ICED CARS RUN DAILY
GRAND JUNCTION TO DELTA

On Tuesday. the Denver & Rio
Grande established through refriger-
alton from Grand Junction TO Delta.
This is the first time in the history
of the road that such a service has
been given to Delta
The new service will enable our
grocers and meat men to have their
perishable commodities arrive here
under ice. Heretofore shipments were
made in the usual way, and during the
hot summer days much damage was
encountered by the shipper and the
retailer in such commodities. The ad-
ded service should be greatly appreci-
ated by not only the retailers but by
the general public. as it is now pos
sible to receive all vegetables and
meats from the Grand junction dis
tributors in first-class shape.

TOO EARLY TO USE
SPRAY SAYS EXPERT

Many growers OF Paonia. Austin.
Hotchkiss, Crawford. Eckert. Red.
lands Mesa and Cedaredge sections
are wondering about the time for the
next spray for Cooling Moth control
No moths Of the second brood have
emerged to date. II Is expected that
they will begin 10 emerge any day at
Austin, whereas at the higher eleya.
tions the first emergence will be a
week or ten days later. Until there is
an appearance OF the moths no def
mite date can be set II will be we'll
for those Interested to keep In touch
with the Paonia office as to deyelop
ments. The time from the appearance
OF the first moth to the time for the
completion OF the cover spray vary
from IA to % days with an average OF
IS days. This variation is due to the
weather conditions which directly in
| fluence the activities of the moth
II is hoped that this article may ward
off untimely spraying by growers who
are not in touch with the situation
A cover spray at the present time will
not do enough good To pay for the
trouble OF putting It on.
At Austin and Delta It will probably
come somewhere between the 10th and
the goth OF the month. whereas at the
other points throughout the county II
will probably occur about the las,
week OF the month or later according
to weather conditions. Watch tho
papers for further notice and make
use OF the telephone. Some parties
took a tnetative spray date as con
elusive from previous article and did
not check up the developments. and
consequently applied one cover spray
little prematurely. DO not make the
same mistake.

culturist. Is in touch with the PaonIa
office. and will gladly answer any
calls in regard to spray dates

UNABLE TOSOLVE
 CLAYTON BLAST
Peculiar Explosion Occurs In
 Court House-Woman Is
 Slightly Hurt

CLANTON, Ala, Jan. 23.-A very peculiar and mysterious explosion oc- cured this afternoon about o'clock in the commissioners court room of the court house in Cianton. The com missioner's court had been in session in the room all day, and had just finished their work and adjourned Miss Delene Burnett, chief clerk for the probate judge was sitting at the desk writing out some papers. Judge l.. H. Reynolds, Mir. 5J. NJ. Mims and Judge A. L. Driver of Randolph county were in the room. Everything in the room was perfectly quiet, when an explosion of some& sort went off in the drawer of the desk where Miss Burnett was sitting, which made about the fuss of the shot of, a pistol,
 The explosion was powerful enough to severely shock the hand of Miss Burnett and split crack in the top of the desk about four feet long in plank an inch thick. There was noth- ing the drawer of any importance. After the explosion no sign could be found in the drawer except some small bits of something that resembled burnt tissue paper and small bit of burnt powder. The drawer or the desk were not moved in any way to have caused anything in the drawer to explode.
 Due to the fact that the commission CTS court had been in session in the room all day and that no children had been in the room or any kind of fire works been handled around there, the explosion has baffled every one who was present and all who have inves tigated the incident. No reason can be assigned for such occurance whatever.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Ratifica- tion of the Mexican conventions by the Senate clears the path, so far as the United States is concerned, for an ex- change of ambassadors with the Obre- gon government. This will be done as soon as the Mexican senate completes ratification of the conventions, one hay ing already been approved
 Since R. B. Creager of Texas de- clined to accept the appointment as am bassador to Mexico, President Coolidge has been casting about for suitable man. He has considered John Barton Payne, head of the American Red Cross, and one of the negotiators of the pres ent claims convention.
 Developments within the last 24 hours gave encouragement to the ad- ministration in its policy of fostering aid to the Obregon government. Mill tary dispatches to the Mexican em- bassy were to the effect that the rebel defenses on the west coast have col lapsed completely. General Estrada unable to hold his troops intact in face of the federals, has evacuated Quad alajara. the rebel stronghold.
 A column of Obregon troops. under cover of an airplane escort, is advacine to take possession of this region. Cav. airy units are pursuing the scattering rebels. The city of Victoria, capital of Tamaulipas shas been retaken by the federals.
 Tt is the plan of President Obregon to follow this tremendous disintegration of the rebels in the west with com. plete and orderly consolidation of the country" the Mexican embassy an nounced.
 Meanwhile the state department has been officially advised that the rebels at Vera Cruz have issued orders for removal of all mines and Instructions from the ports of Vera Cruz, Puerto Mexico and Frontera, as demanded by the United States.
 The cruiser Omaha and the six Amer. ican destroyers have arrived at Vera Cruz to await further orders. They will stand by until the present com motion subsidies.
