War Situation, a. Home and Abroad.

At the time OF going to press there
can be said to be title of change in
either the strike situation in Colorado
CT the war situation in Mexico.
The striking forces are holding out
and claim they can do so for the next
five years. Gov. Ammons talks of an
extra session OF the legislature and TO
invoke federal aid If necessary. TO
handle the strike. Upon the part of the
miners they threaten statewide
strike.
In Mexico the situation is much the
same, growing perhaps a little more
tense. II President Wilson does not
succeed soon in amicably effecting a
settlement, Independent suggests that
he turn Texas loose. II wouldn't take
them boys long to start something, or
to finish 1t. either.

TIGERS OF GRAND JUNCTION
WON AGAINST DELTA

The Grand Junction Tigers, the foot
ball team that had not been secured
against this year until last Saturday,
and the girls basketball team of the
Mesa metropolis. came in on a special
train at about eleven o'clock last Sat
urday morning accompanied by over a
hundred boosters and rooters to con-
test for honors with our high school
teams, and it can confidently be said
that %here was almost if not altogether
as much sorrow for the Tigers in the
result of the battle as if complete de-
feat had come to them for they had
offered to wager that Delta would not
score.
The game started off briskly at 2:30
in the afternoon on the Garnet mesa
grounds before an audience of fully
three hundred people, but it was plain
ly noted from the very outset that the
visitors were too much in weight and
too skillel in play for our team to win.
The locals were held down to a zero
mark for the first half but in the sec
ollu went tHt WI NAeh A~-
newed energy and effort and were sue
cessful in closing the game with a
score of 26 to in favor of the visit
ors. And this was the first time the
junction team had permitted score
to go against them.
With the basketball contest at the
opera house in the evening it was
different: it always is. Delta girls
always take treir games and they did
this one by a score OF 1e to Is before
an enthusiastic audience OF nearly four
hundred people. The contest was
spirited from start to finish and
one OF the best that has ever
been pulled off in this city. A recep-
tion AMI dance followed the contest
and the visitors departed for their
homes at IL o'clock.

The Nashville Students.

Delta was treated to one good show
this week by the Nashville Students.
troup. The audience is inclined to
wonder why such combination of
professionals is travelling under the
student name. This was explained to
Independent as follows: The present
company has grown from period of
twenty-five years ago, when il was the
custom OF the governor of Tennessee
to award prize of a world trip to
graduate winning certin marks. From
the regulation college aggregation OF
musicians finally became established
the student minstrels. who. with their
college start. soon became famous
stars. Five of the members who ap-
peared in Delta had been students of
the Nashville institution of learning.
Not often has a Delta audience been
privileged to witness as much real
merit crowded into one entertainment
as was giveSahem in Tuesday nights
performance. 1t was clean show
without dull moment.
