RURAL CREDITS
The Part Played by the Credit
- Manipulators Constitutes
| Safe Investment
By amortization is meant the
gradual payifig off of a debt by
regular payments so calculated as
to include interest and principal.
The payments may be of the
same amount throughout the
whole time of payment, in which
case it is event that of each suc
cessive payment a smalleramount
is applied as interest and a cor
respondingly larger amount goes
to the payment of principal, or
the payments may be gradually
diminished as the interest de
creased. .
The building and loan associat
ions are conducted on the former
plan. A sinking fund is gradual-}
1y created from which the origin
al loan is finally paid.
The advantage of amortization
is that it enables the borrower toi‘
extend his time of pavment over|
a longer period, with frequent |
isnmll pavments. 1
The Raiffeisen system, which |
‘takes its name from the man who
‘introduced it in Germany about |

system of credit based upon coop- |
‘erations all have the same object

|husim-ss with the aim to make
profits, effect economies, and
further theinterest of the associ
:ut(-s. They differ as to the best
'method to be adopted to attain
;those objects.
~ In considering the subject of
;«-rm]wmting it is important at the
’smrt to free our minds of certain |
misconceptions which are widely
iprevulent as to their nature.
- Cooperativeassociations are not |
benevolent societies; they are not |
based on charity ‘‘to be mutually |
bestowed and shared or to be
spoonfed by the government or/
philanthropists to feeble people.”
They may or may not be inspir- |
ed by brotherly love, but they are
held together by the desire or|
need to gain or save. Their met
hods and purposes are strictly bus
iness-like. The most successful
‘cooperative enterprises have been
‘those whose members relied upon b
‘themselves and have been strong!

START PRELIMINARIES
|Last Week Work Started For a
Two or Three Day Base
ball and Race Mest.
| In view of the fact that on two
previous occasions meetings were‘
|to be held to get the Annual Fair
in motion, a quorum could not be
|obtained for some reason.
1 Tt became apparent that little
interest was manifested by those
who should have taken part and
|seen the undertaking through to
a successful finish. The time
|getting rather short for a full
fledged fair, it was suggested by
|several to have a Race and Base
|ball meet of two or three days.
The idea took with the majority
who were invited to share their
|opinions on the matter and as a
dresult a committee started to
work last Saturday.
The paper called for a release
|of some funds which were on hand
| from last year's celebration and a
|renewal of their last year’s pledge
inf subscription. It was demon
;strated that our people wanted
something in the way of amuse
ment and advertising for Jules-|
|burg and Sedgwick county by thel
way the paper was signed.
| Inatalk with Superiitendent
Cullen, of the Great \\'osternl
Sugar Co., for this county we
' learned that from present indi(-u-'
tions the harvest in the beet fields
would commence early this )'ezll','
possibly by the 20th of S(-ptem-|
ber, so our Race and Baseball
meet will be staged before that
Ctime as it will tend to give us a
“much larger patronage.
| The proposition is something
that the farmers, business men
and merchants of the county
'<hould get behind and push for
it will give a certain amount of]
|advertising to the county that vunl
‘be had in no other way. It will
'“show ‘em’’ that there is mm-!
munity co-operation still in the
[hearts of the people of Sedgwick
county.
| you want to help in this ef
fort to have a successful meet,
lend your assistance to the com
mittee now worksng on the prop
osition of a ‘‘Big Meet for Sedg
ywick County.”’ |
To Remain in Julesburg.
| After the change of ownvrship|
;”f the Grit last Monday I want to
inform all our friends that we
[intend to continue as residents of
(Julesburg. The office of The
{ Julesburg Irrigation District will
|still be continued here at the (;ritl
iutfice and I will be here any (lu_\'|
{in the week as it is my intention
Eto help the present management

FROM OSHKOSH
| We Clip This From Last Week's
Oshkosh Herald. It is Ex
planatory in Itself.
The Kids certainly met their
Waterloo, Sunday, when they
| tackled the Julesburg ball team.
’The game was decidedly too tame
'to beinteresting. * Julesburg tried
out a negro pictcher the first in
ning but he just lasted one inning
during which Ed Cain found him
for a home run with the basses
full. A good deal of the trouble
was caused by a certain amount
of wildness on the part of the
Oshkosh pitcher, John Roude
'hush. But the main trouble
seemed to be that as this is the
first real fast teain the boys have
been up against this year they
were more or less scared, just
plain” stage fright. The score
‘was 18 to 6.
We understand that a return
game will be played soon in which
the home boys intend to spike up
considerably which they had
ought to have thought of before
this time.
Oshkosh and Julesburg are to
meet at Riverside ball park next
Sunday. Don’t fail to come out
and see Julesburg win.
Announcement
To the Patrons of the Grit-Ad
vocate:—Finding that my time
is entirely taken up with other
work I find it to the best inter
ests of ail concerned to sell the
Grit-Advocate and have sold the
same to Messrs. McDowell and
‘Redtern. Mr. McDowell needs
no introduction to Julesburg, as
he was the capable manager of
this paper for some time. Mr.
Redfern comes as a new man to
the community, but we have no
doubt that he will find his work
and living here as pleasant as we
who have had the pleasure of
having Julesburg as our home.
In severing our business rela
tions with the paper. we do so
with many feelings of regret and
only hope that our new connec
tions will be as pleasant as those
have heen in Julesburg.
We bespeak for the new m:m-‘
agement the hearty ('<-0p9ralli(7l||
that has been accordel us in the
past. \
We are not leaving Julesburg,
at the present at least, for the
family will remain here and we
shall cail it home and in all|
probability from time to time|
the citizens will have to be un-|
der the painful necessity of hav- |
ing us with them for a few days
at a time. 5
We are not saying good bye,
but simply aurevor. Respecttul-
Iy, R. J. DOBELL.

INDUSTRY PROSPEROUS
New Harvest Sceme in North
east Colorado Causes Won
derment to Many.
When the threshers have fin
ished their work, within a fow
days, the beet sugar industry of
Colorado will probably find itself
wholly independent of foreign
!lancls for its beet seed and with
{& supply far better than that
heretofore received from Ger
many. If the supply from the
harvest isn’t quite sufficient to
meet the demands for the next
season, it is certain to be in an
other vear.
Throughout northeast Colora
do a new harvest scene greets
the eve of the traveler. Here
and there shocks of deep brown
color cause the resident as well
as the visitor to wonder and ask
where they are. Itis a new
sight and few persons who have
not seen these dark shocks be.
fore know what they are. They
;'epresont the beet seed harvest.
The Great Western Sugar com
pany has heen experimenting in
the growth of its own beet seed.
And it has been successful. Tt
has been successful in two ways,
namely in raising sufficient seed
to meet the demands of the in
dustry and in producing seed
better than that the American
industry has been dependent on
heretofore.
It requires two years to devel
op the seed and this year the
harvest will go abobt 1,200 to
1,300 pounds to the acre. The
Sterling sugar factory set out
530 acres in its immediate ter
ritory, and the Great Western
factories elsewhere in northeast
Colorado have been doing their
share. It requires ahout four
teen pounds of seed to the acre
for the distribution among the
growers of sugar beets, and it
therefore remains for the re
turns on the threshing to deter
mine whether enough seed has
been raised to fill the needs of
the sugar beet growers next sea
son. However, there is some
home grown seed left from last
year and this added to the new
crop may make sufficientsupply.
Last year a small quantity of
home grown seed was allowed a
number of growers in addition
to the regular supply brought
from Germany. In every in
stance the grocers declared that
the home grown seed proved
better than the imported and
‘the tests at the factories proved
ilhv home-grown product pro
duced greater tonnage and a
;highor content of sugar. And
turther than this, the company
has found what is believed to he
something better as a seed pro
ducer in a beet known as the red
top.
