. A definite program for the five days
has not yet been received, but will be
‘announced in the near future through
these columns. ‘However, Redpath-
Horner assures the local committee
that some very high-class talent will
be seen on the platform here. We are
jnformed that the feature attraction
will be the play “Friendly Enemies,”
presented by an all-star cast. Those
who have heretofore seen this play
ylgvouch for it being one of the best.
“.It behooves the citizens of this
‘community to get behind the chautau
qua this year and assist in putting it
.a6ross without loss to local citizens,
‘ghirty in number, who have guaran
feed its financial success. Each of the,
thirty signers have agreed to dispose
of their pro-rata share of the season
tickets, and they individually will be
the losers if they fail to do so. These
thirty signers are deserving of your
©o-operation, as their signatures were
affixed to the contract for purely com
munity spirit reasons.
A meeting of the guarantors of this
year’s chautauqua was held Wednes
day evening at the Austin & McCoy
furniture store, and an organization
affected. G. H. Austin was elected

proved, and his many friends will be
glad to know that he is now on the
way to recovery. He is suffering
from injuries sustained recently in an
"gccident which occurred at the Barnes
farm southeast of this city. He is un
_der the care of Dr. F. G. Dutton.

THE CITIZENS NATIONAL BANK —— JULESBURG, COLORADO — A GOOD BANK IN A GOOD TOWN
OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF JULESBURG AND OF SEDGWICK COUNTY
JULESBURG, COLORADO, THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1922
NEARLY INCH AND ONE
HALF RAINFALL HERE IN
TWENTY-THREE MINUTES
Another big rain! Last Monday af-|
ternoon a total of 1.42 inches of rain
fell in Julesburg within exactly twen
ty-three minutes, according to Frank
Deich, the local Co-operative Weather
Observer. It was a terrific downpour,
almost on the order of a cloud burst.
As a result a number of the streets
in Julesburg were flooded with water,
and in several places the sidewalks,
yards and basements were inundated.
Water running down from the hills
on the north table caused the Peterson
ditch to overflow, and for an hour or
so a large amount of water rushed
down the streets of Julesburg. The
‘building occupied by Mr. and Mrs. W.
H. Pound at the corner of Pine and
Second’ streets was in the path of the
stream as well as the Twomey Hotel
at the corner of First and Pine streets,
the water running underneath these
buildings. However, only slight dam
age was done.
Persons going to their homes in the
northwest part of the city Monday
evening used various means in reach
ing their destination, the water being
deep enough at the street corners and
crossings to make it impossible to
cross on foot without getting wet. At
one corner a boys’ coaster wagon was
used by a gallant man to transport
lladies across the flooded area. The
Dandelions Ueber Alles.
~iter receded at about eight o’clock
Monday evening.
The rain Monday afternoon was of a
local nature. Reports from Ovid and
the section west of Julesburg were
to the effect that there was only a
sprinkle in that vicinity. However,
a rain which was general throughout
this section fell Monday night and
Tuesday morning, the precipitation re
gistered in Julesburg being one-half
inch, while an even larger rainfall was
reported in other parts. Some hail
fell, but only slight damage is re
ported. The total precipitation here
Monday and Monday night was 1.92
inches.’
Again Wednesday night this section
was visited by about one-half inch of
rainfall. To be exact, according to
Frank Deich, local weather man, the
total precipitation for the night was
42 inches. This makes a total of
2.34 inches during the week.
With the abundance of moisture
which this community has been bless
ed during the past several weeks,
| coming just at the right intervals,
there are indeed glowing prospects for
| bumper crops in this fertile section,
and there is a general feeling of re
joicing upon the part of the farmers
and all our citizens.
MEMORIAL PROGRAM WAS
HELD IN DISTRICT COURT
ROOM TUESDAY, MAY 30
DESPITE BAD WEATHER
Music by Julesburg Concert Band, Community
Singing of Patriotic Songs and Stirring Pa
triotic Address by Local Clergyman Consti
tuted Splendid Program Given in Honor of
Soldier Dead.
Despite the inclement weather, the
Memorial Day program was held in
Julesburg as scheduled Tuesday morn
ing with some changes. Instead of
holding the exercises on the courthouse
lawn as had been planned, the same |
were held in the district court room of |
the court house.
A much larger attendance should
have been present at this program
held in honor of our dead heroes, but
the threatening weather was no doubt’
responsible for the absence of a num
ber of the people of this community.
Those who failed to attend missed a|
splendid program. ‘
The Julesburg Band played a num
ber of selections, followed by the sing-|
ing of patriotic songs by the audience,
Rev. B. H. Schrader, pastor of the
Church of Christ being the song lead
er. Rev. E. V. Kuhns, pastor of the
Congregational church and Dr. C. A.
Law, Commander of the American Le
gion, Gateway Post 105 constituted
the committee in charge. ~
The Memorial Day address was de
livered by Rev. A. J. Waller, pastor
of the Methodist Episcopal church.
His address was greatly appreciated
by all present, kindling anew the fire
of patriotism in the hearts of his lis
teners, and creating a new and even
more firm determination to do jus
tice in the fitting observance of Me
morial Day in reverence to the Sold
ier Dead. A synopsis of Rev. Wal
ler’s stirring patriotic address is as
follows:
“This Memorial Day service has a
particular significance in that in the
speaker’s experience this was the
first one at which no veteran of the
Grand Army of the Republic was pres
ent. This is a transition time.
“Memorial Day is a beautiful obser
vance. Human nature tends to for
get benefits. We lose sight of the
rungs of the ladder by which we have
ascended. So we will remember that
we may be saved from the vice of in
gratitude. For &is ill for a country,
a community, a man, to receive good
and not to be grateful. We remember
further that we may give recognition
to two great principles. First, the
principle that we are linked to the
past. The roots of our national ex
istence, ideals goes down to the soil
of the past and across the seas. The
second is that as a people in a most
marked . way we have been given Pro
vidential leading. Our history reveals
that we have been God-guided. And
remembering this we will be humble
in our greatness and unselfish and
brotherly in our prosperity. The
founding of this Day and its obser
vance for half a century has had a di
rect and often a restricted reference
-to the heroes of the war between the
states. But we are now remembering
all who answered the country’s call
and wore the uniform of the Republic.
Not all the conflicts were of the same
intensity, but every young American
who has served under the starry ban
nr has done his part and is worthy of
grateful remembrance.
“We will remember them because
they have proven to a world that has
charged us with materialism that
America is a nation that is led by the
ideal. We will remember them be-|
cause whether in the 18th, the 19th or
the 20th century, their efforts were
not to extend boundaries, to bclster‘
up dynasties to exploit backward
races but to preserve and to extend‘
Democracy to lead mankind onwardi
toward that desired goal when all over
this earth all men will ‘be truly free
and come to their highest and best.
We will remember that they showed
that the true defense of a nation is in
its enlightened and patriotic citizenry.
We will remember them by the obser
vance of this day, by words of eulogy
on the printed page and from the lips,
by flower decked graves, but stately
shafts piercing the skies, the marble
minstrels voiceless stone telling in
deathless song the story how they
fell. But not by these alone shall we
NUMBER 34
remember them. We dare not for our
own integrity’s sake, we who sent
them out with song and music and
prayers, deal out to them less than
justice, yea and a justice that must
| be not a bare but a generous and over
| flowing justice. 'We will remember
them rightly when we inculcate devo
tion to the right and the noble, when
we kindle and foster in the hearts of
the young the holy flame of patrio
| tism. We will remember them rightly
in dedicating ourselves to the highest
interests of our country and of hu
manity. The work is not all over. The
world is still seething with unrest.
To take one instance Armenia, an an
cient Christian nation is being done to
death by the Turk. America, the great
the strong, the big brother has some
responsibility toward her as America
recognized she had toward Cuba. We
will remember them rightly by being
faithful. If not will they sleep “tho
poppies grow in Flander’s Fields.”
“A legend of Francis Drake per
sists along the seacoast from wgich
| he went out on his sea adventures.
‘When he died he bade them hang his
drum by the sea wall at Plymouth and
| whenever his country was in need and
| the drum was struck he would “rise
| from the darkness under the sea ten
| thousand miles away” and come. So
|if we are recreant in the hour of
| America’s need almost it would seem
| that, crippled and blinded and maimed
| from treading the wine&rpu of Shi
loh, from the agony of the wilderness
| from Gettysburg, ‘“the “reddest day
.| in history,” from the fiery furnace of
.| the Argonne, from the poppy blos
.| somed fields of Flanders, from Val
| hallas beyond the sea and at home
they would arise and come as they did
before. ; .
| “But the “embalmed and sainted”
, | dead need not come for holding them
.| and their work in tender and fruitful
¢ | remembrance we will by God’s help
_|and as God gives us to see our duty
keep the torch of fidelity burning and
j| hand it on undimmed to those who
r | come after.”
) The morning program was conclud
¢| ed by a selection rendered by the band,
e | the singing of America and The Star
- | Spangled Banner by the audience.
| | Benediction was pronounced by Rev.
e | Waller,
t In the afternoon a number of our
- | citizens went to the Hillside and Re
s | servation cemeteries, where the graves
d | were strewn with flowers,
