MUSICAL OPERETTA AT
HIGH SCHOOL Auditorium
SCORES A Big SUCCESS
MUCH CREDIT
DUE STUDENTS
OF HIGH SCHOOL

One of the lovliest entertainments
We have witnessed in Julesbure for
some time was the musical operetta
"The Feast of the Little Lanterns"
given last Thursday and Friday eve
nings at the Sedgwick County Hieh
School auditorium by the Girls Giee
Club, and under the direction of Mrs,
George H. Thompson.
Unusually large and apprecative
audiences greeted the production each
evening. Scenery, stage settings and
lighting effects for the operetta were
especially designed. and formed
unique background for the well train
ed chorus Of twenty-five voices. This
group of Chinese maids rendered five
separate numbers. as we'll as provid-
ing an accompaniment for the solo
parts.
Beryl Mast. as Princess Chan,
Chinese Heiress. Lois Waite as the
maid to the Princess, OPAL Etchison,
the Juggler Maid and Opal Austin,
the Governess, were well chosen for
the principal parts, and acquitted
their respective roles in a most ac-
centable manner.
One of the very pleasing numbers
on the program was the dragon
Dance" bv Villa Parker and Mary
Louise Kelsey. who cleverly portrayed
in their dance the respect the Chinese
have for the great red dragon. Little
Cretta Wise. introduced bv the Jug
g'pr maid also added to the success
Of this unique program.
No small credit is due to Mrs.
Thornnson for her untiring efforts in
the direction of the opnretta. and to
the accompanist Miss Dorothy Yer
non. as many hours Of rehearsing are
necessary for production of this ma
tue. Mr.. C. s. Deily on the drums
a1So contributed to the program.
TIL" Girls Glee Club is to be con-
graduated on the success of this en-
tertainment. and the people of Jules
burg and community will look for
ward to another production from this
organization. We have reason to feel
proud of our home talent, and every
encouraeemen should be given to
those who are interested in the musi-
cal and educational development of
our Young people.

MUCH INTEREST IS BEING
MANIFESTED THROUGHOUT
COUNTY IN CLUB WORK

Much interest is being shown by
farmers and business men throughout
the county in the children's club work
which is conducted under the super
vision of the State Agricultural Col
lege at Fort Collins.
Representatives from the college
addressed students in various parts
of the county and appointed commit
tes to secure enrolment and appoint
directors for the clubs. Two meetings
of the committee have been held and
at the last meeting such progress had
J been made and so much interest was
being shown by parents and signers
throughout the county, that it was de-
cided to get the information before
the boys and girls of the county, thru
the schools and published articles as
soon as possible.
Any boy or girl from 10 to 18 in
elusive may become member of any
of the clubs. This work has been car
ried out for number of years in vari-
GUS parts of the country and secures
unusual results in the way of educa-
ton and training of boys and girls
along practical farm lines.
Winners from the various clubs are
offered special prizes at the county
fair, trips to the State Agricultural
College, to the State live stock show,
and the international live stock show
Special arrangements have been made
with the banks of the county to hand
lie the financial end of the club work
so that it will cost the members but
very little and will yield them good
financial returns if the work is car
ried through. The following clubs are
being organized:
A calf club, which calls for the buy
ing of one calf for $1,000, plus $3.50
as protective insurance against loss
and the feeding and care Of this calf
until fall. The boy or girl handling
this work may care for as many calves
as desired. Already arrangements
have been made to secure good uni
form calves at reasonable rates so
that a carload can be handled and fed
by boys and girls in the county, to be
entered. Individually for the contest
and collectively to be sold in a car
load lot.
Last years proposition of this kind
invariably topped the market price by
4c or Sc and yielded good profits to
the boys who had conducted the work.
1t is hoped to secure not less than 25
to 30 calves to be handled. The west
end of the county has already arrang-
ed for l2 or Is and 10 or IL members
are all that are needed for the club.

MOVIE FANS ARE
APPRECIATIVE
OF GOOD PICTURES

where than in Julesburg." This

of the Hippodrome theatre after hav-
ing witnessed "If You Believe 1t, It's
So," Tom Meighan Paramount fea-
ture shown at the local theatre Tues
day and Wednesday evenings.
The management of the Hippo
drome theatre appreciates such words
Of encouragement and is glad to know
that their efforts to give the people
of Julesburg and community the best
there is in motion pictures is being
appreciated. The Hippodrome is be-
coming more popular all the while,
which is evidenced by the increased
attendance of. the past week. The
combination of high grade pictures at
the popular prices of twenty five
cents and ten cents is no doubt re-
sponsible for this satisfactory state
of affairs.

there are big features scheduled, the
same prices always prevail. Follow
ing is the program:

HOW TO PLANT
BEET SEED TO GET
BEST RESULTS

"For best results, plant not less
than one inch nor more than one and
one-half inches Deep" says A. C.
Maxson. in charge of the Great West
ern Sugar Company's experiment
farm at Longmont, Colo.
"The experiment of several years
indicates that planting beet seed less
than one inch is dangerous at any
time of the year. Likewise, planting
more than one and one-half inches is
so apt to give poor results that it is
not safe"
Telling of an experiment on the
depth of planting beet seed, Mr.. Max
son declared:"the same number of
seeds were planted "a inch deep, ~
inches deep and 2ls inches deep. In
" days the number of beets up were: /:
3-4 inches, 81 up; Y inches, 149 up;
21k inches, Sc up.
"In practice from l to Y inches
give the best results"
Comparing hens egg and develop
ment of the chick with the seed of a
plant and development of the young
beet plant, Mr.. Maxson stated: "The
hons egg contains all of the neces-
sary material to form a chicken and
to noursh it for about 3 days after
it breaks from the egg. However. un-
less the egg is subjected to the proper
temperature, and the moisture condi-
tions are right, no chicken will be pro-
duced.
Likewise, seed contains all of the
material to produce plant and to
nourish it for certain length of
time. Yet. if the seed is not sub
jected to the proper temperature and
moisture conditions, no plant comes
forth When the proper temperature
and moisture conditions surround the
seed. the young beet begins to feed
upon the stored food in the seed. AS
the young beet grows it breaks the
seed oats. The root develops first
and pushes downward into the soil.
The leaves begin to push upward
toward the surface shortly after. All
this time the growth of the young
beet is made from the food stored in
the seed. The amount of food stored
in the seed will last from four to six
days. AS the young beet cannot make
use of the plant food in the soil before
it reaches the surface and the first
leaves become green. it is readily seen
that the young plant must reach the
surface before the food stored in the
seed is exhausted.
"If the seed is planted too deep it
NAV not contain sufficient food to
duce plant long enough to reach the
surface. If planted too shallow the
drying of the surface soil may deprive
the young plant of the necessary
moisture"

BETTER CREDIT FACILITIES
ARE BEING PROVIDED FOR
AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY
CREDIT BANKS
BEING CREATED
| UNDER NEWLAW

Better credit facilities for farmers
are being provided by the government
for the benefit of the agricultural in
dustry under the terms of a law
passed during the closing days Of the
recent session of Congress. The most
important part of the new enactment
is that which creates intermediate
credit banks, to be conducted under
the direction Of the Federal Farm
Loan Board. the same board which has
charge of the land banks. The credit
banks are separate and distinct from
the land banks, though they will be
located in the same twelve cities and
serve the same territory as the twelve
distinct land banks.
These credit banks are being
started with capital stock of $5,0O0,-
900 each. subscribed by the Uuited
States Treasury and to be owned by
the Treasury permanently. This
will provide total working capital of
$50. 900 900. The loaning power of
the banks is fixed at 5000, 900, 900, in
! addition to the $6O.000,00O capital.
\ This is a big sum. more money, in
fact, than the War Finance Corp
was called upon to advance as emer-
gency aid to the agricultural indus
stry. The new system is permanent
spart of the federal banking machinery
J and it is so planned that loans can be
made on crops or livestock with a
maturity varying from six months to
Athree years. This is one of the i'm
:portant features of the law, namely
athe time of maturity Of loans, which
Sis fixed in accordance with farm turn
lover and not on a commercial basis.
VI Credit legislation was put through
sas compromise. at the last minute
ssand under pressure of the farm bloc
in Congress. There were three mea-
sssures up which had to do with financ-
ling the farmer One was the Len
root Anderson bill embodying many of
/ the suggestions made by the Agrlcul-
tural Inquiry Commission: another
was the Capper bill, providing for the
.creation of private farm financing
corporations under federal supervis-
( ION and the third. known as the
Strong bill, contained among other
things, an amendment to the Federal
Farm Loan law. raising the limit of
sindividual loans on land mortgages
Sfrom $4,000 to $25,000.
!, The combination bill retains this
feature of the Strong bill, so that
Federal Land Banks now may lend as
much as $25,OO0 to one individual.
This provision was not altogether
5favorably considered in the West, be-
cause the land banks have been of
kreatest service irthis region to the
small farm owner. 1t was feared that
An increase in the loan limit would

In the pig club arrangements have
been made through the banks to care
for the purchase of weaned pigs.
Members of this club may enter the
fattenng or breeding contest. In the
fattening contest high grade hog,
preferably pure bred, is fattened for
market. In the breeding contest, a
pure bred sow is kept for two years
and the second year raise litter. In
dividuas may handle one or more
pigs. 1t would be advisable if the club
is organized, to get enough pigs to
. 'rske',np car load or at least 35 in
the county.
The chicken club requires an indi-
v'dnal to take pure bred fouls of any
kind starting with so eggs or hatched
chicks and maturing at least 30
The dairy club contest, testing of
milk only, calls for accurate records
kept upon the percentage of butter fat
on any herd of any type and can be
conducted equally well on dry land
herds or irrigated herds as the amount
of butter fat or amount of milk yield
ed has nothing to do with the club
work.
The course is conducted with the
idea of training pupils to test and
check dairy herds.
In the potato club contest, individ-
uals must care for one-half acre of
some standard variety of potato. In
the beet club members must care for
an acre of beets selected from a field
and expenses pro-rate. In the corn
club members must care for one acre
of corn and use registered seed. A
distinction is made between dry land
and irrigated corn. In the garden
club members must care for one-tenth
of an acre of garden obtaining the
highest price for things raised. Where
the products from the garden are used
in the home, schedule of prices
m1'st be followed. In all these clubs,
individuals must keep accurate records
showing the actual cost, rent, labor,
etc that is put upon the project,
which teaches splendid business meth
ods.
Club work similar in character to
above is also offered in Sewing, Can
ming, Cooking and Food.
1t is hoped to have special leaders
from the Agricultural College to take
charge of the work until well organ
lied. Teachers and parents through
out the county are urged to cooperate
with possible members of the various
clubs. Watch the paper for special

STRANGE TALES RELATED OF GERMAN EXCHANGE
Forty Box Cars Would Be Required to Haul St Worth of One
 Mark Notes

New York. Dec. 21.--The sharp de- nreciation in Berlin exchange 10 the point where one cent in American money will buy several billion Ger man marks has given rise to several fanciful stories in Wall Street, and to many interesting mathematical cal oulations.
 One of the latest stories, credited to an American consular officer in Bel gium. relates how shortly after the armistice the Belgian government, in an apparent effort to acquire sufficient marks to influence, if necessary. the German exchange situation, decided 10 redeem all the German currency then circulating in Belgium. It is said to have expected to acquire six billion marks in this manner but the favorable rate Of exchange offered in- duced considerable speculation by Belgians who purchased marks in Germany and sold them at profit in their own country, so that several more billions were actually acquired.
 Thees marks are said to have been stored in a large warehouse and guard placed over them. necessitating an annual outloy Of 6o,0o0 to S0,0o0 Belgian francs, besides the loss of in- terest. So great has been the depre- citation in marks that the Belgian treasure" which is said still to be under guard, is valued at less than sl in American money at the present rate of exchange.
 Another story, which illustrates the extent of depreciation, says that 40 box cars would be needed to haul s1 worth Of one mark notes at the pres cnt rate Of exchange.
