associated with over 700 other young
women and men whose homes are
scattered over seventeen states, and
including students from the Philip
pines. Canada. Japan and China They
are studying to become teachers,
profession that has more recently
been placed on the high plane where
it belongs and which is demanding
the highest types of men and women
and the best of educational attain
ments.
In view of present-day conditions in
the educational world. the people of
Delta look for her young people who
have gone to Colorado State Teach
ers College to return well trained for
the high calling they have chosen.

Trucks and Narrow Tire Wagons

Are loaded beyond their capacity
many times, and this in itself is well
nigh fatal to good smooth roads, and
we would respectfully ask your CO.
operation along this very line, and
that is: DO NOT LOAD so HEAV-
lily. We believe that you can make
many more trips and with much more
safety and comfort over good roads.
We feel pretty sure that much of the
heavy loading is done through thought
lessness rather than selfishness. Ac-
cording to law the maximum weight
of any one load must not be over
10000 pounds.
Equipment
According to inventories filed jan
uary -. 1919, there was a total of
$4.944.50 worth of road equipment to

How Did We Do It?

T1o~ ol0 VIC W ~
In other words. if our road revenue
in two years and eight months was
$1SS. $685. and we spent in actual
cash on our roads and equipment
s192 63l23 and acquired s10O.143.7S
increase in road equipment and do
not owe a dollar on it, how was it
accomplished?
When Truth Gets a Chance to Work
1t is easily explained. Your Board
of County Commissioners have been
accused of going to Denver and
squandering a lot of money on what
some have pleased to call ''Junketing
Trips" whatever they are.
Denver
We did go to Denver. We spent
some money. and we have over s75,-
600 worth of road equipment given to
us. wholly and solely as a result of
these trips.
There Were Others
There were other County Commits
sieners there to get these same trucks
and equipment that were given to us
through the government by the state.
plenty of them. and many of them had
DunCn Ol DOOSltTS lTolll lutI OWL
county seat, and with expenses paid
out of their own county funds to help
them out 1--WE did not have one). but
we did get on the job early. and
we must have had some inside in
formation, don't you think?
Expenses
Our expense accounts for these
trips are on file for anybody to see,
aud there is not a single item that
we are ashamed of or that is not fully
allowed by law. These and all other
expenditures are published in the Of
fetal county paper each month.
Harmony, the Strength Of All
Institutions
May we say that one of the big
reasons for this remarkable showing
is harmony and cooperation among
ourselves. our employees, the various
counties surrounding us and espe-
tally the State Highway Commits
sion. and we feel truly grateful to
each and every one who has helped
TO make Delta County what she really
is. one of the best and finest equipped
counties in the State of Colorado.
Comparisons Are odious
And usually merit contempt. We
are not attempting comparisons with
any previous administration of county
affairs: We are only giving you the
facts as they exist, although we may
feel mighty proud of our record.
Respectfully submitted.

Just a Word. Please

With reference to cost of mainte-
nance and operation of these trucks
and tractors, may we advise that a
careful record kept shows and proves
their efficiency beyond the question of
doubt and the records of others also
prove the same thing.

Queer Business You Will Say

to be added to that are outstanding

ing the enormous increase of work

Rains. Rains and More Rains
The season just passed has been
one of the most terrible and trying
one in the history of Delta county
because of water. Bridges. roads and
highways have been ruined so many
times we have not the space to enum-
crate them and at times 1t has been
impossible to secure enough teams
and men to keep even the highways
in repair. without considerable delay,
and this extra expense alone has
reached into thousands of dollars that
should and would otherwise have been
devoted to resurfacing and building
better bridges and culverts.

ISSUE
FINANCIAL STATEMENT

Statement from the County Commits
sioners relative to their expenditures
from January. 1919, to September,
1921:
Last spring a large body of voters
held meeting to discuss the County
Commissioners. Someone had told
someone else the taxes for 1921 were
raised clear out of all reason and that
the county funds were being misap-
propriated, so without further invests
cation it was decided to come to Delta
in body and demand a statement
and explanations.
This was done and it was found and
agreed that the county funds were not
only being appropriated entirely to
the best interests of the people but
that they were being used economic
ally as WELL and it was further agreed
that there should be some way de-
vised whereby more publicity could
be given the people of county funds.
expenditures and results, other than
that provided by law.
AS a result of that meeting little
booklet has been prepared at our own
tlIDe anu lHulNluudl tApcuSc anu oCto
forth truthfully and accurately just
what the present board has done in
the past two years and eight months
and are doing today. together with a
true statement of revenues, expenses
and property on hand.
We sincerely invite your close in
yestigation of any and every item
made in the following statements:
our books are open to any taxpayer
in the county and the County Clerk
will help you in any way you may de-
sire. and if any one tells you that
there is a single mis-statement. we
ask you to be fair and investigate it
for yourself before passing judgment.
If there are other funds or expenses
you want to know about kindly take
it up with us personally and we will
be glad to go into detail. The State
Auditor checks every item annually
and his reports are on file in the
County Clerks office.

Common Sense

S250,000. The rooming capacity of the
hotel will be 100 or more.

The money is being raised by popu.
lar subscription, no one man or group
of men having anything like control.
IL is understood that the largest sin.
gle stock subscription is $4,000. and
IL is expected that the total number Of
stockholders will be nearly one thou

The shares are 100 each. $40 of

$40 a month every so days thereafter,
thus giving total of 20 months, or
until July l, 1923, to complete the

offered to lease the hotel for term

The campaign committee for the ho-
tel is especially anxious to distribute

NEW CITY HALL FOR

APPROVAL OF CITIZENS

Does Champaign need new city
hall?
This is the question that is being
answered in bot hthe affirmative and
negative, according TO whether the an
swerer believes the old dilapidated
building is good enough for a city OF
the importance of Champaign, or
whether this great educational center
should be possessed of municipal
center worthy OF its surroundings.
There has been much talk pro and
con about a new city hall for several
years, and renewed discussion was oc.
casioned two weeks ago when the
Twin City Federation of Labor declar.
ed for the new building. and appointed
committee to take the matter up
with other Champaign organizations.
Prior to the war IL was practically
decided TO have new city building.
Then along came the war aud the mat
ter was dropped. Now, however. it is
felt that the neew for a new building
is just as pressing as 1t was before
the war. and in conformity with the
recommendation of the unemploy-
ment conference held in Washington
that public improvements be started
