RAYMOND HUGHES

Sad indeed was the death of Ray
mond, eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jos.
Hughes of this city.
In runaway accident at the C. F.
G. I.mine Thursday morning, in which
trip of empty cars ran into load
ed trip, Raymond was so badly in
iured that he passed away at 1:3O a.
m. Friday, February 10, 1922.
After the accident he was taken
Immediately to the city hospital
where everything that was possible
was done for him. An operation was
deemed necessary, which seemed very
successful, however, he was so badly
injured internally that he passed on
within few hours.
Raymond was 20 years of age, a
very popular boy and truly one of
Crested Butte's own. He was MEM
ber of the male quartet at the U. C.
church and had many friends and as
sociates here. The funeral was held
from the church at IL a. m. Sunday,
Rev. Watt delivering very comfort
ing sermon, while both choirs rem
dered consohng music. His compan-
ions were pail bearers.
The many beautiful flowers which
were piled on the casket showed the
esteem in which this young man was
held.
Besides his mother and father there
are four sisters and five brothers, also
numerous other relatives, who are
left to mourn the loss of this dear
hoy.
On account of teams being unable
to break the road to the cemetery,
the casket was placed on toboggar
and team of about twenty men or
snow shoes wended their way to the
cemetery where:
Ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless universe
Is life-there are no dead.

Delta County Livestock AssocIatio


Delta County Livestock Association
Resolutions unanimously passed by
the Executive Board of the Delta
County Livestock Association, com
posing a membership of about 400
stockmen, practically all of whom are
users Of the National Forest.
Whereas, it has been called to our
attention that there is bill before
Congress to transfer the Forest Ser
vice in whole or in part from the De-
partment of Agriculture to the De-
partment of the Interior;
And whereas The Delta County
Livestock Association, composed al
most wholly of users of the National
Forest for grazing purposes is very
anxious that the policy of the Forest
Service be continued in the future
as it has been in the past, for the
protection of our water sheds, the
conserving of our supply of timber
and the protection of the interests of
the small as we'll as the large users
of the National Forest for grazing
purposes;
And whereas, this association feels
that the changing of the policy Of
the Forest Service which would re-
suit from its transferal from the De-
partment of Agriculture to that of
the Interior would result in modifi-
cation of the policy of the past to a
greater or lesser extent;
And whereas, we heartily approve
of this Department as evidenced in
the past ten years and carried on un-
der the Department of Agriculture
and believe that the continuation of
this policy will mean much to the
future of this country;
Therefore, be it resolved, that we
most forcibly oppose any attempt to
transfer the Forest Service or any
of its parts from the Department Of
Agriculture.
And, be it further resolved, that a
copy of this resolution be sent to
each of our Congressman, and Sem
ators and all publicity possible be
given our position in this matter.

GEO. C. WILSON, President.

The play ''Bashful Mr.. Bobbs" which

hit. The characters were well chosen

success and wishing there might be

Absent Minded

An Englishman visiting in this
country was invited to banquet
and one of the guests gave the fol-
lowing toast:
Here's to the happiest moment of
my life spent in the arms of another
mans wife-My Mother"
The Englishman. thinking it very
good, decided to remember it and tell
it when he returned to England
Upon his arrival in England he was
invited to banquet and was called
upon to give toast This is how he
said it: "Here's to the happiest mo-

tive societies, an increase of 609o
since the outbreat of the war. France
too, is turning to Cooperation. The
French co-operatives added 115,000
members to their ranks in 1920.
There are now 1000 consumers socie-
ties in France, land gigantic whole
sale owning many large warehouses.
The wholesale even owns hundreds of
railroad cars for the transportation
of goods produced at its own facto-
ries and wine grown in its own vine
yards.
Denmark is now practically a Co.
operative Commonwealth, and private
business in that country is being
forced out of existence. Austria re-
lies to large measure upon the CO,
operatives for its daily bread. Bel
gium with its enormous cooperative
bakeries and its fine cooperative
stores is building up new economic
order within the she'll of the old sys-
tenn.
Though the movement is only in it's
infancy in the United States, it is a
force to be reckoned with. Three
thousand stores, three-quarters of a
million co-operators, and a national
federation carrying on constant edu-
cational work, are pretty vigorous
beginning.
All these cooperative enterprises
are democratically governed by the
members on the principle of "One
vote for every member" Their busi-
ness policies are practically the same
all over the world-goods are sold at
prevailing market prices, but part of
the profit is distributed back to the
patrons, according to the amount of
their purchases, some of the profit
going towards the further expansion
of the movement, through the estab-
lishment of additional enterprises,
and through the spread of the idea of
Cooperation. Nff
Profiteering is being eliminated
through the Cooperative Movement.
The co-operatives are demonstrating
all over the world that self-govern-
ment is possible in industry, and that
the way to achieve it is through the
cooperative enterprises of the con-
sumers.
