Mr.. MERCHANT-DON'T
SLEEP ON THE JOB

With the warm months merchants
in practically every town the size OF
Julesbur9 begin to nurse q severe case
of tireditis-that's q new name for
it, but q good one-and they seem to
be content to drag along with what
ever business that comes their way.
They apparently do not realize that
they are throwing the gate wide open
to the mail order catalogue man, and
that he hits some of his hardest blows
while the weather is hottest. It is
now that he is sending forth his liter
ature, having the way for his fall and
winter harvest. He knows that the
hometown merchant is apt to let
down on his advertising little dur
ing the summer months-and he capi-
talizes on that fact. He is making
hay, so to speak, while the sun is
shining hottest. And when the
home town merchants cools off and
starts in with renewed energy in the
fall it is to find his territory already
plastered with mail order catalogues
and many of his old customers al
ready catalogue buyers. The mail or
der man never sleeps on the job. And
he is honest enough to tell the world
that his richest field is in commun-
tiles where merchants let up on their
advertising during the summer
months Think it over.

PROPORTIONING
YOUR DOLLAR

Making a budget is simply putting
down the amount of money which will
constitute your income; and against
this, the proportion of that income
which your experience, or the exper-
ience Of others, has proved should be
spent for the different items Of living
expenses. These items may be class
ed roughly under the heads Of food,
shelter. clothing. operating or house
hold expenses, and fifth head for
purposes Of convenience named "mis,
cellaneous," which must include all
items not otherwise included. Saw
ings, unless separately arranged for
must come out of the miscellaneous"
allotmfnt-and should come out first.
The only way to beat the high cost
OF living game is by the exercise of
thoughtful and we'll considered dis
elimination. You have got to learn
to buy what you really want-and
then use 1t. In other words, the only
way to get along comfortably these
days is to figure what you must have
and forget the rest. Few can have all
he or she wants Of everything, but
everyone can have something of what
he or she wants by doing without
something not wanted SO much.
The budget system used in a bust
nesslike manner, with the cooper
alton Of every member of the house
hold, is the only way in which small
or moderate income may be most
stretched. Costly foods are by no
means always the most nutritious.

but should be comfortable rather than
luxurious. Clothing 10 q necessity,

A SUCCESSFUL
NEWSPAPER MAN

To be a uccessful newspaper man
calls for variety of talents. An all
around newspaper man should be able
to write poem, discuss the tariff
and all other political questions intel
ligently, umpire a ball game, preach
the gospel, beat lawyer, report a
wedding, saw wood, describe fire,
make one dollar do the work of two,
shine in high society, abuse the liquor
traffic, test "moonshine," subscribe
to charity, go without meals. sneer at
snobbery, wear diamonds, invent ad-
vertisements. overlook scandal, praise
the babies, delight pumpkin raisers,
administer to the afflicted, heal the
fight to the finish, set
type, mould opinions, sweep the Office,
move the world, scorn the flesh and
the devil, be everything, see every
thing on this footstool and support a
family on a small salary.

1t may be truthfully said that there
are good dogs, bad dogs, useful dogs,
useless dogs and q whole lot of other
dogs that can't be exactly classified.
They may all be found in the average
town. If you have good and use
full dog, it is your privilege and duty
have him s properiv pa ' taeed. vi It % is also aso
your duty to see that he does not mo-
lest your neighbors. Just because he
is adorned with license tag is not a
surety that he can have free run thru
all the gardens and homes in town.
The license tag proclaims only that
he is privileged to run at large so
long as he keeps out of mischief. He
is liable to execution if he oversteps
these bounds. If you love your dog,
take care of him. If you don't love
will.

MIDSUMMER NOT A
DESIRABLE SEASON

Midsummer has never been Q popu-
lar period of the year. Very few
poets ever dragged their verses into
newspaper offices in July and Aug
ust. Spring and autum have their re-
spective celebrants, and those seasons
seem to awaken lyric emotions in the
hearts of imaginative people. But
midsummer is popularity regarded as
q period of excessive heat, flies, mos
quitoes and other disagreeables.
The student of nature, however
finds no season of the year more re-
warding than July and August. Then
nature seems in her high tide of fruit
ition. Every bit of vegetation has
reached its full perfection. 1t lacks
the touch of decay that accumulates in
early fall.
It seems the very prime of life of ma
ture's year, when she is creating the
most abundant growth. A July sun
mayscorch the tender inhabitants of
the cities, but the country.people take
it cheerfully, for they know that it is
ripening their products.
1t is pleasure to travel through
the country at this period. Nature
produces no more wonderful sight
than a waving field of grain at the
heighth of its fullness. The yellow
and shimmering surfaces of the
wheatfield seem the carpet of the
golden Eldorado, and no hand of man
ever created 80 soft and poetic color.
And the glistening green of the corn
field-what artist in teytile fabrics
ever formed anything half so wonder
full?
Verify, the people who coop them
selves in towns when these gorgeous
colors, painted by the hand of God, are
revealing themselves on the face Of
nature, know but a small fraction of
the loveliness in which the world un-
folds her heart at midsummer.
There is a great deal of this beau
ty to be seen within 200 miles Of
Julesburg and our people should en-
joy it to the fullest extent.

NATIONS ARE
At PEACE
For First Time in 5000 Years
There Is No international
War, Speaker Declares.

For the first time in 5000 years
there Is no war at any point In
the world today, William Atherton
Du Puy. well-known journalist, said
today in addressing the weekly
luncheon Of the Lions Club in the
New Willard Hotel.
''What approach to war there is
is civil war;" he said. There is no
semblance of fighting as between
different nations.
1.-TWO years ago there were twen-
ty-two wars in existence. At that
time the favorite entertainment of
internationalist was for those who
were opposed to the League Of Ma
tons to bait those who were In
favor of it with the fact that TWEEN
ty wars were going on. Back of
that one runs on through history
indefinitely and never finds time
where there was no war, Never
before since civilization dawned has
there been q time where 1t could
be said that there was no war.
Mr.. Du Puy declared that he
found a longing for peace among
the European people. He said 1t
was q mistake for Americans
to ridicule the League Of Nations
ais being an organization without
accomplishment He said fifty-two
out of the sixty nations Of the
world take the league seriously,
and contribute to its support.
