An Unwise Law

Shawnee, Okla, Nov. 2.-"In de-
termining whether or not the Oklaho-
ma bank guaranty law is wise piece
OF legislation. IL is, OF course, es-
sential to survey its operations and
applications to each community in ev
cry part Of the state, as well as to the
state as a whole" says Lou Allard,
editor-owner of the Shawnee Daily
News.
The prosperity Of the banker de-
ponds on the patronage of the com
munity in which he does business.
The people should. and usually do,
have a local pride in their banking in
situations. The local community, by
doing iis business with local banks,
and thus building up the strength OF
the local banks as well a. add 10 the
general prosperity of the community
generally, have q right to expect that
local banks will do their utmost to add
TO the general prosperity of their ga
irons and the community also, in turn.
Under the bank guaranty law our
local banks, Of which there are three
are compelled to contribute to a fund
used to build up some other commu-
H:ty, and have contributed something
like sl2 900 to a fund which has been
employed, not for the benefit OF Shaw
nee or Pottawatomie county, but 70
pay for the recklessness and misfortune
Of ONT other community.
"How much better for Shawnee and
Pottawatomie county If this sum Of
money could have been retained by
the banks to add to their own strength
or contribute to some local business Of

Christian Church Dedicated

One OF the notable events in the his
tory of Beaver was written on the
pages Sunday, November 2lst, 1909.
when the First Christian Church, Of
Beaver, Oklahoma, was dedicated to
the Cause Of Christ. Not only was
this the first Christian church to be
dedicated In Beaver but il was also the
first Christian church "a be dedicated
IN Beaver county or more than that
in what was formerly mo Mans Land"
According to previous arrangement
Brother J.. NJ. Monroe, general secre-
tary Of the Christian Church for Okla
homa, arrived from Oklahoma City
Friday to take charge OF the exercises
and to dedicate the one hundred and
twenty-fifth Christian church in Ok
lahoma since his incumbency in that
office.
As a preliminary service Mr.. Monroe
delivered two excellent lectures, one
Friday and another Saturday evening,
on the Holy Lands and Hawaii. Both
addresses were full of interesting
events to which was added enough
humor to make it extremely enjoyable
Large audiences greeted him upon
both occasions. 10 his extensive tray
els Mr.. Monroe has stored up in his
mind many interesting and instructive
evenes ard he has the ability TO re-
count them in a n that pleases
all who hear him,
The services which really meant
more to Beaver and the members OF
the Christian Church particularly
were those which were held on Sunday
At the morning session Mr.. Monroe
occupied the pulpit and at the close Of
n short but impressive discourse called
upon the congregation for contribu-
iions to defray the Indebtedness
against the building which he had
come to dedicate. Responses were
plentiful, the contributions amounted
TO over $4,000 in the aggregate. Ad-
journment was made to the Niles
basement where a sumptuous dinner
had been spread and it is needless to
say that this part OF the occasion was
enjoyed by all as much as any event
OF the day. There was plenty for all
and yet, as in the days of old, there
remained ''twelve baskets full"

Haze the Name as
We'll as the Game.

1t must be remembered that Delta is
raising sugar beets while the world is
scarcely aware of the fact.
This would not remain true if we had
a factory of our own, thing we should
have and could supply.
The beets grown so perfectly and
so abundantly go to Grand Junction, 50
miles away. to be made into sugar.
Grand Junction and Mesa county get
the credit of raising all these sugar
beets.
We have the game without the name.
Delta county people are proud of their
county and what it produces. They
have right to be. But they must
learn to keep their money and the cred
it which goes with earning it, at home.
Let us work to get beet sugar fac
tory of our own.

Mesa County Explains.

Mr.. A. C. Newton attempts an ex-
PLANTATION to w. p. Dale's letter pub
lished last week, and which letter was
addressed openly to the Grand Junction
News:
The explanation is in effect that the
premiums claimed for Mesa county
were intended for the Interstate Fair
at Denver, and not to apply to the
State Fair at Pueblo.
This is all right as far as it goes, and
now if Grand Junction will quit report
ing the car load shipments from Delta
which pass through that town as ''out
of Grand Junction." things will become
more normal. The fact that Delta
county ships more fruit to market than
any other county in the United States
is one she feels entitled to credit for.
and proper credit she will have, if she
has to fight for it.

Rev. William ]. Sly
Called TO Baptist
Church In Delta.

Some two months ago, Rev. William
j. Sly, Pastor of the Garfield Park
Baptist church of Chicago, came to
Colorado, his church giving him few
months vacation that he might try our
climate as means of benefitting his
health. The Baptist church of this
place, learning of his coming, invited
him to supply the pulpit during this
vacation period. The church, being
greatly impressed with Rev. Sly's
strong spiritual sermons, two weeks
ago gave him an unanimous call to be-
come their pastor. After due consid-
Grafton, and with the consent of his
church in Chicago, Rev. Sly on last
Sunday accepted the call. and will inn
mediately take up his labors as pastor
of the Delta church. Rev. Sly has
been pastor of some very strong
churches in the east, among them be-
ing the First Baptist church at Spring
field, Ohio. and the Garfield church at
Chicago, and the Delta congregation
feel like congratulating themselves up
on securing such an excellent minister
as their pastor.

Her Grouing Beauty.

The stranger within her gates-just
within them-knows but little of Delta
county's beauty.
He who spends month in dilligent
search, cannot possibly see all of her
myriad beauty spots.
There are old-timers who knew her
in her ragged dress of sage and chico.
That was before the water was mar
ried to her soil.
Now she wears the flush of fruit and
the gold of grain. The awkward child
has developed form most voluptuous
and her children are gathering as the
sands of the sea-shore.
Beautiful as Columbia herself our
fair vision, Delta county. is yearly
gathering added freshness, healthful
bloom and vigor.
Come and see this charming lady.
She is yours for the asking.

Rail Road for Crawford.
CRAWFORD. Colo. Nov. 20. 100

CRAWFORD, Colo. Nov. 20. 1909.
A very enthusiastic railroad meeting
was held here today. The city hall was
well filed. Hotchkiss was well repre-
sented. The proposition submitted to
the Crawford people comes from Mil
waukee syndicate.
The proposed road is to start at
Hotchkiss, build to Crawford, thence to
Maher, then over Fruitland Mesa to the
famous gypsum beds. being thirty
miles in length. Estimated cost of pro-
posed road is s5U0, 900, of which amount
the citizens of Crawford and vicinity
are asked to take one-fourth. or sl25, 900
in stock.
The general sentiment of the meeting
was in favor of accepting the PROPOSE
ton. A number of prominent speakers
addressed the meeting and by their talk
seemed determined to place Crawford
on the map.
Committees will soon be in the field
and if all goes well dirt will fly in the
nearfuture. F. M. S.

Apples Wanted TO Distribute
From the Booster Train

Every fruit grower in Delta county
who is willing to help advertise Delta
county at the National Apple Show to
be held in Denver next January, and
on the Boosters train which is to be
run from Delta county to Denver on
tA.t occasion, can show his good will
by contributing apples to be carried on
the train and distributed with the ad-
vertising matter. 1t is hoped that a
carload of apples can be secured for
this purpose, and there is no doubt that
they will help materially in attracting
the crowds. The commercial organiza-
tons in the different towns will take
care of the apples or they can be sent
directly to the Delta County Business
Mems Association.
F. A. Wadleigh, of the Denver &
Rio Grande. has promised Delta county
the finest train the road can procure
so that the boosters can have a COM
Portable trip. The cost will be only a
trifie more than required to make the
trip at the reduced rates granted for
the occasion, and this will be more than
repaid by the increased comfort, to say
nothing of the splendid advertising
that Delta will receive.

Pdonia Wins Saturdays
Foot Ball Game Ouer Della.

Paonia people were happy Saturday
night, for their teams had won both
games of the day, the basket ball game
with Crawford and the foot ball game
with Delta.
The basket ball game was more or
less easy, the Crawford girls being ap-
parently new to the play and in poor
practice, though the second half of the
game showed some good playing by
both teams.
The football game, however, was
one of the hardest fought of the sea-
son, player having to take the time
count in nearly every rush.
In the first half of the game Paonia
scored by chance escape with the ball
which one of their players succeeded in
carrying through the goal. These five
points were the only score in either
half of the game, neither team making
a touchdown. 1t may be said for Delta
that they did not have all of their reg
ular players, and because of some ar
gument they were deprived of the ser
vises of their coach, Bill Joe Stevens.
AS it was. the two teams lined up prac-
tically a tie, and the victories now
being even, much interest will attach
to the deciding game which will be
PLAYED later on in Delta.

striking the calf of his leg and leaving
it in strings.
Manear did not realize at once that
he was shot. He said to his compan-
ion: Il believe a rock has struck my
leg and broke it, The companion
noticed the blood running from the
shattered limb and went at once for
their buggy. He returned, lifted
Manear in and took him to the Kin
caide place near by. DR.. Claybaugh of
