WESLEY JOHNSON PASSED
AWAY THURSDAY, JAN. 24
Wesley Johnson was born May 6th,
1825 in Wayne county, Ohio. He mov
el from there to Clay county, Mis
souri in 1838, and from there to Har
rison county, Mo. in 1844, where he
was married and resided for 48 years.
He moved from Missouri to Cunning
ham, Kansas. He was a member of
the Grand Army and went to the
National Soldiers’ home. In 1909 he
came to Julesburg and made his home
with his oldest son, Francis M. John
son until the time of his death, which
occurred in this city Thursday, Jan.
24th, 1918. |
The deceased was married to Mar
tha Lee Tilley Nov. 28, 1852, and she?
died Dec. 28, 1853, leaving one child
6 weeks old. On Jan. 16, 1855, he
was married to Mary Blessing, and to
them were born 8 children, four boys‘
and four girls, making a total of 9
children in his family. Four sons and
two daughters are living. They are
as follows: F. M. Johneon, Julesburg;
A. J. Johnson, Bethany, Mo.; Seigel
Johnson, Akron, Colo.; Chas. Johnson,
address not known; Elizabeth McCray,
Cunningham, Kan.; Mrs. Jane Ward,
Chappell.
The deceased was a believer in God
and died in an everliving faith of the
atoning blood of Jesus Christ, the Son
of God. The deceased was aged 92
years, 8 months and 18 days at the
time of death. Funeral services were
eonducted from the home of his son in
this city last Thursday afternoon at
two o’clock by Rev. W. T. Gatley, pas
tor of the M. E. church, and interment
made in Hillside cemetery. The Grit-
Advocate extends sympathy to the be
reaved relatives, in this, their hour
of sadness.
An announcement made in last Mon
day’s Sterling Evening Advocate is to
the effect that the ownership and con
trol of that splendid paper has been
affected, and that John J. Woodring,
Charlie E. Hayne and Roy G. Fergu
son have purchased the majority of
the shares of stock from J. C. Scott,
who has been in control of the publi
cations issued by the Aldvocate Pub
lishing company for the past several
montts. However, Mr. Scott retains
ownership of a portion of the stock,
but Mr. Woodring. will continue in the
capacity of manager, and will exercise
complete control.

LARGE ATTENDANCE NOTICE
ABLE AT NOON LUNCHEON
All that was lacking in attendance
last week at the Noon-day luncheon,
at the Brown Hotel, was made up for
|nt yesterday's gathering, there being
a large attendance at yesterday’s
luncheon, and along with a sumptu
ous meal, served by Mrs. Trena Young, |
a very interesting session was the re- |
sult. l
Chairman Parker opened the alter-i
dinner discussion by calling on J. C.
Wiagner for a report of the Thrift
and War-Savings Stamp committee,
Mr. Wagner made a short talk, ex
plaining thoroughly the plan and urg
ed all present to lend their coopera
tion in creating a demand for the sale
‘of the War-Savings stamps. He stat- ‘
ed that the committee had not as ye':1
formulated any definite plan for in-‘
creasing the sale of the stamps in
this community, but that the commit- ]
tee would be glad to receive the as
sistance of all in furthering the suc
cessful campaign of this war rclief
work.
The mastter of an ice plant was‘
again discussed, the committee on this
proposition having not as yet receiv- |
ed definite quotations from the man-.
ufacturers as to the approximate cost
of installing such an enterprise in our
city. In connection with this there
seemed to be some opposition of tak
ing this matter up further at this time
on account of the fact that the govern
ment was at this time using every ef
fort to conserve the supply of ammon
ia, which in the event of the estab
lishment of an ice plant that would
supply the whole community, would
necessarily involve the use of ammonia
in the manufacture of artificial ice.
After some discussion the matter was
referred back to the committee to in
ivestigste the situation, and make a
report at next week’s gathering.
| Dr. Nusbaum, who is engaged in
i conducting a series of evangelistic
!meetings at the Methodist church in
Julesburg, was present, and made a
splendid talk which was indeed ap
preciated by everyone present. Dr.
Nusbaum complimented the progress
lshown by our citizens in reference to
the weekly noon-day luncheons and
| his remarks were along community
| welfare lines—it being an inspiration
{to all of his listeners. Those who
| were so unfortunate as not to be pres
|ent at yesterday’s luncheon missed a
| rare treat.
‘ Chairman Parker in behalf of the
| business men, extended to Dr. Nus
|baum and Singer Newman a hearty
i welcome to be present at the weekly
| luncheons during their stay in Jules
{burg.
| The time having arrived for ad
| journment, other subjects were laid
;over until next week.
! NOTICE
| Please call and settle your accounts.
| Then if vou do not appreciate favors,
!please do not call us, as we would
| rather spend our time in serving those
| who pay. Yours truly,
| DRS. COOK & DUTTON.

JULESBURG GRIT-ADVOCATE
SECRETARY BAKER SAYS SOL
DIERS ARE FIT FOR SERVICE
Washington, D. C.—France and
Great Britain, Secr tiry of War Bak
er said Monday, are supplying artill
ery equipment to ‘American forces ir
France, because they wished to save
the use of ships for the more vital
Thirty-two divisions of the Nation
al Guard and National Army troops
are in cagp in the United States,
where they undergone vigorous train
ing.
More than a million men in all are
considerdd ready to join the Ameri
can troops already over the seas; they
are fit for service and ready to move
whenever it is considered that the
proper time arrives.
| Every American soldier who can
use a rifle has been provided with
| one, Secretary Baker told the sena
| tors and at the rate of present man
iubct.m, all troops will be supplied
|as rapidly as they are ready for
arms.
Declaring that “every man in thir
ty-two national guard and national
army camps in the United States is
‘ready to be sent to France whenever
needed,” Secretary Baker last Monday
replied to his critics before congress.
He said that General Pershing him
self had approved the adoption of the
modified Enfield rifle and that the
great army was called before guns
were ready for it on the recommenda
tion of Major General Wood.
He declared that every man in
France had been supplied with rifles
and that there were many times more
American soldiers in France at this
COUNTY AGRICULTURAL AGT.
DOES PIG CLUB WORK
Pig club work is being taken up
this week by the County Agricultural
Agent, W. J. Ott. The work is being
explained to pupils in several schools
over the county, and a great interest
is being shown by the students.
Any boy or girl between the ages
of 10 and 18 years, who is willing to
put in some spare time this summer,
is eligible to join one of thete clubs.
Free instructions are sent out from
the State Club Leader regular to each
member.
The members must feed and care
for his own pig, must keep careful
record of cost of pig; cost of feed, the
age of pig and where possible to in
crease in weight. At the end of sea
son he must write an essay on “How
I Raised My Pig.” If it is not possi
ble to, for a member to exhibit his
pig at the fair, he must send a photo
graph of the pig with the records.
PATRIOTIC COLORADO CITI
ZENS, help your state by using more

Pinto Bean crop was raised last year
and seventy-five per cent of them are
still in the farmer’s hands at the pres
‘ent time.
~ Pinto beans are the cheapect and
'most realistic meat substitute.

'to nwvy or lima beans.
~ Pinto beans are 256 to 50 per cent
cheaper than other beans.
Pinto beans are unequalled in fla
vor and palatability. |

EARLIER CLOSING HOURS l
There is considerable talk nmongl
the business men of Julesburg to en- |
‘ ter into an agreement with each other |
|to close their places of business atl
| earlier hours on week days with the
exception of Saturdays. There is a|
nation-wide movement that business |
establishments observe earlier closing |
hours during the present war crisis, |
and we believe this would be an ex- |
cellent plan for the merchants of this |
city to adopt. |
There will be many benefits deriv- |
| ed by the adoption of the earlier clos- |
| ing plan, and we believe the patrons |
) of the various business establishments |
| in our city will give their hearty co-[
| operation in this matter, and do their |
shopping earlier. It will be necessary |
that all of the business honses mu-i
tually agree to adopt the early clos- !
ing plan, and each one strictly com- |
ply with the rule, in fairness to his |
competitor. Many other towns are|
I observing earlier closing hours during |
[the week days except Saturday, and |
the plan is meeting with success. ‘
Aside from the benefits derived by |
the business men and employees ini
normal times in the matter of shorter
hours, there is another important |
phase of the proposition—that of as-“
sisting the government during the |
present war crisis to conserve light |
and heat for the conservation of fuel. |
We hope to see the merchants of {
Julesburg adopt the earlier closing |
hours in the near future. Who will |
start the ball to rolling? |

FOOD ADMINISTRATION
ISSUES NEW REGULATIONS
The Food Administration has issued
an order which is a radical change,
namely that consumers be required,
when purchasing wheat products, to
buy an equal quantity of other grains
or cereals. This fifty-fifty arrange
ment is proposed to make more cer
tain the conservation of wheat by sub
stitution of the other cereal products
The best flours to buy for this pur
pose are rye flour, emmer flour and
barley flour. However, the substi
tutes for wheat flour are corn, emmer,
barley, rye, rice and potato flours,
soya bean meal and catmeal. Graham
and whole wheat flour are not substi
tutes. The new order simply means
that when the consumer purchases a
sack of flour he must also purchase
an equal quantity of a substitute for |
wheat flour.
There are now two wheatless days
instead of one, these days being Mon
day and Wednesday. The Food Ad
ministration advises County Food Ad
ministrator that there is no occasion.
whatever, for alarm on account of the
sapply of food. The requirements
for shipping abroad are increasing,
‘which necessitates increased saving
on our part. s
; We are pleased that so many are
‘taking advantage of the splendid ly
ceum numbers that we are having
this year. A large attendance at the
Venetians next Saturday night will
help wonderfully towards the expense
of the course. We are quite sure that
this musical program will be one of
the best of the whole course. Remem
ber that it is the last number.
The Senior Domestic Science girls
are making plans for the Mother’s
Tuncheon which will be given soon.
One of the Chapel periods last week
was used by Mr. Young in talking
about the War Savings.Stamps. A
representative was chosen from each
class to solicit from his group. Some
stamps have been sold. We hope the
high school students will show the
same good spirit in this that has been
shown by the grade school.
Dr. Nusbaum, the evangelist, con
ducting meetings at the Methodist
church, is scheduled for an Assembly
talk this week. y
