Notice the work of Demsrest, who won:

Demarest knocked amateur records sky
high in the championship tournament OF
1908 in Chicago. but the whole play was re-
markably speedy and high class. Dem
Arrest, the winner, made a high run Of 10,
a single average of 57.14 and q grand aver
age OF 21.22. The figures for the others
were as follows: Wright, 1~S5-NW-l6.14:
Conklin, 1n-l539-l211; Gardner, 75-l3.sO-
11O1; Poggenburg, 116-2o.6-11.9; Jackson,
56-10.s5.
Then came the International champion
ship of 1908 at the Liederkranz, at which
1872 was played instead OF N2, and the
games Of 400 points. Demarest made a
high run of ISL, a single average OF 1851
and a grand average Of %, performances
worthy to be compared with high class
professional work. Rerolle finished second
and his figures were 1@-15 3s-13.4. Then
came Conklin with 6e-lS.7s-9,9s; Gardner.
with 62-105S-S50, and Poggenburg with
SILL. 0s-9.47.
This year the first national tournament
at 1872 was played, and the averages are
creditable, though the field lacked the
class OF that which took part in the two
tournaments of 1908. Wright, the winner,
made a high run Of IS, a winning average
Of 1857 and a grand average Of 14.1. The
playing OF the others is shown by their
figures: Conklin, 5s-l063-9.O5; jackson,
75-l6.61-1o.56; Mayer, s6-lO53-s.22; Mai.

The National is authority for the state

CURES SKIN DISEASES

In this article we want TO explain to you the cause of skin diseases,
and also offer suggestions, founded on reason and experience, which
will enable you to cure yourself If you are afflicted with any of the
various forms OF this trouble.
The skin receives its necessary nourshment from the blood.
Every pore is kept open and every gland kept healthy by continually
feeding on the nutritious properties which are distributed throughout the
system by a pure, rich blood supply. AS long as this normal condition
exists the cuhcle will be soft, smooth, and free from eruphonS; when
however the circulation is contaminated with humorS and impurities

District Court in Session.

District court was opened at Delta
Monday. as per postponement from
September Goth. by Judge Shackelford
The burglery case, the People VS..
McLey, Green and Cunningham. oc-
cupied the first two days. the jury re-
turning verdict of guilty Wednesday
morning. Judge Shackelford will pro
badly pronounce sentence tomorrow.
The accused were charged with bur-
glarizing the safe at the depot of the
d. & R. G. Railroad Company at Hotch-
kiss a few weeks ago. They were ar
rested few days later at Montrose and
confined in the county Jail at Delta.
They are credited with one attempt at
escape and rumor says a ladder was
again found against an outside window
of the Jail yesterday morning. McLey
and Green were found guilty of bur-
glary with explosives and Cunningham
as accessory.
After the burglary case had been
tried tSe case of the People VS.. w. H.
Hecky was taken up and is in progress
at the time of going to press. Hecky
shot and killed a Gamma Creek man
named Sullivan, last spring, after de-
Gliding that Sullivan was in the act of
stealing a valuable horse from him at
the Doughspoon ranch. A jury at the
time cleared him of intent to commit
murder and regarded his act as justifi-
able, but later relatives of Sullivan had
him arrested on charge Of murder.

Good Men at the Fairs.

Horticular Inspector Richardson, of
Delta, did good work at the local fairs
and at Montrose this year. He proved
the best man that could possibly have
been placed in charge of the fruit ex-
hibits. He had the knowledge. the ex-
perience and taste for arrangement
which made our exhibits so attractive
and interesting, and. having the quality
necessary for the display. premiums
flowed in a steady stream. At the
State Fair, our splendid committees
were ably assisted by Paul Wilson, of
Hotchkiss, whose experience in man.
agement of these fairs and his personal
influence as officer and director, were
by no means without effect. Through
it all Delta county has secured the re-
suits to which her exhibits were fairly
and honestly entitled. She is proud Of
her products. proud of the fairs and
very proud of her scores of premiums.

Crawford to Boom.

The Crawford country is on the eve
of big boom. Large acreages of land
have exchanged hands in the past few
days, with quite a number of others
pending, and railroad talk of road
into this country is again rife.
The fruitland mesa country is being
settled up very fast. and it will only be
a matter of time until work on the
reservoir will be pushed in real earnest.
A large force of men and teams are
now busy enlarging the main feeding
ditch after which work will commence
on the mammoth reservoir which will
make this water right second to none.
A number of important changes are
expected to take place inside of ten
days which cannot be published at this
time. Lands are continuing to go up
in price, every home seeker looking
over the country being anxious to close
deal for real estate which cannot be
beat at the price. Now is the time for
everybody to boost for the Smith Fork
country, for we have the goods and
can deliver them.-Chronicle.

to be entirely destitute and in need of
present aid. Mr.. r. B. Frye, a neigh
Dor. has undertaken to circulate a sub
scription in their aid. There are three
boys left in the family, aged 6, I and
years. Mr.. Frye states that clothing
suitable for them will be gratefully
received. The charitably inclined, who
so wish, can leave contributions with
the High School committee in Delta,
either in goods or money. which will be
promptly delivered. The case is sad
one and should appeal to all.

The Banner @unty for Fruit,
Cantaloupes, Alfalfa, Po-
tatoes and Many More.
Crops Showing Profit Of $40 to
$lOO an Acre Very Common.
While $500 to $1,000
Has Been Made.

The world must take off its hat to
Delta County, the banner for fruit, the
banner for cantaloupes, the banner for
sugar beets, alfalfa, oats, potatoes and
a larger variety of profit making crops
than any other county in the United
States can show.
Were you to tell one half of the own
ers of good farms in what has been re-
garded as the best of the agricultural
states, that any one of half dozen diff
ferent crops can be raised in Delta
county at profit of from $40 to 500
per acre. they would not believe you.
Should you go further and tell them
that some of our land yields from $500
to $1,000 an acre in a seasons crop,
they would say you are crazy.
Yet these are facts as common and
as well known to them that the best
they can get out of their land is an av-
erage of about $50 per acre.
Should you relate to them that a sin
gle farmer in this county has, within
a month. sold the apples in his 40-acre
orchard for SIS, 900 cash, they would
wonder what Ananias would think of
you were he alive today.
Were you to say that an acre of
Strawberries has yielded 1920 in crop;
that other berry crops have done near
ly as well; that tomatoes have made
the grower $500 an acre sold at the To-
cal canning factory; that potatoes are
wrapped in paper. shipped to the swell
hostleries of New York City and paid
for at about the same as fruit; that
oats yield 100 bushels to the acre and
sells for better price than the grain
brings in Chicago; that our wheat is in
equally good demand; that our alfalfa
meadows cut six tons to the acre and
the hay sells for $40 per ton; that our
cantaloupes capture the first award
over those of Rocky Ford; that we have
taken not only Sweepstakes but First
premiums on our fruits, singly and col
lectively, wherever and whenever ex-
hibited. they wouldn't say anything
they'd just look at you sorrowfully,
then turn away and go to bed.
Yet all of this is true and therefore
we repeat:

Plate Glass Tapped by Burg
lars and Guns Taken
From Window.
Thieves Appeared to Know What
They Were About---Cov-
cred Glass With Mud
to Muffle Noise.

Yesterday morning it was discovered
that thieves lad broken one of the
large glass in front window at the
Stockham Bros, hardware and ex-
tracted guns from the show window to
the number of nine. including rifles and
revolvers
The thieves daubbed mud, which some
say way mixed with putty, in a circle
around the place where they wished
the glass to break, then made a hole
large enough to admit an arm. 1t
would appear that the job was only
intended as petty one, else they
would have entered the store, which
could have been arranged for. it would
seem, with but little extra hazard in
the same manner through the window.
Notwithstanding the precautions
taken TO deaden noise, the large glass
was badly cracked, causing almost as
much damage, perhaps. as the loss of
goods.
