PATRIOTIC ADDRESSES
TO BE GIVEN IN THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS HERE

In pursuance of custom establish
ed by the Grand Army of the Republic
a few years ago. patriotic addresses
will be given In most of the public
schools throughout the country at
some time during the current month
1t is the intention to have interesting
talks made on patriotic subjects un-
der the supervision of the local posts
during the week preceding Decoration
Day in order that the pupils in the
public schools Of the land may have
stronger reverence for "Old Glory"
and a profounder respect for those
who defended it on the field of battle.
Captain H. NJ. Mingay holds the po-
sition of patriotic instructor" in
Greenwood Post and he proposes to
see to it that addresses are made
along the lines indicated IN the public
schools of Canon City. He has not
yet indicated whom he has selected
for the work to be done. but it is un-
derstood that among the speech-mak-
ers will be Chaplain John G. Blake.
Prof. Geo. E. Colgate, Judge Jas l.
Cooper and Rev. ]. T. Thomas Requi-
sition will also be made upon sew
eral of the old soldiers

ALL INDICATIONS POINT
TO ONE OF THE LARGEST
FRUIT CROPS EVER

The warm weather of the last few
few days has revealed. as nothing else
ing fruit crop in the Canon City dis
trict, which, it is now known, will be
an unusually prolific one. II no dis
aster overtakes it. Orchardists are all
taking an optimistic view OF the mat
ter and are fully convinced that the
horticultural interests of the commun-
ity were not materially injured by
the freeze of last week, indeed, the
frost is conceded to have been bene-
fetal rather than otherwise. as it
holped to reduce yield that would
have been burdensome to the trees.
1t has been ascertained that prac-
tically all of the commercial and
more valuable varieties of fruit were
unhurt by the frost and that the fin
ancial income accruing from the sale
of the crop will not be percepubly af-
fected in consequence of the recent
cold weather. Some few kinds of cher
ries and other fruits may have felt
the touch of the storm, but such va
rieties are little better than exotics
and rarely attain fruition in this lat
titude.
Dali DeWeese, than whom there
is no more reliable authority on hor-
ticultural subjects, expresses the
opinion that one-fifth more car loads
of fruit. particularly. apples. will be
shipped to market from Canon City
this year than ever before in the his
tory of the community. Mr.. DeWeese's
prediction is not an idle one, but is
predicated on the result Of careful in
vestigatton of the condition Of the
trees at the present time. There will
be bumper crop of Jonathans. Rom
an Beauty. Genitons. Winesap. Ben
Davis and other kinds OF apples and
they are the ones that bring returns
10 the grower. There is nothing in the
horoscope to bring discomfort to the
ranchers of the Canon City district
Everything is of the most encouraging
character and the current year prom
ises to create a new high water mark
in the prosperity of the community.
In reviewing the situation one cannot
help congratulate the people of Fre-
mont county. and of Canon City in
particular. on the outlook for busi-
ness during the next twelve months.
A new era of material growth and
progress has dawned for this city and
the people will at last come into their
own. There are few towns anywhere
with the recuperative power and fin
ancial vitality of Canon City. and, now
that the forces that have been holding
her back have lost their potency she
will go forward with Increasing
strides TO the high destiny which Fate
has in store for her.

DOG PAYS OWN LICENSE.
Hidden Coins Brought Out When Time
to Settle With Flint (Mich.)

Flint, Mich.-Max, a black-and-tan
dog owned by Charles C. Fitzhugh, a.
local pharmacist, has come through
with dollar to pay his annual license
and thus insure safety from the city
dog catcher for another year, And
Max earned all this money himself. N
In the rear of the store where his
owner works Max, who is a trick dog,
has box half filled with excelsior, in
which he hides pennies and nickels
earned by doing tricks. When a Gus
toner comes into the store the dog
starts his repertory of stunts, plays
dead, walks lame, says his prayens,
talks" to the best of his ability, walks
erect on his front legs and then on his
hind legs, sits up and does numerous
'ether tricks for the entertainment of
his visitors. The majority of the pa
irons of the store know the dog and
always wheA he has finished his act he
ls-giVen a penny or five-cent piece,
which he hides in his box.
The other day when the animals
owner decided that the license should
be paid he sent the dog back to the
box time after time until the canine
had brought to him a dollar in pennies
and nickeis, and, placing the cash in
an envelope, the owner started for the
ONCE OF the city clerk, the dog carry
ing the envelope in his mouth.
Whenever the dog wants piece of
candy from the showcase he gets the
money from his box, tramps up to
where his master is and EXCHANGES it
for chocolates,
There is no particular ,breed about
Max. He was tramp" dog and Mr..
t1tzhugh took him in, gave.him a. home
and taught him tricks.
