Counsel for Van Sweringen In.
terests Also Asks Right to
Issue Securities.

The right Of a number Of mid.
Western railroads controlled by the
Van Sweringen interests to con
solidate and to issue securities
amounting to sos, 500, 900, was ar.
merce Commission today by w. A.
Colston, vice president and general
counsel of the New York, Chicago,

The roads involved are the New
York, Chicago and st. Louis. which
Is to be the holding company; Chi.
cago and State Line, Lake Erie and
Western, and the Fort Wayne. Gin.
cinnati and Louisville.
Chairman Myer called the entire
commission to hear the argument
because Of the Importance of the
issues involved. The commissions
decision may have a bearing on the
plan of the commission to CONSOLE
date the railroads of the country
into a limited number of systems
as provided by the transportation
act.
Would Improve Service.
Colston told the commission the
consolidation plan was consumn1at.
ed on April IL, 1923, and that II
had been approved by the railroad
commissions of New York, Penn.
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
Authority to issue the desired
securities and recognition by the
commission Of the unification of
operation and ownership of the
railroad properties involved, Col
ston said, would make it possible
for the Van Sweringen interests to
render improved service to the
public.
He quoted a letter from Senator
Watson Rep.) of Indiana to the
commission, in which the former
said "the. people of Indiana think
this application of the Nickel Plate
is a step in the right direction and
one along the road indicated by the
commission as necessary to be fol
lowed If private ownership and OPP
Grafton Of railroads are to survive"
Colston stressed the point that
the roads involved in the consoli.
dation plan are not competitive.
1.-THE country needs more ade-
quate and more efficient railroad
service he stated. THE one
means Of effecting improvements
in that service upon which all
testimony agrees is by increased

which Congress intended.
Urges Speedy Action.
In our present national railroad
crisis the introduction of dilatory
questions may cast the balance be.
tween life and death for our ma.

ston dramatically declared in urg

DENIES CAR
SHORTAGE
'uIius Kruttschnitt, S. p. Chair
man, Says Situation Is Bet
ter Than in 1922.
By Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, June 9.-Railroad
service throughout the country and
particularly in the Far West, has
been better and promises to continue
far better than last year, said Julius
Kruttschnitt, chairman Of the South
ern Pacific. today. He discredited
reports from Washington and the
Middle West Of car shortages.
IF there were to be a shortage,
1t should be expected now in the
melon-moving season. when growers
are demanding quick delivery Of prod
ucts in refrigerator cars" he said.
but to meet this sudden demand
the Pacific fruit express had $500
refrigerator cars on the Pacific Coast
on June /.
Eastern roads have returned re-
frigerator cars for several months
satisfactorily, Mr.. Kruttschnitt said,
and he expects no acute trouble in
coming months such as was caused
following the shop strike last year.

Galusha Store Believes
That Advertising Pays

The Chevrolet touring car which
A. Galusha & Son, well-known Clothi-
ers of this city, are going to give
away Christmas Eve, is attracting a
good trade to this store, people COM
ing to the Galusha store from many
miles around to purchase Mems and
Boys wearing apparel. The matter OF
giving away the car was an expert
ment upon the the part of this firm,
and the results already obtained dur
ing the past two weeks since the ini-
tiai announcement in the Grit-Advo-
cate, has proven to Messrs. Galusha
that a good staple line of merchan-
disc such as carried by the Galusha
store. advertised consistently through
a good advertising medium, is not on
ly the foundation, but the real success
Of any retail establishment.
A. Galusha & Son, Clothiers. since
their coming to Julesburg some two
years ago, have maintained the high
quality which goes to make real up
to-date Mems and Boys Furnishings
store. one that Julesburg is justly
proud Of. Messrs. Galusha state that
their success lies in telling the people
what they have in their store through
an advertisement each week, fifty-two
weeks each year, in the Grit-Advocate,
and then backing up the advertising
by selling their customers the right
kind of merchandise at the right
prices.

More Moisture Falls
Here This Week

Rain started falling in Julesburg
Tuesday, and it has been raining at
intervals since, the rain turning into
a light snow Wednesday night. At no
time in this vicinity has the rainfall
been heavy, but the drizzle has been
almost continuous. At Sedgwick the
rainfall is reported to be heavier with
total precipitation of over an inch.
The rain here has been more of mist
and drizzle, intermingled with fur
ries of snow, the ground being cover
ed white with the beautiful" thi s
Thursday morning. However, the
snowfall is very light, with moder-
ate temperature. While the moisture
will undoubtedly prove to be of bene-
fit to the fall wheat which has been
sown, it will stop the beet hauling for
a short time In places where the
rainfall is heavy, it will be hardship
for several days. Quite an acreage of
wheat has been sown over the coun-
ty, but many farmers have quite a
little yet to SOW. The wheat is COM
ing up in good shape, some of it be-
ing several inches in height. There
is also seen large amount of volun-
teer wheat, much of the grain having
fallen down during the past summer.

SENIOR NOTES

The Seniors are back to work after

said that not many lessons were pre-
pared for Mondays classes.
Our sponsor, Mrs. Reich, is at home
today Tuesday, because of illness
The entire class hopes for her imme-
diate return to school.
believe the school should give more
credit to the Friday morning program
committee than they do. AS yet we
have only had one program, but by
the worried look on the representa-
tives' faces, we wonder if they don't
expect to have another.
We have been informed in our Eng
lish class that the Seniors are requir-
ed to have thirty points of outside
reading in order to obtain their cred
it.
Monday, as the English w. class
did not have their assigned lesson,
topics were written out and passed
back and forth among the students
These topics were then discussed by
the student who had drawn them. We
think we have some very able speak
ers among the Seniors.
The S. C. H. S. foot ball team plays
Haxtun on the Haxtun field next Sat
urday, October 9th. Better results
are hoped for in regard to the score,
We hope to have large representa-

the team and help boost them to vic

SOPHOMORE NOTES
Violet French

A kind and helpful mother, wife and
friend, has passed from our midst. 1t
is hardly necessary to say that the
deepest sympathy of, not only the
Sophomore class, but of the whole
school, is extended to Prof. McClin-
took and son, Robert, during their be-
reavement.
The (what some students think
long tedious days of learning have
been resumed after short vacation
of three days. We are "boning"
away as hard as ever, if not more so.
Saturday the foot ball boys will go
to Haxtun to play. 1t is hoped that
large number of the students will
accompany them and will root with a
will. We must not lack school spirit.
