RURAL SCHOOL WILL HOLD
CONTEST HERE SATURDAY

The winners in oratory and spelling
from the various school districts of
Delta County will engage in inter
district contests here tomorrow to de-
termine the winners from the county
to attend state contest in Denver
next week.
Owing to the fact that there were
no funds available for the trip to
Denver, several OF the schools have
not entered, which Is an unfortunate
circumstance and 1t appears from a
little foresight could have been easily
obviated. The expense covering the
two contestants amounts to about
$4,000.
The Rocky Mountain Times Publish
ing Co., offered 100000 in gold to the
winner in oratory: the Outwest Pub
fishing Co, of Colorado Springs the
same to the winner in the spelling
contest; Syman Bros. eJwelry Co.. Of
Denver will give gold medals to each
of the winners and Carl 8. Milliken,
Secretary OF State. offers shot gun
to the boy and q kodak to the girl
who wins. Other minor presents will
be given those winning second and
third places in the contest. These
prizes are we'll worth striving for and
we trust that a part of them at least
will come over to Delta County pupils.
The contest is open to pupils from
7th and Sth grades.

Agricultural Notes.

Shall we have all of the cows OF
Charles county free from Tuberculo-
SIS ? What would be the advantage
OF such move on the part of people
Can it be done without very great
expense 2
| will answer these questions as to
advantage and.expense and let the peo-
pie of the county answer the first.
First, as to advantage. The dread
disease in human beings makes it very
desirable that we do every thing in our
power to remove every possibility OF
getting the disease from our families.
1t has been shown in New York City
that very large per cent OF the Tu-
bercdlosis of that city is from the use
OF meat or milk of tubercular animals.
Washington City will not let any milk
from an untested COW come into thaf
city 10 be consumed by the citizens.
Do we of Charles county think any
less of our children than Washington
does of her children Then when we
get tuberculRr free lot of cows in
this county they will be enhanced in
value about 70 per cent. This is an
estimate by one county where they
have every COW tested. 1t will pay in
dollars and cents and more than pay
in the assurance of our health.
As TO cost. 1t is estimated we have
about COCO head of stock in this coun.
ty. DR.. L. X. Ladson, in charge OF
Tubercular eradication in the State,
says that it will not cost us over $500
dollars to test every head of cattle in
the county. And if it is done through
his department he will guarantee in
demnity for any cattle that we may
lose from the disease. Not over SO
cents head to increase the value oil
our stock % per cent. Shall we do It'll
Let me hear from you who think well
OF this.
