SCHOOL DAYS
JUST AROUND
THE CORNER

Here We are, again right around to
the good old school days, and while
the mere mention of it will be dis
tasteful to the younger generation, to
those out battling the world for liv-
ing it means something.
All Of US look back with regret at
opportunities lost when we were of
school age, and all of US try, when
the occasion presents itself, to impress
on the youth the advantage of getting
good, substantial education while the
chance is afforded.
The schools in Julesburg and Sedg-
wick county will open the 1924
term next week, the Sedgwick County
High School At Julesburg, Sedgwick
and Ovid being scheduled to open on
Tuesday, September 4th, while the
Julesburg Grade school is scheduled to
open next Monday, September 3rd.
The pupils in the Julesburg Grade
School are not expected to go to
school until Tuesday, Sept. 4th, but
the teachers viii report at the school
building at nine o'clock A. M. Monday,
Sept. 3rd.
We would like once more to urge
the citizens of Julesburg and Sedg-
wick county to see if they can't do a
still better job of cooperating with
our school officials and teachers the
coming season than they have yet
done. We know we have good schools,
and we deserve credit for it, but none
of them are so near perfect that they
cannot be improved upon. There is
always a chance to put more enthu-
siasm into the teachers by assuring
them that you are ready and anxious
to help out with the school program
in any way that may be suggested to
you.
There is always time, no matter how
busy you may be, to show the schol-
ars that you are interested in their
work by stopping in at the school
house for few minutes every now
and then and listening to their recita-
tions. There are none of US too busy
to help the school boards with their
problems and to back them up in the
matter of needed improvements, in
stead of raising our hands and crying
against "more expense" So, wi h
all this in mind, and the new school
season at hand, let US resolve to at
least try and find some way in which
we make this school year the best
Sedgwick county has ever known.

ADJUSTMENTS GAL ORE AT COUNTY FAIR
SUCCESSFUL FARMERS
MOVEMENTS
BY BRUCE LAMpsON
BY BRUCE LAMpSON

ing associations can be seer in the
history OF the California associations;
the tobacco raisers' associations, and
the wheat growers of the Pacific
coast. The tobacco growers of the
south have made $45,00O,000 in the
last two years that they would not
have made, if they had no associations.
Not that the pathway Of cooperat-
i've marketing has been entirely one
of roses. These associations have
not reached the height of their sue
cess in one year, or two. But the av-
erage Colorado farmer fails to realize
that cooperative marketing of agri-
cultural products has been going on in
some of the countries for more than a
century. and that it has been going
on in California for twenty years.
1t is in these experimental stations
Of cooperative marketing in Denmark
and California that the rules for sue
cessful cooperative marketing have
been worked out; the rules that every
farmer everywhere can now use for
his own good.
IN another article of this series l
intend to outline some of the early ex-
periments in cooperation. In this ar
ticle will only outline the fundamen-
tai rules of cooperative marketing as
they have been worked out in twenty
years of experiments. They speak
for themselves.
1. One association can successfully
market but one commodity.
2. Members must be signed up by
binding contract over number of
years.
3. The commodity must be market
ed-not dumped. There is no specula-
ton in orderly marketing.
4. The organization must be con-
trolled by the growers, and it must
not be profit organization.
These four rules are the basis OF
successful marketing. No organiza-
ton that has lived up to all of them
has failed. They are the rules that
are the basis for prosperity on the
farm.

ton" Bugaboo.

''SIGN-UP BY MAIL"
CAMPAIGN IS
OPENED HERE

With scores of prominent business
men and farmers of Julesburg and
community throwing their support be-
hind the Colorado Wheat Growers as
sociation, the first week of the asso-
cations membership drive in Sedg-
wick county began last Monday.
The campaign, which is "Sign-Up
by Mail' drive, was opened at a spe-
cial meeting and luncheon of the
Juleshurg Community Club, held Mon
day noon at the Lincoln Cafe. Bruce
Lampson of Sterling, manager of the
Colorado Wheat Growers association,
explained the work of the organization
and answered questions Of the busi-
ness men regarding the financing and
management Of the project.
Local business men were enthusias-
tic over the possibilities of the asso-
citation.
at would be foolish not to support
movement that is designed to give
the farmers Of Sedgwick county more
money" said Ben Wilkinson, presi-
dent of the Julesburg Community
Club. "The business men in other
Colorado communities are said to be
lining up solidly for the cooperative
movement. Any movement that helps
the farmer, it goes without saying, is
going to be of benefit to the town.
Jacob Frickel, Jr., president of the
First National Bank of this city, said,
"If the farmers can get to the point
where they can control the majority
of the wheat, there is no doubt but
that they will benefit
The method of organization and the
operation of the association were de-
scribed briefly by Mr.. Lampson. "The
association is neither gambling nor
storing" he said. "The entire object
of the organization is to supply wheat
to the market when and where the
market demands it, and to cut out the
fluctuation in prices caused by dump

contest have completed their work and
awarded the prizes in each ward to
the following homes:

Kelsey; third, John Halquist. The
place showing the most Improvement
Is that of James Law on East Third
street.
Ward No. 2-First prize, John
Theiss; second prize, Frank Popelka;
third prize, Father Grohman. Great
est improvement is on the vacant lot
between the George Kinsman and j. F.
Hart residences on West Third street.
Ward No. 3-First prize, Oscar
'Corpe; second prize, Jacob Frickei, Jr.,
third prize, John Halkyard. John
,Halkyard's place also shows the great
est improvement.

sette Of ribbon, blue for first, red for
second, white for third and tri color
on the place Of greatest Improvement.
They are open to the public at any
time and the property owners will
xladly show visitors over their places.
It is a difficult task to judge the
places in an entire ward. Sometimes
what appears to be very lovely
place from the front as one views it
in a passing car, is disgraceful in the
rear. No place with neglected al
ley, barn or garden, could score very
high no matter how lovely the front
might be, Each place is graded with
q score card by three judges not resi-.
dents of the ward and the average Of
these three scores determines the rank.
This is the score card used in Judg-
ing: Grass, 10 points; trees 10; flow
ers, 10; shrubbery, 10; foundation
planting, 10; screening 10; neatness
and sanitation 10; backward 15; ada
cent street and alley, Is.
The judges especially commended
St. Anthony's Church in that, all about
the church, including its parking and
alley it is so nicely moved and TRIM
med: the vacant lot between the Geo.
Kinsman and DR.. j. F. Hart residen-
ces-everybody should notice this lit
tie spot of beauty; and the park be-
longing to the Power plant which is
maintained by the city.
There are any number OF citizens IN
Julesburg who are not only proud OF
their town but who are living. so
that their town is proud of them"

ARE BEING HARD
PUSHED FOR LEAD

NEW YORK, May 20.-Strcng op-
position for the champion New York
clubs of the major leagues was de-
veloped during the weeks games, the
st. Louis Cardinals having climbed
high in the National race, while Con-
ME Mack's Athletics added punch to
the American League scramble.
The New York clubs maintained
their leads in the races, but the
strength shown by the Cardinals and
the Athletics was the outstanding
feature of the contests in both
leagues. The Cardinals continued
their heavy hitting and scoring, lead
ing all national clubs for the week.
Their pitchers improved.
In the west the Athletics bowled
over all opposition. winning their
sixth straight game today. The Yam
KEGS won seven of their last eight
games, including the victory over
Chicago today. Cleveland and De-
troit suffered from heavy hitting at
tacks by their opponents. Washing
ton, St. Louis, Chicago and Boston
continued on the losing side.
The Philadelphia Nationals had
another poor week. Brooklyns
strength increased a bit. Pittsburg
and Chicago broke even and Cincin-
natl lost ground. The Giants in

the heavy hitting Cardinals.

UP FAST PACE IN

The lately lowly Athletics carried
their astounding fight to Detroit
where they defeated the Tigers to
L Sunday, their eighth victory in
