More Than Twelve Hundred Men, Wo*

One Hundred Americans
Among the Lost.
London, May 8.—The Cunard liner
Lusitania, which sailed out of New
York lust Saturday with more than
two thousand souls aboard, lies at
the bottom of the ocean off the Irish
coast. She was sunk by a German
submarine which sent two torpedoes
crashing into her side, while the pas-
sengers seemingly confident that the
great swift vessel could eluae the
German underwater craft were having
a luncheon.
How many of the Lusitania’s pas-
sengers and crew were rescued can
not be told at present, but the official
statement from the British Admiralty
up to midnight accounted for not more
than 500 or 600. A ship’s steward,
who landed with others at Queens-
town, gave it as his opinion that 900
persons were lost.
There were dead and wounded
among those brought ashore. Some
since have died, but not a name of
rescued or lost, of dead or injured,
has yet been listed.
The Lusitania was steaming along
about 8 knots off Old Head Kinsale
on the last leg of her voyage to Liv-
erpool, when about two o’clock in the
afternoon a submarine appeared sud-
denly, and so far as all reports go,
fired two torpedoes without warning
at the steamer. One struck her near
the bows, and the other in the engine
rom. The powerful agent of destruc-
tion tore through the vessel’s side,
causing terrific explosions. Almost
immediately great volumes of water
poured through the openings and the
Lusitania listed.
Boats, which were already swung
out on the davits, were dropped over-
board and were speedily filled with
passengers who had been appalled by
the desperate attack. A wireless call
for help was sent out and immediately
rescue boats of all kinds were sent
out from the neighboring points along
the coast and Queenstown.
LATER—Dispatches Monday esti-
mated the loss of life at 1,200, of
which number more than 100 were
American citizens. Among the num-
ber of prominent Americans who per-
ished were Alfred G. Vanderbilt, El-
bert Hubbard and wife, Justin M.
Frohman, Dr. F. S. vPearson, Chas.
Klein and others.
In Washington the situation, in
view of the loss of lives is considered
most grave. Nowhere in administra-
tive circles is there a disposition to
minimize it. Secretary Bryan called
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin to ask
the German Government for fits re-
port of the disaster.
The president councels all to remain
calm until the full facts are ascer-
tained, assuring them that full repar-
ation will be demanded as the facts
warrant.
FISHING IN EDGEWOOD BARK.
No one except stockholders and
their families are allowed to fish in
the lake at Edgewood park. All are
allowed the privilege of park grounds
but none other than stockholders and

Mr. B. B. Taylor, after spending a
week or a little more at Lake Creek,
reported lie had a good time eating
fried chicken and garden vegetables
and visiting children and grand chil-
dren. The most exciting of all was
the ball game on last Friday at Lake
Creek diamond between Lake Creek
and Enioe which resulted in favor of
Lake Creek by a score of 11 to 1. On
Saturday Lake Creek met Enioe on
their diamond and played again which
resulted in favor of Lake Qrcek again

A Hint That Should be Heeded by
Every Good Citizen of Cooper
and Delta.
When we want help for charitable
purposes we go to our business men.
When churches are to be built or
repaired we go to our business men.
When we need any firancial help
toward improving our town or county
we go to the business men.
When we are short of funds it is
to our business men that we go for
credit.
No matter how small or how great
the favor that we ask we count on the
hearty co-operation of the business
men of our home towns.
Therefore, when we have money to
spend we will send it to some cata-
logue firm or nearby city that has
never nor never will help us, or will
we spend it at home, where every
dollar placed in the channels of trade
will make more prosperous our city
and county and come back to us
through the medium of more work,
better wages and enhanced valuation
of our own property?
We know whereof we speak and
are frank to say that a large per
cent of the money sent out of Cooper
and Delta county for personal wants,
that should go to our local mer-
chants, is sent by the wealthy classes.
It is almost a daily occurrence for
the wife of some property owner,
bank director or retired farmer,
whose income is derived directly or
indirectly from the retail merchants
of Delta, to order from the catalogue
houses or go to neighboring cities to
purchase goods that can be had from
our local merchants. We have a
fairly complete list of Cooper citi-
zens, who purchase out of town but
it is not possible to estimate the
amount of money sent away in the
course of a given period.
It is co-incident also that many of
this same class is forcing our local
merchants to carry his or her ac-
count several months while they pay
the catalogue or mail order houses
before goods are shipped. Hq,w about
it, Mr. Man ? " * S % )i

Stores Close at 6:30 p. m.
The majority of our dry goods
stores have been closing the past week
at 6:30 p. m. in order to allow their
salespeople an opportunity to get
some recreation, work their gardens,
etc., and beautify their home grounds.
It is the intenetion of the proprietors
of stores to continue closing at 6:30
p. m. all summer providing they can
get the people to do their shopping
early. Every person should arrange
to shop early enough each day to al-
low this early closing to continue.
The grocers have not decided to
close as yet at the same hour as the
dry goods people but if our good folks
will place their orders early and not
buy after a certain time the grocery
men will in all probability follow suit
and close the same as the dry goods
men, 6:30 p. m. Let’s do our shop-
ping early. By so doing we will help
this good work. T ■'

Do It Now.
If you have any work to do, build-
ing, repairs, re-building, even defin-
ing up, do it now and you can help
along the general prosperity that is
surely coming to the whole country, ^
and above all to the Northeast and in j
which Cooper and Delta will most
certainly share. There are some who
need the jobs to help the temporary
depression that always falls on the
unskilled and to a lesser degree the
skilled laborers, in the lull of this
season.

The Mule.
The mule, he is a funny sight!*
He’s made of ears and dynamite;
His heels are full of bricks and
springs,
Tornadoes, battering rams and things;
He’s fat as any poisoned pup;
It’s just his meanness swells him up;
He’s always scheming 'round to do
The things you most don’t want him
to. f
The mule, he lives on anything;
He’s got a lovely voice to sing,
And when he lets it loose at noon
It Sounds like buzz-saws out of tune;
He stands around with sleepy eye
And looks as if he’d like to die,
But when there’s any dying done
It ain’t the mule—no sir, by gum!
Some folks don’t treat mules with
respect;
Say they ain’t got no intellect;—
That may be so, but if you’ve got
To go to heaven on the spot,
And want a way that doesn’t fail,
Just pull the tassel on his tail.
The mule, he tendR to his own biz;
He don’t look loaded, but he is.

Some of our merchant’s families
are guilty of buying away from Del-
ta. We know them—Quit it!
Real Worth vs. Low Coat
If you asked your butcher for
a porterhouse steak and he handed
you a cut of the flank and said,
"This doesn't cost as much and
is just as good," you wouldn't
believe him, would you?
Yet the butcher's statement
is just as truthful as an asser-
tion that inferior baking pow-
ders made of alum or phosphate of
lime are as good as Dr. Price's,
which is made from cream of
tartar.
Alum is a mineral acid salt,
declared by many medical authori-
ties unsafe to use in food.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Pow-
der is as pure and wholesome as
the grapes in the vineyard, from
which cream of tartar is derived.
The only reason for using such
substitutes as alum and lime
phosphates.is because their cost
is less to the manufacturer.
DR. PRICE'S CREAM BAKING POWDER
Made from Cream of Tartar
Did Y’ou Ever Think of It.
If you buy out of town and I buy out
of town, and the other fellows buy
out of town, what will become of the
Cooper and Delta county business?
Did you ever think of that?
