Home and Society.


Evangelist Cantwell was greeted by
a larger audience at the Baptist church
last night and interest was intense
among the listeners as he delivered
his sermon on the subject, Sin; VIII
God Punish SIM"
Sin is a transgression of law" de-
clared the speaker "All are sinners
and in need of divine reconciliation. D."
He dealt with those who have sinned
and how they have sinned. He told
how God looks at sin-personal sins,
secret sins and sins in society.
1--WE magnify our difficulties and
minify Gods power" he said. "The
blood of Jesus Christ cleanses from
all sin and this scripture knows no
abbreyiation or subtraction today. If
you are sinner, get right with God. "
Tonight the topic viii be, Coming

Evangelist CantweI Scores Pleasure
Seekers at Baptist Church.


"Christans forget today the doctrine
Of a personal devil. Their energy is
given to business and pleasure Christ

Thus did Evangelist Cantwell score
modern day pleasure seekers, in his
talk at the Baptist church last night.
Mr. Cantwcll was at one time with
Moody in Chicago and later was with
Dr. Torey and Or. Alexander, leaders
today in eyangelisuc work. He is
used to revival meetings in which
many churches unite and is not used
to speaking to small crowds. lie is in

Make Delta Beautiful.

One of the advertisements in the In
DEPENDENT is headed: make Delta
Beautiful" While this phrase is used
extensively by the boosters of other
towns. yet it seems to US that no pref
, tier slogan could be adopted by our peo-
pie generally. Let US get the habit of
saying, make Delta Beautiful" But
we must not stop by adopting such a
motto; we must carry out its mean
ing. Now. how are we to make Delta
beautiful? There are numerous ways,
but this is a matter that must be car
ried out by individual initiative. 1t is
not like lining company of soldiers up
and giving the command to march.
The INDEPENDENT can command the
people of Delta to paint their houses.
park their curbing, keep well watered
and closely clipped lawns. set out trees.
build cement sidewalks and do other
things that would add to the beauty of
the town, but the people can tell the
INDEPENDENT to go hence. if they want
to. If we make Delta beautiful it will
be by the volunteer act of the indvid.
ual citizen and the INDEPENDENT in
suggesting the adoption of such mot
to and in writing editorials about max
ing Delta beautiful, simply hopes to
create public sentiment that will re-
suit in every citizen taking personal
pride in his own property and trying to
make it look as good or little better
than his neighbors.
We have noticed some very pretty
lawns in Delta, but in nearly every
case the space between the walk and
weeds and detract from the beauty of
the lawn fully one-half. 1t is not much
more expense and little more work to
keep the space between the walk and
the curb parked. If you can give the
lawn that time and attention necessary
to keep it in good condition. you can't
afford to let the space between the
walk and the curb go to dirty and un-
slightly weeds.
We have seldom seen town so bad
ly in need of the judicious use of good
paint as is Delta. While there are nu-
merous instances of handsomely paint
ed dwellings, there are also numerous
instances of neglect along this line. We
never could see any economy in an un-
kept property.
Now, some citizen is going to say:
81 don't see any use in working my
head off to keep my property shining
when Tom Jones. across the street. lets
things go to rack and ruin" Well. if
Tom Jones is that sort he will either be
compelled to reform or he will eventu-
ally be succeeded by some one else.
People who let things go to rack and
ruin don't last forever and his success
or, seeing his neighbor's worthy exam
pie is very likely to get busy trimming
things up.
Every citizen of Delta looks forward
to a large growth and to increased
values. 1t is coming whether we tidy
things up or not, but we should take
individual pride in having clean. neat
town to show the great crowd of stran-
gers who will be coming our way dur
ing the next two or three years.
If Delta presents good appearance
we will get the best of them; if it don't
we will get less number of the best
class than we otherwise would. We
want all the best people" we can get.
Let's all unite and do our part as ind-
viduals toward making Delta beautiful.

Local and Personal

George w. Thorp, district manager
of the Colorado Telephone company,
was in town Wednesday. His head
Quarters are at Montrose and he has a
big territory to look after. He says
the Colorado is building to Grand Mesa
and has five miles of post holes COM
pleted. They will soon be there and
then both phones can be used.
Clarence Smith and wife were out to
their ranch on Cedar Mesa Sunday
where the family of C. H. Dorsey have
been undergoing such an affliction with
typhoid fever. Five members of the
family have been stricken with the
disease. including Mrs. Dorsey and four
children. Mrs. Dorsey's life was des-
paired of for time, but we are glad to
report that all are now convalescent
and their recovery expected.
J. B. Hooker, pioneer citizen of
Colorado, having come to the state in
1868, died at his home at Cedaredge
Sunday morning after very brief
illness. although he has been ailing for
several months. Mr.. Hooker was
gradually worn down by stomach and
liver trouble. He leaves wife and
four grown sons and was born in the
state of Pennsylvania in 1882. The
body was shipped to Monte Vista, his
former home, for burial.
j. C. Hart drew No. 3s4 in the Sho-
shoni reservation land drawing in
Wyoming and went up there to select
his land, but was called home before
he could do so on account of the very
serious illness of Mrs. Hart, who is
sufferer from heart trouble. She was
reported much better the first of the
week. Mr.. Hart tells the INDEPENDENT
that there is great deal of dissatis-
faction on the part of those who drew
claims, due to the way the state engi-
neer of Wyoming handled the water
question pertaining to this land. Under
the Wyoming law, it seems, the state
engineer has power to contract with
any outside corporation to handle the
water and he did so, turning the con-
tract to a Chicago corporation, which
is given five years in which to deliver
water to the ranchmen and they are to
pay for it at the rate of 500 per acre
cash, s25 per acre on five years time or
$50 per acre on ten years time. This
simply means that the very large per
centage of those who get the land will
pay the last named figure for their
water. Mr.. Hart says hundreds are
turning away disgusted with this ar
and will not file. He was
with the country and the
general lay of the land and says under
right conditions it could be made fine
district. If Mrs. Hart's health permits
he may go back.
