Navy Athletic Association Discusses
Annual Game With Army

At a meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Navy Athletic Associa-
ton held Sunday afternoon there was
an informal discussion of the ar.
engagements for playing the annual
Army Navy football game in the flu
ture, and the sentiment was unani-
nous that the Navy must secure a
larger number of tickets for distri-
button. The matter will be formally
considered at a meeting of the asso-
citation to be held on december 20.
Not only will it be necessary to
make an agreement with the officials
of West Point as to playing the
game, but the representatives. of
both will then have to make arrange
ments for location for the game.
1t is likely that committee will De
appointed at the meeting whic. will
have power to act in both matters.
1t has been minated that West Point
may stand out for having the game
played the Saturday before Thanks
giving Day, instead of the Saturday
after. West Point has desired this
for a number of years.
FrSnklin Field, the athletic grounds
of the. University of Pennsylvania, is
likev cry much by everyone connect
ed with the Navy, and it is hoped
that the university authorities may
find some way to increase the number
of tickets allotted to the Navy.
If this is not done, it is certain that
new grounds will be sought, the sec
ond choice being one of the baseball
parks in Philadelphia.

Red Cross Seals.

Mama, what's a seal?" asked
eigh-year-old Mary, looking up from
the paper, whose black headlines
she was laboriously deciphering.
"a seal is a little animal that
lives in the ocean. We use its fur
for coats and wraps" was the en-
Tightening answer of the parent
Mary puckered her brow for some
minutes, and again Intercepted,
Mamma, will seals stop plagues?"
referring perhaps to some of the
Biblical narratives she had heard told
in Sunday-school.
"Stop plaques! Why, child, what
are you talking about?" cried the
mother in amazement
"Why here it says RED Cross
Seals Stop White Plague" trium-
phantly holding up the paper.
Then mama explained to her little
girl that the Red Cross Seal is tiny
siamp-like sticker which is placed
on the back of letters and packages
coming from Santa Claus and others.
Every seal costs a penny, and every
penny goes to fight and cure consump-
ton, which is the real name of the
white plague, and which is an awful
sickness. Mamma told her of little
girl in her own neighborhood who
had consumption, but who was given
a chance to get we'll because the
people had bought Red Cross Seals.
Mary listaned attentively, and
finally touched by the closeness of
the appeal, said: MAMA, / think
I'd rather have some of those seals
than a new dolly"

poses, the fine healthy climate, cheap
fuel, rich land that needs no fertilizer,
and grows large crops of hay, grains
and vegetables, besides being the best
1rut country on earth, make it a de-
slrable place to live for both profit and
pleasure. The best schools and churches
are at our door; we have electric lgh S
and water works, the water being ped
from the pure mountain springs; large
evaporator, canning factory, cider and
vinegar plant, and several large pack
ing houses, where hundreds of men and
women are employed packing and ship
ping the immense crops to all markets
of the world.
Wages are the highest Of any place
the writer knows of. Men get 81 so
per day for common labor and SO to
s3.5o per day for experimenting the
work in orchards. The women and
girls pack the fruit, by the box, and
make as much as the men and some
times more. An expert girl Is to Is
years old makes So and often "a per
day.
A comparison of the difference be-
tween farming by irrigation and that
by natural precipitation may not be un-
interesting to some of our eastern read
ers. The eastern farmer getting every
thing in shape in spring, plants his crop
and hopes for the best results, without
knowing whether the season will be too
wet or too dry. 1t often happens one
way or the other, which cuts his crop
short. The Colorado ranchman or farm
er, after getting his land ready for the
seed, puts his bitches in good repair
ready to run the water when needed,
with the full assurance that when the
crops require moisture all he has to do
is to raise his gates and apply it He
takes his shovel and regulates the flow
to his crops, covering five to forty and
sometimes one hundred acres at time,
and when he retires at night he does so
with the certainty of full harvest.
Again, when moisture is applied to
crops when they require it, everything
develops to its full size and of the very
best qua ity. Those who have never
had the advantages of irrigation cannot
realize the benefit over depending on
natural rainfall, and those who have
been accustomed TO it would have no
confidence in growing crops without be-
ing able to apply water when required.

Paonid and Vicinity.
BY MERLE D VINCENT.


We have no authentic information
respecting the exact location of the
Garden of Eden, but a number of gray
and grizzled pioneers in Paonia, whose
truthfulness and integrity are unques-
toned, seriously contend that circum-
stantial evidence points Enthusiastically
to this place. One of the aged pios
neers, who it must be confessed is some
what enthusiastic, declares that the tree
on which grew the celebrated apple that
tempted Mother Eve grew and flour
ished on spot that is now the north
yard. This is. of course, a little ro-
mantle, but it is certain that the an
cient apple which We are told lured the
family of the first fruit grower in Eden
to taste its quality and make a market
for it, must have been such an apple
in color and quality as grows in pro-
life quantities here. And if the Eden
apple was like in color and quality unto
Paonia Jonathan, surely Mother Eve
would have been more than human and
lacking in taste and discrimina ion had
she scorned to taste such fruit.
Paoha is situated in the eastern or
upper end of the North Fork Valley,
and is the shipping point for the ad-
jacent fruit country. This valley is
surrounded north, east and south by
mountains which create a landscape
outlook attractive beyond description.
The cedars on the mountain slopes meet
and mingle with the orchards of the
valley, and in the midst of this is To-
Gated the town of Paonia. Here the
visitor will find what will strike him as
an ideal community both for residence
and for business. The development of
the country has been gradual and sta

been the rule. 1t is such community.
such people, and such business condi-
tons as appeal most strongly to the
average citizens.
There has never been an attempt to
boom this place and fortunes have not
been spent to advertise it. Its produc-
tiveness and prosperity are the natural
consequences of substantial and thor
ough improvements. As result, busi-
ness of all kinds is not only thriving.
but rests on stable basis. Invest
ments can be had in property at its real
value.
The value of American farm produce
in 1909 was equivalent TO one hundred
and ten dollars per capita for our eighty
million people. The fruit crop mark
eted from Paonia in 1909 brought money
returns Of two hundred and fifteen dol
lars for each man woman and child re-
siding in the community.
Delta county in which Paonia is sit
uated, is celebrated as the greatest
fruit producing county in the West.
And Paonia is the heaviest fruit ship
ping station not only in Delta county
but in the West. From this station
alone We're shipped, during the year
1909. more cars of fruit than We're
shipped from the state of Oregon or
from the state of Washington. This

eral prosperity seldom enjoyed by a
community.
