The PASSING oE JAZZ

The impression seems to. prevail
that jazz music has seen its most
popular days. 1t had certain quail,
ity of rhythm and humor that pleased
the people for time. But the love
for music is something more than
the desire to hear eccentric noises
The instinct that makes people like
strongly marked and original rhythm
can be satisfied by standard music,
even better than by the waiting OF
saxophones or beating on tin pans.
Some people carried their antipathy
to jazz so far as to regard it as
positively immoral, tending to excite
the dancing crowd so that they would
behave in an indecorous manner.
People who are sensitive to musical
rhythm will always be stimulated by
music with strongly marked cadences.
| But the dancers who are melted by
pronounced rhythms to do pigeon
| wings are not usually the sappy
crowd who are hugging their part
ners. The objection to jazz was not
its wickedness, but its crudeness. The
purest jazz is found in the African
jungles, where the natives are beat
ing their tom-toms.

REALIZING A ciTY's
POSSIBILITIES

Every community turns out each
year from its public schools a con-
siderable number of young people
who have exceptional capacity for di-
recting human activity. They were
organizers in their school life in their
sports and games and pastimes. They
have the magnetic gift of persuasion
and can influence other people.
Wherever these young folks go,
they will be a power. Any industry
they take hold of will grow. II they
get interested in community work,
any town to which they go will feel
the stimulus of their push and en-
thusiasm.
The busines men of Delta should
watch very carefully the young peo-
pie who come out of our schools
When young person shows power OF
leadership. it should be recognized
that such a one will be great asset
for any business or community. All
possible efforts should be made to
find attractive openings for such
young people in their home town. II
you can give them fair chance fol
advancement they will make them
selves felt and create force that ir
few years will be potent In assist
ing the progress of business and the
development of our community life.

SOUTH REPORTS PROSPERITY

MEMPHIS. Tenn. Oct. 13.-The
consensus of opinion of those in at
tendance at the annual convention of
the Cotton State Merchants Associa-
tion. which has just adjourned its ses-
sions here. is that trade revival is no
longer matter OF doubt Reports
throughout the South show that farm
ers are making the biggest and cheap
est crop they have made in years.
There has been a heavy reduction in
cotton acreage and corresponding
increase in the production of food
crops for animals. This condition
makes the South more self-sustaining
than at any period in recent years
and releases the money realized on
cotton for use in liquidation of debts
of purchase of supplies other than
food As result. merchants are buy
ing literally for fall and winter trade.

MORGAN COUNTY BEET CROP
WILL BRING BIG RETURNS

| The sugar beet industry proves its
value more and more each year in
Morgan county. It's benefit to the
territory where sugar beets can be
raised is hardly appreciated. With
the opening OF the campaign here it
means revival of business and a
general help all along the line.
For years the farmers have looked
to the sugar beet as the money crop.
1t is depended on to meet the larger
obligations. 1t is the one crop for
which the market price IL known
when the crop is planted. 1t is a cer-
tain crop. the only fluctuating item
being whether the yield will be fifteen
tons per acre or anywhere up to
twenty.
Without the beet crop here the
farmers would be obliged to depend
on the income from small grain, five.
stock, etc. AS 1t Is these sources of
income are not hmdered by the beet
crop, but are benefited The beet is
an additional source of income to that
which is enjoyed in agricultural sec.
tions outside of the sugar beet belt
At the same time it is valuable fer
tilizer and feed producer. 1t com
tributes its advantages in the process
of rotation with other crops
The farmer who is looking for his
income from the grain crops and live
stock has no bright prospect this sea-
som This seems to be true universal
ly throughout the country. The beet
farmer comes in with better advant-
ages this season than the grain farm
er. 1t has been true on the average
for long period of years.
If one were to draw picture of
what Fort Morgan would be today
without the sugar beet industry it
would be quite different from what
the town is now. 1t wouldn't have
over half its present population It
would not have the class of stores
that are now accommodating the pub
lie. There wouldn't be any paved
streets. There wouldn't be half the
municipal service.
An institution like the Great west
ern Sugar Company contributes hsav-
lily to the maintenance of the high.

which are enjoyed by large proper

ment of Agriculture. This has been
ascertained since threshing has be-
gun. 1t is also shown that the quality
will be better than a year ago. At

MARTYRS AND MENAcEs
BY MARGARET STEEL HARD


We are all familiar with the MEM
orable scene enacted in Mrs. Ruggles'
kitchen (The Birds Christmas Carroll
when Mrs. Ruggles, distraught and
determined, struggled to implant the
rules of polite behavior in the minds
of her nine harum-scarum youngsters
during the space OF a few fleeting
hours. The scene was occasioned by
their almost immediate appearance at
Mrs Birds dinner table and their
mothers terror lest they conduct
themselves in too outrageous man
ner
Today mothers are confronted with
the same problem; though in a less
acute and humorous degree Children
go forth to take part in a larger group
than the immediate family one, and
unless we have managed wisely and
surely from the very beginning, we
are beset with the same misgivings
which Mrs. Ruggles endured; the al
most certain knowledge that they may
cause us modification and chagrin.
1t may be in the home that tTris
realization comes. How many moth
ers, entertaining a caller, have surf
fered vexation because of the wilful
demands and Interruptions of an ill
behaved child? How many have ex-
perienced the disagreeable surprise of
finding that habit of untidiness, in
considerateness and inattention, over
looked at home, become appalling

The mistaken devotion which takes
for granted that all restriction 10 a

which cannot bear to see chil0 suf-
fer temporary disappointment or pun
ishment. allows him't to develop an in
dividuality which later will sap and
prey upon all other individuals with
whom he comes in contact.
The mother who trails after her
children all day, picking up misfaid

who makes countless trips upstairs in

she tries to read or write. and who

the careless, arrogant, selfish men

The mother who determines ttfat

The question has often presented
itself-or shall we say forced itseli
upon our notice-whether we as par
ents properly appreciate our teachers
in the grade and high schools.
During the year many circum
stances arise which lead us to think
seriously of the problem before us
and we have decided that one of the
greatest, if not the greatest factor in
the promotion of education is har-
mony between the parents and teach
ers.
1t is with this end in view that
schools all over the country are or.
ganizing and keeping active Parent
Teachers associations, and it has
been matter of deepest regret with
the writer that the organization in
District No. has lapsed into a state
of coma, if not been strangled in its
infancy.
Now, it isn't merely the social inter
course one enjoys. Heaven knows we
all have an abundance of that
throughout the year, but in view of
the dire need of cooperation and the
great benefits to be derived from such
efforts. it would be better to dispense
with some other social clubs for the
sake of our growing boys and girls.
In the first place, parents do not
visit the schools often enough We
wash the children's necks and ears
and hands (sometimes) and hurry
them off to school five mornings a
week, and then sit down and get our
bearings, as it were, for the day.
thanking our lucky stars that they are
out of the way for few hours, at
least.
But what of the little teacher who
through more than half the child's
waking hours has charge of him?
Truly she has a marvellous part in
shaping the destiny and molding the
character of that child. How much
does it mean to you, father and
mother of Delta? And are you doing
your full share to show your apprecia-
Gion of her efforts?
During the day, particularly with
primary pupils, so many unpleasant
details arise incident to the first
months of change of discipline for the
child, and the teacher must meet these
things with kindness and firmness.
She must supervise the child each
moment he is on the play ground. If
accidents occur she is prepared with
first aid appliances purchased by her.
self from her own purse.
One great cause of dissatisfaction
and ill feeling among pupils and
teachers is often the tendency of
pupils to magnify little disagreements
at school. The writer believes that
parents should back the teacher to
the limit. II he or she makes a mis-
take, he does no worse than do the
parents in the home. We believe that
the creed in every home should be:
81 will visit the schools whenever
possible.
"I will encourage the teachers
whenever opportunity arises.
81 will never permit my children TO
criticise their teachers in my pres
ence.
"I will manifest an interest IN my
children's work, teaching them a re-
spect for whatever they do.
81 will never express a criticism OF
the teachers.
"I will stand back Of my children's
teachers in whatever they may do"
What world of friction would be
saved if parents all followed those
few rules, and how much happier
teachers, parents and pupils would be-
