FOOLISH WIVES OF HISTORY

Marie Antoinette was the lawful
and Official wife of Louis the fifteenth
now called Louis the Ounce. A
ounce in the olden days meant the
same thing as at present. King Louis
and Marie lived in Paris and spent
their week-ends on goldfish pond
near Versailles. The pond was twenty
per cent. stuff and the fish real eigh-
teen carat. The home in Paris con-
tanned so many rooms that Marie used
to call her maid on the long distance
phone and when making hot cakes in
the morning for the crowd that usu-
ally slept there-the cook CREASED the
skillet with motor cycle. Louis was
rare and royal spender and was con-
tent on having continuous good
time even if it cost the French peo-
pie every cent they had. One day,
while Louis and Marie were arguing
on how to avoid saving any money,
there was a rumble outside the royal
window.
An hour later, Marie was on her
way to the local hoose-gow and sew
eral days later underwent an opera
tion by Dr. Guillotine which made
her so mad she lost her head Louis
lasted little longer and finally car
ried lily to the local burying ground.
Marie will long live in history as the
best looking dead one in Paris-city

It. Il all comes down to this: The
more money the government spends

So much for the cost of the national

no other source of revenue than our
contributions. 1t doesn't make any
money. In times like these, when al
most everybody feels that he gets too
little for what he sells and has to pay
too much for what he buys. 1t seems
to me the least we can do is to take
an active and intelligent interest in
this great common enterprise of ours
and make sure that 1t Is well organ
lied; that 1t doesn't waste or spend
extravagantly; that the employees are
paid an adequate wage and have
proper working conditions; that their

ebrate his 10th birthday. The party
was held little in advance of the

/. the fact that Saturday evening was
sure to be busy one for many of
the guests it was decided to remind
him of the event in advance. A very
pleasant evening was spent and the

host more birthdays, which judging
from his robust health he is very apt
to attain.

of the time, and was in France dur
vocational training in Denver.

Of three be appointed, one by the far
mers, one by the Delta County Live
Stock association, and one by the
Delta Chamber of Commerce
This committee was to represent
the tax payers and was instructed to
act with the County Commissioners
In a cooperative and advisory capac-
ity. The following committee has
been selected:
S. A Sylvester, Hotchkiss, for ths
farmers; W. E. Schoolfield, Delta
for the Live Stock interests, and A. E
Penley. Delta, for the business men
This committee was further in
structed that they were not in any
way to hamper the county officials
in the transaction Of their business,
but on the contrary to harmoniously
assist in solving the many vexing
financial questions constantly aris-
ing. The constant aim is to relieve
the burden of taxes which the people
believe has become extremely exces-
sive.
The commissioners are requested
to kindly notify this committee of
any meetings at which they can be
Of service.
