PROSPECTS GooR FOR
BAND FOR DELTA

A petition is being circulated
among the business men of Delta this
week, to determine the possibility of
supporting a band during the months
May 1 to August 81 inclusive, such
band to give concerts on Main street
each Saturday evening.
1t is generally understood that the
Pea Green band, with some of the
very best talent on the Western
Slope, and who have already purchas-
ed several hundred dollars worth Of
instruments, will act in this capacity
for a very, reasonable amount of cash
per month.
This would be a fine thing for the
city and community, as everybody
knows what a band peans to town,
whether small or large.
The amount necessary from each
merchant would be very small. while
the return would be great.

so CENTS MORE FOR REETS
WILL BE PAID BY COMPANY

n. w. Draper of the Holly Sugar
returned from Denver
yesterday and announced that the
company will pay an additional soc
per ton to all last years growers,
within a very few days.
This is welcome news to all beet
raisers. This brings the price paid
per ton from $5.25 to s5.75. The ag-
gregate will be about $4,000, and the
entire amount paid to growers in
Montrose and Delta counties, approx
imatss 100000.
Prospects of the sugar market in
dicate that the average. with further
advances expected, will go over Sc
per ton.
A conservative estimate on acre
age available, is that double the
amount heretofore planted to beets
could easily be handled.
The contract the Holly people gave
the growers last year was the only
one that was an absolutely fair busi-
ness proposition to the growers. The
company assumed risk on the min
imum amount they would pay and if
they had been compelled to dispose
of their sugar at the end of the sea-
son at the prices prevailing their los
ses would have been several hundred
thousand. They were able to borrow
from the war finance corporation enuf
to tide them over and hold their su-
gar selling it in installments so the
result has been the farmers have pro-
flied by the sliding scale.

MRS. GUS ScHLAPP
PASSED AWAY SATURDAY

The community was shocked and
saddened shortly after noon Saturday
when word was passed from lip to
lip: Mrs. Schlapp is dead!'
Mrs. Schlapp had been about her
work as usual the day before and ear
ly in the morning was taken with
severe cold. Physicians were sum-
moned, but with her tendency to lung
trouble it was difficult matter to ef-
feet relief, and the malady which was
pronounced fu-pneumonia claimed
her in death shortly before 100
o'clock at noon.
Mrs. Schlapp was lover of Nature.
Whether the towering peaks of the
mighty Rockies. or the splendor of
the rainbow in the sky; whether a
bunch of violets or the companion
ship of little child. Her whole life
during the years the writer has
known her has been devoted to flow
ers, and as chairman of the Civic I'm
provement committee of the Woman's
club she owrked tirelessly to beauti-
fy the little city she called her home.
Truly may the words of Helen Marr
Wilson be said of her:
blows has some thogghts that do
often lie too deep for tears"
Many the child whose heart has
been gladdened by flowers from her
hands, and many the sick room made
brighter because of her loving service.
At the funeral service Wednesday
afternoon there were vast quantities
of flowers, eloquent tributes to her
beautiful life. and perhaps within the
province of the Master she can look
down and be glad.
And yet, we should not weep. 1t is
rather for us. the living to catch the
der our lives that within a brief span
of years we shall meet her again in
Gods beautiful garden of flowers.
Minnie Fancher was a daughter of
Henry and SyIvana Fancher, and was
born at Grant City. Missouri, on Sep
tember Z. 1872. Her mother died
when she was quite young and her
brother, Robert, took her to Chey-
enne, Wyoming at the age of 16 years
where she lived for several years.
In 1898 she was united in marriage
with Claude Dean, and to the union
one daughter was born, now Mrs.
Eileen Holten of Sparks. Kansas.
In June, 1902, Mrs. Dean was mar
ried to August Schlapp in this city,
the ceremony being performed by
Rev. rockingham, then pastor of the
Presbyterian church. The couple
have made their home here since that
time The deceased passed from life
February 25, 1922, at the age of 40
years months and IS days.
Mrs. Schlapp is survived by her
husband, August Schlapp; her daugh-
ter. Mrs. Holten. and daughter Edith;
