J. S. HENDERSON Is
READY TO AUCTlONEER

]. S. Henderson is again looking
after number of auction sales in the
county this fall, and says he is ready
for more. Mr.. Henderson came to the
valley seven years ago and located on
California Mesa. Soon after coming
here Mr.. Henderson was appointed as
organizer for the State Farmers I'm.
ion, and did this work among the
farmers as we'll as being one of the
promoters of the Delta County Supply
Co., which he served as one of the
directors. He has held other offices
which have shown the respect of the
people for him.
About year ago Mr.. Henderson de-
cided to go back to his old work-that
of an auctioneer, in which he was ex-
perienced for many years. His first
sale proved that. Mr.. Henderson was
still an auctioneer of great ability, and
since that time the faith of the people
who arranged for his services have
been rewarded. He cried many sales
last year and is ready for action
again this fall. A number of sales
have already been listed by Mr.
Henderson and he is ready to book
more.

THRIFT

Thrift is fast becoming a national
habit The first step in this direction
is to put yourself on cash basis. The
merchants and business houses of Del
ia are not capitalized to loan money.
Selling merchandise is their business.
When you ask them to carry your ac-
count, it means a loan to you of their
goods, which represents money. These
accounts tie up his working capital
and increase his overhead cost of do
ing business. Accounts should be paid
promptly. Banks are organized to loan
money. If you are short of money to
make the purchases you need. make a
loan at your bank and pay cash for
what you buy.

evening was a jolly affair, with nearly
everyone appearing in costume. Prizes
were offered for the best witch and
the best ghost costumes but most of
the masqueraders had chosen other
DISCUSSES. so the prizes were given to
the best lady and best man, the latter
proving to be Miss Ruth Myder who
was very effectively disguised as a
young man. The lady's prize went to
Miss Elizabeth Stanfield
The dance was given to raise funds
for application on the piano debt at
the Community Rooms and about $50
was cleared. Doughnuts, gingerbread
and cider were served during the
evening to the appreciative crowd and
the Tennessee Serenaders furnished
their usual fine music.

A REAL OLD FASHIONED

A minstrel show is always minst-

minstrel show. In the coming engage
ment Of MILO'S "all white" minstrels
there is promise of old time fun and
Jokes from two of Americas leading
blackface comedians, George Twyan

good old songs and dances and laugh
ter which takes one back to the time
when the real old minstrel was the
joy of everyone's heart, even to the

And music! Oh, boy, when Maxine

a wonderful big voice, and Olive with

THE CALL OF THE WILD
Migratory Fowls and Birds
Passing All Hours of the
Day and Night for Northern
Nesting Grounds.

Never in years, claim the old
timers, have wild fowl and birds
migrated north in such numbers
as they have been doing the past
week. Night time seems to be
the favored hours for the flight
in this section and thousands up
on thousands are passing this sec
ton for nesting grounds farther
north.
Geese, ducks, cranes and other
fowls who have spent the winter
months south and on the west
coast are now travelling in mann
moth focks northward. Green Bay
reports that a few day ago there
was one big flock of ducks, num-
bering thousands, which settled in
the bay near that city and were
viewed by hundreds of people
They stopped for rest period
while on their long flight north
ward for the summer. Geese in
numbers have been seen almost
every day going north.
Deer have broken out of their
winter quarters within the past
week and taken over their old sum-
mer grounds. While they appear
very thin still old timers claim
that the past winter has not been
very hard upon ~them on account
of the light snowfall in the lake
region.
Partridge and prairie chicken
have wintered finely, and those
birds may be seen in the openings
and along old roads almost any
hour of the day. Given a good
Matching season and this Northern
section will see more partridge
and grouse this fall than any
time prior The five day hunting
season on game birds has proved
savior for them, and this fall
will see some wonderful focks in
the woods and openings in this
section.
Nature is certainly lavish in her
care of game birds and animals
and no more beautiful sight can

highway or game birds flushing
alongside the wheels of an auto
as the traveller is speeding along.

claim to be sportsmen, who defy
the shortened hunting season and
hunt without any regard for life
or limit in game. Why not be a
sportsman?
