UNUSUAL DEMONSTRATION
OF PARENTAL INSTINCT

Mr.. and Mrs. w. D. Hines returned
the first of the week from GranS
Junction and Fruita. At Grand
Junction they visited the c. H. Allen
family, former residents OF Delta, and
there hey witnessed very interest
ing as well as pathetic incident.
A hen of the Aliens stole her nest in
their tool shop and a quail decided to
use the same nest in cooperation with
the hen. After laying her eggs, the
quail in some manner was killed,
leaving the unmatched eggs. Upon
discovering this, the male bird took
the nest and sat on the eggs, sharing
the nest with the hen. However, the
quail eggs had apparently been chill
ed before he discovered that his mate
was gone and no birds Matched.
AS the little chickens Matched out
he tried in vain to coax them to fol-
low him, so anxious was he for some
babies to take care of and make up
for the loss of his mate. Only three
of the eggs of the hen hatched, the
second one four days after the first
and the third one six days after that.
Each time hope sprang anew in the
breast of the quail and he thought he
might at last have baby.
But the little chicks were taken
into the house for care as they hatch
ed and in time the hen left her nest.
But the mourning quail still hoping
for some little ones, still sits on the
nest. A month has passed since the
chicks came out, but the quail still
sits and hopefully waits for the
sound of a cheep from the dead eggs.
A most unusual show of the parent
al instinct and desire to have babies
of his own is being made by the de-
voted quail. Those who have heard
his story are stirred with sympathy
for the lonely bird longing for his
mate and hoping for babies to COM
pensate for her loss and to give him
something to live for and work for.

The water situation in this vicinity
is becoming desperate
The Fire Mountain Canal, one of our
big waterways was shut down last
week for the first time in the history
of the big ditch, which was construct
ed 25 or 80 years ago. Fortunately the
general crops have matured, but in
many instances the farmers are handi-
capped for stock water. This is a
good time to test out the question
whether the farmers are legally en-
titled to water for domestic purposes
or not, regardless Of priority rights
Our city supply is running the full
decree and many of the ranchmen are
receiving moderate flow from reser-

FARMERS UNIOHS' PLEA
TO PRESIDENT ANSWERED

The locals of the Farmers Unions
of Delta, Ash Mesa and Olathe recent
ly sent telegram to President Cool
idge in regard to the tariff regulation
on sugar, urging the importance of
keeping this as 1t is for the benefit of
this valley. The full text was pub
lished in the Independent,
They have received the following
letter in reply, which is addressed to
]. T. Crawley OF the Delta local:
Permit me to acknowledge the
receipt of the telegram sent by
yourself and others and to say
that I shall be glad to bring it to
the attention OF the President
when he takes up for considera-
tion the report of the Tariff Com
mission on the matter referred
to.-Sincerely yours, C. B. Slemp,
Secretary to the President"
Thus the beet growers Of this valley
are assured that their claims will be
considered when the matter of the
tariff commission comes up for de
cision. The lowering of the tariff
would lower the price of sugar, throw
ing the foreign products, produced
with much CHEAPER labor than can be
obtained here into competition with
ours and this would work a hardship
not only on the farmers but every
one else in this and other sugar beet
sections.

Another thing of special interest
to the people of this county and
neighboring counties will be the ex-
hibit of Canadian grains and grasses
entered by the Canadian Bureau of
Information, who have been offered
space by the local directors for the
exhibit. In addition to the special
premiums offered by the local merch-
ants, the International Harvest Com
pany, thru the county dealers, is of
fering a Primrose Cream Separator

held at the Fair. Each person enter.
ling the fair grounds will be given a
ticket upon which he will be request.
ed to enter his name and address and
state how many cows, if any, he is
milking. These tickets will be de.
posted in a box at the Dairy booth
and during the sport program on the
closing day of the Fair ten names will
be drawn from tthe box. The tenth
name drawn, if the owner of one or
more milk cows will be awarded the
