Robbing oil stations appears to be
favorlte sport in many cities. If
f robbers are intent upon putting
oil companies out of business they
mistaken-it is the manager of
station who is the loser. The rob-
rs may have in mind the theory of

MEETINGS TO Be
HELD IN TOWNS
OF THE COUNTY

The Sedgwick County Agricultural
Committee was informed after mass
meeting at Sedgwick for the purpose
of what interest there is in this ter
ritory in general farming. 1t devol-
oped that there was sufficient interest
displayed to form tentative organ
ization for the purpose of spreading
the gospel of better dairy cows. of
better chickens and better hogs-and
more of all of them.
1t is hoped that from this small
start will come eventually, calf clubs
for the boys on the farm, teaching
them the points of good dairy or
beef calf, and the care that should be
given such stock, and the possible
profit, cow testing associations, even
in small way. for determining which
cows really give net profit over their
feed; pig clubs for the purpose of
teaching the points and handling of
hogs; chicken clubs that will teach the
breeds and their characteristics; and
finally, some organization that can
finance the shipment into this terri
tory of better cows and hogs at cost
to the farmer.
AS start in this work, three meet
ings will be held by the committe,
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
May 9Th, May 9th and May 10th,
for the purpose of arousing interest in
the work, and to see what interest
may already be here. These meetings
will have for their subject the practi-
cal problems which must be handled
by the farmers in the valley and on
the table land, before they can in
crease their dairy herds. and what
constitutes the good dairy COW. when
the time comes that the feed and the
money for new cows is here.
The first meeting will be held at
Sedgwick, Tuesday, May 9th, at P.
NJ, outdoors, to be followed by a meet
ing indoors later in the evening. The
next outdoor meeting is at Ovid. We'd
nesday. May 9th, with probable
meeting later at night. The third
meeting. Thursday. May 10th, will be
at the court house in Julesburg at
P. NJ. At these outdoor meetings the
extension workers expect to have a
dairy COW or two for illustrating their
talks. The later meeting in Jules
burg will be held at the High School
Auditorium at 7:3O P. NJ, Wednesday,
May 10th.

HOSPITAL
IS CLOSED
SATURDAY
Inability To Make En-
terprise Pay Given As
Reason For Closing;
Mass Meeting To Be
Held Saturday

The Julesburg Community Hospital
was closed last Saturday. This insti-
tuition has been operated during the
past two years or more under the
management of Mr.. and Mrs. Finley
Dye, who announced last week that
owing to the inability to make the en-
terprise financial success, they had
decided to relinquish the manage
ment of the hospital, which has re-
suited in the temporary closing at
least of the institution. There are
runlors afloat that an effort is being
made by persons in the community
! to reopen the hospital under new man.
asement, but there is no definite in
formation relative to this matter at
this time.
A large number of the progressive
citizens of Julesburg and community
no doubt realize that untold benefits
are derived from hospital operating
within our, midst, and they regret very
| much to see the institution closed. AS
ka community proposition it is indeed
ia big asset in numerous ways. and
Hyou will find but very few who will
argue to the contrary. However. dur
ing the past few months, it is said
& .that the hospital was not self sustain
ssfng in financial way. owing to the
g1ack of patients. What has been re-
ssponsible for this situation, we can
s1Tot say-perhaps no one else can, but
VT is reasonable to presume that lull
EeSisted in this the same as occurs
Mn most all other business enterpris-
kes. For considerable length of time
Ethe hospital derived a substantial pro-
Nfit, this fact being gained from infor-
gy?7ation given out by Mr.. Dye.
A Mr.. and Mrs. Dye have relinquished
athe management of the hospital and
closed the institution as far as they
Fare concerned, they evidently not de-
ksiring to continue its operation. Now
the proposition is up to the people of
8the community whether or not the
#hospital is to be reopened and itA op-
keration continued under new maKage-
7sment. We believe that there is con-
Siderable sentiment for the institu-
tion to be reopened, and in this event
Eupport of the large majority of the
fitiZens of the community will be re-
eeived. it being thoroughly realized
hat the hospital is much needed en-
terprise.
A mass meeting of citizens will be
beld in the district court room of the
kourt house next Saturday afternoon,
April 28th at two o'clock for the pur-
nose of discussing the hospital ques-
ion and formulating further plans
oward reopening the institution. All
ersons interested in seeing this en-
erprise continued are urged to be in
ttendance at this meeting.
