JOE HARRINGTON THE MAN
FOR THE SHERIFF'S JOB

Joe Harrington is the man for
sheriff.
First of all-because he is Colo
RADIO and a Delta county product.
Second-because he knows the peo-
pie. He knows the class of people
with whom he must come in contact,
and with his ready wit will deal with
them accordingly.
Third-because he is honest and up
right. He is not a CRATER and will
not take advantage of the confidence
imposed in him by charging up bogus
fees and mileage.
Fourth-because he is young man
who will not be afraid to take hold
Of 'em when they need it.
Fifth-because he is One Hundred
per cent American, true blue and loyal
to his hearts core.
Don't make any mistake on election
day. but cast your vote for the man
with conscience.

UKRAINIAN SUPPLIES
DISAPPOINT GERMANS
Washington, March IS,

That Germany was disappointed in her
hope for food supplies from Ukrainia is
shown by dispatch from Berne quoting
Berlin telegram published by the
Strasburger Post March II. The tele-
gram says the stores of grain are very
limited and that there is great political
unrest. The dispatch, In part, follows:
After having announced that the
stock of cereal to be found in Ukrainia
surpassed all expectations, the German
press Is today obliged to admit that the
resources which will be at the disposal
or the Central Powers have been exag-
gerated.
The Strassburger Post of the 14th
publishes a telegram from Berlin which
is highly instructive as regards this:
To estimate what resources We can
draw upon from Ukrainia. it must be
II political unrest There are still many
political disturbances in that country.
IN the part Of the population there is a
certain mistrust regarding the troops
II goes without saying that calm must
he re-established before the shipment OF
cereals can be made on the scale which
we had hoped.
ITO these difficulties are added those
of financial character. There is no
currency of the Czarist regime. Now
the Ukainians prefer this money to the
new issue Of rubles. The Ukrainian
peasants are eager for goods, and arti-
cles must be procured which they { -
sire to receive In payment. The trans
portation difficulties are also well known
In what concerns the cereal stocks,
the great States are almost entirely pill
laged. The peasants alone are in pos
session of provisions. and in order to as
sure the future they must be supplied
'"ith sufficient seed and agricultural
materials. Grain no longer exists on
the large estates. II can be affirmed
that there are really important supplies
but at present one must have patience
and receive with critical spirit exag.

Russia's acceptance Of Germany's
peace terms has been repudiated even
before the signatures have been at
tached to the ineffective document
The designations of six commissaries
from the Revolutionary Government in
protest against any agreement with
German Imperialism demonstrates that
only a small clique under the domina- :
ton of Nikolai Lenine Is responsible
for the unreasoned action of the Pam
Soviets at Moscow. Won Hindenburg's s
diplomats are once more in a quandary.
They cannot trust the peace they have
made for fear of betrayal and they dare
not continue TO treat Russia as an ac-
tive enemy lest this provide the very
impetus for recovery of Russia's Of
fensive power.
There Is every reason to believe that
the delegates to the Pan-Soviet Con-
gress mere men without experience in
public affairs. who were not Informed
authoritatively concerning terms of the
peace treaty they were accepting. They
put their trust in Lenine. who, prac-
