PARCEL POST BUSI-
NESS IS GROWING

While the parcel post business q.
Canon City has not been phenomenal
by any means it has shown a steady
growth since It's Inauguration and has
now attained considerable proper
lions. Local merchants are conpre-
hendins its value to them as an agea-
cy in the delivery OF goods TO custom
ers and are availing themselves OF q.
more and more in their business ea-
terprises. The fear expressed before
the seryice-was started that 1t would
by preiudiclal to the country merchant
by affording the mail order firms OF
the larger cities an opportunity to get
many OF his customers away from him
does not seem to be In any danger OF
realization; In fact. the parcel post
gives promise OF becoming a big a.
sistant TO him in extending his field
OF operations.
AS showing to what uses the par
eel post may be put II may be stated
that p. II. Troutman has invoked is
aid TO send his orchard heating pots
to various parts of the country and
has found IL to work admirably. He
has forwarded many heating pots to
Texas and other distant states and Is
considering its utilization TO send out
TO pensioners the canned products of
the Green Hill Orchards company. Tho
Diamond Fire Brick company Is using
the parcel post to send out sample
bricks TO people in various parts OF
Colorado and adjacent states and has
no complaint to make OF the service.
The other day set of harness was
forwarded by the parcel post from
Canon City to Pueblo. but ss n rule
very few freak packages have been
forwarded from this Office. Patrons
of the parcel post will do weli to re-
member the following "don'ts" In con-
nection with the service:
Don't try TO ship a pacynge weiga-
ing more than II pounda.f
Don't ship one In greater size than
~ inches in length and girth.
Don't put one in the mail that IN
form or kind viii injure the psron q

equipment or injurc the mall matter.

PARTY GUESTS ALL
20 TOGETHER

1t is getting to be the fad in Canon
City for all the guests to a party o.
social event to all go together. At
least this has been true of the last
two or three events that have taken
place in the last week or two. Charles
Reeves has three large closed busses
that will carry about 10 people each
and when a party occurs on Lin
coin Park, East Canon or Harding !
Addition the guests get together and
hire closed bus and have almost 4
tally-ho party going to and coming
from the scene of festivlty 1t Is far
less expensive than individual hacks
for every one and is a great deal more
fun Mr. Reeves says his husses are
at the service OF anyone who. wants
them at anytime OF the day or night.

$50, 900 by heavy seas.
Other vessels damaged by heavy
seas were the steamers Perry G.
Walker, Umbria, E. C. Pope, Yosmite.
and Mariposa. Also steamer Isaac
L. Mlwood, sunk after entering Du-
luth harbor.
And yet, in view of all these ac-
eidents, A. w. Goodrich, head of the
Ship Owners Trust, is attacking the
bill through the columns Of the trust
press because he pleads that it would
be "a physical impossibility to build
or equip steamers with lifeboats sufi-
cient to protect all the passengers
aboard"
Goodrich's protest is against Sec
ton IL of the LaFollette bill, which
provides that all boats should be re-
quired to havela sufficient number of
hfeboats to save all on board and
two able seamen with which to man
the boats.
"The effect of Section IL on freight
vessels, including the package freight
steamers, other than those carrying
passengers, is very much milder than
generally understood" said Victor A.
Olander, president of the Lake Sea-
mems Union. 'It provides no increase
in the number of the deck crew of
such vessels, but simply requires
that, in the first year, 40 per cent of
the deck crew, exclusive of licensed
officers, shall be able seamen as de-
fined by the bill. The percentage is,
to increase, per cent each year until

RAILROADS PREPARE
FOR HEAVY BUSINESS

Atlanta, Ga, September 49,
Healthy business conditions
throughout the Southeast during
the Fall and Winter are indicated
by the action Of. the railways Of
this section in calling upon ship
pers to aid them in maintaining an
adequate car supply during the
crop moving season. Anticipat-
ing heavy demand for cars, the
railways are themselves doing
everything possible to increase
their car supply. Shops are being
run at full capacity to put every
available car in repair and car
builders are being urged to turn
out new equipment as rapidly as
possible. Steps are also being
taken to provide for the most ex-
petition handling of cars at termi-
nal and transfer point. ~

While the railways are making

While the railways are making
these preparations for the rush of
heavy business, it is recognized
that shippers can render assist
ance of the greatest Importance
by loading and unloading cars as
promptly as possible, thus avoid
ing unnecessary detention of cars,
and by loading cars to their full
capacity. AS an adequate car
supply is as important to shippers
and the general public as it is to
the railways, an appeal is being
made to shippers Individually and
through trade and commercial
bodies to aid the railways in their
effort to sscure the maximum eff
cheney in the use of cars.

"I'll meet you on Joy Street."
Thousands and thousands of times
in the next two months will this ex-
preston be heard. Joy Street" is the
name that has been given to the Mid
way at the National Conservation Ex-
position in Knoxville and Joy Street
indeed is veritable street of pure,
unadulterated joy.
Joy Street" is in keeping with the
rest Of the National Conservation Ex-
position. A national exposition must
be natiol.-.v not local, from start to
finish anG no where Is this idea better
exemplihed than on Joy Street" The
exposition management determined
that the Midway and other attractions
on the grounds should be of a very
high class this year. They are. Joy
Street. is the biggest thing of it's kind
ever seen in the South; it Is one of
the best Midways ever seen at any
exposition North or South.
Catch-penny attractions have been
eliminated. All of the shows are large
and all are high class. Some idea of
the magnitude of Joy Street" and the
other exposition attractions may be
obtained when it is said that there are
1900 men and women employed in this
department of the exposition alone.
Some of Attractions.
Space does not permit of mentioning
all of the attractions that will allure
and entertain the hundreds of thou
sands Of visitors to the Scuth's great
est and biggest exposition in the
months of September and October.
While the object of the exposition is
educational no national fair would be
complete without it's amusement
features. The National Conservation
Exposition has them.
There ia Ellery's Famous Concert
Band of forty-six trained musicians.
Ellery's Band is one of the greatest

sons in cities other than Knoxville

His entire menagerie and zoo with its

soon became aware of this hypo-

at once decided to import a new

he would make great hit in the

POWER FOR FARMERS.

Cheap hydro-electric power and
cheap gasoline power for farmers and
for rural communities get much atten-
ton at the National Conservation Ex-
position. There are striking demon
STATIONS of both of these on the expo
sition grounds.
ARTIST THE BUTT OF FORTUNE.
The ups and downs of the artists
Ealing are well illustrated by the
fortunes and misfortunes of M. Suk-
horoysky, a Russian artist who died
recently. His celebrated painting,
''Nana," was exhibited all over the
world and made fortune for HIM
self and others. After personally re-
ceiving some 100000 for its exhi-
bition, the artist, thinking its vogue
over, sold "Nana" for $4,000, and
the dealer resold it at double the
price. An American bought it and
showed it all through the United
States, Canada and South America,
and is reported to have made 81 .OOO,-
900 by the enterprise. On the other
hand, the artist lost all his money
by unfortunate investments and was
reduced almost to beggary.

movement to build a highway
across the state of Virginia be-
tween this city and Washington,
the same to connect here with the
Memphis-to- Bristol highway. Sur
veys for this road have been made
in all equities between Bristol
and Roanoke, and in a part of the
counties construction work is in
progress. The counties along the
route from Roanoke to Washing
ton are now to be aroused to the
Importance of prompt action.
The booster cars are carrying
the following party: Mayor Geo.
M. Warren, M. F. Ring, Herschel
Dove, Joe Fleming, C. S. Hard
raker, F. L. Hardraker and Carl

road.
