Fork team and the Delta boys. II
made myself comfortable on the
what-do-yo-call-it on the front of Pa
onia car and yelled like mad man
for Delta. There really wasn't much
! to yell about because the game was as
rotten as any l have seen this season
but as Beebe the ex-league pitcher was
pitted against our Carver, i was glad
to see Delta win, even if the score was
IL to z. Beebe has retired long ago
to the simple rural life and he wear
led at the end of the fifth and anoth-
er guy took his place. "Stub''Warren
pulled sensational play in center on
long run and left hand catch of
shot that looked like safe hit Pa
onia had good centerfielder, too, but
/ didn't get his name. Bill Graham
made a score by stealing home when
ball was lost somewhere and Paon-
la team was sleeping. And still some
say that Bill is too fat to run.
At. 4:20 the game was halted while
the afrplane flew over. 1t went right

Well, II didn't fall and after a few

was going over l took a look once at
the crowd about me and it was a fun

J pie there and 1899 of them was look

all the flyin' could, too.
1 forgot to tell you about the third
exhibition hall-a private tent erected
by Roy L. Smith, Delta Hardware Com
pany and the Uncompahgre Cement
Stave Silo Company. Here Roy Smith
was beaming on everybody like can
didate for reelection for county clerk.
AND dispensing sweet music from sey-
eral Brunswick monographs. He also
furnished the ring for the couple who
were spliced in marriage the next day

the Delta Hardware display. Raymond
Adams in charge. Here l found
beautiful Majestic steel range valued
at s110 which was, afterwards given

SO handsome little Sharples cream
separator and when asked Mr. Adams
whether it went with the stove he
said it wouldn't dare wish such a
thing as a separator-even a sharples
onto newlyweds, but would leave
the separating to the divorce courts.
Well. it's a safe bet if that couple
starts housekeepin' with the Majestic
steel range and the Sharples cream
separator. they won't be any business
for the divorce courts. The range
will always be ready and as to the
separator, it's so simple to wash. just
like regular dishes. nothin' to it
Howard NJ Jay and Mrs. Hubbard
was there with literature from the I'm

filled with water and ducks splashing
in the sun.
The new Pan car belonging to DR..
Bursin was in the other corner and a
demonstration was there to explain its
merits.
The Red Cross society had a pretty
display and a comfortable rest room
with beds for the tired little ones.
Miss T. L. Hayard and Mrs. Miller,
Paonia ladies. were in charge there.
Well, after we eat few more sand
wiches and cones we went back up
town and enjoyed ourselves on the
midway, and it was fascinating to see
the people-respectable ladies, too
