No use talking. Gilpin's yellow purp
was as worthless as pair OF Christ
mas suspcnders. He was so onery
that every breath Of air he consumed
was crime. Gilpin decided to eradi-
cate the purp. whose name, by the
way. was Narcissus.
Just to be sure the job would be
complete, one, Gilpin selected likely
looking stick OF dynamite and tied It
to the vacillating caudal appendage OF
MAI cissus. Then he lit the fuse ana
ran for the house.
So did Narcissus, faithful dog.

'tised and MADE GOOD ALL
THEY ADVERTISED?
A GOOD NAME becomes
known slowly, but it is the
SUREST and SAFEST kind OF
name in business.
People want to buy GOOD
things from good, relia bl
houses.
That is a good thing to re-
member, Mr.. Advertiser.
heard sometime ago OF a
business house that was selling
articles that looked like sterling
silverware. If you picked it up
and looked for the name, you
saw the word STIRLIN G,
spelled with 81" instead of &C."
What would you think of a
merchant who bought this ware
and sold it to his customers as
e enuine silverware at enor-
mously cut prices? Do you think
he can attain any real, lasting
success? Is it not only a ques-
ton of time before the, public
will lose faith in his statements
and withdraw its trade from
him?
A great many people - the
majority of us-cannot afford
to buy luxurious things, but all
of us want to know what we are
buying-whether it is REAL
silverware, whether it is cotton
and wool, whether it is ALL
WOOL.
The only thing to do in adver-
Using is to TELL THE TRUTH
ABOUT THE GOODS OF
FERED. That's all anybody
wants.

Convicted Men Get New Trial.

James Black and H. R. McLey,
tried and convicted in Delta in
September term of court 1909, have
had a reversal of their case by the
supreme court, Justice Morton S.
Bailey reading the decision.
H. J. Baird of Delta, attorney
for the men convicted, called the
attention of the higher court to
numerous points of error. The one
upon which it's decision of reversal
was based appears to be that the
matter of their statement that they
could, II given time, produce wit
nesses to prove~that- they were
not in Hotchkiss when the chime
for which they were convicted was
committed and that they could
also raise money for their defense.
was not given attention.
They were tried in Delta for
blowing safe in the depot of the
d. & r. G. railroad company at
Hotchkiss. and were convicted and
sentenced by Judge Shackleford TO
from 25 to 80 years in the state
penitentiary.
A new trial will now be applied
for and If prosecuted, may have a
hearing in the February term.

Potatoes. Early or Late.

AS the potato crop is one of our
! important ones. farmers have
cleaned some experience as to the
better value of early VS.. late
qualities
The last year has been a telling
one in this direction, but while it
has demonstrated the value of the
early crop another season might
entirely reverse the order.
In the year 1910, more acreage
was put in early potatoes than
usual. The crop was good and the
crop was mainly marketed at from
81 to s1.25 per sack. The late crop
proved no better yield and much
of it is still stored for better prices,
the local consuming price now be-
ing but about 75c per sack.
1t can hardly be considered a
wise plan for growers to shift their
whole acreage one way or another.
because of one seasons results for
that alone might create sufficient
ly large production to affect their
market adversely. The EARLY mar
ket. of course, has certain advan-
tages u comes with the beginning
of the consuming season. yet
it can be over-supplied the same
as any ether. In favor of the later
crop is its better keeping qualities
and the long winter and spring
seasons through which it must sup
ply conumers.
1t would seem to be the safest
plan to grow both varieties to what
ever extent the farmers Judgment
might best suggest and according
to the acres he may wish to cult
vate.

Sugar Factory Matters.

The Independent is informed that
the officials of the Western Sugar
and Land Company are to be in
Delta today or tomorrow-mos
likely today-to confer with COM
mittees and citizens regarding re-
movng the Grand Junction factory
to this city.
Whatever may be accomplished at
this conference, it will doubtless be
of significant importance, and will
have bearing upon Delta's immedi-
ate chance for a sugar factory-a
chance which at this or any other
time means much.
1t looks like our people ought 10
get together and do all they can to
secure I sugar factory, and we be-
lieve the gentlemen who run the
factory at Grand Junction, being
SO well acquainted with the field
and the advantages of location, will
meet them with plan that will
prove satisfactory to all concerned.
II liberal plan is presented, it
will no doubt be closed with just as
quickly as the arrangements to
guarantee it can be made.
II will naturally take time to
accomplish the preliminary ar
arrangements. for beet growing con-
tracts. as well as other details
would have to be looked after.
The Independent believes that
our people will enter into the
spirit of such an enterprise ac-
lively and earnestly. whenever they
are satisfied with its fairness as a
business proposition.
