29.-Although sentenced to Auburn
prison for the rest of his life, at
the age of 20 years, for killing John
Real, an employe Of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad, Eugene Graham, of Court

imagine. He anticipates that he will
have the company of his parrot in his
cell.
Those who know Graham say he Is
arranging to deed his farm and his
sand and gravel business to one of his
children, but no money can induce
him to part with the parrot, which
has been his companion In Jail.
Graham, who has been a contractor
for many years, killed Real on the
CORTLAND Truxton highway, June 20.
He has been in Auburn prison before,
having served a term for arson.

Delta Chautauqua Shows
Deficit of About $500

Up to yesterday the Chautauuua
showed n deficit Of about $500 accord.
ing TO the Euarantors.
With such a good program as Is
being offered this year there should
he no deficit at all, 1t is true in the
past. perhaps, the programs have not
been mp to what was expected, but
certainly the past two years there can
be no true complaint against what is
being offered for the price paid.
The Chautauqua brings the enter
tainment right to the door Of every
one. If some OF those who patronize
out OF town shows at Grand Junction
and elsewhere, spending many times
the price Of a Chautauqua ticket, would
patroni2e as they should the Delta
Chautauqua would never run behind
1t is sort Of habit with some to
trade out away from home, merchants
and countryside alike. You cannot
get more out of anything than you put
in so IL you put nothing into a Chau-
tauqua ticket, or into trading at home.
nothing can be expected in return.

User of Delco Light
Operates Plant
Month for SOC

B. F. Stallings, representative in
this section for the Delco Light, re-
ports one of his recent installations,
which operated an entire month for
only soc.
The plant in question is that of L.
w. wilkins. at Midway, who installed
system last January at a cost of
about 1915. Mr.. wilkins lights up
everything in the home, yard, and all
the outbuildings, having 23 lights in
all. The cost of operation, according
to the user, has always been very
small. The recent report for the
month of June was but so cents, which
was more than a satisfactory outlay
according to Mr.. Wilkins.
For the country home the Delco
Lighting system seems to be in a class

CHARLESW0RTH FAMILY
RETURN FROM TRIP

John R. Charlesworth and family
returned from an overland trip to the
coast Monday afternoon. During his
trip, he covered $500 miles, visiting a
number of points of interest. At Bos-
ton, he attended the Elks' Grand
Lodge where they were accorded a
right royal welcome. They enjoyed a
free harbor ride around Boston harb-
or to the Charlestown Navy yards. At
the latter place, they were permitted
to board the "Old Constitution still
in the water-the vessel on which
Commander Paul Jones made his
memorable fight $50 years ago. They
were also privileged to visit a sub
marine and witnessed a sham battle.
They also witnessed an exhibition
of U. S. Coast guards at work saving
crew from a ship-wrecked vessel.
The ladies were taken for free auto
trips from Boston to Concord, the road
over which Paul Revere in Revolution
ary days travelled
Some time was spent at New York
City where the Charlesworth family
were at the time the Democratic cor
vention, and a number of visits were
made to Coney Island. While in New
York state they visited at the home
of Byron Charlesworth who is located
in Brooklyn.
On their trip to the coast, Mr..
Charlesworth reported bad roads in
Missouri, western Iowa, and Nebraska.
He stated the roads in those three
states are not to be compared with the
roads in Colorado On their way TO
the coast, they went by way of the
Ozarks, going over the Santa Fe Trail
through Kansas and Missouri. On
the return trip, they crossed the Adir-
ondack and Catskin mountains, and
after leaving Michigan City, Indiana
camped on the sand dunes of Lake
Michigan. They visited Niagara, and
spent a few days in Canada. On the
return trip they encountered the best
roads, and had no car trouble. They
travelled over paved roads from Boston
to within sixty-five miles of Clinton,
Iowa.

HARRY H. W0LBERT
GOING EAST SOON

For some weeks the resignation of
H. H. Wolbert as manager of the Del
ia Credit Association has been in the
hands of the directors. 1t being the
desire of Mr.. Wolbert to be relieved Of
his duties by August 10th. At this
time the family will go to Grand Mesa
Lakes for two or three weeks, and
thence go east about September 10th
for an indefinite stay. We understand
that the manufacture and introduction
of the lighting devices of the Motor
Curve Light Company are at a point
where Mr.. Wolbert will be needed in
Detroit. Inasmuch as Miss Dorothy
will be in school in Chicago all the
coming year, she will then be but 900
miles from Detroit Just how long they
will be in Detroit cannot now be told.
The Delta County Credit Association
was organized by Mr.. Wolbert last
October and Immediately became a
power for good among the merchants
and professional men of Delta county.
Practically every business firm,
doctor and dentist in the county. has
membership, and the work consists in
the compilation OF accurate informa-
tion upon every person in Delta
county as to the manner in which
they take care of their business OBJ
legations, so that extensions Of credit
may not be the hit or miss thing
which it has been in the past From
the credit files of the office 1t is
possible to get in a few minutes time
up TO date information upon everybody
and the merchants of the county re-
port that a decided change for the bet
ter has taken place in the paying hab-
its of large number Of people.
The association publishes a weekly
bulletin for the use of the member.
and contains the record of every
transaction Of the county records at
the Court House. all sales and trans
fers Of real estate, mortgages and re-
leases Of mortgage. and sales and
mortgages OF automobiles and other
property. Also all court cases.
The bulletin also devotes consider
able space to such methods and sug.
gestions as will educate people in
business in the modern ways of safe
guarding their credit extensions and
in the prevention of losses from bad
debts.

JOHN ELLIS WILL
OPEN BEAUTY PARLOR

John Ellis, proprietor of the Gem
shop on Main street, announced this
week that he is going to equip his
shop with an up-to-date beauty parloF,
where ladies can have the latest IN
everything in their tonsorial work and
beauty needs looked after in a most
satisfactory manner
Mrs. George Johnson will lave
charge of the shop. She has recent
ly taken post graduate course in the
new fads in haircuts. shampoos, fac
ial treatments as well as marcelling.
Mr.. Ellis says he is going to ad-
vertise to the men and ladies of this
community exactly what he has to
offer. In the past some few have
contended that the regular tonsorial
shop was not the proper place for
ladies to go, but this condition, If It
ever existed in the Delta shops, will
soon vanish. There is no reason
why the shop should not attract the
lady as well as the man.
Another point. says Mr.. Ellis, is to
remember the cutting OF hair is a
trade, and the ladies will have at their
command the men folks to Judge II
called upon. whether the work is
properly done, or they may have men
BARRIERS do their hair cutting.
The beauty parlor will open for
business about Monday, August 4

Sixty Dollars Stolen
from Grocery Saturday

Some one who evidently knew the
ropes OF the Pure Food Grocery enter
ed the store late Saturday evening
and touched up the cash register for
something around $50
The burglars entered the store by
means OF the transom. The checks
were left in the cash drawer and only
rhe silver lifted The theft was not
discovered until Sunday afternoon.
Marshal Beatty reports that he saw
two men in Terrell's restaurant be
tween one and two o'clock, who acted
rather nervous, but as the individuals
are in the habit OF being seen out
quite late he thought nothing strange
of their actions. Since the robbery
has been brought to light he IS keep
ing n close watch of these two char
acters, and It is quite likely some
thing tangible viii develop in the very
near future upon which to base
charges against them.

POOLING THE FARMER?

Carl Vrooman, former Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture, says:
A lot of political forecasters and
fourflushers are fooling themselves but
they are not fooling the farmer. The
farmers all know that the recent rise
in the price of grain is the result, not
of an act of congress, nor of an act
of Coolidge, but an act of God, name
W, crop shortage in Canada, Europe
and elsewhere.
Indeed, present grain prices are an
Indictment of the present administra-
ton. They demonstrate the ease ana
despatch with which the prices or
farm products could have been SINH
larry raised at anytime during the past
three years by the simple expedient
of disposing of our surplus crops
abroad
The ruinously low prices of 1921,
'22 and 1913 were caused by slight
production, resulting in small
surplus of grain. Instead of passing
tfThe Farmers Relief Bill in 1921,
and thus creating a Federal Export
Corporation to dispose of that surplus
to the best possible advantage, all
that craftsmanship has been able to
do during the past three tragic years
has been to STALL deplore and excuse,
until the accident Of unfavorable
weather conditions finally brought the
farmer measure of relief. Such an
