DELTA's FRUIT SHIPMENTS.

1t has recently been given out at this

ments for last year was fully 2, 1000 cars.
This does not include sugar beet ship

shipped something over 1900 cars of
fruit and in looking over the write-up
of the several fruit producing counties
there is none that seem to approach
Delta's shipments. Is it possible that
Delta county raises and ships more

pressed by the silk cord. caused the

WHY EDITORS GROW RICH.

To enable others to know the secret
of how SO many country editors become
rich, we will tell yon, as follows:
A child born in the neighborhood:
The attending physician gets $25; the
editor gives the loud-lunged youngster
and happy parents send-off, and gets
50. It is christened; the minister gets
S, the editor 500. It grows up and
marries, the editor publishes another
long-winded and fowery article. The
minister gets $40 and piece of cake;
the editor gets 5000. In the course Of
time it dies. The doctor gets from $50
to 500. The editor publishes notices
Of death, lodge and society resolutions,
a lot Of poetry and a card of thanks
and gets $4,000. No wonder so many
editors get rich.-Delta Laborer.
Well, if we were giving dead-beats,
generally, roast we would not single
out the isolated case of minister Of
the gospel as the only example alluded
to. It is not in justice to the clergy,
who have feelings as well, and are as
honest as are newspaper men. -Salida
