WOMAN'S CLUB
ENDORSES RED
CROSS NURSE
Interesting Program Held at the
Clubs Meeting Wednesday;
All of the Thirty-Six Members
Present Unanimous For Nurse
In Sedgwick County

The Julesburg Woman's Club met
at the home of Mrs. James Galusha
on Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. Walter
Law assisting.
Child Welfare was the topic under
discussion. Mrs. Paul johnson read
several selections from Walter De La
Mares book of children's rhymes,
"Peacock Pie" Mrs. G. H. Austin had
for the current topic "Children's
Week." This movement was started
in 1917 and has grown until it is ma
tion-wide, being observed by pageants,
special motion pictures for children,
programs in churches and other or
ganizations.
Miss Alice Doner, principal of the
grade school had the topic "The Child
Welfare Movement" Miss Doner
pointed out that this movement is
sweeping the country, there being no
less than 10 national organizations de-
voted to this line of work besides the
National Children's Bureau under the
cabinet department of Labor. Miss
Redmond's work in the county last
year was sketched by Miss Doner.
Mrs. F. G. Dutton talked on First
Aid and the Art of Bandaging." She
demonstrated her talk with the three
cornered sling bandage for an arm
dressing and the four-tail bandage for
scalp or chin wound. Other first aid
was also shown.
The climax of the afternoon was an
address by Albert Evans on the sub
jeet "Service." Mr.. Evans il from
Denver and comes as a representative
from the Red Cross.
The roll call for the day was "Do
we need. nurse in Sedgwick Coun-
ty?" This was responded to most en-
phatically in the affirmative by every
one of the SO members present. Points
were brought out to show the economic
value as well as the humanitarian as
pect of a county nurse. 1t costs the
state of Colorado $30,000.00 to take
care Of blind person who is charge
upon the state if he lives to be sixty
years old. About one third of the
cases of blindness could be prevented
if proper care were given during
childhood. If a nurse is able to find
but one such case and supply rene
dy, she has paid her salary to the
county for ten years.
There is certain case in Sedgwick
county where the two older children
are already blind. Three younger
ones were going the same road. Miss
Redmond was instrumental in having
their eyes treated and later had them
supplied with glasses. They report
much improvement and perhaps she
has saved the taxpayers $4,000 per
month for each of them during their
natural life. One epidemic prepented
would be worth much more than the
nurses salary. We had two cases OF
smallpox in the county last winter.
Miss Redmond was on the job, keep
ing close watch in the district where
the cases were and persuading gen.
eral vaccination. We had no epidem-
ic. Many other equally strong argu-
ments were advanced.

GAMES IN OUR
SCHOOLS ARE
VERY HELPFUL

The idea that games like baseball,
football, basketball, ETC., are needed
for the training of young people prob
ably seems ridiculous to many Of the
old-timers Of Julesburg and communi-
ty. That an effort should be made
to have such games related to their
school work, no doubt seems even more
ridiculous. They will argue that these
young people have abundant opportun-
ity to play games and do not need any
leadership in thing they will do for
themselves anyway.
To the contrary, statistics of the
modern times conclusively prove that
good games in the schools, if well
supervised, teach the school pupils to
acquire confidence in themselves and
ability to exercise leadership. These
are qualities that a great many per-
sons lack, which proves to be very det-
rimental in the active pursuit of hap
piness and prosperity.
Get boy out on a football field,
and he can be taught physical, mental
and moral courage. He should learn
to stand defeat gracefully, to play
the game honorably, to concede the
right OF others, to cooperate with his
team, to subordinate his own desires
to the will of the majority, and to
control his temper.
Lessons like these are just as es-
sential and valuable as anything the
pupil can learn in the school room.
The pupils should be encouraged in
their football. basketball, and baseball
teams, and given loyal support by the
citizens of the community in their
various sports activities. They will
learn a great deal from such activi-
ties not taught in any book.

SUGAR COMPANY
OFFICIALS NOT
ANTAGONISTIC

Officials of the Great Western Su-
gar company are not antagonistic to
collective bargaining on the part of
the farmers, Mr.. H. C. Giese, super
ntendent of the Fort Morgan factory,
told the business men of Brush at a
meeting of the Civic club last week.
"Collective selling is right" said Mr..
Giese. at is simply a question of eff
ficiency, and every business man rec
ognizes the essentials that are neces-
sary for the farmer to win in the long
pull. When the farmer is encouraged
in calm thought and deliberation on
these matters, he will have developed
into a business man."
Mr.. Giese did not comment on the
proposed $3.50 contract of the Noun
tain States Beet Growers association,
and stated that his remarks referred
only to the general principles of CO.
operative marketing.
"No business man can honestly de-
ny that the principals Of cooperative
marketing are not just principals for
the farmer to adopt" said Mr.. Bruce
Lampson, general manager of the
Colorado Wheat Growers association.
who also addressed the meeting. III
he did that he would be denying the
principals on which, in nine cases out
of ten, he conducts his own business.
collective bargaining and selling is
the keystone of success in every busi-
ness today. If the farmer is to com,
pete successfully in the commercial!
world, he must adopt the methods OF
that world. That applies no matter
what commodity he raises, whether its
beets or wheat, or whether it's eggs

FOOTBALL NOTES
Rex Brown

Well folks, the boys came home
from Sidney with the short end of the
score, but although the score counts
for quite a bit, we feel better when
we know that the boys outplayed them
when it came right down to foot
ball. "Luck" as the saying is, was
just with the Sidney fellows, although
luck wont DO It ~ .aione. It had
plenty 81 help. Barnes and Reed
starred for Julesburg, the former on
end runs and the latter on line plung-
ing. In fact all the boys played a
good game. 1t was a clean game. The
fellows of Sidney played fair and
square. The new quarterback, Paul
Carlson, shows the making of star
quarter for the old Julesburg High.
Everybody come to the best game
of the year tomorrow (Friday) Octo-
Der 5th, when the Sterling High
School team plays S. C. H. S. on the
5. c. H. S. Field here. 1t will be the
first game Of the season for Sterling
and the third for s. C. H. S. This will
be the first time in the history of the
schools that Sterling has come to
Julesburg to play football. Let's see
if everybody can't be there when the
whistle blows. Let's go. Give the
boys all the support you can. Let's
back up our team to the last down.
The boys play Chappell, Nebr at
Chappell a week from tomorrow (Fri-
day). If we win here with Sterling
the boys promise to beat Chappell, so
everybody come out for the big game.
Coach Filenger is working hard in
rounding the boys into shape for these
two games.

Well let's see what we have to tell
you this week. Oh, yes! We have
most splendid organization up here
this year. This certain organization
is the Girls Glee Club. This year
this club has been thoroughly organ
lied and will certainly be looked for
ward to as a source Of entertainment.
An executive board consists of a rep
resentative from each class and the
officers Of the club are: President
Doris Parker; Observation-Disclosures
lie Deily; secretary and treasurer
ick. Doris Parker, Eldiva Pool and
hIGild ilCOetiSh are luc OcIllOT rep
resentatives; Marjorie Deily, Junior
representative; Mabel Franklin, Soph-
omore representative; Jessie French,
Freshmen representative. Mrs. George
H. Thompson is director of the Glee
Club and with her ideas and those of
the executive board, no doubt all the
entertainments given by this club will
be very novel and unique.
The Freshman party Monday even
ing was a huge success. Everyone
was full of the right kind of pep and
enthusiasm. True, the Freshmen
boys did have rather startled express
sions on their faces when the full pro-
cedure of kissing the blarney stone
had taken place. And certainly those
who were so indignant in years past
because of the "green" ice cream serv-
ed at the Freshmen party, should feel
fully compensated by the good eats
served Monday evening. The decora-
tons in the gym must not be slighted
for they were very artistic and beau
tiful. considering the short time in
which they were put up. The enter
tainment in the auditorium as we'll as
that in the gym was very interesting.
