
been stolen from the barn at tha
Baum place Monday night. Sheriff
Cunningham, and deputy; Clarence
McCone went to the Baum farm
Tuesday. where they made all inves-
tigation, following which the sheriff
got in communication with Henry
Messenger at Alliance, Nebr., owner
Of a pair of bloodhounds. Mr.. Mes
senger informed the sheriff over the
phone that he would be in Julesburg
Tuesday evening with the hounds.
Mr.. Messenger and the blodhounds
arrived in Julesburg on eastbound
passenger train No. Tuesday even
ing, and shortly afterward, party
composed of Mr.. Messenger. sheriff
Cunningham, deputy sheriff Clarence
MeCone and a Grit-Advocate reporter,
in company with the blooGihounds, pro-
ceeded to the Baum farm near Sedg-
wick. Upon the arrival at the barn
where the harness was stolen, the
dogs were started to work. They
took up trail, in which tracks were
plainly visible, that led them to a
house where suspicion had been di-
rected. The dogs were taken back to
the barn at the Baum place several
times, and on each occasion they took
up the trail, which led them to the
same destination as before.
Following this clew the officers
made search of the premises for
the harness, but the stolen property
could not be found, and up until this
time no arrests have been made. al
though strong suspicion is directed
toward certain parties as having been
implicated in the affair. These par
ties strongly protest their innocence.
Mr.. Messenger and the bloodhounds
We're taken to Sidney, Nebr., Tuesday
night via auto, where he caught a
Burlington train for Alliance the fol-
lowing morning.

CHANCE FOR MODERN ARTIST
Almost Any Painter Would Make q
Hit by the Depletion of Flock
of Glyptodons.

Artists have painted every kind OF
picture except one. They have always
preferred flock OF sheep 10 flock Of
glyptodons. We are ar one with the
artists in their admiration of the lights
and shadows of a westering sun on the
backs of sheep making their way home
ward along a wooded road. Nothing,
perhaps, so much breathes the atmos-
phere Of bucolic peace.
But let Us fancy for moment, the
effect of sunlight Oh the backs OF

historic animals with a bony back like
cur tortOises. though they were mon
sters in size. In any light. they must
have made a glittering company, and In
any gallery an oil painting OF them
would create greater sensation than
all the sheep pictures collected there.
Visitors would pass up the sheep at
once for the glyptodOns.

What Are Sun spots7

BY way OF explaining sun spots. an
English scientist during the course of
an address made before the Royal So
ciety, suggested that there may be GER
tain levels in the brilliant shell of hot
vapors constituting the visible surface
OF the sun, where the temperature. al
though very high. falls below the crit
ical temperature Of the elements there
present In that case those elem ents
would be precipItated into liquids, II
the pressure were sufficiently great.
Such liquehed masses. floating IN
gaseous matters Of greater density,
would. 1t is thought, present the char
acteristic appearance of sun spots. for
II the liquid were opaque II would look
darker than the surrounding photo
sphere. When the liquid re-evaporates
the spot disappears. This theory In
plies that the sun spots are the first
visible beginning of a change of state

There is, however, infinite and dan
gerous Importance in the incident to
the extent that it reflects determine
tion on the part of certain elements
of society to keep alive the spirit of
hatred that swept through the world
like an angry flame during the World
war.
Very possibly it was necessary for
the soldiers to be taught to hate each
other before they could efficiently and
effectually kill. But, in so teaching,
the world started something that is
difficult to stop.
Unless it is stopped the end is in
evitable; all modern civilization is go
ing down with crash. There can be
no other end to worldwide hatred
that feeds, horribly and frightfully,
upon its own venom; which consumes
its own vitals.
Ireland is in death agony resulting
from an unreasoning, unappeasing
hatred. The Turks and the Armeni-

MANY ACCIDENTS
CAUSED BY HORN
IIIogioaI Method of "Honking" Is
Serious Menace to Safety
of Traffic.

That the automobile horn Is equally
important as brakes in the prevention
of motor accidents is a fact which ap-
parently very few drivers recognize,
according to bulletin on this subject
issued by the educational bureau OF
The National Motorists association.
There are many situations, in fact,
points out the National Motorists as
sociation, where the horn alone must
be relied upon; but without good judg-
ment in using 1t the driver cannot
hope for favorable results. The bulle-
tin says further:
Disregard for Horn.
Horning, as it is practiced at pres
ent. reveals animal instinct The mo-
torist uses 1t as a signal OF approach
ing doom, just as though he and his
car were entitled TO special privileges.
Accident reports, as analysed by the
National Motorists association, show
that such attitude on the part of the
driver encourages an attitude Of re-
taliatlon and disinclination TO make
concessions on the part of other mo-
torists and pedestrians, with the re-
suit that they take their time about
getting out of the way. This may be
the makings Of an accident if the
