EARLY POTATOES.

that gets into the market a week

cent more in price. Seedmen offer new
varieties every year. but so many Of
them are claimed TO be "the earliest"
that It is impossible TO make a solec-
ton. There are, however. wcll-known
early varieties that have been tested.
ana they should be given the prefer

DO NOT AIAKE NACEs.

1t is not necessary to have the side OF
the mouth and nose disngured by lines
10 such an alarming extent as we TOO
freQk Rtly see, says the Philadelphia
InqV 1r. There are twenty-eight mus
cles Ebout the mouth which contract
and relax under control o. the will ana
which pout and laugh, or frequently
droop with fretfulness.
1t Is easy to see that the woman who
misuses these muscles and allows her
face to reflect every emotion, being in
deed, reclslessly cXtrayagant in the
expenditure of the emotions, must ex-
pect' havoc TO be worked with the
fa1f
ItVs worse than useless TO put cold
cream on a cold skin. 1t does not sink
in, but lies upon the flesh, doing no
good and making it oily. Indeed, to
this may be traced the greasy effect
which cold cream has upon many skins
With the skin warm, put on the toilet
cream, and then use the brush, or even
the palns5f the hand, for rubbing.

SURVEY TO Be MADE
Delta's New Waterworks Will Be a
Paying Proposition.

A corps OF surveyors, under the direc-
ton Of Nelson Rhoadcs. consulting engi-
neer OF Denver. viii begin tomorrow and
complete surveys will be made for the
new waller main, which is to bring
mountain water to the city.
Mr.. Rhoades thinks that the prospec-
tive waterworks proposition s one Of
the very best OF any valley town Oh the
western slope. He says that $4,000
bonds for this city will not be near SO
whose resources axe not TO he compared
with ours. 10 fact when resources and
the size OF the two places are considered
the $4,000 bonds FOR Ho:chkiss will be
much larger obligation than $4,000
for Delta.
From the present outlook the noun .
tain water system is to be the best piece
of business from every standpoint that
has ever been put forward in Delta.
The fact that the water receipts will
pay the interest and the cost Of opera
tiou from the very beginning will make
it less burdensome than even the old
pumping system which is furnishing
wafer now from the Glnnisou. With
our present system the water receipts
do not pay the actual running expenses
and as the cost to keep it up is becoming
more and more it is only a matter Of
time when it will be dead expense on
The town and yet would be only river
water after all.
Delta is now building up very fast and
with mountain waller will continue to 60
SO. With The pure. sparkling mountain
| water brought down from an altitude
where all things are pure, Delta will be
one of the most desirable resident towns

W. Gallant of North Delta, has sold this
season slll.I5 worth of potatoes of OF
three quarters cf an acre.
This is Amos, sl4p per acre and shows
a clear profit Of at least slOO on single
acre. This would pay 10 per cent on a
$1,000 investment, consequently it can
be readily seen that 800 to 800 per
acre il not too high for such land
Nr. Gallant received $l.C0 per cwt.
and says that he has six acres more that
be expects to get even more for as the
