DADDY LONG LEGS" GIVEN
BY DELTA HIGH JUNIORS

The play which the Junior class is
presenting at the Colonial Theater on
Wednesday, May %, is an adaptation
of Jean Webster's book, Daddy Long
Legs"
The story as told by Jean Webster
is that of an orphan girl who is sent
to college by an unknown man. Jean
Webster allows Jerusha Abbott, or
Judy, to tell her story by writing let
ters to her unknown guardian.
In the play as it will be presented
by the juniors We shall be permitted
to see Judy in the John Grier home,
where she is an older girl with several
small orphans under her immediate
care. Here she learns that she is to
be sent to college.
Later we see her at college where
she seems to be an animated member
of the dormitory group. And finally
we see her and the Semples of Lock
Willow Farm where her guardian
has sent her the summer after her
graduation from college
OF course there is a little thread of
romance through the play but that you
should come to see. The caste of
characters is:
Mrs. Lippert, Matron of the John
Grier Home. Marion Gobble.
Jerusha, Abbott, Judy, Lucille Dairs.
Julia Pendelton, who has family
tree, Catherine Burgess.
Sallie Mcbride, who has an interest
ing brother, Helen Hinman.

. oD TEAMS ENGAGE
LEADER BALL GAME
NEIoHsoRt
IN DOUBLE

Late in IT, week arrangements
were completed with Paonia and
Olathe for a baseball contest to be
held at Delta Sunday and there was
a lively bunch of rooters on hand
long before the game started.
The first teams up were Delta
against a mixed bunch of Paonia and
Somerset players. The visitors, Man
ager Dunbar informed us, had never
played together until they went out
on the diamond and didn't even know
where they we're to play. They did
remarkably well, nearly all managing
to connect with SIMPSONS curve a.
some stage of he game. Beebe. form
erly league pitcher. but retired
twirled for the visitors. while Samp-
son occupied the mound for the home
lads. The game lost something OF its
interest when the visitors had plea
up an even dozen scores with the
locals holding the little end of 5.
The second bout was staged be-
tween Delta and Olathe. the well
known sluggers Parrish twirled for
OIathe and Karl Eberhard tossed the
pill for Delta. This game was con-
siderably faster than the former one
and honors were about evenly divided
When the smoke had cleared away
the locals had runs to their creiit
as against he Hubs 3.
For limbering up contest the boys
did remarkably well. and there was
the utmost good nature among all, as
there properly should be.
A feature of the affair was Irvine

WELL KNOWN LOCAL LADY
BECOMES BRIDE OF LOCAL MAN

To make it more plain, they are
both well known and respected in the
community where they have made
their homes for many years.
The contracting parties were James
Greenwood and Mrs. Rosa Estes. The
announcement of their approaching
wedding was made Thursday at a
party given in honor of the bride.
and the wedding followed so closely
that their friends scarcely had time
recover their breath. But that's the
way of the world.
The ceremony was performed Sat
urday evening at the brides home on
Dodge street, witnessed by only few
close friends, and Rev. Geo. F. Klein
performed the magic service. using
the ring ceremony.
The happy couple will make their
home in Delta, and we would be
among the first to wish them health,
wealth and prosperity.

SUGAR FACTORY MATTER is
MOVING SATISFACTORILY

Things are still looking promising
for Delta's sugar factory. More stock
and bonds are being sold and as time
goes on, influential men are taking
more and more interest.
Mr.. S. w. Sinsheimer, vice presi
dent and general manager of the Holly
Sugar Corporation, arrived in the city
Sunday and went over the site care
fully, as well as other matters in con.
nection with the proposed industry.
After giving the matter consideration
it was decided that more ground was
needed and an additional tract known
as the Hook land, was purchased.
The following letter from A. E. Carl
ton. president of the Holly Sugar Cor
poration, has just been received by
Lieutenant Governor George Stephan,
and is self explanatory:
Colorado Springs. May 16, 1919.
Dear Governors: Much gratified to
receive your letter stating that more
than 200 residents of Delta. Montrose
and vicinity have proven their inter-
est in the upbuilding of the factory by
subscribing for more than 100000. 90
of the securities of the Delta sugar
factory. My associates in the enter
prise are, as stated in the meeting at
Delta, ready to purchase ss00,O0000 of
the securities and plans for the fac
tory are nearing completion and bids
for the machinery, etc, are being Sc
cured so that Immediately upon organ
ization of the company there will be
no delay and construction will proceed
in ample time for the 1920 crop.
With team work between the beet
growers and factory owners am sure
this enterprise viii be a source of
both pride and profit to the western
slope. Yours truly.

"WlLL YOU WALK INTO
MY PARLOR?" SAID
THE SPIDER TO TIE FLY

The Montrose papers are running
scarehead across the top of their
front page which we understand was
conceived in the cobwebs of some
member of the Chamber of Commerce.
1t reads as follows: "Say-COME TO
MONTRoSE TO TRADE"
The slogan adopted seems to have a
reactionary influence in favor of Del
Ia. to judge from the increased bus
mess within the past week We know
that both towns are good places to
trade, but to flaunt sCch an advertise
ment as that could only be a menace
to a community. If a town or set of
business men organized under the
name of Chamber of Commerce must
hold out such an alluring offer. to a
man up a tree, it looks as If something
must be radically wrong.

brakes. but was too close to avoid the
accident The lamp struck her body,
throwing her underneath the car, one
wheel passing entirely over her. Miss
