A STATEMENT TO THE vo-
TIERS OF DELTA COUNTY
By r. =. Rockwell, Republican Can
dtdate for State Senator

didate for State Senator.
Realizing the impossibility of see
ing more than a small minority OF
the voters of Delta County. especi
ally at this time when we are all sc
busy shipping our catsle, fruit and
other produce, and believing that all
voters wish to become as intimately
acquainted with the history of their
candidates as possible, desire to
make three statements in this paper.
This week shall discuss my personal
training and experience for the office
now seek; next week the record
made by my party and myself in the
last session of the Colorado Legisla-
ture; and third and last, the ques-
tions which confront us at this Com
ing election {.
Regarding my school training ]
have only this to say,-having been
brought up in New York State, i at
tended the public schools of that state
for ten years,-in 1902 l entered a
preparatory school near Philadelphia
from which l graduated in 1905. That
fall l entered Princeton University
but on account of an accident during
one of my vacations, when a horse
fell with me. / was so badly injured
that l was unable to finish my work
there. The following year / came to
Colorado and have remained ever
since.
During my entire 13 years resi-
.dence in Colorado I have been active
ly engaged in the raising of live stock
and in farming. All of this time have
resided in Paonia. Delta County. a
few miles from the Gunnison County
line. except for four years when
owned and operated the so-called Sam
Hartman ranch at Maher. During
this period l maintained three sets of
COW camps and ran cattle IN Gunnsr
son County. / therefore feel that l
understand the conditions and trials
of running cattle on the reserve and
of ranching and farming in western
Colorado as well as any man there.
As a farmer I have suffered from the
results of poor marketing facilities
and faulty distribution as much as
any man. and certainly shall do
everything in my power to remedy
this situation.
am at the present time operating
a ranch of five hundred acres along
the Forest Reserve from which we
run cattle. and a smaller ranch be-
low Paonia. where we raise fruit and
other crops In fact the business !
have been most actively engaged in
for the past IS years has been farm
ing and live stock raising, and ! feel
that am qualified TO represent those
interests in the Colorado Senate as !
have in the Lower House of the Colo
RADIO Legislature.
Four years ago l was elected on
the Republican ticket to represent
Delta County in the Colorado Legis-
lature. Two years ago l was re-
elected for the same office. This
year | am the candidate of that par
.ty for the State Senate. During the
time ] was in the Lower House |
wrote weekly letters to all the papers
of Delta County telling of the bills
and questions under consideration
and how and why voted on each.
These letters are an open record of
my work for Delta County in that
body for the past four years.
Next week shall discuss some of
the most important of these ques-
tions.

TALKS WITH BANKERS.

The following brief interviews with
we'll known country bankers will inter
est both city and country readers, be-
cause the subjects discussed are of
importance to all. The prosperity of
the farmer is the basis Of all prosper
ity.
E. NJ. WEAVER, of the Farmers
Bank at Milton-No farms have been
sold around Milton lately, that we
know of, although there were quite a
number of transfers in 1919. Land
values are held steady and our farm.
ers are content to hold and to con-
tinue to farm as usual, unless they
get price which suits them. Believe
all the sales made are already on
record and none are awaiting transfer
on March 1.
No Talk Of Reduction.
Have heard no talk Of reducing
acreage this spring, except that the
farmer will depend on himself and
family to do the work, and because
help is, scarce will plant only what the
family can care for. Some may cut
reasons, but we have heard no talk Of
this. There are various opinions as to
growing wheat. Not much building In
prospect, except that we are to have
one Of the best township schools in
the state, to be built this year
R. S. HIATT, cashier of the bank at
Dublin-Quite a few farms were sold
in this vicinity last year, probably a
dozen or more, and at high prices COM
pared with pre.war land values. AS to
tenant changes there will be number
of them, in Wayne and over the line
In Union County. No, I don't think
farmers will feed as many hogs as
usual, in fact now and then a depositor
has said that he would cut his feeding
so per cent, using less feed and doing
less work, also taking less risk as to
lower markets.
Little Building Expected.
Have heard no talk of cutting gener-
al crop acreages, though some must
| for lack of help. While there may be
some building done on the farms, prob
ably will, we know of none in sight in
Dublin right now. We have plenty OF
money to loan for new buildings and
would be glad to put it out. Our de
posts are IS per cent over these Of
February, 1919.
JOSEPH BLOSE, Cashier of the
Centervile State Bank-Farmers are
wondering if there are to be further
losses on hogs which have been fed or
high priced rations, and as to the
future of the live stock markets?
Many Sell Brood Sows
Many have sold off number O
their brood sows and are planning tt
cut down on grain and increase thei
pasturage. How general that ide;
may be, am not prepared to say.
Know of no farms that have beer
sold within a month, or likely to b.
sold soon, but prices on land is vel
maintained.
AS to decrease in general farm crol
acreage, there will be some. ON
farmer tells me that he will cut dOwl
corn third, and plant but SO acres

Hair Often Ruined
By Careless Washing

Soap should be used very carefully
If you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use Is Null
sified cocoanut oil shampoo (Which is
pure and greaseless), and is better
than anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub 1t
in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright. lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and few ounces will supply
every member of the family for
months ADVERTISEMENT.

Why Druggists Recommend
SWamp-Root

For many years druggists have
watched with much interest the re-
markable record maintained by DR..
kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kid
rey, liver and bladder medicine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a Strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and
bladder do the work nature intended
they should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of
years. 1t is sold by all druggists on its
merit and 1t should help you. No other
kidney medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get SwampRoot and start
treatment at once.
However, IL you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton,
N. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention the Rich.

The Farm and The Farmer
BY WILLIAM r. sANsoRN

Believe that, in the main, farmers will
plan whatever acreage they think
they can handle to advantage, regard
less Of hired help.
E. T. MAZE, Brownsville State Bank
There have been some changes In
farm ownership, not very many per
haps, but add at large advance, and
some at more than double what would
have been realized four or five years
ago. Not only are land values up but
are well maintained.
Tenants are Wanted
AS to farm tenants there are a
number of farmers looking for good
renters and these seem very scarce
and do little moving. There Is some
talk Of reducing acreage, not so much
as to demand and prices as because OF
help. 1t isn't question over here OF
wages, but of getting good help at any
price, or a good tenant, as the case
may be. This situation is really seri
Gus and must cut production. The
only new building of importance plan
ned just now is a fine garage. Bust
ness is good with US and retailers are
not complaining.

AMERICANS, BoOBS,
PAYING G0LD-BRICK
PRICES-M MEREDITH

The rube who bought the gold brick
used to be a whimsical novelty in the
life of the nation. The yokel who
paid SAT spot cash for the Masonic
Temple used to be a stray bit of color
in the news of the day. Today-take
1t from the United States department
of agriculture and its secretary, Edwin
II. Meredith-the nation is a collec-
ton of gullible suckers walking
around with exposed bank rolls.
The famous American public, than
which there used to be no "famouser,"
has become in the last five years as
naive as a girl with her first hair
net. 1t has, by its semi-indifference,
brought upon itself high cost Of
living and a dollar worth 80 cents.
Food Should BE Cheap.
Food today" said Mr.. Meredith in
Chicago Tuesday. Should be as cheap
If not cheaper than 1t was six years
ago. There is more food per capita
being produced in the country.
Mr.. Meredith produced figures. The
figures showed that in the last 80
years the production Of grain on the
farms had increased from 226 bushels
per capita, to 400 bushels per capita;
that since 1880 production has in
creased rs per cent per acre; that
cotton has increased from 361k pounds
per capita to so pounds per capita;
that milk has increased from so gal
Ions per capita to 96 gallons per cap
tia wheat from six bushels to eight
bushels the six leading cereals from
38 bushels in 1874 to 50 bushels in
1919.
These and a succession of similar
H. II ->tr <~P
agriculture point plainly in his opin-
ion, to the fact that production on the
farms has not fallen off, but increased
that following the natural laws of
supply and demand, the cost OF food
should not have increased.
Enter Gold Brick Boobs.
Enter. however, the great. wise
American with the nervous bankroll.
Ten years ago a man going to buy a
pair of shoes for SIS would no more
have thought of buying pair for $40
than he would have thought of eating
them.
Today the citizen entering shoe
store or any other kind of a store
will come through with any kind of
a price asked-and no questions ask
ed by him. 1t is the same in the
groceries, in the restaurants, theatres
and all other places where the great
American rube is shedding his bank
roll.
I'VE have become a nation of silly
spendthrifts," said Mr.. Meredith, and
the result is we are being trimmed
right and left by everybody and any
body. The newspapers prepare the
American for his trimming. They keep
writing about the high cost and the
higher cost of living. The result is
that an American. when asked some
preposterous sum for an article, signs
and says: Prices have gone up
Prices are hundreds per cent high
er in some places than they should
be. But that is not my field. That
is up to the department of Justice
