Mr.. r. Mitchell. who has been in
Delta for several years, left yester-
day for his home in Detroit. Michigan.
Mr. Mitchell's case is one of great
interest, particularly his home-going.
He came to Delta in the clutches of
tuberculosis and received but small
benefit from climatic changes other
than, perhaps prolonging of life.
Recently he sought to obtain the
Friedman treatment. but could not do
so. He did. however, get the Pior-
prowsk serum. just before the gov
ernment stopped its distribution, and
has recently completed the test OF
that serum, with which he is greatly
gratified. Mr.. Mitchell came in yes
terday to announce his departure and
arrange for continuation of visits
from Independent. His face was full
of color. his bearing erect and step
active, and the change was so great
that we had to ask his name. not be-
ing able to recongnize at once In the
hopeful looking man the hitherto de-
spondent cast of II. Mitchell. owner of
a chicken ranch on Garnet mesa. Mr..
Mitchell has made many friends while
in Delta. all OF whom will wish him
prosperity and permanent restoration
to good health.

being In subsection. She said that
democracy is supposed TO be gov
eminent of the people by the people.
and that women should be given the
right vote.

'Womans worst enemy is not man.
asserted Miss Glasgow. but it is wo-
man" She declared that woman had
submitted to every indignity for 50
long that she is knocked off of the
PEDESTAL on which she stands. "Wo-
men are just awakening and a new
light is dawning for them. Victory for
the cause Of woman's suffrage can he
seen coming from a distance" Miss
Glasgow asserted that the women
were not asking a favor Of the men,

phasis. MANY declare that the wo-
men should spend more of their time
at home. Has she not been driven
from there by the inventions of man.
At one time the clothes were spun at
home by the women. but now they are
woven in factories.
Days of Chivairy.
Miss Glasgow told Of the days of
chivalry, when she said, a man could
kill his wife and escape with fine,
but when a woman murdered her hus-
hand she would have to pay for it
with her blood She declared that
the only way for a woman TO con-
vince a man that she Is right is to
prove that he is wrong.

taxed to its entire capacity, number
Of the hearers having TO stand in the
