Wilson's Midnight speech.
4 PARIS, April 12.-When the presi-
dent arose to speak on the Mon
roe doctrine amendment it was
nearly midnight at the end of a
long days work. Standing at the head
OF table, the lines of fatigue on his
fpce accentuated by the blazing light
OF the chandeliers, he delivered what
is said to have been one Of the most
dramatic and effective speeches since
the conference opened.
The president pointed out that the
Monroe doctrine had its inception at
time when absolutism was supreme
in Europe; that 1t was promulgated
for the purpose of permitting the free
and untrammeled development Of the
peoples of the Americas. These peo-
pies, he said, had now Joined with free
Europeans in final struggle against
absolutism and that they were able
the Monroe doctrine.
May Day Peace.
tBy Fred S. Ferguson, United Press
Staff correspondent
PARIS, April 12.-Talk of an Easter
peace" today had given way to prom
Use Of May day" peace.
While the most chronic optimists
admitted the last hope of peace by
April 20 apparently had vanished,
there was a general feeling that the
treaty would be ready for presenta-
ticns to the Germans by May ! at
least.
Persons close to the big four in
timated that an agreement has vir-
tually been reached now on all i'm
portant questions = reparations, re-
sponsibility for the war, the Saar
valley, disposition OF Fiume and Dan
zig and German boundaries.
The military, naval and aerial terms
OF the treaty have been completed for
weeks. The revised league Of nations
covenant Is ready for submission to
a plenary session.
An instance Of how the covenant
is interviewer with the treaty is pro
yided in the settlement Of the Saar
problem. The "big four" agreed that
region would be under political super
vision of the league for period OF
years, while France controls the I'M
rortant coal mines there, final owner
shin of which will be determined by
a plebescite directed by the league.
The league committee at last nights
meeting approved the remaining ar
ttcles of the re-draft. It was under
stood that neither the Japanese
amendment for racial equality nor the
French amendment for an information
a, general staff were added. Both
nations, according to unofficial infor-
nation, reserved the right to submit
these amendments to the plenary ses-
sion for discussion

STANDS FOURTH
IN THE POTATO YIELD

Reports given out by the Colorado
bureau of markets state that the ship
ment of potatoes from this state dur
ing the past season has been the great
est in the history of the state. Accord
ing to the records of the United States
bureau of markets, 1860 cars of po-
tatoes have been shipped from the
1918 crop, Minnesota ranking first
with $4,000 cars. Wisconsin second
with over 10000 cars, Maine third
with 1890 cars and Colorado fourth
with her 1860 cars.
The figures furnished by the Denver
and Rio Grande railroad company give
the number of cars billed out from
Montrose and Delta counties as $500,
the output being especially heavy dur
ing the early part of the season, due
to the attractive prices that were paid
the growers. On account of the sup
erior quality of the potatoes raised in
this section, the growers were paid
from 40 to so cents more than growers
in other sections.

TRIBUNE FOREMAN DRAWS
DOWN SHORT CIRCUIT

M. R. Tripp, foreman of the Trib
une, had an experience the other
evening that he will long remember
in the annals of time. He was trying
to engage in the use of some tools and
other things in connection with beaut-
flying the trees about his home that
proved his skill and abidity lacking.
Mr.. Tripp succeeded in climbing in
to big tree top with the avowed pur-
pose of saving off a limb that he sup
posed was grounded to another tree,
but in setting his saw to work he
made the mistake of his life and am
putated the limb that supported him,
causing unspeakable words to be hurl-
ed through the evening air. From the
neighbors reporting the affair we
learn that aside from being temper
arily short-circuited from his tools
and the huge tree no great material
damage was done.

COMPANY PURCHASES BLOCK

Announcement was made on We'd
nesday by John Davis, manager of the
Park-Davis Clothing Company, of the
purchase of the Shields estate, being
the corner occupied by that firm and
the Osborne-Wiliamson drug company.
The consideration was not made pub
lie, yet it is a well known fact that
the purchase price was very hand
some sum.
John Davis and George Park came
to Delta in July, 1912 and purchased
the stock of goods and good will of
Roy Emery, who established the store
abut ten years ago. By steady and
energetic work the firm progressed,
steadily adding to their stock and Civ.
ing prompt and painstaking care to
every purchaser.
A few years ago George Park re-
tired from active association with Mr..
Davis and formed the Park Clothing
company at Hotchkiss at which point
he is now located. He still retained
his financial interest in the business
and is now one of the heavy stockhold-
ers in the Delta store bearing his
name
These two bright young men are to
be congratulated upon their upward
step in business circles Of Delta.

A party of experts from the state
college at Fort Collins were in Delta
yesterday and held the meeting as
announced in our last weeks issue,
about the serious matter confront
ing every farmer regarding the rapid

While there appears to be no good
remedy offered to quickly suppress

better understanding among the
farmers will result, and by keeping
close tab on conditions that eventu-
ally the weevil may be entirely elm
mated.
Tomorrow a like meeting is to be
