Contracts Being Signed
for Delta Sugar Factory

One of the most interesting sugar
factory meetings ever assembled in
Delta was that held at the opera house
last Saturday afternoon. which was
attended by severl hundred beet
growers.
!. B. Richart acted as chairman of
the meeting. After short talks by
several local growers. the printed
form OF contract was submitted. read
and carefully considered. and proved
generally acceptable to the growers.
One OF the strong arguments set
forth by any speaker was that of Mr..
Geo. w. Bruce. who cited that. with
the necessary amount of these CON
tracts signed for acreage. it would
prove the means OF securing factory
at Delta, even though the plans OF
Mr.. Darley with capitalists should
fail to materialize, as promised" and
this would, in all probability, prove
true. as the local association here
formed. would have the most valuable
asset to offer which factory builders
could ask
Mr.. J. +. Moore, prominent local
grower and committeeman, assured
the growers that the committee was
satisfied regarding the ability and
honesty OF intentions OF the people

The time for discussion and sign
ing OF acreage contracts was some

than one-third OF the required acre.

solidly welded system for marketing
all Colorado fruit through central
selling agency, which is to be in con-
stant touch with the several compo-
nent districts with the intregal asso-
citation having power to enforce
standard methods throughout the
grading packing and shipping OF the
fruit is the aim and the task OF
committee of fruit growers appointed
at meeting of state fruit men here

The plan is to combine all of the
fruit districts into a union working
for the solid uplift of Colorados fruit
industry on a sound. business-like
and hustling basis to simplify mar
keting; to insure safer marketing;
standardize all departments of fruit
culture and shipments.
A resolution outlining the commit

follows
Resolved. That this meeting rec

as speedily as possible. organize either
by contractural combination with
out the change of identity or by
amalgamation, or otherwise, a cen

with power to enforce standard box,
pack and grades and with the view
of uniting with other similar organi-
cations in adopting such standards
and as soon as may be, of organizing
still more complete distributing
agency at least statewide"
The meeting was very enthusiastic
and the program outlined previously
in The Sentinel was closely adhered

Runaway Team Wrecks Wagon

The children of Mr.. and Mrs. Car

had a runaway at about noon yester-
day which terminated in a complete
wrecking fthe light spring wagon
but from which the little folks escap-

fright at some object on Grand street
and began mad race down the thor

control and post in front of the 5.

out upon the lawn. The horse kick

distance and stopped. The little folks
gathered themselves up from the
lawn after a good tumble and seem
ed not a little amused at the expert
ence. One little fellow remarked;
Gee. wasn't that going some?" and

sign more acres if required to make
up the amount and one land owner
who did not sign at all. said he would
sign up 100 acres if needed.
The general interest was commen-

have been expected among intelligent

BOYS AND HOPES.

There were already two kites in the
sky, but the boy down in the vacant
lot could not make his kite fly. 1t was
a good looking kite, about three feet
long and covered with red and blue
paper, but it would not fly. He had
wasted all day Saturday on 1t, TOO
and had expected that it would leap
from his hands and rush headlong Tor

he tried and finally ran into gust Oh
wind with a tremendous effort. Some
thing broke and the kite crumpiec

Once upon a time a boy worked for
two days making sailboat. When
he went to sail 1t the pond was frozen.
He hurried home and made an ice
boat. When he tried to sail the ice
boat the wind was so strong that it
broke the sail. He hurried home again
and made a kite. The same boy
made dozens of aeroplanes, and with
each one that failed to fly new idea
came to him, and if there was any
regret 1t was lost in the enthusiasm
for the new model.

Since its introduction into the Uni
ted States, the sales of Partisan Sage
have been phenomenal. This success
has led to many limitations. Look out
for them, get the genuine. See that
the girl with the Auburn hair is on
every package.
Partisan Sage is the quickest act
ing and most efficient hair tonic in
the world.
1t is made to conform to DR.. Sang
erbond's (of Paris) proven theory that
dandruff, falling hair, badness and
scalp itch are caused by germs.
Partisan Sage kills these dandrun
germs and removes all trace of dan
druff in two weeks, or money back
it stops falling hair and itching scalI
and prevents badness.
And remember that badness is caused
bv dandruff germs, those little har'
working, persistent devils that day an
night do nothing but dig into the root
of the hair and destroy its vitality.
Partisan Sage is dainty perfume
hair dressing; not sticky or greas!

and bewitching hair can get 1t In tW

A SONG OF LONG AGO.

A song of long ago
Sing it lightly-sing it low
Sing it softly-like the lisping of the
lips we used to know
When our baby laughter spilled
From the glad hearts ever. filled
With music glad as robin ever trilled!
Let the fragrant summer breeze,
And the leaves of locust trees
And the apple buds and blossoms and
the wings of honey bees,
All palpitate with glee,
Till the happy harmony
Brings back each childish joy to you
and me.
1-
Let the eyes of fancy turn
Where the tumbled pippins burn
Like embers in the orchards lap OF
tangled grass and fern
There let the old path wind
In and out and on behind
The cider press that chuckles as we
grind.
Blend in the song the moan
OF the dove that grieves alone,
And the wild whir of the locust, and
the BUNDLES droWsy droae;
And the low Of COWS that call
Through the pasture bars when all
The landscape fades away at eVenlali
Then. far away and clear,
Through the dusky atmosphere,
Let the wailing of the kildee be In
only sound we hear;
q. sad and sweet and low,
As the memory may know, !
Is the glad pathetic song of Long Ago
