RED CROSS
HEALTH CENTER

There is a marked and ever widen
ing interest alon" health lines in rural
communities as we'll as in towns and
cities of the state. In many localities
county commissioners and other pub
lie officials, social and health workers
are joining with doctors and dentists,
thereby doing much to improve the
health of the residents. This is true
of Sedgwick county, also the growing
interest in the child's health and den-
tai clinics is evidenced by the large
number of parents who take advan-
tage of these opportunities.
Tuesday of this week many mothers
brought their babies and pre-school
age children to the welfare conference
conducted at the local Red Cross
Health Center by DIR. Rook.
Wednesday, July 11th, at 300 P. M,
another dental clinic will be held for
children up to the 5th grade and the
next Child Welfare Conference will be
on Wednesday, July 18th, at the same
hour. Visitors are always welcome.
Every Saturday from 900 A. M. to
500 P. M. all children may be weighed
at the Health Center. AS many as
forty-five came for this purpose last
Saturday.

PROGRAM FULL
OF PLEASING
ENTERTAINMENT
Baseball Game Between Crook
And Julesburg Creates Much
Interest, Crook Defeating Lo-
cal Team In Good Game BY
the Score of 6 to 3
Hats off to Ovid!


The citizens of our sister town did
things cup brown" Wednesday in
staging a Fourth of July celebration,
which was attended by a large crowd.
Ovid was all set for the occasion with
numerous entertainment features on
the program, including various races
and novelty stunts, baseball game,
broncho busting, etc., the days fes-
tivities being wound up with big
dance in the Fellers & Shields store
building in the evening, music being
furnished by the Harmony -Four or
chestra. The Crook Concert Band
was on the job during the day and en-
tertained the crowd with an abund-
ance of music.
The baseball game in the afternoon
between Crook and Julesburg created
considerable interest, one of the larg-
est crowds ever attending a baseball
game in this section being in attend
Apfe. Although this game was only
th1 second game for the local team
this season, the boys put up good
game, the score being to 3 in favor
Of Crook. Timely hitting when hits
meant runs was responsible for
Crook taking the long enc of the
score.
A large crowd remained in Ovid
for the dance in the evening. The
citizens Of Ovid are to be commended
for their celebration and the enter
tainment afforded their visitors.

MANY TOURISTS
PASSING THROUGH
Pr THIS CITY DAILY

Tourists are passing through Jules
burg these days in large numbers, the
license plates noting cars from prac-
tically every state in the Union, and
the large share of them are bound for
the Rockies. Every night a number
of cars are parked at the camp
grounds here. Camp fires are in evi-
dence, where the family from Mime
sofa swaps stories with those from
Ohio, New York, Florida, or some
other commonwealth, and incidents
are related relative to the trip they
are enjoying. Have you ever visited
the camp ground to learn who was
paying Julesburg visit? The citi-
zens Of Julesburg are noted for their
hospitality in most respects, but we
venture to say that there have been
only few of you who have gone to
the camp grounds and extended the
tourists a welcome to our city. We
know of no other method by which
Julesburg could receive more effective
advertising than by personal visits Of
our citizens to the camp grounds and
becoming acquainted with the visit
ors. Not bad suggestion is it?
Think it over

FEWER FARMS
BEING OPERATED
THIS SEASON

The movement of people away from
the farms in Colorado has more than
equaled the movement of people from
other states and from Colorado cities
to the farms in the past twelve
months. for the first time in many
years. Reports of county assessors to
the State Immigration Department
show that fewer farms are being op-
Grated in the state this year than last
year and nerhaps fewer than were op-
Grated in 1921.
The decrease in farm population in
this state since the 1920 census is not
nearly so great as surveys made by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
indicate it has been in older agricul-
tural states. Until this year this
movement has been fully counteracted
by an influx of people from other
states to occupy Colorado farms. In
the past twelve months, however, the
movement of settlers to Colorado has
been very light. while the movement
awaV from Colorado farms has been
heavier than for several years. This
movement away from the farms has
apparently been due to the same caus-
es that brought it about in older agri-
what by unfavorable crop conditions
in some parts of Colorado. The pric-
as of farm products have remained
low, while wages in the cities have
in many cases been increased substan-
TALLY in the past year and in no case
have they been reduced since 1919 in
the same proportion as the prices of
farm products have been reduced.
Complete reports from 1s counties
show 12,768 farms reported as being
farmed this year, compared with l3-
543 farms reported in the same coun-
ties last year, decrease of IT'S or
ST per cent. If the decrease prevails
at the same rate for all counties it
will show 5000 fewer farms being op-
Grated in the state this year than last
year
The decrease is heaviest in the non
irrigated districts of eastern Colorado.
especially where the season was un-
favorable for crop production last
year. In the southeast part of the
state temporary abandonment of non-
irrigated farms has been especially
heavy. though not nearly so heavy as
following previous periods of unfav-
orable weather. When it is under
stood that this temporary aband-
onment of farms is largely due to
financial conditions that have had a
similar effect in all sections of the
country it appears that even the most
severe drought that ever visits the
state will not again cause the same
exodus of farmers as was caused by
the droughts of 1911 and 1912 and
the equally severe drOughts of 1898
and 1894. 1t is also worthy of note
been temporarily abandoned had new
of livestock. poultry or dairy products.

OWNING AN AUTO
THESE DAYS IS
MUCH DIFFERENT

A few wears ago owning an auto
was something like joining, a lodge.
All men wearing the emblem were
brothers, to be helped in time OF
trouble and to be called upon when a
friendly turn was needed. IN those
happy. days when one motorlst met
another with a stalled machine. 1t
was the proper thing to do to stop,
help change tire, get spark to the
dead engine or fool with the carbur-
etor to make her run again. NOW the
average motorist casts more or less
pityinp and contemptuous glance at
the man who is stalled-and goes on
about his business.
Several things have conspired to
hiring about this change in attitude.
In the old days when it took money to
buv and operate an automobile, only
the exclusive and responsible few
had them. Today everybody has
them. Again, when responsible .peo-
nile exclusively were running them,
the passerby ran no chances when he
offered assistance. Today when he
picks up a pedestrian or stalled motor
ist he NAV find large, injurious wea-
non pointed his way and hear the
command to get out and walk. or to
hand over such valuables as he may
hanpen to have in his pockets.
The next time your machine stalls
along the road and a party of inso-
lently and maliciously drives past
without offering you any assistance,
it NAV temper the blow somewhat. to
remember that he is afraid Of being

Grated now it is every fellow TOR

are easy keepers and good doers, and
bring the top prices when finished.
