mented Tom Mix, when making his
latest William Fox production.
Soft Boiled" now showing at the
America theatre.
Playing the role of a shoe clerk
Mr.. Mix found it necessary to wear
an M-itting suit OF pepper and salt
pattern. heavy horn-rimmed glasses
and to part his hair in the middle.
Never before in his long picture
career. had the great western hero
OF the screen looked SO funny. 1t
was at this juncture that Duke"
big great Dane pet of Tom. walked
on to the set. Tom whistled.
Duke" picked up his ears at the
familiar sound and looked around to
ind his master. but he saw no Tom
Mix that he knew. Twice Tom
called to the dog. Duke looked
curtously at the bespectacled person
and walked away. Mix approached
the dog again. calling to him. but
Duke only growled. showed his
big yellow teeth and backed into a
corner. Then Tom went over and
grabbed the animal by the collar.
Refusing to trust his sight and
relying, dog-fashion. upon his sense
of smell. Duke shifted a couple
of times at the strange person who
accosted him in such familiar terms.
Then, and then only. did his nose
tell Duke" that this odd ~appareled
individual was Tom. The dog
wagged his tail in a half-frlendly
fashion and returned to his corner
and made himself comfortable.
Apparently, the dog recognized
the stranger as Tom. but he was

BROKEN MIRROR
GOOD LUCK
So Says Meighan, Star
In Picture Coming
To the Iris.

The. old superstition about seven
years bad luck resulting from a
smashed mirror. has no meaning
for Thomas Meighan. good luck
Paramount star.
In a fight staged recently for his
new picture. "If You Believe It.
It's So" the star threw a mallet
through a mirror of a back bar in
a saloon set and smashed the glass
to -smithereens. The incident made
some shudder. but Mr.. Meighan re
garded it as a sign of good luck.
He also had one Of the liveliest
fights OF his screen career. his op
ponent being Tom Kennedy, n for.
mcr boxer and a powerful man
Sot only was the scene of the fight
divided into three sections. but II
was rehearsed several times before
being shot" The men were pretty
well winded by the time they had
finished.
The scene occurs when Mr.
Melghan in the role of Chick
Harris, defends an old man who is
being brutally treated by a bar
tender. This is only one occasion
when the star has had to battle big
men and experts. In "Cappy Ricks'
he was pitted against Ivan Linow,
n wrestler, in a thriller mixup. Mr.
Meighan is himself a powerful man
and a clever boxer and wrestler
While he had his hands full in both
these combats. he was able to make
q fine showing.
"If You Believe It. It's So" is a
powerful story of underworld life
and tells Of the reformation of a
city crook who goes TO the country
and nnds love in a new environ
ment. 1t will be shown at the Iris

''MANSLAUGHTER"

Do you realize that it may mean a
conviction Of "Manslaughter" if you

rible cost of reckless folly is best
portrayed by Cecil De Miles great
photoplay "ManslaughterA" which

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK, JUEsBURG COLORADO AND
many EVENTS COMMENCE ENENT WEEK
DIVERSIFIED FARMING

One of the most significant COOP
erative undertakings in the history of
Sedgwlck county seems now well on
the way to consummatiOn. The for
nation OF an organization of farmers
and others interested in furthering
diversified farming, while perhaps in
the preliminary stage, has every indi-
cation OF becoming an important fac
tor in the future progress of our
county.
Some few weeks ago representa-
tives of the State Agricultural Col
!ege at Fort Collins visited this coun.
ty in the interest of furthering ex-
tension work. Meetings were held at
Julesburg and Sedgwick at that time,
which resulted in the forming of an
agricultural committee, composed of
representatives from various sections
OF the community
AS a follow-up of the work and to
keep the interest growing agricultur-
al meetings were held at Sedgwick
Tuesday of last week and at Julesburg
last Thursday. At these meetings,
Messrs. Felts and Lascelles, of the
extension department of the State
Agricultural College were present and
made interesting and instructive talks
on the advantages of diversified farm
ing: pointing out the benefits to be
derived from the dairy cow and bet
'"r dairy stock on the farm. They
pointed out also the benefits to be
derived from the organization of vari-
Gus agricultural and stock-raising
clubs.
These men came to Sedgwick coun-
ty from the agricultural college to
assist in awakening the farmers and
citizens to the fact that diversified
farming will be much more profitable
as whole; that the farmer who in
vests all Of his resources in one thing
is usually making mistake, as he is
taking a chance on Just one commod-
ity, and if that commodity brings a
low price, then he is absolutely up
against it; that the farmer who in
vests his resources in many different

cessful one. The farmer who puts
his eggs in more than one basket is

in the early part of the evening,
which were followed by dancing to
the strains of music furnished BY the
Grabll orchestra of Sidney. Nebr.
Friday night was Senior Glass night

INCH MORE OF
MOISTURE FALLS
HERE THIS WEEK

Jupiter Pluvius pulled the moisture
lever again last Sunday evening at
about six O'Clock and poured forth on
Mother Earth a quantity of water
that was most welcome to the people
of this section. And the rain con-
tinued at intervals during Sunday
night, Monday, Monday night, the
storm terminating Tuesday afternoon
following small-sized snow storm
Tuesday morning. The rain and
light snow was general in this section,
there being almost an inch precpita-
ton, or to be exact, .97 of an inch,
according to the report of Frank
Deich. the local cooperative weather
observer.
The moisture this week, coming on
top of the abundance of moisture dur
ing the past few weeks. is of great
benefit to all crops. A large per cent
of the beet seed has been planted in
the valley and some of it has grown
to such an extent that thinning will
be started within few days. Crop
prospects are exceedingly good Thus
far this spring no irrigation has been
necessary for the crops, owing to the
fact that the rains have come at op-
perfume times.
Although the prospects for winter
wheat were not so bright two months
ago, the successive rains of March,
April and thus far in May have ma
terally improved this crop and it is
believed now that the wheat yield will
be better than an average crop. The
spring wheat looks exceptionally good.
A number of our farmers have made
good progress in planting corn, the
rain this week stopping this work

their justification.
Following the dinner president Ber
