lege, have given their approval of the
this legislation is to completely fed
eralize the National Guard for all pur-
poses. The pay bill provides a regu-
lar compensation for all National
guardsmen at the rate of 25 per cent
of the pay for regular soldiers of like
grades. The commissioned officers
receiving 20 per cent. This will mean
pay of about $50 a year to each en-
listed man, corporate and sergeants
receiving an advance bevond that
sum according to their rank. Such
legislation will place the guard on an
entirely new footing and it will be
placed under the direct control of the
President and Secretary of War in
stead of the governors of states.
The Army and Navy Journal, the
leading military and naval authority
in the United States, has the follow
ing to say on this subject:
An amendment to the militia pay bill
designed to federalize the National
Guard and overcome the constitutions
al objection to this has been proposed
in the general staff. II is proposed to
organize and pay the National Guard
under the Hay volunteer army act.
with the exception that the militia will
enter the federal service in times of
peace instead of waiting f,r dccla-
ration OF war. The Nationa, Guard
would be permitted to volunteer as or
ganizations. and would be entitled to
pay as fixed by the bills introduced by
Chairman Chamberlain and Chairman
Hay. The volunteer army act provides
that the president upon recommenda.
ton of the governors of the different
state shall appoint the company Off.
GERS of the National Guard and the
officers OF the higher grades upon the
advice and consent of the senate. This
would mean that the war department
would fix the standards of examina-
tions and methods of training the Of
ficers and men of the National Guard.
II would effectually federalize the Ma
tional Guard and place It under the
jurisdiction of the president and cong
ress. except that 1t would take its
training at its present stations and
would not be called away from home
except in the event Of war.

Farmers Discuss
Beet CROWNS

According to reports just coming
from the Crawford district a meeting
of the farmers of that place was re-
Gently held in that town for the pur-
pose of discussing sugar beet culture
and it was clearly demonstrated at
that meeting that all or at least a good
majority of the farmers are anxious
to get into the game
The soil in that district is capable
of producing superior quality Of sugar
beets. according to statements of the
farmers, and all they need is a means
of transportation to the Delta fac
tory.
To handle this acreage of beets it
would be necessary for the sugar COM
pany to build railroad spur from
Hotchkiss to Crawford There is no
doubt that the required acreage will
be signed up in the event that the
railroad spur is assured.

SOn-in-laW of
Delta Man Killed

By a telegraphic message received
in this city on Tuesday it is learned
that Lawrence Little, 35 years of age
and a son-in-law of G. w. Montgom-
merry who resided on Garnet mesa ons
mile distant from Delta until lasi
month when he and his family remoy-
ed to Cloud Chief, Oklahoma, was
killed in that city when his wagon
overturned and fell upon him with
crushing force on the 12tn Of this
month.
Details of the accident are not oh
tainable at this time, but it is infe,
red that the team he was driving be
came fractions and ran away. The
unfortunate young man had visited il
Delta several times during the resi-
dence here of his father-in-law and
family and he, therefore, became ac-
quainted with many Delta people.

HISSoNG OF CRAWFORD
MUST ACCEPT PENALTY

Last August Merle Hissong, owner
and manager of a pool and billiard
hall at Crawford was found guilty of
selling intoxicants over the counters
in his place of business, in the coun-
ty court, and was given sentence of
six months in the county jail by Judge
Dingman.
Then the legal representatives of
Hissong made an appeal to the Colo
rado supreme court for reversal of the
decision. Hissong had government
license in his possession and it was
doubtless thought that this might act
in his favor even if he had fractured
the laws of dry territory. Not SO,
however, for the higher court has just
decided to let the decision of the
trial court remain as it is and Hissong
is thus facing term of prison life
The supreme court reported its ac-
ton to Deputy District Attorney C. H.
Stewart of this city on Monday.

lively pursued in order to insure its
capture. whereupon condign punish
ment which their crime deserves will

RadOnSki Colony
Scheme Outlined

Last week Independent reported the
presence here of Mr.. A. w. Radomski
from Chicago who was making a per.
sonal inspection of lands under the
uncompahgre project in this district
with George w. Bruce, and his pur-
pose was to get some idea OF condi-
tions for at least one hundred families
of Lithuanians who were desirous OF
establishing new homes In this part
of the west
Mr.. Radomsh talked with a number
OF our farmers and fruit growers and
before departing for his home he ex-
pressed himself as we'll pleased with
the land and all other conditions. He
says that the Lithuanians are good
farmers and he feels certain that they
can do well on forty-acre tracts.
I'VE will not send any OF these pei
pie here unless they have at least
$1,000 to invest" said Mr. Radomski,
and most of them will have consider
ably more"
One of the principal questions upon
which the matt.-s hinges is the reason
ableness OF terms upon which the land
may be secured. II the people can
get the square deal" which Mr.. Bian-
chard has so frequently emphasized in
his discussion Of government coopera-
ton in the settlement of the project,
one OF the most important OF the pos
sible distractions will have been re
moved.
The Lithuanians are of the higher
class of citizens from Russia They
live in the provinces near the Baltic
sea and are really part of Ola Poland
in their old home which they have
left in the past fifty or sixty years
they were small farmers. exemplifying
diversification to a marked degree and
using methods which come so hard to
the American farmer in preventing the
working OUT OF farms. Conservation
of fertility is well understood by them
and while they raise sugar beets. the,
are not exclusive beet growers by an,
means.
With the government cooperating.
all interested in the enterprise are
striving to insure by inspection of the
land and by selection of settlers, that
there will be no question about the
success of each colonist who comes
to the valley and locates under the
project.

From Cedared8e

The Delta basketball teams. one of
boys and one OF girls. were extremely
jubilant last Friday night when they
arrived home from Cedaredge. They
had contested the Cedaredge high
school teams that evening before a
large and enthusiastic crowd and won.
Both teams had battled to victory
in their games and they had per-
feet right to feel high spirited. In
years past, in fact, almost always. but
one OF tho teams would come home
with new honors, but this time the
work was complete.
The score of the Delta high school
girls against the girls Of Cedaredge
was "a to 10 and the Delta boys won
from Cedaredge boys by score Of
"a to 8. The trip to and from Ce
daredge was made in the Mary Meyer
