BASE BALL SEASON

The base ball season is about to
commence but as yet no city club
has been formed. Base ball is one
of the best of sports and should be
promoted in this city.
At Florence and many other places
near here they have good bail teams
and Canon City could just as well
have one also.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

NV " HvO SosNsus@H
There is nothing very sure in this
world, but freight and taxes.
+ + +
Many are called, but few get a
very good job.
We know a man who spent so much
time and energy getting even with
imaginary enemy that he lost a
mighty good thing for himself.
There is young fellow in Canon
who spends fifty Gently day for
cigars. He has been doing it for
about twelve years, although his
salary isn't large. If he had put that
amount into the Fremont Building
& Loan Association, instead, he
would now have a cash reserve of
about ,$3,50O or $4,000. Enough
to buy mighty nice home.
+ i. +
Don't smoke unless you can afford
it, but if you do smoke, be sure to
buy Canon made cigars. By doing
this you will get some of the money
back sometime.
1t seldom pays to buy things by
mail or away from home. We know
q fellow who bought pair of shoes
BY mail the other day. He paid $4
for them and 75c express. When
they came they didn't fit, and were
not as represented. He sold them
to another fellow for $3.50 and found
q better pair at Galley's for $3.50.
Hereafter he will buy his shoes in
town. Ut may look as if Galley is pay
ing for this-but he isn't-not even
BY pair Of shoestrings)

It's the same in all lines. Buy at
home ard you know what you get.
Buy a pig in poke and you never
know what you are getting until too
late.

A peculiar thing happened in
Guthrie, Oklahoma, the other day.
Frank Greer's newspaper plant burn
ed down. Loss about $500, 900, in
surance about $4,000. TIE unusual
part of it was that the citizens got
together the next day and raised
a bonus of $4,000, which was do
mated outright to the unfortunate
publisher. That was generous deed
and money put in good place.
1. + r
1t doesn't pay to be tricky. You
don't fool people half as often as you
think.

Several Canon business men tiatter
themselves vita the thought that
everybody knows them and their
stores. They are mistaken. Probably
half the people in town do not know
them and never 90 into their stores.
Such men make easy competition.
They as rule do not advertise.
We know one new business,ct least,
that came to the town during the
past year, because that particular
line was so poorly advertised. Said
they thought if the ads represented
those business houses, they were
dead easy competition, and that there
was certainly room for one more.
There are several lines in Canon very
poorly represented in the local news
papers.
How many clubs should a married
woman belong to? Husbands are in
vited to send in their opinions on the
matter. Names will be held in con-
fidence.
The Clipper treats the Bucklin Bill
.,s if it were serious matter. We
haven't heard soul speak of that
ludicrous measure except in a spirit
of jest and contempt. Most questions
have two sides to them, but with the
Bucklin Bill there seems to be but
one sentiment in this section-that
of opposition.
Did you ever see a county officer
who came out of his term better
fixed financially than when he went
in? We never have. AS rule the
fellow who chooses politics for pro-
fit makes a mistake. Had Jos.

Fredrickson, Judge Cooper and Judge
Bailey never accepted an office, but at
tended strictly to their business or
profession, without exception, they
would all be vastly better off today.
Yet there are many people who envy
them their jobs.

In its efforts to get the fire in
surance rates reduced, the Business
Mems association is doing a good
thing. Fire insurance rates in Canon
City are altogether too high. Every
possible effort is being made here to
reduce the risk from fire. We have
a well equipped paid fire department,
and the police officers try to keep
things cleaned up and in proper shape.
In some parts of town the rates are
so high they are prohibitory. 1t pays
people to carry their own insurance
in some sections. We wish the Bust

ID REPRESENTATIVES Of the twelve
n clearing house banks met vester-
day afternoon to consider the
proposition. which is generally favored
oy the banks. to charge customers a
uniform rate for exchange on out-of-
Town checks, drafts purchased and for
acting as trustee in escrow. While the
proposed schedule was generally con-
CURED IN as the proper means of put
ing an end to discrimination between
banks and patrons. it was decided that
the draft needed slight modification
and II was referred to the committee on
rules for unimportant revision. To be
reported at meeting to be held in two
weeks.
After the meeting it was stated that
there IS no doubt of the proposition
winning unanimous adoption in sub
stantially the same form as was rec
commended by representatives of six Of
the leading banks.
Inc statement WAS made by one of
the bankers. who participated in the
meeting. that the proposed schedule is
the result of three months delibera-
ton upon the propriety of conducting
business in the same fair way which
obtains in all the leading cities of the
country.
In this city the custom has been to
charge some patrons for exchange and
for acting as trustee in escrow agree
ments and at the same time doing this
service free for other patrons without
there being any sound reason for thus
discriminating Then the rate Of ex-
change varies at different banks As to
escrow service. it is claimed that in
many instances the contracts are loose /
~ drawn and when a bank IS called
upon to determine as between the
parties hOy the contracts ought to he
COnst led, a responsibility. which is !
somtr. YES hazardous, COnfronts the |
banker, who frequently gets nothing
for his service.
It is admitted, however, that the |
banks viii profit largely, or at least /
will not lose so much money on free |
service, while the patrons viii bear |
the burden, amounting to several thou /
sands of dollars yearly in this city, by |
the new plan of charging d uniform
rate and doing away with +
former methods.
