FACTS ABOUT THE
COUNTY PRINTING
County Has Been Getting Good Service
And Paying No More Than Other
Counties Have For Less Publicity

concerned, the county, the people and
the papers-and after fair trial the
commissioners designated The Record
the official paper.
The business, all told, including the
tax list amounts this year to only
about $500. OF this amount The Rec
ord has had only about 5000, the other
5000 being paid to the other or
papers in the county for their services
in printing the tax list.
OF this total sum of about $500 for
the years work. something over $500
is for the tax list.
This sum is paid in by the people
who let their taxes go delinquent It
is charged up to them and is paid
when they pay up or redeem their
property. This item does not cost the
county anything-and would not cost
anybody anything II everybody paid
their taxes when due
So about all the county has been
paying this Gigantic trust" for all its
printing which includes the semi-an-
nual statement, the monthly lists of
bills, the many long calls for school
warrants. the various notices from the
county clerk, county superintendent
OF schools, the commissioners and 9TH
ers is only about s700-certainly not
sum to break up a county or make a
newspaper rich.
And this is the mares nest that has
been discovered by the new conner.
AS to a local "trust"-wouldn't that
make you laugh?
There are in Canon City five print
ing or newspaper plants. Five in a
town that could not support decently
more than two.
The Daily Record does a volume of
business, greater than all the other
four sombined-it has a pay roll con-
siderably in excess OF all the other
four shops put together.
DO You think for single minute
that there otershxrviceo( o(paperrjajcs
that these other shops would join In
any sort of trust arrangements that
would permit The Daily Record to
build up this abnormal business?
Well. hardly,
The Daily Record has been able to
build up this handsome business only
by the fairest kind of good business
methods.
There is secret to The Records
success which we don't mind telling
you The Record gets up better pa
per than any other ever printed in this
town. In advertising 1t gives more
for the money than all others-seper-
atcly or combined. In job printing
1t employees better men, has better
equipment and newer materials and
puts better stock in the job than any
other shop can afford at the same price
charged.

FIRE AT Wolf
PARK Mine SUNDAY

Last night about c o'clock fire was
discovered in a building near the
workings of the Wolf Park mine. The
structure was known as the Dry
Room" because of the fact that it was
used by the miners to dry their gar
ments after they had come out of the
mine. There was a roaring fire in the
stove at the time the fire was noticed
so without a doubt the blaze originat-
ed from clothing hung up too close to
the stove to dry. The loss is about
800 with no insurance.

The Canon City newspaper that is
circulated chiefly by Mr.. Belts on
Main street has been "hollering its
head Off" about an alleged newspaper
trust" in this county.
OF course many things might be
said about that paper and the motives
which probably prompt its policy
but that is not the point
That paper has assailed unjustly,
about every interest in this town. 1t
began on the newspapers, then took up
the banks. 1t jumped all over the
property owners for charging exhor-
bitant rents. Then it went after the
alleged dry goods trust" until it got
a dry goods ad Last week it started
in to break up an imaginary grocers
and meat market combine and an
nounced as one of its aims to get es-
tablished in Canon City a cooperative
store-the kind we used to hear so
much about back in the old F. NJ B. A.
and Farmers Alliance days.
So with trust on the brain that pa
per has a night mare over its failure
to break into the county printing and
pitches into" everybody in the print
ing business. Many of its statements
are absolutely false.
The facts about the county printing
are these:
For several years the county COM
missioners have paid legal rates for
the county printing. That is done by
most counties in the state and should
be done by every county. The rates
are not high. The legal rate is Z
cents the line for the first insertion
and cents for each subsequent in
sertion Every merchant who puts
a notice in the Weekly Record is
charged 10 cents the line and on big
contracts for column stun the mimi
mum charge is cents the line.
So the Weekly Record tand we be-
lieye all other papers, charges the
business man, the show. or the church
a rate that equals or exceeds the le-
gal rate charged the county.
But besides the regular official pub
lication in enc paper the county has
had the delinquent tax list printed in
every paper in the county without ex-
ira CHARGE This hns been paid for by
the paper that has done the official
publishing.
The arrangement was a good one
and has pleased all concerned. There
has never been any secret about 1t as
the whole proposition has been ex-
planned many times in most every pa
per of this county.
The publishing of the delinquent
tax list all over the county has help
ed greatly to reduce the number of
properties being sold for taxes, and
this year the sale was the smallest
that has been held in many a year.
Florence boasts of not having sin
gle sewer delinquent sold. although
many were advertised and those who
know say that the wide publicity Civ
en- the delinquent tax list by the two
Florence papers helped greatly to
bring this happy end about We be
lieve that what ever other arrange
ment the commissioners make about
this county business the tax payers of
FIorecce are entitled to have the de-
linquert :dx list printed in Florence
newspapers.
When this arrangement was first
made with the county the commission
ers had their choice of newspapers.
They decided to divide the business
up between all the papers, giving the
work first to one and then TO another.
This was found to be nuisance to all

From the Haverhill Gazette.


Some months ago one of the leading
American magazines had a short story
with this title, that the publishers say
has brought them more letters OF ap-
prevail than anything that they had
published In 20 years. Lizzie" was an
extravagant girl who was always run
ming her father In debt for clothes and
other things that she thought she must
have in order to keep up in the circle
where she imagined that she belonged.
This was bad enough. but 1t was not
the worst by a good deal. When LIZ
zie came back from Europe with her
education finished" she was the envy
Of the town, and dozens Of indulgent
fathers nearly ruined themselves to en-
able their daughters to keep up with
Lizzie"
From the number of letters of ap-
prevail that came to the publishers. 1t
would appear that the woods were full
of 'Iizzies," male and female. old and
young. Fathers and mothers have been
sacrificed and homes have been almost
broken up time and again. because the
boys and girls thought they must keep
up" with others In their set, or class,
or school, or society. Clerks In busi-
ness houses think that they must dress
as well as their fellows and go to the
same entertainments or. what Is still
worse, cultivate the same careless or
evil habits. Many a career Of dishon-
esty has been begun by differing from
an employer to get the money to keep

Where the Spruce Gum Drops

Anyone who can climb tree and is
willing to dig hard into the spruce limbs
can make anywhere from 81 to Sc n day
in the gum business. for the crop never
falls. and Maine produces more spruce
gum than all the other states combined.
In order to be fragrant and agreeable
to those who chew 1t spruce gum must
be ripened under certain climatic condi-
lions that are best realized IN northern
Maine. While good, clear gum Is often
found growing spontaneously in tlEHwild
woods without the help of humanNssen-
cies, the best sprure guln-the kind that
sells at $l25Q1B0 n pound wholesale--is the
