CANON CITY. SHOULD
GET INTO THE GAME

Miss Vonda Howells of Florence has
been nominated as candidate TO-
May queen at the Flower carnival"
to be held here next Saturday and her
friends have eagerly championed her
cause, being determined to win for
her the honors Of the occasion II pos
sible. Miss Howells is reputed to be
a very winsome and attractive young
woman and is sure 20 command a
strong support for the queenship.. 1t
is hoped that Florence will have other
candidates besides Miss Howells and
that the contest among the people OF
our neIghboring city will be Of the
keenest kind.
Thus far Canon City has put for
ward no candidate for the position and
it must get busy" on the proposition
at once. otherwise the prize NAV go
to some outside community. II does
not make any difference how many
aspirants for May queen there may be.
in fact. the more the merrier." and
Florence and Canon City ought to
make several nominations. Portland.
Roclvale. Chandler and other places
have been invited to enter the contest
and. It is possible. they will ssiec.
to represent them in the
competition. Canon City. like Flor
ence. has host of pretty girls. any
of whom would preside with dignity
as May queen. and their friends should
see to II that their names are present
ed as possible winners in the queen
ship contest
Each nomination for May queen is
worth one hundred votes. and each
ticket Of admission to Carnival hail
on Saturday night will entitle the pur-
chaser to fve votes In the contest The
carnival Is going to be a big success,
one OF the most notable successes OF
Its kind. in fact. ever known in this
part OF the state. and the personality
OF it's queen is bound to awaken q
great deal OF public Interest. Canon
City must not neglect its opportuni-
ties. lest the people OF Florence. or
South Canon. or Rockvsle. or some
other town elect the queen. The best
advice we know OF under the circum-
stances is DO It Now" =
