WHY?
Comm unicated).

1t is a matter of curiosity and
comment both in the town and from
other places in the county, as shown
by the numerous telephone calls, as
to why in a recent trial by Jury,
the verdict should have been render
ed not guilty in spite of the over
whelming and conclusive evidence
to the contrary, and the earnest and
forceful plea of the prosecution.
Why should the trial have been
rushed through when it was known
that parties were on their way there.
with still more convincing evidence?
Many of us have worked for years
to make our beautiful little city
cleaner and safer place morally
for young men and women, and
when we have an ordinance for their
protection, we can but protest
against the decision of a jury in
which the wishes of the law-abid-
ing, God-fearing citizens is deliber-
ately set aside and trampled under
foot.

NEW DIRECTORY OF MONT
ROSE COUNTY Is JUST OUT.

F. A. Mckinney, the directory
man, is in the city distributing the
new Montrose city and county di-
rectory. A carefully compiled and
neatly printed and bound directory
is one of the important assets of a
city, and no one is more competent
to furnish this than Mr.. Mckinney.
The new book contains about 200
pages, and includes Montrose, Olathe,
Bed Rock, Cedar Greek, Cimarron,
Colona, Coventry, Maher, Naturita,
Nucla, Paradox, Redvale and Uran-
ium, also the two rural routes from
Montrose and the two rural routes
from Olathe, with a complete al
phabetical list of the business firms
and private citizens. Also miscel-
laneaus directory of the city and
county officials, state government,
churches, schools, societies, trades
and labor organizations, and com
plete street and avenue guide.
An accurate census of the city
was taken when the canvass was
made for this book, showing the
census to be 1868, against 1924
a little over a year ago.
The wide-awake publisher ex-
changes these directories with all
the other leading directory publish
ers of the country, and the book
may also be found in the libraries OF
all important cities, so that the coun'
ty is under obligations to Mr.. NC
Kinney for the real authentic no.

rectory, than through any other
source.

Frank Du Cray here tonight. Sell

Du Cray does not seem to be
worried, but, nevertheless, he knows
that If he defeats Delivuk his ability
will receive recognition greater than
his victory over any other wrestler
in this city.
Delivuk ought to win. He has
beaten George Gion, he has made a
better showing against Roller than
has Duke, and has won from Tommy
Ryan as easily as has the local man.

Information that a sorority il

ing the rumOrS, coming from the
fact that society called the

sorority dance next Tuesday
night in Margcry hall, and that
the board is going To warn all
parents of members.
There are rules in black and white
that there shall be no secret socie-
ties in high school. We will enforce
these rules to the lette rnext fall,
and the present is the best time to
warn the members and their parents
that they will not be allowed to at

to have the trouble in our high
school that the Denver schools are
experiencing, and if this can be nip
ped in the bud we will not have the
trouble" said Mr.. Sampliner this

The board will be positive on this
ruling said Mr.. Sampliner. Il do
not believe high school sorority is
in keeping with our democratic
school system. and 1t creates a social
clique that is undesirable. owing
largely to its secrecy. Although we
have no jurisdiction over the pupils
in the vacation, we will have when

1t is understood that several of
the members of the society are high

been contemplated by the society, as
