Ants steriIizing Their Stores.

AS mark of what In human beings
would be termed great intelligence. it
has been noticed that when storing up
seeds or grains for winter use, ants
cut out the life-germ. Since their
storehouses are under ground, this is
necessary to prevent the grain from
sprouting and growing.

how would America, with her money, fare, if she imported and exported her goods entirely in foreign bottoms? And what if other governments desired. if they controlled the carrying trade, to give foreign exporters rates that would be ruinous to American exporters? How would America fare?
 If dishonesty and graft have seeped into the operations of the Shipping Board, it is we'll that they be brought to light. But while searching for the molehill, let the mountain not be for gotten. The United States Shipping Board has done more, much more, than spend the peoples money. It provided ships for America and for the Allies when civilization hung in the balance, and civilization has been saved.-Ore- gon Journal

THE SHIPPING BOARD.

Of all the Government bureaus and le paftments perhaps none has been more maligned than the Shipping Board. That body has been accused oi inc diciency, waste, graft, mismanage me nt and about everything else short of treason.
 Perhaps there have been irregulari- Gies in the conduct of the Shipping Board. Perhaps there have been in- sta nces of inefficiency. Perhaps, in some way or another. a few, dollars could have been saved.
 But America has a merchant marine. For the people of this country, the Shipping Board today holds and con 5rbls 14,0o0,O00 tons of ships. It oper- ates,more than 2,O00,vessels. They are carrying American goods to foreign % atries and returning with foreign goods for American consumption
 Tne Shipping Board has spent 8, 750. o00,O GOO. The ships under it's cdntrol are now valued at S2, GOO, ,000,. 900. The ships were built, not now, but during war time. in an emergency, when America and the world needed ships as badly as they needed guns and am intuition and men. Materials cost more than they had ever cost before. Men had to be obtained. They had to be obtained from other lines of en- aea vor. And to obtain them the Gov efnment had to pay for them. pay more than the same men had ever received before. That the ships cost more then, when speed was an all-important essen- 1ial,o when prices were at their apex, and when men had to be.secured at any cdst, than they can now be sold for, is not at all unusual
 And what would be the shipping rates ff.foreign, countries were in,~con- trel of the merchant feet now? Just

ASH MESA MAKES MERRY
ON THANKSGIVING DAY

Memory runneth not back to a more
delightful occasion than the big COM
munity celebration at the lower school
house Thanksgiving day, put on by
the Ladies' Aid at that place.
Those in charge displayed excep-
tional managerial ability by serving
the 100 guests without disorder or
confusion. in the record-breaking time
of 10 or 15 minutes. and the quality
of the 'eats" may be inferred from
the remark of well known connois-
seur in the gentle art of eating, who
said, 1T was the best dinner l ever
had"
The program in the afternoon was
a pleasing mixture of the serious and
humorous, the fun reaching it's climax
in an original poem (more original
than poetic, perhaps). to be found
elsewhere in this issue.
Following the program Rev. A. B.
Parry gave short address, in which
he recalled the true meaning OF
Thanksgiving day, and commended
the spirit of Fellowship and goodwill
so prevalent in this excellent COM
munity.
Altogether the affair was a great
success, but to the Disappointment of
the men, the meeting adjourned sine
die.

MUCH HELP YET NEEDED
FOR STRICKEN EUROPE

The committee for securing wheat
for Near East Relief, headed by Her
bert Chase, has been busy for several
weeks, but as yet Delta county has
failed to come up to the hopes of
those making the campaign. Grand
Junction raised $1,000 the first day
of their campaign. Larimer county is
ready with over 1000 bushels of wheat
and other counties are responding, but
we are told that Colorado as a state is
running far behind.
A cable from Armenia says: Since
September 1, 10000 kiddies have been
taken into orphanages for the winter
and this means added responsibilities.

Col. w. A. Davis dairy COW sale
Saturday was a success in every way.
Buyers were here from Montrose,
Olathe, Hotchkiss, Paonia and Cedar
edge and vicinity. The storm pre-
vented some buyers from coming from
the Nucla and Norwood section Col.

sale to his extensive advertising. He
carried an advertisement in all the
newspapers of Montrose and Delta
counties, and plastered the Western
Slope with 1000 large sale bills which
fully described every one of his Hol-
stein cows which were offere>.

OTHER STATES SAY STATE
HOSPITALS ARE BIG BENEFIT

County officials in sixteen counties
in Iowa and nine counties in Nebraska
have reported to the University Of
Colorado that state hospitals main
tanned by the universities in those
states have been of direct benefit to
their counties. The hospitals in Iowa
and Nebraska are similar to the pro-
posed State General Hospital, for
which the university is now conduct
ing a statewide campaign for $780,
900. and the reports from these two
states are good indications OF the re-
suits that may be expected IL the pro
posed new hospital is established in
Colorado.
One of the reports that has a spe-
cial appeal because it illustrates the
relief OF suffering among children.
comes from E X. Allyn, treasurer OF
Ringgold county, Iowa. He says:
'-The benefits TO the children are
most noticeable for many Of their de-
fects are corrected by q slight opera
ton which allows the child to enter
school on a par with the normal chill
dren. These children are started in
this way to a useful citizenship where
otherwise they would remain charge
in a needy home and would, perhaps.
eventually become a charge on the

FAMILY SHAKEN UP WHEN
RIG is STRUCK BY CAR

A serious accident was narrowly
averted Thanksgiving evening when
the horse and buggy in which George
Hickman and family were driving
along Main street was struck by a
heavy car driven by Japanese from
Grand Junction.
Mr. and Mrs. Hickman state that
they were on the proper. side of the
street and that, while they saw the
car approaching, they were unable to
make a turn quickly enough to save
themselves.
The buggy was completely demol-
ished and Mr.. and Mrs. Hickman and
their two children were hurled to the
ground, Mrs. Hickman and her baby
receiving cuts and bruises on the
head. The others escaped with slight
scratches. The man driving the car
stopped at once and attempted to
assist them as best he could. 1t was
a narrow escape and while serious
enough, they are thankful that no
more grave effects were suffered.
