Announcement.

Arrangement has been made
whereby The Independent has ta-
ken on the subscription list OF The
Delta County Democrat and Will
fill out its unexpired subscriptions.
Stearns Bros, its publishers, Dy
the same arrangement, obtain con-
troll of the job printing department
of The Independent and with its
equipment they will combine their
own, thus making one of the best
Job printing establishments on the
Western Slope.
On the part of The Independent
management there were two reasons
for wishing to make this arrange
ment One was because the paper
was growing until it's publisher de-
sired to give it his undivided time;
the other was a desire to reduce
the number of papers in Delta to
two, which at present is enough for
the field. -
On the part of the Stearns boys.
who are both good printers and
hard workers. they saw in the
proposition certain elements of ad-
vantage to themselves as we'll as to
The Independent, and accepted 1t
as a business proposition.
Subscribers to The Delta County
Democrat will lose nothing b. the
arrangement. while patrons of The
Greater Independent will be serv-
ed more promptly in job patronage
than heretofore.
Respectfully.
A NJ. ANDERSON,
STEARNS BROS.

Rivers High.

Both the Gunnison and Uncom-
pahgre rivers have been high as the
sunshine of the valley is reaching
to the snow at high mountain range
The first half of June is usually the
time of highest water with both of
these rivers. and this year is prov
ing no exception. though because
OF early warm spells, less than
usual amount OF snow last winter
and little rain this spring. It was
hardly expected that the rivers woult
reach the volume they have shown
for the past six weeks.
Because of the dry weather the
irrigating bitches have been running
full during all the time mentioned.

Total number of visits made by
teachers to parents for the purpose
of consultation relative to the child,
l5S.
1t is seen that there is very con-
siderable falling of the enrolment
in the fifth grade. This may be ac-
counted for partly by the fact that
this grade marks the period in the
child life when decisions are being
made. If parental control is weak
and the child not disposed to study
he absents himself from school.
At the close of the year the regu-
lar review work was badly inter-
rupted because of contagious dis
eases in the community.
The reports show that 217 pupils
were dropped from the rolls during
the last month. Every effort will
be made at the opening of the fall
term to do justice to all. who were
absent because of sickness, and thus
failed of promotion.
AS a whole the work of the year
has been very satisfactory in its re-
suits. Yours truly,
PHILIP NJ. CONDIT,
Superintendent OF City Schools.

Delta Boys High Standing.

In speaking of Fred Kings great
record in which he wor the class
shoot in Iowa, he was classed by
the papers there as dark horse"
This was hardly true. as the Delta
boy has had a high score record for
at least five years past. His great
score in the recent shoot. while
highly gratifying to his friends in
Colorado, was not SO unexpected as
to be a surprise. By his score of

Investors Are Subscribing.

1t may be n coincidence only, but
1t happens right along that the mail
ing galleys of The Independent,
more often than otherwise, show
up the name of an investor as one
of our subscribers. Where 1t fails
with this paper. more likely than
not the investor has been SUBJ

county papers. There is no other

A slight Discrepancy.

President Taft in his message to
congress stated that tho government
paid the railroads 9 cents pound
for hauling the mail. A committee
representing 139 railroad companies
declares that tho government pays
less than 3 cents pound tor haul
Ing mail. This is only difference of
cents between the two authorities.
II seems to be up to congress to find
out the truth, II 1t can.

ment, has devoted much time to the
education of the women and children

ZIG CROPS RAISED BY BOYS.
Department OF Agriculture Gets Re-

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 50. 1910.
Reports have been received at the
Department OF Agriculture from the
Boys Corn Clubs Of Mississippi. The
result for the past season promises 10
exceed the record made last year.
Both the boys and the Department
officials who started the movement
are pleased with the results.
The average OF the corn crop for
the State was. last year, fourteen
bushels per acre. Some of the boys.
following the new methods of seed
selection and cultivation, raised forty
bushels and over.
Boys Get Big Crops.
There were forty boys In the State
who raised ninety-two bushels an
acre, and there was one who raised
1852 bushels. This was the record
crop, but he will not receive the
award of merit, because he used an
excessive amount Of fertilizer.
The scheme of the Corn Club con-
test is for the biggest crop raised at
the smallest expense. The corn is
shelled and measured and weighed
under the supervision of committee
OF disinterested business men.
Cost Thirteen Cents q Bushel.
The award this year probably will
crop on a measured acre at an ex-
pense oils cents bushel. This in
cluded the rent of the land, the labor
and fertilizer and all other expenses
The boy who raised the crop Of 49,
| bushels did it at a profit as corn
was selling, but he spent $50 in fer
