intelligent, frugal citizens is wise and
intelligent.
My father and mother said when
they sent me to school that they
wanted me to make something" of
myself. What was that something?
That something" was the schools
ideal. To reach this goal, this So
cial ideal, the schools insisted that
we study everything that was not di-
rected toward skilled and intelligent
labor. To make something" was
to study abstraction and get away
from those things that we were &C.
customed to on the farm. Fifteen
or sixteen years ago there
came to Louisiana well-dressed
business man, who said to Mr.. Jones,
small farmer who had several hun
dred acres of timber: "You have
got some old trees here which look
pretty fair; will give you q dollar
an acre for them if you do not say
anything about it." Mr.. Jones, who
had not been taught the value of
timber, said to the intelligent, value
seeking stranger: you don't mean
that you will give me a dollar an acre
for the timber which I have been
praying would blow OFF," II mean
it," said the stranger, trained in
values, and on the next day they
went to the parish seat and had the
deal made. This and similar in
stances happened all over the timber
belt of our great State. l ask again,
what has been the result? The tim

zens of the country, but to the peo-
pie who have come from abroad, and
|non-residents. say again, we are
teaching the proper things in our
schools. If Mr.. Jones and the thous-
ands of other Southern men had
been taught properly they would not
have sold these great forests for al
most song.
But you will say that l need not
talk about this now; that the forests
are all gone. Our rich lands are go
ing just as fast and just the same
way.

say, that we Southern people ought
to be able to trade with these new
corners intelligently. We ought to
know the value of land, timber, and
live stock. Our farmer knows how to
grow cane, cotton and other things,
but he does not know now to market
it. He does not understand the law
OF cooperation. Our education
should give him cooperative train
ing and commercial knowledge that
would enable him to dispose of what
he has for the very best price. l
would not destroy or take away from
the course OF study everything that
has been taught in former years, but
1 would place in it those things
which teach the value of our re-
sources. 1t is not question of
whether we ought to do it, but we
must do it in self-defense. If this
is not done our boys and girls must
necessarily become laborers for the
men who are coming into this coun-
try; we need them-but let our boys
and girls become shareholders in this
great development of our lands.

DELTA G. n. q. BOYS RETURN
FROM THE WYOMING TRIP.

The local company of the Colo
RADIO National Guard, which left Del
ia about three weeks ago for Pole
Hill. Wyoming. for field practice
and camp experience, completed its
junketing trip last Friday and some
twelve or fifteen of the thirty mem
bers arrived home Monday and Tues
day, among the number being First
Lieutenant Edwin Claybaugh, who
was in charge when the company
left here.
A member of the company was
seen by an Independent scribe
shortly after his arrival home and
it was learned that all enjoyed the
trip from start to finish, except
ing perhaps, the bill-of-fare, which
was just what a soldier gets when
in actual service.
A sham battle was had at a field
experience, in which the Delta COM
pany gave chase to a company of
colored regulars from the Wyoming
fort for a distance of II miles. This
was one of the most intere sting and
exciting parts of the field work,
for charges were made and firing in
dulged in. There was no bloodShed
in this battle, but, however, the
boys say they saw killing one day
when two of the colored soldiers got
into an altracation and one of the
pair produced razor and slashed at
his adversary's neck until the head
was nearly severed. The murderer
was turned over to the civil author
tiles at Laramie.
The Delta company messed" with
the Fort Morgan boys and found the
East Slope boys a fine lot of fel-
lows. They had excellent cooks and
could have lived well if Uncle Sam
had furnished better supplies but
their Uncle Sam only provides the
regular service goods for these hik-
ipg trips.

DELTA'S NEW DEPOT TO
BE BEST ON THE SLOPE
The New Structure at Montrose Is
in Advance of Us But Delta
Gains by Experiences.

In recent interview with Sup
erintenedent Rocwell of the Denver
& Rio Grande system, who made a
tour of this district a few days ago
in his private car, Senator Stephan
learned that all plans have been def
nitely made for the new depot in
this city. 1t is not given out as
yet, however, that the new struc-
ture will be put in at once, but is
stated that hte new building will ma
terialize during the early part of
next year.
Superintendent Rocwell says that
while the new depot at Montrose is
good building and that it is of
ample size for present needs. yet it
has already been demonstrated that
it should have been larger and more
complete in order to meet future
and greater demand. This knowledge
he said, would result in Delta get
ting a much larger and better rail-
road home, and officials have al
ready decided on this point.
The new structure is to be To-
Gated at the foot of Eaton aveune,
some $50 or 200 feet this side of
the old depot, and all tracks over
where the main line now extends.
In short, there will be no tracks on
the city side to interfere with ped
estrians or vehicles, as is now
the case.
The old depot will be removed to
point just west of the present To-
cation and be used for freight pur-
poses. MIR. Rocwell stated that his
company realizes that Delta is
one of its best shipping points and
that it is in need of better de-
pot and that they will furnish us
just what we need in this line-a
depot that will be second to none
on the Western Slope.
