TEXTBOOKS. VOTED ! Is
OUT IN S0UTHsCANOA

The South Canon and Lincoln Park
school election ON Monday resulted
ma majority of nearly three TO one
against the continuance of the free
text book system in the public schools
One hundred and fifty-four votes were
cast in relation to the proposition;
thirty-nine favorable TO the matt ar
and one hundred and fifteen against
it The principal objection to free
text books by those taking part in
Mondays election seems to have been
that such were not as sanitary ns
those owned by the students them
selves; consequently were more Liable
to communicate disease to those who
used them. They have had free text
books in the schools of South Canon
and Lincoln Park for period of eight
or ten years.
At Mondays election DR.. Pitt a.
Wade was chosen president of the
board of education for ter mof two
years and Mrs. Jennie Patterson a
member of the directorate and treas
urer for a term of three years. On
May 25th a special bond election will
be held at the high school building in
South Canon for the purpose Of voting
on the proposition to issue bonds 90
the amount of $4,000 for additional
school equipment. The increased pop
ulation requires an extension of the
school facilities and it is proposed
to tear away a portion of the old
Fourth street school building and ada
more rooms for the accommodation
of pupils. 1t is also the intention 4
the contemplated bond issue carries
to add four more rooms to the Nc
Kinley school building on Lincoln
Park. Both structures will be proyid-
ed with steam heat and thoroughly
modernized during the coming sum-
mer.

CHAIRMAN HARDING ISSUES THE
FIRST BULLETIN ON
"CLEAN.UP. DAY

The Civic Improvement League has
been besieged on all sides regarding
Cleanup Day" for this year. The
sentiment throughout Canon City
seems to be that Cleanup Day." a
day set aside each year by the Civic
Improvement league for the cleaning
of the vacant lots, streets and alleys
of our city has done more to upbuild
our community than any other me
thing. This year as we are expecting
more tourists and visitors to visit
our city than in previous years, the
showing that our city makes depends
largely ON the appearance and clean
liness of ou rstreets, vacant lots and
alleys, and, with the help of each and
every citizen, this great work can be
accomplished with very little trouble
to any one individual
Warden lyman, who is greatly in
favor of this movement, has offered
the assistance of every available man
and team he has for May the 10th, he
day set for hauling to the dump all
dirt and rubbish that is today adorn-
ing our alleys and vacant lots.
The city council has voted the sum
of twenty-five dollars to the Civic I'M
provement league to help defray the
expense of cleanup day" and, al4o
offers their support in any way to
help make this record breaker.
The city will be divided into twenty
different districts and, chairman
selected for each district, these chair
men to have charge of the work in
their various divisions. \ complete
list of the chalrmen to be published
in the Record in the near future.
Now let every citizen of Canon City
join hands and start this good work
going as the time is short between
now and May 10th and the alleys anI
streets are mighty dirty in some 10
calities.
Cleanup day" summed up in few
words is this: Every citizen of Canon
City is asked to clean up their front
and back yards, street and alley. pil-
ing all cirt and rubbish out in the
alley on rear OF their property. then
on the 10th of May all will be hauled
off with no expense to the owner The
only thing that will not be hauled
away is ashes: there the line is
drawn.
Start early and work late but =
sure everything is cleaned up before
the morning of the 10th.

When this far famed firm of amuse-
ment purveyors began to bid for pub
TIC favor they launched a modest af-
lalr, yet they put into it every dol
lar they had, believing the public
would %patronize the show which was
the most worthy. Instead of send
ing forth a poorly equipped outfit,
they organized the greatest one ring
snow ever sent entour. Their list of
performers was small in numbers, bu
each and every one was an artist of
world renoWn and everything else
about them was of the same high
merit, The result was that their
llrst venture proved an overWhelm-
ing success and since that time
"Plungers' Cole have been raising
the standard of their attraction until
they are heralded today as the best
equipped, most complete and pleas
ing upon the road. Notable instances
Oh their lavish expenditures are to
be found in the rare display of cur
ious species Of animal life in their
triple menageries, the countless num-
bers of handsome horses and ponies,
the priceless herds of elephants and
droves of camels, their three hand
some trains of double length sixty
foot cars, their massive cages, dens,
chariots and tableau care and the
great array of high priced talent up
on their p%ayrolls. While rival man

shows have made a vast amount of
money for the men who have the
