WHY NOT
OPERATE CAN
MING FACTORY?

with our many acres of valuable
lands productive with almost any kind
of crop, our attention has been called
10 the Delta Canning factory Among
those who have suggested that some
means be put forward which would
enable the local canning factory to
operate and to pay the growers OF
vegetables and fruits a living wage
by r. J. Horshman Of Cory
Mr. Harshmun is one OF the old
time residents of Delta county and
his observation, having been n county
commissioner and a representative to
the state fair for years and years,
makes him, perhaps. one of the best
posted men upon these matters in
western Colorado
II Is MIR. Harshman's belief that
some way can be found whereby our
suitable lands can be planted to
tomatoes. string beans. and other
vegetables which would yield profit
to the grower. The canning OF cher.
ries. and fruits should find ready
market others have expressed a
like opinion, We have the soil and
the canning factory, there should be
some way TO grow products for the
canning factory: and there should be
some way whereby the factory could
run at n profit.
Isn't the matter worth considering

Asks Our Aid
For Rescue Home

Capt Lottie Schcn OF the Salvation
Army has been released from the
temporary charge OF the Muutroso
field and viii devote her time TO
more extensive service. She is here
this week particularly in the interests
OF unfortunate girls.
The Salvation Army headuuartprs
has arranged for the purchase o..
some property in one OF the peuygr
suburbs which is To be converted
into a rescue home within the near
future The home will be purchased
and equipped at a total cost OF ap.
proNimatcly $4,000 and the Army is
asking the entire state to participate
In the obligation. They have asked
Delta County TO furnish $500 OF which
5000 is expected 10 come from the
city OF Delta and immediate vicinity
This is Capt. Schcll's mission hero
this week and she states that it more
than the $500 asked for is secured
II will be kept here for local COM
munity relief work.
Misfortune and hoarthrcaks know
no favorites and have no particular
places to seek their prey, Heretofore
girls who have been deceived or met
with trouble OF various kinds have
only been cared for outside OF the
state, There is no such institution
within the State OF Colorado and it
is a wise move on the part of this
truly Christian organization to make
such provision.
Contributions may be left at the
Independent office. or with c, H.

VALVE CAP IS
IMPORTANT
To TIRE
This Accessory Performs
Same Function as Dust
proof Watch Case

The valve cap is to the tire vaHve
what the dustproof case is to the
works OF a watch. 1t is just as
important to the tire valve and the
air in the tire as is the cab to the
gas tank. The gas tank cap keeps
dirt, dust and water out Of the gas.
The valve cap keeps dirt and mud
out OF the inside of the tire valve.
While the long dust cap that covers
valve stem is an important tire
valve accessory the valve cap is 100
times more important
IL foreign matter gets down on
the valve inside it Is likely to clog
the mechanism OF the inside so that
the air-control seat cannot function
properly.
This is easy to avoid. Replace.
ment Of a valve cap takes only a
second Or two. Motorists who
realize the importance of using
valve caps carry extras in their
cars for emergencies. They can be
bought wherever motor accessories
are sold.
Many car owners are not aware
that the standard type of valve caps
with which they have been familiar
for years not only keep out dust
and dirt but are also absolutely air
tight and can be used in an emer-
gency as a secondary seal over the
mouth of the valve. This particu-
lar valve cap has a dome shaped
swivel rubber washer reinforced by
an arched metal support that Is
vulcanized into the washer. This
prevents the washer from being dis.
torted and depressing the valve pin.

hampered by the worn out car and
it's irresponsible driver
From one point or view car manu-
facturers do not favor the junking
of the older models because Of the
parts business which these cars
bring. This objection, however, Is
virtually ruled out by the manu-
facturers themselves who explain
that it is not only costly to keep ?
stock of parts for the comparatively
few customers who are operating
back numbers, but that the pirate
parts people cut in on what little
business is done with motorists who
are squeezing the last few miles on.
of the old cars.
Manufacturers and legitimate
dealers do very little business with
motorists who are trying to keep
their old cars from the junk heap.
The removal OF these cars from
active use, therefore, generally is
not viewed as Gripping in any way
the legitimate parts business.
Public Must Share Cost.
While it is assumed that at the
present close pricing of new cars
it would not be possible to buy
hack and junk old cars without ask
ing the public to share the cost CT
the process, 1t must be recognized
that this is a very different process
from the direct junking Of cars oy
the public. No matter how worth
less the old car may be the owner

and he will pags it along to some
one eIse-even though he receives but
sos or $50 for It, 1t is human
nature. The more complicated process
of having tile manufacturer BUY
back the car is, therefore, viewed
as the best means of getting around
the hazards incident to yielding to
human nature.
Instead of having the old car pass
along to some irresponsible person,
