sTunY CABLE SERVICE.
.. 8. Delegates Seek to Prevent
Monopoly by Any Nation

United States delegates to the In
ternationa1 communications confer
ence to be held in this city next
month have begun a study Of the
cable service of the world with a view
10 preventing a monopoly of the serS-
ice by any one nation.
In the preliminary study Of the
yttu1tioD it Is estimated that Great
Britain exercises control over more
than 10000 miles of cables in the
world, or more than the combined to-
tai OF all other nations. The United
States has control over only slightly
more than $4,000 miles. OF greater
Significance, however. according to
officials, than the cable mileage pos
sessed by other nations is that the
United States obtains direct informa-
tion free from censorship or the con-
troll exercised by other nations over
cables passing through foreign terri
tory from only the west coast OF
South America and to limited extent
from the far east.

Obituary

The Midwest Sugar company was
born at Montrose, Colorado, Saturday,
February Z, 1920. The newborn was
apparently very delicate from birth
and it was found necessary to resort
to artificial nourishment For time
the baby gained and great hopes were
entertained, but late in the afternoon
on Monday. February 9th, a change
for the worse set in. On the morning
of the 10th hurried consultation of
political heads was had and the baby
was brought to Delta county in the
hope of finding proper treatment.
Tony Mcneil drove the ambulance
and was accompanied by Senator
Tobin, al Neale, Kenneth Humphries
and Jim Kyle, the latter being con-
sidered valuable aide since he spent
several months in Delta for wrinkles
in the stomach.
Hotchkiss was the intended desti.
nation of the party, but on the way
Tobin, Neale and HUMPHREYS decided
to stop over night in Delta and try
the change of scene for las petite en-
fant. The remainder of the party

toured Hotchkiss, Austin and Read
with very little encouragement.
Next day vast assemblage OF wise
heads of Delta county was gathered
together in Delta. and here the rap
idly declining infant was rushed. The
change to Delta seemed to have even
a worse effect and after a brief, but
exceedingly precarious existence II
passed away.
Funeral services were held at the
Laycock & Kepler "mortuary" be
tween the hours of one and three
o'clock, the business houses of Delta
being closed for the occasion The
solemn service was conducted by
Rev" Arthur D. Fairbanks, Jr., and
large concourse of beet growers and
Delta people attended. Pail bearers

The following statement of the Del
ta County Farmers Supply company
of Delta, Colorado, was made by j. w.
Jeffers of Delta:
J. F. Kyle, Manager, and the Honor
able Board of Directors of the Delta
County Farmers Supply Company.
Gentlemen:-In accordance with
your instructions and per your min
utes under date of January 7, 1920
herewith submit my report of your
company from the time of taking
over the business from George S.
Conklin on the first day of August,
1919, to and including the thirteenth
day of January, 1920.
This report includes the checking
OF the cash account, notes received
and notes payable, certificates of
stock, the personal and all other ac-
| counts carried on the ledger. The
| extensions of the inventory as re-
ceived from Mr. Conklin and the ex-
tensions of the inventory as just
completed.
In reviewing the business which
HAS Ouly run lllIIc OVER IV0
months, it will certainly be very graf
'ifying to the manager and stockhold.
1 ers to know, that, during such short
period, the amount of goods handled
and the amount of money to do bus
mess with. there is a surplus of over
$4,000 as is shown by the accompan.
ing statement
When Mr.. Kyle came as your man.
ager, there were $3.50 in cash: $500
in notes and 5000 in Liberty bonds.
+, The first payment on the real estate
had not been made, so, after making
this payment, there was only $3.50 in
cash OF the $500 in notes, $6770
were all that was salable and the
Liberty bonds sold for S575.4S. max
ing total of less than $500 cash to
start with. You can see how far this
went towards paying for the $4,000
stock of merchandise and furniture
and fixtures just purchased from Mr.,
| Conklin.
Since then, through CAREFUL, con-
servative management the stock of
merchandise and furniture and fix
lures have been paid for and the
same has been increased to over
$4,000. There, is cash on hand in var
| ious banks amounting to over $500
and with only a little over $4,000
borrowed money.
So you see what can be DONE and
if every stockholder, director and
every man connected with this insti
tuition will get behind it, not only
with his money and the things he
wants to buy, but also with the pro
ducts that he wants to sell, then. sue
cess will come to the biggest propo
sition in Delta county.
