CANON CITY IS MAX
ING A HARD Fight

1t is cst..nated that Canon City Is
a strong competitor for one of the big
prizes offered by the Red Cross So
ciety for the sale of Red Cross stamps
The school children and all others
taking a hand have sold an enormous
quantity before Christmas. However,
our efforts must not cease here, for
we have an opportunity to launch
ahead OF all other Colorado towns by
buying tickets to the moving pictures
shows at the opera house on Wednes-
day and Thursday nights OF this
week. The management Of the opera
house announces the arrival OF some
excellent films. highly appropriate for
the occasion which are considered the
classiest things in life pictures. A rare
treat is assured.
The musical numbers to be rendered
during the evenings by the wednes-
day Musical club have been selected
from the best talent in Canon City and
will add greatly to the interest of the
evenings program.

the qualification of ease and restful-

|BOUenT GIFTS WITH
WORTHLESS CHECKS

When you want to buy presents for
woman. be certain that she has not
been married within the last month.
Then it's risky to make said pur-
chsses with alleged worthless checks.
These two conditions contributed to
the downfall OF Percy Cravens OF Can
on City. who was arrested by the To-
cal police Saturday night and is be-
ing held in the city jail pending fur
ther investigation.
Mrs. Howell. formerly Mrs. Large.
on whose homestead near >Eads. IL
year-old Caroline Blest was found by
the authorities three months ago. Is
alleged to have received several ar
ticles OF wearing apparel purchased
by Cravens Saturday with money said
10 have been realized on checks that
are not supported by deposits In the
Canon City bank. The local police re-
ceived word from Sheriff Esser Sat-
urday asking them to arrest cravens
on the charge OF utterIng alleged
worthless checks in that city.
Soon after his arrest. It is said. re-
ports were made to the police that
crsvens had cashed checks at several
! places in Pueblo OF which local mer-
chants became suspicious and for
which It Is said there were no funds
to cravens' credit In the Canon City
bank on which they were drawn.
white & Davis cashed two checks, for
s24 and s25; s5 check was cashed
by the Southern hotel; Allen. the sa-
! loon man. cashed check for IS and
, Hays & Parr cashed another IS check,
making s74 in all that he Is said to
; have realized from Pueblo merchants
and business men.
Cravens Is said to have purchased a
new snlt OF clothes. and several other
articles OF ladies' wearing APPAREL for
Mrs. Howell. When Detective Lynch
arrested Mrs. Howell on Union ave-
nue. yesterday she Is said to have
tainted or pretended TO faint, and was
carried into nearby drug store
where sho was restored to conscious
ness and revived. At the station Mrs
Howells told the officers all about re-
ceiving the Christmas presents from
cravens, It is said. and after the
goods were restored to their former
owners. the woman was released. as
she had not been connected with pur-
chasing them and perhaps was not
criminaliy responsible. crnyens wiz

Like Their New Western Home

That MIR. and Mrs. Chas NJ. Thomp-
son are well situated and pleased with
their new state of Washington home at
Colville, seems certain from letter re-
ceived from Mrs. Thompson by lady
friend IN viToqua on a recent date. She
writes among many other things, as
follows:
We have made some very nice friends
here in our new home-when | think it
is only few months since | came it
seems | must be mistaken since we are
so much at home.
The people are very cordial. We've
had such a nice winter; climate is mild
and seems as if the sun shone almost
every day and no wind. There was
sleighing for a time but an occasional
Chinook wind for a few hours and the
snow is gone. Just now it is as warm
as summer day, but about six it gets
cool and even in midsummer the even
iugs are almost like fall evening ir
Wisconsin. They say there is two feet
of snow in the mountains yet. This
town is an old one: older than Spokane
but has never doomed any until the last
three years. 1t is very much such 8
place as Viroqua, though of course, il
isn't as nice. The streets are sadly
in need of being worked. We live on :
new street in a new house and the
stumps are still in the street. The
mountains surround the town and one
never tires of looking at them. Wher

out and thought we were going to have

were dark clouds. The scenery is 81

WITH THANKS AND HOPES

Although the old year has faded and
gone, as many others have faded and
gone before, let US not forget to thank
Him for all the joys and blessings that
He has so freely given US in the past.
And while it may be that we all have
not gathered as many of the shining
dollars as some we will not despair, for
cannot we give a cherry smile, a warm
clasp of the hand, with that one word
of environment, God Speed all of
which will be long remembered when
the dollar has been forgotten.
And so as we are launched out upon
the high tide of a New Year, and are
looking forward in eager expectation to
the hopes and joys to be ours, we will
not forget one another for some little
token of good will and cheer.
Therefore, dear CENSOR, want to
thank you for all past favors, with the
wish that the New Year will be happy
one. And may it be that you will be as
good and useful to the great public in
the coming years as you have always
been in the past.
May peace and prosperity to sou be given
To all your friends and neighbors wish glad
New Year,
Ailtim ne to he uus hadowed by e.sigh ortear
May unfold your pozes wherever I may -oaEa-
And read the good cid CENSOR from home sweet
