Good Time to Talk
Sugar Factory

Much effort has been put forth dur
ing the past five or six years to get
beet sugar factory at Delta.
So much. in fact. that the subject
seems old and worn every time one
attempts to talk on it.
But. there never has been a time
when the matter of sugar factory
at Delta was not one of the impor-
tant as well as one Of the most live
questions our papers or our people
could discuss.
Delta has been an open and an in
viting field for a sugar factory for
more than five years, and during all
of that time. as it is today. the hinder
ing influence has been the old tub OF
a factory at Grand Junction. to make
whose operation possible, this terri
tory has had to raise the beets.
In the Northern part of the state
there are numerous factories. and we
read Interestingly Of some $4,000
having just been distributed among
the farmers over there in single
months payment for beets grown
this year. Our factory claimed they
couldn't make any money and cut
down the acreage to West Slope
supply OF sugar output.
Now We have the soil and the water.
Our farmers can and viii raise all the
beets a big local factory can use, if
paid a price at which they can grow
them at a profit.
Sugar is higher than ever before in
the history OF production in this state.
The war In Europe promises to cut off
much of the sugar crop over there
for next year at least, and even the
Democrats see the necessity OF put
ting the tariff back.
With all this before us. does II not
seem like better time than ever be-
fore to make some effort to interest
capital in a sugar factory here?

Editor Perry, of the Hotchkiss Her
aid. who was operated on at the Delta
hospital last week. left that institu-
tion Monday and boarded the evening
train for home, being in the hospital
exactly seven days. While this is al
most a record case for speed, it is no
more than should be expected of a
newspaper man. One of the results
of this operation proves absolutely
false the oft-repeated story that an
editor has no appendix-just sort

pointed places with credit to
themselves.
THE question of choosing
friends, like the question of using
paint on ones face, is not a ques-
ton of morals, but one of taste,
but one cannot rectify ones mis-
takes in friends as easily as one
can wash off the rouge of ones
cheeks IL one finds. that ones
taste has changed.
THE friends you make as a
young girl are the ones that usu-
ally determine your social posi-
ton in life, and | have known
many a mother that made the
grievous error of allowing her
daughter to pick up and become
intimate with chance acquaint-
ances. Oftentimes one makes
very delightful friends inform
ally, but, as a rule, one should,
when young, be very careful in
choosing ones companions.

II strongly object to your 60

with people that are as conspicu-
Gus as those you were with to-
night, and | can't understand how
mother let you CO." said Dick to
Mollie as we entered our room.
Now look here, Dick" spoke
up Mollie, you must not take
that tone with me; | am quite old
enough to take care of myself,
and | know that Mr.. and Mrs.
Seutor are very respectable"
They may be deadly respect
able, my dear Mollie, but to be
seen with them often or even once
or twice will queer you with all
the people | want you to go with
and the people you will wish to
know"
81 can't see why you object to
them" rebelliously continued
Mollie; you, Margie, stood up
for Jacks chorus girl"
"Well, my dear, Jacks chorus
girl, as you call her, was most
refined and inconspicuous. She
showed birth and breeding. and
although | don't like to judge
anyone | would say that the Seu-
tors were good enough in their
way, but, my dear, their way is
not ours
"Margie! I never thought you
were a snob," Indignantly cried
Mollie.
"And | don't think l am" was
my retort. at isn't a question of
goodness, Mollie dear, it is a
question of where you want to
be placed in your path of life. II

pie that make you happiest--the
kind of people that appeal to you
as those you would wish to be
your friends, then | feel that

she was bored to death with the

the curiosity of youth and it is
