ANNIVERSARY
GRlT-ADVOCATE
Grit-Advocate Enters Upon 25th
Year Today With Bright Pros
poets For Future; Ranks AS
One of Leading Weekly News
papers in Colorado

Today, Thursday, October 11th, is
the Grit-Advocate's birthday anniver-
sary, and with today's issue the paper
starts on it's twenty-fifth year, with
prospects bright for the future. In
cleaning the files Of the paper pub
1ished several years ago, and compar-
ing them with the Grit-Advocate of
today, one will quickly note the ma
made, coincident with the progress of
the community in which it circulates.
The publishers of the Grit-Advocate
in the early days of the papers ex-
istence must have been imbued with a
firm determination to "stick to the
ship" as there is every evidence that
the patronage in those days was of a
very scant nature. The paper used
ready-print material inside, only por-
ton containing local news, published
from a plant with but meager me-
chanical equipment. However, it was
no doubt the best the early day pub
fishers could do, and much credit is
due them for their patriotic efforts in
keeping the paper "alive" and doing
their full share in boosting Julesburg
and Sedgwick county ahead in the
early development period.
The Grit-Advocate has stayed on
the job regardless of the numerous
obstacles which confronted its's pub
fishers from year to year, and it has
been a weekly visitor to the pioneers
as we'll as the newcomers. heralding
and chronicFag the various events OF
a rapidly growing town and communi-
,ty. A "live" newspaper is one Of the
community's big assets, and to the
Grit-Advocate we believe considerable
credit is drc for the progressive
strides made by Julesburg and Sedg-
wick county AMI the adjacent terri
tory.

quent and the ground has received a
good soaking. The total precipitation
for the week as announced by the Cit
liens National Bank of this city is 1.3O
inches, and the total precipitation thus
far for the year 25.35 inches. The re-
cent rains are welcome by many far
mers, especially those who have their
wheat sown. Some have finished this
work, others have some of the wheat
in the ground, but there are quite a
number who will be delayed in getting
the fall crop planted due to the mud
dy condition of the fields. Wheat that
has been planted for several weeks is
growing fast, being in contrast to that
planted last fall, when dust covered
the ground until well into November.
The black rust which shortened the
wheat crop in this section this sum-
mer, it is said by experienced farm
ers, would never have appeared had
not the crop been unusually late. With
the start the winter wheat is getting

delayed considerably on account of
the recent rains, so what is good for

der the sliding scale contract with the

according to an announcement of the
sugar company Monday. The payment
will be made not later than October

ditional payment will amount to S123,-
269.20, the tonnage of the 1922 crop
having been 253.715.
On October 18th the company will

the 1928 crop. This payment will be
on the basis of $5.5 per ton, and will
amount to approximately S175,00O in

sliding scale contract under which the
farmers participate in the proceeds

that the final payment to the growers
in the various factory districts for the
1922 crop Of beets will amount to ap-
proximately $2,000,0O0.
One of the controlling factors of
the contract between the growers and
the company was the sugar content of
the beets as sliced in the factories, by
districts, the different sugar contents
of Colorado, Nebraska and the Billings
Lowell factories resulting in a differ
ent final total price per ton as fol-
lows:
Colorado $7.ss per ton; Nebraska
$8.01 per ton and Billings-Lovell $9.0S
per ton. The respective sugar per-
centages were 14.6O, 14.86 and 1896.
At the time of delivery of the crop
last fall, an initial payment of $500
per ton in Colorado Nebraska and
$3.50 per ton in the Billings-Lovell
districts was paid to the growers. Two
extra payments of one dollar each per
ton were made on December %, 1922
and April 2, 1928. Mondays announce
ment covered the balance of the mon-
eys due to the growers in each dis
trict for the 1922 crop.

SENIOR NOTES
Philena Frederick
Yes, the big game is over, the big
game is over today, or rather it was
over last Friday. Although again the
score was in favor Of our opposing
team, the boys surely put up good
fight and we're proud of them. But
we absolutely" require some points
on the next game they play or we're
apt to fire them and do the job our
selves. The roofing was entirely on
our side. Once in great while we
heard faint chirp from the Sterling
boosters. But we certainly wish to
recommend high spiked board fence,
as good spirit does not seem to always
prevail when it comes to paying
quarter or so to see good game. AL
so money could have been saved on
the wire put around the field, if a
small strip had been put up and some
of the boys allowed to pull it back and
forth as was done Friday. l am not
sure, but certainly the wire must sag
in places now.
The Seniors are getting all excited
but what about? Well that would be
telling.
Everyone is looking forward with
great eagerness to assembly period on
Friday morning as that time hereafter
on Fridays is to be given over to an
entertainment committee who will
plan a program in which different
students will take part.
This is the last week in the six
weeks period and therefore a week
of exams. But from observing the
zest and eagerness with which every
one entered school this fall, We are
looking for good reports on our first
periods work.
