BETTER ACCOMMODATIONS FOR
THE HELP AOAvOCTED

There is good deal OF talk nova
days about the scarcity OF help on
the farms and as is the usual case In
such matters there must be some
underlying reason for II all. OF course
we know that there are number OF in.
dolent hoboes of the J. w. w. stripe
who do not propuse to work under
any stress Of circumstances but there
are other and more worthy men who
do not go to the ranches because of
the unpropitious conditions that exi1'
there.
An old cowboy of Wyoming who
would like to see betterment of these
conditions writes: ''If the farmers will
build comfortable quarters for their
help. and make them feel that they
have home as long as they work
there. they will very soon find men
who will take an interest in their
work and the farmer will be doubly
paid for the extra Accommodations"
Everybody will have TO admit the
truth of this simple sophistry and no
doubt II followed the problem of get
ting a supply OF competent ranch
hands would soon be solved. The fact
that the promoters and uplifters are
spending large sums OF money in the
preparation OF statistics and the print.
ing Of circulars. pamphlets and books
for the purpose OF inducing a desir-
able class of such settlers to come

would predicate that some attention
ought to be given to the question OF
suitable Accommodations for those

WESTERN SLOPE TOURNAMENT
AT MoNTRosE WILL BE GOOD

Indications are pointing to the fact
that the coming baseball tournament
at Montrose on August 27, 2S, 30 and
30, will be in class of amateur tase
ball by themselves.
Four teams have entered namely,
Paonia. Somerset, Monte Vista and
Delta, beside the home team-Mont-
rose. Prizes aggregating $3.50 have
been put up, and this alone will put
ginger enough into the competing
teams to make the fan, whoever he
or she is. smile.
Delta, OF course, naturally expects
to walk off with the plum. but the
way Montrose is lambasting us hero
lately, this question Is prob!ematicaI.
At any rate our home boys are conf
dent that they will come on top.
Eight games are to be played In all.
Tickets for the entire season NAV ne
secured for less than the regular 9, C
admission.
In September Delta is to have their
tournament and all teams entering in
the Montrose lineup will probably sign
up for the affair here.

An Open Letter
to County Voters

On August 1, 1916, was named, with
others by the Republican assembly for
the office of County Clerk and Re-
corder.
My nomination upon the Republican
ticket is subject to the choice of the
voters at the Primaries to be held
September 10, 1916.
The office of County Clerk is an
important one. 1t demands judgment,
care, and trained mind to be handled,
as our State Constitution implies.
Over thirty years ago l identified
myself with Delta County. My home
and practically all of my interests are
here, and have been for years.
If elected, ECONOMY and EFFI-
CIENCY shall dominate the work of
the office.
Very respectfully,
