"United We Stand" There is
nothing of greater Importance to US
than the prosperity of Julesburg and
community. Prosperity at home is
based on the local conditions. Let US
get together for better town and
community by working in spirit Of
harmony and cooperation. Not only
should we promote the business sue
cess of the people and interests of the
town in general, but we should show
our appreciation of having the chance
to provide for ourselves the neces-
stiles of life through the prosperity
of our town and community. The old
motto of Omitted We Stand" should
appeal to US as being necessary to the
upbuilding of our town and commun-
ity, for without unity we can accom-
plish nothing Moral - Don't upset
the Home Town Wagon by pulling in
different directions. The Grit-Advo-
cate is a firm believer that the way
to gain mutual benefits is for the
citizens of the community to cooper
ate with each other all along the line,
and disregard little petty grievances
which are bound to creep into the
community life. Let's pull together
for the progress of Julesburg and

ROAD SIGN AT
Big SPRINGS Is
COMMENTED ON

The Denver Commercial, official or
gan Of the Denver Civic and CONNER
cial Association, goes to the pains Of
very lengthy explanation to the eff
feet that Denver is not responsible
for a road sign erected at Big
Springs, Nebr., directing traffic over
the feeder of the Lincoln Highway
through Colorado to Denver. A Wig
orous complaint has been made by
Cheyenne, the chamber of commerce
of that city charging Classification Is
Colorado's Part"
So far as the Advocate knows there
is no mystery about this sign. It was
erected by number Of northeastern
Colorado cities and towns as the only
apparent means of obtaining a fair
deal in the matter of tourist traffic.
It's only intent is to inform tourists
that the Lincoln highway along the
South Platte valley is highly i'm
proved road and that it is shorter
route to Denver than the route thru
Nebraska and Wyoming.
Intentionally or Internationally. the
state of Nebraska for years neglect
ed to improve short stretch of high
way between Big Springs and the
Colorado line. Through Colorado to
Denver this road is and has been for
several years in excellent condition.
| Tourists who inquired about the best
way to Denver were told that the road
leading through Colorado was saw
full" or terms to the same effect. In
Nebraska it was lawful" The tour
lists were warned to turn to the west,
through Cheyenne to Denver. Of
course this deal was unfair both to the
tourists and to the communities of
northea stern Colorado. The highway
authorities of Nebraska were repeat
edly requested to have the short bit
of road improved and properly mark
ed, but no results were obtained.
Cities of Colorado, unable to have
tourists informed of the truth, went
together through representatives of
their commercial organizations and
erected the sign to tell the truth and
to tell it so it would not be overlook
ed. No trickery or Justification was
intended. Neither Denver nor any
other Colorado community need offer
apologies or excuses.-Sterling Eve
ming Advocate.

MUCH NEEDED
RAINS FALL HERE
FIRST OF WEEK
Prospects For Wheat Crop Are
Best In Four Years; Moisture
Also Great Benefit to the
Corn And Other Growing
Crops; This Section Fortunate
With Practically No Hail

Much needed rains fell in this sec
tion Tuesday night and Wednesday,
the precipitation recorded in Jules
burg at the Citizens National Bank
being 1.95 inches. 1t is reported that
there was an even heavier rainfall in
the Ovid section and west of this
city. Rain fell in the most parts of
of this section, and the gratifying
feature of this much needed moisture
at this time was the absence of hail
anywhere. Sedgwick county and the
adjoining territory has been very for;
tunate in having practically no hail
this season. The rainfall of Tuesday
night and Wednesday came when it
was most needed, and should be suf-
ficient to mature the wheat crop in
this district. The prospects for a
bumper wheat crop are the best in
four years. The recent moisture also
will be. of great benefit to the corn
and other growing crops. Small grain
has been ripening very fast the past
week, and the winter wheat will be
ready for the header and combine in
about two weeks.

PASSONNEAU SAYS
MILLS AT MERCY
OF THE GROWERS

Fort Collins, July lift rs per

cooperative selling organization you
could practically dictate prices to the
sugar mills"
This was the keynote of an address
by Joseph Passonneau, state market
director, here Thursday, July 12, to
beet growers organizing to prevent
another disastrous season in 1924.
Growers lost an average of $22 an
acre on the 1923 crop, according to re-
ports to the Mountain States Beet
Growers association.
"The factory forces you to sign the
most disadvantageous contract you
can possible accept" Passonneau said
"That is because it deals with indi-

crop of any particular grower.
