A plan was evolved last night to
begin campaign to be known as the
Zone Of the Four Hundred" The
term is attractive and the object
commendable, and If Canon City can
push this movement through success
fully in = few weeks it would give 70
the city the proud distinction Of hav-
ing the largest membership in Amer
ica for its size, and stimulate other
associations to prosecute similar cam
paigns.
The work on similar lines in Water
bury. Connecticut. and Colorado
Springs under General Secretary Days
direction was considered, and the re-
suits of last nights rally were much
more promising than in either Of the
above fields when we consider the pop
ulation of the cities The campaign
was outlined as follows: 1t is to be
. contest to BE- known - Reds and
Blues;- Robt. Amick was elected cap
tain Of the Reds and WI. Fisher Of

Are you one Of the 400!- This
Is the question that win Be put to
nearly every man and boy in Canon
City and vicinity within the next three
weeks. Many have been asked Al
ready and many have answered In the
Affirmative. That is the only way to
answer 1t. II You are not, then you
ought to be. II 10 large number to
b. secured in the shots space Of
three weeks, but that only enhances
the interest In the race. It is big
proposition, but It - not impossible;
and II II is possible then it is proba-
ble.
Fifty men have banded themselves
together in two sides Of twenty-five
each. One side Is known - the
''Reds," the other the Blues" and
they will endeavor to outdo each
other in securing new members for
the Y. N. C. A. Each side is well
organized and ofHcersd and will do its
best TO outdo tho other. New mem
hers as they join are added to the
side securing them. At the close Of
the contest the victorious side will
be the guests Of honor at an oyster
banquet ard Will be waited on by the
defeated ones.
Much enthusiasm u being shown
among the men from Mayor Cone down
and hefore . week y passed Il will b
safe to predict that about every man
woman and child will have arrayed
themselves on either one side or ths
other.
