The farmers throughout the county
are just now very busy in the potato
harvest, Laborers are in extra demand
and scarcely obtainable at any price.
Several have had to resort to Japs,
not from choice, but from compulsion,
finding it impossible to secure white
help.
II is good to know that the Delta
people are now talking of a road be-
tween Delta and Glenwood over the
Grand mesa and via Collbran, Divide
creek and New Castle. Go in for it,
neighbors, for all You are worth. 1t
will benefit Glenwood quite as mucn
as Delta and will be greatly appre
ciated by us all.
All of the Glenwood merchants have
reported tremendous sale of fruit
Jars this summer. The immense amount
of fruit and the cheapness of the same
has been an incentive to the thrifty
housewife to make the best use of It
and Glenwood can boast of more home
made canned fruit than ever before.

Isaac Baer of Meeker spent Thursday
in Glenwood, going from here to Dot
Inl
of fat beef for the Denver market. MIR.
Baer thinks the people of this district
will make great mistake if they fail
send Frank Sheridan to the state
senate. That's the way almost every
one talks who has had the pleasure of
Sheridan s acquaintance.
A petition signed by nearly two hun
dred voters who did not participate in
the primary election has been filed
with the secretary of state, placing the
name of Frank E. Sheridan of Meeker
on the progressive ticket for state sen
ator. A like petition has been filed
naming Judge Beardsley and J. f. Eth
ell as candidates for district Judge and
district attorney on the progressive
ticket.
