Carpenter Ate a Nail

Single nails may become part of
an Alberta mans daily diet in case
an experiment of this kind tried out
last Sunday proves successful. Harold
Gulbranson is going about the streets
this week with a full-size shingle
nail in his stomach and says he feels
no i'll effects.
Saturday Gulbranson filled his mouth
with nails while at work on a car
penrer's job. He wanted to make
fast time and save his hand a trip into
his apron pocket each time he wanted
a nail. One of the nails slipped into
his throat and remained there till
Sunday afternoon. All efforts to dis
lodge the. nail proved fruitless and as
last resort Harold pushed it down
into his stomach just as DR.. Game did
with a piece of meat which recently
lodged in Tom Anderson's throat.
The operation was painless and save
the expense of having a doctor doing
the job. Harold doesn't fear poison

To the Housewife

Madam. if your husband is like
most men he expects yuu to look after
the health of yourself and children.
Coughs and colds are the most COM
mon of the minor ailments and are
most likely to lead to serious diseases.
A child is much more likely to con-
tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when
it has a cold. If you will inquire in
to the merits of the various remedies
that are recommended for coughs and
colds, you will find that Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy stands high in the
estimation of people who use it. 1t
is prompt and effectual. pleasant and
safe to take. which are qualities espe.
ciaIly to be desired when medicine
is intended for children. For sale by

Afternoon for Farmers

The Alberta commercial club will
give another of their delightful enter
tainments to their farmer friends Sat.
urday afternoon next week when a
social program will be carried out at
the opera house. Invitations are be.
ing sent out today and it is expected
several hundred people will respond.
Last month the commercial club
gave the first entertainment of this
kind and the opera house proved en-
tirely too small to accommodate the
numbers who came. Those who failed
to get in on the event last month
will be remembered this time and if
there are any who miss the call they
will be included on the next event
which will come later in the spring.
The committee in charge of the en-.
tertainment program for next week
have not completed the program to-
day but it has been decided to heac
the list with high class moving
picture performance. Vocal and in
strumental music will be part of thu
amusement features. and there viii
be speeches by nome people. It i
also probable that speaker from thu
Agricultural school will be secured.

Welcome for Strangers
Alberta Business Man Tells Of
Good Plan to Follow When
New People Arrive

Quite a number Of new people are
coming here this spring and more are
on the way. Within the past month
many changes both in the country and
in Alberta village have been noticed
and this prompted a we'll known busi-
ness man to deliver a little sermon on
sociability that is also a sermon on
boosting. "We welcome strangers
and we tell them so." he said. "We
want people to come here and live
among US and we will make them
feel welcome when they come.
If everyone in Alberta did the same
thing it would not be long before the
little village would have reputation
far and wide as desirable place in
which to live. "Once I went into
town to live and if had to go
back there again l would prefer
DEATH" said the b. m. "From the
first to the last day l was there I was
regarded as stranger by the citizens
of the town. This is the social at
mosphere that surrounds most of the
old communities. We are glad to
say this is not the case in Alberta.
Every stranger that comes here is
assumed to be gentleman until he
proves the contrary
A good plan to follow, he thinks,
would be for everyone to go right up
to the strangers the first time you
meet them, introduce yourself, and
tell them who you are and how glad
you are to see them come here. Wish
them success. Let them know right
away they can count themselves very
fortunate in having cast their lot in
Stevens county and Alberta especially.
These people have left their old COM
munities and have come to new sur.
roundings and new conditions. They
are naturally easily frightened With
something they do not understand
The class of people who come tt
Stevens county now days are worth
cultivating, and the sentiments of the
Alberta business man are right.

The Sjofartstidende (Shipping News)
says: "The maintenance of our
shipping means not only an indispen-
sable source of income to Norway, but
it is the only means of keeping fam
inc out of the country. If our ship
ping were stopped we would lose a
gross income of $135,000 day, and
exports to the value of $270,000 a day
would be shut off. This would also
shut down the factories and the
mines An interruption of our ship
ping trade would Immediately throw
us into condition worse than that
experienced q hundred years ago.
The maintenance of our shipping de-
Ponds mainly on those on board the
ships. Their task is more dangerous
than before and far more difficult
than it used to be. 1t is a great hon
or to our navigators that we have not
lost larger number of ships during
the dark, stormy autumn nights, sail
ing without the guide of lights and
often running the risk of striking
land on one side or mines on the
other. Great courage, skill, self-sacri-
flee and fidelity are manifested on
board Norwegian ships at the present
time. 1t must be said that those who
have remained on board and done
their duty during these times deserve
the gratitude of the nation"

SERVICE MAN
EXPECTED IN VALLEY SOON

At the meeting of the board of di-

tion Saturday it developed that Mr.
Ferrell, the agricultural man of the
Reclamation service and the agri-
cultural department is expected to
visit the Uncompahgre project early
in this month to arrange for the ex-
pert which is to be placed on this pro-
ject by the government. At the pre-
vious meeting of the water users as
sociation the sentiment was expressed
in favor of a general agricultural
man for this project. On Mr.. Ferrells
arrival he will make a careful inves-
tigation of the situation, hold meet
ings and secure as nearly as possible
the general sentiment as to the kind
of man wanted and If he has such
a man on his list will place him here
Immediately. In the meantime it
would be well for the farmers under
the project to be considering the mat
ter so that they will be prepared
to make an intelligent recommend

COURT DECISION
FAVOR CITY OF DELTA

The case of The City of Delta vs.
Edward Healey, case to condemn a
right of way in the bed of the I'm
compahgre river through Mr.. Healey's
land and also to condemn waters of
the Uncompahgre for sewage pur-
poses, was tried by a jury before
Judge Shackleford in the district court
in 1910 when Haley was given judg-
ment for $4,015.
The case was appealed by Haley,
on the grounds that the city had no
right to pollute the waters of nat
ural stream, although desiring that
the city should pay the judgment.
For some reason the city failed to
perfect their appeal and was not in
position to reply to the contention
of defendant before the supreme
court. However, when the present
commissioners were elected move
was made to have the city represented
in this cause in the supreme court
The city attorney, Fl. J. Baird of
Delta, and l. N. Stevens, city attorney
of Denver, were permitted to appear
as friends of the court and an oral
argument was made before that tri-
bunal on March Is last.
