eraI offerings of the junk class.
Killers do not want this sort OF stuff
and IL compelled TO buy 1t after il

DELTA COUNTY OVER TOP.

Hooray, hooray for Delta county,
True to her reputation for loyalty to
home and country, Delta county has
reached the s294.SOO mark. with fe,
days left yet before the close of the
Third Liberty loan campaign. 1t is
believed that she will make it $780,
900 before the close.
Delta county's quota was $4,000,
so it will be seen that she has already
exceeded her appraisement by nearly
100000. Incidentally, this is the first
Western Slope county to "go over the
top" and the fifth county in the state
of Colorado.
While there are many who have
given all that they feel they possibly
can give, and are depriving themsel-
yes of necessities in order to meet
the demanu, we know, that on the
other hand there are those with thous-
ands at their command who have no.
given a dollar. 1t is deplorable that
these can sit by in state of dull
apathy as it were, when the cry from
over the seas is for more money with
which to save even these from the
atrocities of the Hun

SHALL DELTA CELEBRATE?

A meeting was called for Monday
night in the City Hall for the purpose
OF discussing the advisability of hold
ing a Fourth of July celebration. but
either due to lack Of interest. OF pres
sure OF other matters, there was too
light attendance to make any defi-
mite plans.
Numerous business men have been
talking the matter over since that
time. most of them are heartily in
favor Of such an event. AS everyone
knows. the celebration last year was
a rosing one. and besides giving every
one an opportunity. to have a dandy
good time. amply repaid those who ex-
pended hard cash. or their efforts.
This year, most Of all years in his.
tory. is a patriotic year, and 1t is al
most foregone conclusion that some
kind Of a celebration will be held when
the time approaches. but in order to
make the affair a success preliminary
steps should be taken In the very near
future.
We are told that another meeting
will be held to definitely decide this
matter. the date being published. and
Mt that time n is hoped that those
having bad colds or other business en-.
~agemens will be there to express

Eoyptian Reed Pipes.

Specimens of Egyptian reed pipes,
some Of them more than 5000 years
old. have found their way into the
museums. In them are, perhaps, to
be found the secrets of those scales
which are all that survive of musi-
cal art too ancient for history. One
writer assumes that the instinct for
harmonious proportions and symmetry
possessed by primitive man led him to
place the holes at equal distances
along his reed pipe. Thus a system
Of scales came into being quite natur-
ally by purely mechanical means.

Military greatness seems to arrive

diminutive size or poor physique. Alex

coughing. Luxembourg. who beat him
