For Democracy and Humanity. The dogan and challenge of today is cooperation for the purpose of making the “World Safe for Democracy” and winning the war in the interest of humanity. In order to do that all our citizens must work together in unity with that one dominant purpose in view. WE ARE DOING IT NOW. Men are more ready to give of themselves in service for the great cause for which we fight than ever before in the history of the world. They are willing to pay the price even if it means the giving of their physical lives as a sacrifice, in the full knowledge that the value thus gained for all human kind will be worth so great a price. “Can a man do more than give his life for his friends?” s When the world is made safe for democracy it will be safe for the uni versal society of friendly, and brother- | ly men. Then, and not until then, can we begin to build in earnest the King. dom of God. Thus the question upper- | most in the minds of all thinking men and women, is WHAT PART WILL THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST —THE CHRISTIANS—HAVE IN | THE WORK OF BRINGING IN THIS | REIGN OF BROTHERHOOD? Will the church lag behind in this move ment and let forces outside of her in fluence, take the credit for the begin ning of the “NEW ORDER,” or will she, THE CHURCH_ prove worthy of the task the Master and her Founder zave ber, by taking the lead and set-' ting an example of real brotherhood for the world? Will the men and wo men of all denominations prove big enough for the job that is before them? Will they catch thé vision and spirit of the Master of brotherhood in | such away, that they will be willing to forget their differences in creed, and co-operate at home for that great | purpose, as the boys “Over There” are forgetting their social and creedal dif- | ferences while they fight.side hy side and give their lives in order that hu. ! manity might realize God's Ideal of '@ democracy and brotherhood for the, world, Did you know friend reader that ' such a movement as Church Federa- ' tion is on in the world today? Did you know that many communities are real- | izing that ideal and are organizing |’ into Community Churches for the pur pose of conservation and efficiency ? Did you know that we have a move ment on in the town of Julesburg te Federate the churches into a Commu nity Church? Such is the fact: it is! true. We had a man with us on last Sunday, Dr. Trompen. who is one of a committee for Colorado on eliminating over-churched conditions and pply ing under churched conditions. This |- committee is composed of leading men ' from the ten representative denomina tions of the state. These denomina tions, including the Presbyterians. | Christians, Baptists, Methodists and Congregationalists, have solemnly nledged themselves, in the interest of their eemmon cause to refrain frem organizing churches where the terri- . tory is already sufficiently churched or overchurched, and under no circum stances can they sanction the organi-. zation of a church and give it recog nition as a body unless the church de siring to come in has the sanction of said committee_ and the churches al ready in the ficld and at work. This working committee is just the begin- | ning of better things to come. For this same committee with the sanc- | tion of their respective denomination all leaders are advising the churches of all small towns to merge into one Community Church, with the idea of putting on a program of service for the community that will take into con sideration and include the needs of the whole man, physical, mental, mor al and spiritual. The dream for Julesburg is just such : 2 plan and just such a Community Church co-operating all-together for thé one great purpose of helping every man, woman, boy and girl realize the kind of character that God intended they should have. Will you help by : vour influence to bring this to pass? ' You can do it if you will. Plans have already been suggested to us by Dr. Trompen for such a Com munity Church. This church will op- - en its doors wide enough to include every man, woman and child in the . community, regardless of the kind of creed they have for themselves. Ev ‘ery person will be allowed the privi lege of reading their Bible and mak ing their own creed under the guidance ‘of the Infinite Spirit. No person has a right to force their creed on an other's conscience, nor will that be the case in the new CHURCH—The church of Tomorrow. We will tell you more . about this plan next week. Look for (it in the Grit-Advocate. j W. P. NAPIER. | NEWS NOTES FROM COUNTY AGENT By WALTER J.

This objection has been placed | ' in the background by a Sedgwick| county farmer. Victor Johnson_ living -south of Julesburg, who is filling his ' 100-ton silo this fall with no more hands than are regularly employed on - the ranch during the summer, and - with a small investment in machinery. He is using a small cutter with all the equipments and adjustments of a ~larger machine. It has a capacity of ' six to eight tone per hour, and can be pulled with his Ford car, thus doing away with the expense of extra pow er machinery. Mr. Johnson is filling his silo now, when time permits, as haying and oth er seasonable farm jobs require some attention. Silo filling of this kind | will enable one to get considerable 1 more tonnage stored, as it gives more time for settling, and at the same time the labor can all be done with the usu- ' (al farm help. Mr. Johnson expects [to silo all his coarse roughage this i vear, as he has equipment for hand-' (ling it, and siloing saves him 40 to 45, per cent of the food value of his feed over and above the old methods of, feeding.

K. Heer | wagen of the Colorado Agricultural | College. *“The reasons are: The far ther along corn is allowed to mature, the more pounds of dry matter the crop yields. In addition to this, the most economical and the most palat able feed is obtained at this stage. The processes which the silage un dergoes when placed in the silo should be clearly understood in order that the reasons for various precautions may be evident. Silage is subject to two fermentation nrocesses, One is harm ful fermentation which brings about the decay and moldy condition of si lage. The other is the beneficial fer mentation, and it is upon this fermen tation that the keeping quality of si lage depends. This process holds or nrevents the other process from going forward, and so the importance of fa cilitating in every wav this beneficial fermentation can readily be seen. Now, this necessary fermentation consists in +breaking up the sugars into acids, mainly lactic acid, which is found in ' sour milk. and the dissociation of the proteins. These processes are accom ' plished by microscopic organisms. This ~accumulation of acid inhibits further acid production from the remaining ‘sugars and also inhibits decomposition by the harmful fermentation organ isms. The silage stays in this condi tion as long as the air is excluded. On filling the silo it is often neces =ary to wet the ensilage if it is too dry. This step is to enable the silage to be more densely packed, which ig not conducive to the undesir able fermentation, as the air is elimi nated. Another precaution to be observed in silage making is to keep one or more men inside the silo to keep the ensilage evenly distributed and well packed down, especially round all the 'sides, The silage must be well pack : ed, and as it tends to stick to the sides, it must especially be pack around the ‘edzes; in the middle its own weight is“ordinarily sufficient to make it com pact enough to shut out the air. " About one foot in depth should be allowed for the top layer. Much care should be taken that it is very com pact and sufficiently moistened as this top impervious layer has the same function as does a layer of paraffine on a glass of jellv. A very good prac tice is to sow oats or rye on the top, this quickly forming a thick mat. % Charles Shaeffer, labor.______ 7.20 Vincent Dye, labor . ____ _ 7.20 Vernon Beaman_ labor. ______ 5.00 Wayne Thurlow, labor . _____ 2.60 Sunt. Bush réported his investiga tions on machinery to use in dredging ditches and presented cuts of engines and scrapers which he thought would answer the purpose. After some dis cussion Mr. Bush was asked to con tinue his investigations and report at the next meeting of the board. G. E. Hendricks appeared before the Board and asked for an adjustment of cereaze on his land known as the Eas tin property just west of the Town of Julesburg.
