PACKED CROWD WITNESSES
ANTICS OF WAR TANK "ZEB'

On Wednesday afternoon the Delta
county people had real sensation
when the famous war tank Little
2eb'H came to the various towns and
gave demonstrations of its ability.
The tank is of the type known as
ma by tanks and was brougnr mere to
assist the Victory Loan committees in
their work of putting over the fifth
and last loan.
Despite the fact that word was re-
ceived after every paper in the county
had been published, hundreds learned
of the plan in time to witness the
ceremonies and the work of the fight
err Especial thanks is due to the two
telephone companies who at once got
in touch with the rural communities
and notified them of the prmised ap-
pearance.
Lieutenant Gilbert McDonough and
Oliver Parish, both Of whom accom-
panied tanks in France, after the
big parade spoke to magnificent
crowd on the court house lawn on the
question of the hour-the Victory
Loan.
The little scrapper performed all
sorts of antics for his delighter spect-
ators closing the program by making
a trip across the arroyo near Garnet
Mesa with perfect ease.
Congressman Ed. T. Taylor, who
was here on business matters, appear
ed Unexpectedly to many and gave
a brief address from the top of the
tank.
The Victory day crowd was record
breaker, exceeding by far any gather
ing heretofore seen on any occasion.
