There are sufficient assets to pay the
liabilities and the depositors will lose
nothing"
Paul Hardy, the receiver, says: 81

In the football game the Juncti IN
made the only score that was made,
which was a touchdown by Johnson.
The balance of the first half was
marked by various fumblings on both
sides, and at the close of the half the
score stood to 0 in favor of the
visitors
In the second half better work was
done By both teams. and at one time
Delta had the ball on the Junction s
one yard line However, the Tigers
held them. got the ball and punted out
of danger. After several minutes hard
play, the ball was again carried to the
functions S six yard line by Delta. Here
on lisle buck, the ball was fumbled,
and one of the Junction men was off
side. A long argument followed. Ref
cree Moody applied rule 26 of Section 4,
which would have called the play void,
snd tik ban placed where it was on the
seven yard line. Delta offered to make
the play over or accept penalty of
five yards and retain the ball, but this
the Tigers would not hear to. We don t
know just what they wanted, but think
they might have finished, if they could
have penalized Delta seventy
yards, and taken the ball. However,
we are not sure, for when a team
show themselves to be pikers enough
to walk off the field with the opposing
team on their five yard line, it's hard
to say just what advantage they might
ask.
The Grand Junction Daily News had
a big story about how the Tigers
played rings around the Delta team.
and yet it admitted everything that is
in this article. 1t also had a lot to say
about Coach Bernard, how partial he
was to the Delta basketball team, etc.
Perhaps he was, but we can't see why
he should be, as he is Grand Junction
man. We have failed to see the
many" Delta people spoken of that
conceded that the Tigers should have
the decision.

Thousands of Stomachs in America

Thousands7 yes, hundreds of thous-

taking the slow death to the stomach
treatment daily.
They are numbering their own stom-

their sublime ignorance they think they

nature.
This is no sensational statement; it is
a startling fact, the truth Of which any
honorable physician will not deny.
These thousands of people are swai-

from the stomach the work that nature

WOULD PROTECT LABOR.
samuel Gompers Favors Employers
Liability Laws.

New York, Nov. 25.-Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, and A. H. GILL NJ. p, and
a prominent English labor leader, are
among those who have expressed their
views on employers liability laws to
the New York legislative commission
investigating the matter.
President Gompers said he believed
that if laws were passed which requir-
ed employers to compensate employees
injured the number of accidents would
be greatly diminished. He said that in
a museum in Munich. he had seen a
great variety of safety devices which
he believed would be adopted by en-
ployers If the law required it.
Mr.. Gill, who gave his views at length,
was instrumental in having the Eng
Dish compensation law passed in 1897.
Employers. he said, had opposed the
passage OF the law. but that the law
was now popular and the principle was
approved by employers as well as en-
plOyeS generally.
