DON'T FORGET COVERED
WAGON BALL OCTOBER Is

Have you begun to think about your
costume for the Covered Wagon ball
October 10? There will be all kinds
of costumes there and prizes will be
given to the lady and gentleman hav-
ing the best costumes. Costumes of
pioneer days will be in order and a
number of people have already signi-
fled their intention of attending the
ball in full regalia of these never-to-
be forgotten days. The Delta Inde-
pendent is sponsoring this ball, which
will be one of the most novel and
long remembered events of this ma
ture ever held in Delta.
"The Covered Wagon" which comes
to the Colonial and Rialto theaters for
a week, beginning October 13, is the
inspiration for this dance. This is one
of the greatest photo plays ever made,
IL not the greatest one. 1t pictures
the actual life of the pioneers; while
it is full of thrilling moments, trials
are not overdrawn and the pictures
are real-things that actually happen
ed to pioneers crossing the plains in
great covered wagons. To the pio-
neers we owe our great country of
today; to them goes the honor of
our civilization and conveniences all
over this vast country today; their
story is the story of all time-it is
real and fascinating to all. Everyone
in this western territory should be in
terested in the unfolding of the story,
showing the way of the pioneer and
how these brave men and women
struggled to give us such an heritage
as they left to us.
You will always regret it if you

Rainy-Day Precautions
in Care of Wearables

Wet garments should be dried at
once and properly or they will mildew
and get out of shape. Coats should
be brushed to remove any dust which
the dampness Is likely to hold, then
placed on a hanger where there will be
q free circulation of air. 1t Is some
times desirable to press garment
when 1t is nearly dry to restore the
surface, finish and proper crossings
In such case, put piece of thin,
white cloth between the iron and the
material.
Skirts should be brushed also and
put on a hanger Of the right shape.
Umbrellas should be dried by placing
on their handles with the tip up. This
is to prevent rotting Of the fabric
where the ribs come together. Avoid
putting an umbrella up when 1t is wet,
as 1t bends the ribs to stretch the
wet cloth over them, and the umbrella
is never likely TO close properly af-
forwards. Never permit an umbrella
rack to be crowded full as some one
is sure to force the point of an UNI
brella through the cover of another
one.
Damp shoes should be dried slowly,
otherwise the leather will crack, and
after they are dry they should be
dressed to renew the finish.
