THE NEW DELTA COUNTY
HOME Is NOW OCCUPIED.

Delta county has every reason
to feel proud of the new county
home, situated on the public farm
about one mile south of the city,
for il is just as good as any such
home in the state and far ahead
oil most OF them.
The new home has just been COM
pleted. and Mr.. and Mrs. Moon,.
who are to have charge. moved in
a few days ago and are arranging
things about the premises so that
all inmates Will be assured of per
fecs comfort. and there will be as
little inconvenie nee to the direc-
ton and handling of affairs as pos
sible.
AT the present time there are
four inmates of the. home-persons
who have been cared for about the
city for some months past-and it is
reported that one or two others are
to be enrolled in a short time.
There are but six or eight sub
jects OF this character within the
boundary lines of Delta county and
this fact is good evidence of busi-
ness and financial conditions.

COULD COUNT PRINIAlRY's RIBS.

The great primary election sys-
TEN, another of Colorado's reform
political measuers. has been tried
out and it didn't yield grease enough
to fry a flea.
All the kings oxen; all the har-
messed elephants, bull moose and
jackasses couldn't drag out a grain
of evidence as large as a mustard
seed to prove that any candidate
nominated at the primary election
the voters other than the fact that
they had previously been suggested
at delegate convention.
The people had the privilege of
voting but they didn't vote. Some
who did, voted by fits and jerks,
skipping this or that office and
sometimes an entire group of off
ces.
Like the presidential primary, the
Colorado statewide primary'-and
great is the sound of it-has so far
to aid a certain number of the
smash the machine" politicians who
want to do a little machine work
themselves.
The great body of people who do
things; who are the nation itself,
can be depended uron to stay at
homo and give the politica reformer
his opportunity.
The primary vote Tuesday was
less than forty per cent of the
vote of the state and this in face
of the fact that there We're numer-
Gus candidates on the state ticket
to select from and that these can
didates had made almost a house-to-
house campaign all over the state.
In Delta county the busy condi-
tion Of the farmers offreed an ex-
cuses but in the towns there was
reason to expect a full Dem ocratic
vote beacuse of the opposition of
candidates for the different offices.
The Republicans were less interest
ed locally, because most of their
candidates were without opposition
Even then the vote of the towns
was less than fifty per cent.
The primary may grow in favor
and develop into something more
satisfactory, but. in the opinion
of the Independent. it will have tc
be divested of most of the many
frills the contraption has been dress

County Medical association in the
history Of that body was held in
this city a short time since ard
all who were present are Loud

treatment received at the hands OF

A number of very able addresses
were features of the program and
a banquet was one OF the attractive
parts, for the men of medicine are
all in good health and naturally
have a liking for good things TO
eat.
The visitors here for that occa-
sion included all the doctors from
Paonia. Hotckhiss, Cedaredge. Aus

ty with their wives. Most of the
attendants came in autos and were

CALIFdI.,NIA PRIMARIES.

California for the first time has
tried out the primary law system
known as the wisconsin Plan
The state senator's, assemblymen
and congressman were nominated
The successful cendidtaes, exclusive
of the congressman, will organize
into state convention and meet
in Sacramento three weeks henc
to select regular presidential cleo
tors. The election will result in so
nominees for the state senate from
each of the Republican. Democratic
and Socialist parties. The twenty
hold-over senator's will also act as
delegates to the state convention
of their own parties. The Repub-
licans say their nominees will win
in November despite the Progress
ives.
This opinion is based upon the
good showing made by the Taft Re-
publicans at the primaries.

be considered, are most unfortu-
nate.
The result may be an appeal to
national committees, or even the
courts. How the Republican state
and national committee would view
such a matter can easily be
guessed. How the Roosevelt nation
al committee would handle it, can
only be surmised by past instruc-
tions upon the subject.
1t is greatly to be hoped that
the situation can in some way be
.,armoniously adjusted. If it is not,
the logical result will be the cleo
ton of the Democratic state ticket,
and both the Taft Republicans and
Roosevelt Republicans will be left
in the cold. unless the political
popularity of some candidate should
be sufficient to win him victory.
The independent is 10th to see
these chanose taken. 1t would be
worse than foolish to regard the
outcome OF Tuesdays primaries as
final. The vote was insignificant
and indicated nothing except that
a majority CT the citizens were apa-
thetic regarding the primary, for
which there dobtless appeared to
them many good reasons
Certainly the matter is one that
will require careful and diplomatic
handling. At present the Demo-
Gratis of the state are the only ones
who can bs permitted to juggle It.

will be attended by all the young
men of Delta who are interested
in the upbuilding and going forward

to advertise TIL s section in every
way that can be conceived by it's
members. Vaii Us committees will
be appointed by the beard of Off
meeting the nineteenth and regular
meetings OF officers ard members
will be held i'm the future.

zaticn will be that when a prom
inent lnan CT party of men visit
the city, that they be shown about
the orchards ard farms of the COM
nit, and thus allow them to take
home with them an optimistic story
of our country. There is little
question but that the resources here
would be all the more appreciated
under such hospitable treatment
and the impression would be a last
ing one.
Sufficient charge will be made
fer tie banquet the 9th to pay ex-
penscs. All young men of the city

tive at the same time are so practical

new prettily shaped collars and con-
sists of just a kimono blouse and skirt
that are Joined by means of a belt.
1t is but n moments work to adjust 1t,
and 1t takes exceptionally graceful and
becoming lines. There are many mate
rails that are suited to such n garment,
but just now lawns, batistes and the
like are In especial demand This one
is made of dotted batiste with trimming
of valenciennes lace, and the belt is OF
wide beading threaded with ribbon to
match the dot. All white is pretty and
embroidered Swiss muslin makes charm
ing dresses of the kind and always is
dainty; for harder usage colored lawns
and the like are to be commended, ana
for cooler days challis would be pretty
made in this way. As the sleeves are
cut In one with the blouse 1t means
scarcely any labor for the making, ana
the skirt consists OF four cores. tine

ME-STORED FURS

In putting away furs it should be re-
membered that no storing is perfectly
safe for the entire summer Furs should
always be undone from their wrappings
in July or early in August and well aired
A thorough investigation should be made,
and a cane carpet-beater pressed into
service in order to see IL the cane de.
taches any pieces of fiuff.
In the case of a large number of furs
1t is worth while to isolate them, using a
wooden or tin trunk and lining 1t with
tarred paper. Failing n trunk, a good
substitute may be made of a deal case.
Large pieces of tar-lined paper should
be laid Mt the bottom and round the sides
of the box, and a sheet laid across the
top when the box is full, about three
inches of the paper protruding all round.
This should afterwards be nailed down
to the sides, so as to make the contents
as moth proof as possible. Brown HoI-
land bags are useful for muffs and stoles.
Each garment should be provided with
&c separate bag. If brown paper Is used
1t is a good plan to fnsten the sides of
the parcel with gum or paste, so as to-
ensure that 1t is moth-proof.
Opinions always differ a good deal as
regards moth p~reventives, Some people
pin their faith to camphor, some to
n%aphthaline. Insect powder is excellent
If literally used. Russia leather shaw.
ings, cedar wood, bitter apple and snn-
dal wood shayings are all TO be recon-
mended.

MRS. JOHN HAYS HAMMOND OFFERS
GOOD ADVICE TO MARRIAGEABLE GIRLS

, wife should first look to self-training.
She must so live and care for herself
as to keep her health. develop her char
acter and train her intellect, so far as
1t can be trained.
al women are not gifted with great
intellects, but II a woman has a fine,
! strong character, that will supplement
an average brain. Certainly 1t is better
to have moderate brains and fine char
acter than unusual brains and deficient
character.
Then make the right choice and stand
by II. That is a large part of bringing
up a successful husband, getting the
right husband material to work upon"
MI. Hammond, accounted the greatest
OF the worlds mining engineers. once
enjoined ten don'ts upon an audience
of young men interested In mines. With
marvellous readiness his wife recalled
these and pitted her own marriage
''don'ts' against them.
Mr.. Hammond said: Don't put money
into a mining property because a friend
has been fortunate in mining stock"
Don't marry a man for money" re-
| torted his wife. IF he has made 1t him
self he is probably old. If he is young
he has inherited II and is not fully de-
veloped. In either case you have poor
pickings.'
Don't be afraid to marry a man be-
cause he has been in low before. The
capacity for great love Is a gift, and
If a person who Is 40 or more says he
| hasn't been in love l shouldn't want to
marry him, for he would be a person
without affection. OF course, l didn't
have to solve that problem. l caught
mine so young.
! Don't let any other woman influence
| your Judgment in choice. Choose for
| yourself.
Don't accept any gifts except candy,
books and flowers and a mans heart
whole affection until the wedding day
or neal It."
Mining rule No. 5 was: Don't buy
stock in a mine because II has produced
millions In the past. 1t is that much
poorer" Marriage rule No. s was:
Don't marry a man for ancestry alone,
for stock un out"
Don't buy just because the mine is In
a far-off country" was the next nugget
| of mining wisdom. Don't marry a for
eigner, 1t requires a sacrifice of individu-
atty was the gem of marital wisdom.
! Don't buy simply because it adjoins a
