The chautauqua this year is conduct

anteed by the Julesburg Community
Club, this organization having signed
the contract for the five-day session.
The local committee is composed of
A. Galusha, chairman; W. w. Vaught,
secretary-treasurer; C. H. Peterson,
Fred Fender and G. H. Austin. The
advance sale of season tickets is now
in progress. and the committee re-
ports that the sale of season tickets
thus far would not indicate that the
proper cooperation is being accorded
for the successful financing of this

Community Club, as guanantor, fac
es the situation of making up a de-
ficit unless the citizens generally Of
the community rally to their aid and
purchase the season tickets.
The chautauqua program this year
appears to be above the average, with
the two plays "The Bubble" and "a
Pair of Sixes' as feature attractions.

WHEAT GROWERS
OFFICIALS TALK
AT LOVES HALL

Owing to an urgent call from the
ernor William E. Sweet took the train
here at two o'clock Saturday morn
ing for Denver in order to head the
delegation of the state which went
to the Colorado-Kansas state line to
meet President Harding and his party
upon their entrance into this state
Saturday night. Governor Sweet
came to Julesburg from Holyoke
where he spoke Friday night, arriv-
ing here about midnight.
Governor Sweet was scheduled to
speak in >Julesburg Saturday after
noon in behalf of cooperative mark
eting, and the large crowd which as
sembled at loves hall that afternoon
was disappointed to learn that the
governor necessarily had to cancel
his engagement here at this time.
1t was announced at the meeting Sat
urday afternoon that Governor Sweet
has promised to speak here at later
date.
James Dawson, prominent farmer
residing near Ovid, presided and in
troduced the two chief speakers of
the afternoon, they being George c.
Jewett. general manager of the Amer
lean Wheat Growers Association and
Bruce Lampson. general manager of
the Colorado Wheat Growers Associ-
alton, with headquarters at Sterling.
"Wheat producers of America need
never expect stable, profitable mark
cts until they take action of their own
accord to see that their product is
economically and efficiently mark
eted."
This was the keynote of Mr.
Jewett's address last Saturday after
noon in this city.
There is only one permanent solu-
ton for the much talked of farm pro-
blem, and that rests with the farmers
themselves" said Jewett.
"What is the situation in wheat to-
day? Three-fourths Of the years
after the harvest. Terminals are
glutted, railroads cannot supply cars
fast enough and certainly the consum-
ers of the country canot eat fast enou-
gh to keep up the demand.
"The break in prices has more than
q temporary effect. It continues
throughout the year, and as result
our markets assume a level far lower
than wheat producers are justly en-
titled to.
"Just supose that the Standard Oil
company threw three fourths of its
annual production of gasoline on the
market In three months.
"And suppose that instead of market
ing as solidly cemented concern, un-
der single and definite sales policy
this gasoline were first distributed
to all Of the thousands Of stockholders,
each Of whom took his share and app
reached the buyers as an individ-
ual. What would hapen to the price
of gasoline? And who would be to

CONTEST JUDGES
WILL MAKE TOUR
OF INSPECTION

Early in July the Judges in the
Yard Beautiful Contest will again
make tours of inspection. This is the
score card they will use in grading
your place: Grass, 10 points; Trees,
10 points; Shrubbery, 10 points; Flow
ers, 10 points; Foundation Planting,
10 points; Screening, 10 points; Neat
ness and Sanitation, 10. points; Back
yard, Is points; Adjacent Street and
Alley, II, points.
In scoring place the grass is OBJ
served first. No place in Julesburg
has perfect sod-the dandelion has
done its work too we'll Some of the
more nearly perfect lawns are the
one on First Street between the Fill
ing Station and the Power House and
the Harry Souder lawn on West
Sixth Street.
Trees should be of good varieties
such as elm, poplar, maple, linden, etc.
There are number of fine trees in
Julesburg. Just at present there are
numerous pests and tree enemies get
ting in their work, much to the dismay
OF the tree owners. Some of the worst
destruction appears on the box elder
trees on East Third Street in the
block next to the court house. The
writer has seen five trees literally
stripped bare of leaves by green
caterpillar. Spraying in time would
have saved them.
The next three points on the score
card go well together for the best
foundation planting consists Of shrubs
and vines. Bits of bright flowers are
often used to advantage in front Of
the shrubbery. Vines also make good
screens for unsightly views-the
neighbors' bad alley for instance.
The whole place must be neat and
clean and free from all refuse and
odors. If there is vegetable garden
there should be no weeds and it should
be screened from view by a row Of
flowers or shrubs because later in the
season all vegetable gardens become

ing the same to order at about ten
O'Clock. Mr.. Austin announced the
purpose of the meeting was to hear
a report of the auditing company, and
called on Mr.. G. A. Bryan, one of the
auditors.
Following is brief summary of
Mr.. Bryan's remarks relative to the
auditing of the Julesburg Cooperative
Grain Company's books:
"Any claims made by us as repre-
sentatives of the International Audit
Company, are a matter of record, and
we have not hesitated to record facts
During the course of our audit of the
Julesburg Cooperative Grain Com
pany's books in behalf of Mr.. VIM.
Duncan, we have noted numerous ir-
regl1arities. showing the irregular
handling and mismanagement of the
company's affairs and finances.
myself and Mr.. High, the account
ants in charge of the audit have fol-
lowed our profession for seventeen
and eleven years respectively. We
recognize Irregularities when they
come under our observation, and
when the irregular handling of cor
poration funds come under our OBJ
servation. we recognize such transac-
tions as irregularities. In executing
bond in the amount of $4,000. 90 in
our behalf, the Massachusetts Bond
ing and Surety Company felt assured
that the accountants assigned to the
fulfilment of our contract with Mr..
Duncan were accountants who pos
sessed the necessary qualifica tons
and experience to perform the re-
quirements of the contract.
"Our audit covers the period of the
company's affairs from March 5th,
1917 to March 31st, 1923. Our re-
port today is not quite fully complet-
ed. but we expect to give Mr.. Duncan
the full and complete report not lat
er than Thursday of next week.
"Our report is the result of a care

company's books. This examination

Work in getting the base ball dia-
mond in shape has been in progress at

Julesburg will have a winning team
before the season is much further ad-
vanced.
