CIRCULARS VS.. HOME
TOWN NEWSPAPERS

Did you ever pause in the Julesburg
postoffice long enough to take a
squint at the waste basket, or the
floor shortly after number of people
have received their mail? If you
have you were probably struck by the
number of circulars and form letters
and hand bills that Uttered it up. In
fact, you doubtless were struck with
the fact that many of them had been
thrown in the basket as soon as they
were removed from the envelope, the
recipient never even taking the
trouble to give them a second glance.
But did you also notice that you
don't see anyone throwing news
papers, and specially the hometown
newspaper in the waste basket or on
the floor? Did you notice that news
papers are always carried away in
stead of tossed away? Well, right
there is a mighty good argument in
form of advertising in the newspaper.
The circular letter--a costly form of
advertising--goes into the waste bas-
ket. The hometown paper goes into
the home. Remember this. and spend
your advertising money accordingly.

MEMORIAL DAY IS
GROWING NEAR

As the annual observance of decor
alton day draws near, it calls atten-
ton to the rapid decimation of the
ranks Of the boys in blue who a.
freely sacrificed to preserve the union
as did the younger lads in khaki who
responded to the call for service in
the world war. The grand army Of
the republic goes marching on in
spirit, yet there are now but one
fifth as many as thirty years ago.
and much more than half Of the local
posts of the state have gone out of
organized existence as result of the
depletion of memberships. Their
places in the perpetuation of true pa
triotism and 100 per cent American
ism are being taken by the splendid
boys of the American Legion, who
are destined to be the outstanding in
fluence for the preservation of Amer
lea as nation throughout the years
ahead, and who will acquit them
selves in civil duties equally as we'll
as did their grandfathers of the civil
war. We of the intervening period,
who had no opportunity for loyal SER
vice on the battlefield, save for a
few who served in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, are glad to accord an equal
glory to the brave deeds of our faith
ers in 1861 -65 and of our sons in the
world war Of but yesterday. The ma
ton is safe with our sons, as it was

DECORATING THE GRAVES
OF OUR VALIANT DEAD

With Memorial Day so close at hand
it is but natural that our thoughts
should revert to our Nations dead.
They died, not in new cause, but in
the old and great world-battle and
struggle of liberty and right. To the
altars of war, to the arbitrament Of
the sword, have these great issues
come in all ages and all the courage,
the devotion, the sacrifice of earth,
that of the soldier seems the great
est. He risks all, he gives all, even
to life itself for his country. That is
patriotism. And never did braver
men meet upon the field Of death
than the soldiers in blue and the sold

our valiant dead who fought that We
might live and enjoy the freedom
they brought to the nation.
Revert back to the year 1850 and
think Of the call for volunteers, Of
the hurrying to and fro. Of the fare

Of the news and battles and deaths, OF

Old Glory has been implanted in
foreign lands across the seas, and
the boys who bore the Stars and
Stripes commanded reverence and
respect for those colors under which
their forefathers fought, bled and
died.
Let us cherish their names; let us
keep green their graves; let us love
and forever guard and defend their

nobly fought and for which so many

LAND IS THE SAFEST
FORM OF SECURITY

Regardless of what you may de-
sire to invest in, land is still the
safest form of security, and there
fore the safest investment. Bad in
vestments in land may be made. but
the person who invests in it and
knows what he is buying is good
investor. Sedgwick county real es-
tate today holds out the same secur-
ity as it did in the beginning of the
county-at a higher rate Of profit.
1t was good investment in the be-
ginning; it was a good Investment
fifty years ago, twenty years ago and
ten years ago-and it's good in
vestment noW. This community is
going to grow, for it isn't made up
Of the kind of people who are willing
to forever stand still. Ten years
from now will witness changes most
Of US do not even dream of now
That's why no man should hesitate tc
invest in local real estate, or in lane
out in the county. "Ground under
foot, roof over head" is mans frs,
necessity. There is no safer form o1
security than a piece Of ground-ant

GOOD ADVICE-BUT GIVEN
TO THE WRONG PARTIES

Editors have their troubles. One of
these men who preside over the des-
tinies of a western newspaper is
mourning the loss of two subscribers.
One wrote asking how to raise his
twins safely. while the other wanted
of grasshoppers. The answers went
to know how he might rid his orchard
forward by mail, but by accident the
editor put them into the wrong envel-
opes, so that the man with the twins
received the answer:
"Cover them carefully with straw
and set fire to it, and then the little
pests, after jumping in the flames for
a few minutes, will be speedily set
tied"
And the man with the grasshoppers
was told to "give castor oil and rub
their gums with a bone"

Americans may find many things
to grumble about, but really we
should all be feeling jubilant and
proud of the situation here in the
United States where there is plenty
Of work at good wages, and that is
one of the prime requisites of con-
tentment and happiness. The labor
situation is quite the reverse in all
European countries. In England
there is now 100000 unemployed; ;
Italy has nearly a million, while tens
of thousands in idleness is the report
from Belgium, Holland, Sweden and
Norway. The generosity of more
prosperous countries are keeping alive
the idle natives of the Balkans. More
than a score of states in America re-
port an actual shortage of laborers.
Truly we are setting pretty. Let's
cut out the growing and get busy
with the work.

EditQxial
THE HOME PAPER
DESERVES YOUR SUPPORT

The local papers deserve better sup
port than they receive in many com
munities. Some have not succeeded
because of the policy or lack Of policy
of their management, but our ex-
perience convinces US that the great
majority of the home community de-
serve hearty support. The metro
politan daily will bring to ones door
step the news of the world seen
through the spectacles of the city
editor, but it is the editor who is able
to reflect the sentiment of the local
group. He alone is the true inter-
prefer of events as they affect the
small town and the country immedi-
ately surrounding it. He alone is able
to put the throb of real feeling into
the obituaries of the men and women
among whom he has spent his life and
with whom he has worked for the
improvement and advancement Of the
old home town. These local papers
deserve better support than they
generally get. Many of them have
had hard shedding during the past
number of high-paper price years
since the war period, and they have
a perfect right to come to the citizens
of their locality asking real business
support. Give it to them. If the
local paper has the proper kind Of
encouragement it can do more for
the welfare of the town and country
side than any other factor. Support
means more than merely subscribing.

vertising columns. Pretty soon you

A recent supreme court decision
permits American as well as foreign
vessels to sell liquor on board outside
of the three-mile limit. At the same
time vessels are prohibited from
bringing liquor inside that limit or
taking it out. Now if you can figure

complication, please let's have it.
