DARING MAGAZINE
SOLICITORS SET
SALlDA AFLUTTER

/ The latest thing in magazine selling
struck salida yesterday after having
been tried out in a dozen or more
small towns of the state. 1t consisted
of plump blonde with fiashy set OF
teeth and dimply smile and a bru-
nette partner with such soulful eyes
and naughty jingle in her laugh. No
use trying to describe them further
to the business men ON F street. They
met one or both of them Saturday and
they are still wondering how to keep
their wives and sweethearts ignorant
of the fact.
f street was their meat. The girls
separated at the depot. one taking one
side while her partner worked the
other, and worked" is right For in
stance, the plump blonde stepped into
barber shop. A Salida business man
was stretched out on the chair. The
plump blonde smoothed back his hair,
plucked him under the chin, grasped
his hand and with her dimply smile
said, You are going to subscribe to
This magazine"
He did. Also everyone in the shop
did. She entered nearly every store
on the street and showed particular
[ondness Tor young bachelors and
aged men. The younger married men
did not prove easy prey.
If the merchant reciprocated the
evidences of affection (and alas the
number of victims has not been COM
pletely listed) the plump blonde on
ore side of the street and her bru-
nette partner on the other. not only
signed for the magazine. but grabbed
the first valuable thing in sight and
walked out the door.
What could the poor man do? Tell
the whole truth? Never.
Several young men who subscribed
were asked to take a second sub
scription for friend and upon re-
fusing were induced to match for it.
The girls had coins with double heads
and Of course he lost
Tive men had their pockets picked
while they were looking on.
But the girls did not care. They
grabbed everything in sight and they
had to work in hurry because they
had arranged to take the train that
right and they did not miss it.
Now that the secret is out the mer-
chants are wondering how they can
square Themselves with their wives
when the magazines begin to arrive.
A list Of the subscribers will be
published in the Friday edition Of the
Mail tmebbe).-Salida Mail.

CITY WILL BURN
LEAVES IN STREETS

The attempt to burn the leaves as
they fall from the trees is always
more or less OF failure owing to
the fact that they are not sufficiently
dry for the purpose and create more of
smoke than the flame. The smoke
and haze which such fires produce
are a source of annoyance to many
people and the street commissioner
requests that no effort be made to get
rid OF them In that way at the pres
ent time. To try to do so is a viola
tion OF the city ordinances and a
source of great danger TO property.
as well az disagreeAble 20 the public
The city water has been turned out
Of the irrigating bitches along the
streets and as soon a. the leaves
have all fallen and are dry enough
they will be raked up into piles by
employees Of the city and burnt or
otherwise disposed of.

may be found ia mother column OF
this issue OF The Daily Record.

PAINTED THE FAMILY
DOG IN MANY RUES

Tom Palmer. the little son of Mr..
and Mrs. Hunter Palmer, who has a
keen appreciation Of the beauty of
color when properly used, decided a
, few days ago that he could improve
the appearance of the family dog by
giving him a coat of paint OF some
brilliant hue The thought was
father of the act and Tom Immediately
set to work to carry his plan into
execution. AS colorist Tom has
ideas that are distinctly original, as.
indeed he has upon most subjects, and
believes while one is ''gitting" he
might as well get plenty. Proceed
ing on that theory Tom mixed up
pigments of various colors in quanti-
ty sufficient to paint a small house.

enough on the canine to cause him
to resemble an animated section of the
fence about Doc" Twilight's property
around Soda Point and all will agree
that that's goin' some
When asked by his astonished par
ents who had painted the dog Tom
soberly answered. "the boy" but was

situation saved his from punish.

TO ESTABLISH MAIL ROUTE
TO llSE AMD ROSITA

A mail route from Canon City to
Ilse and Rosita is soon to be estab-
lished by the postoffice department
This change of service to these noun
tain towns is in response to peti
tion sent to Washington through Con
gressman Heating and which was nu
merously signed by the people living
along the route proposed. 1t was
further supported by several of the
merchants of this city and the Cham
ber of Commerce.
Mr.. Ben Rea &ho is a personal
friend of Third Assistant Postmaster
General A. NJ Dockery. has been an
untiring booster for this service and tc
his efforts in a large measure are due
the success of the movement.
The service for which the depart
ment are asking bids require the con-
tractor to leave Canon City at eight
a. m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
returning on the following day at the
same hour, and reaching the destina-
ton at three p. m. bids to be SUBJ
mitted by Nov. 10th. Blanks may
be had by application to Postmaster
Cooper.
Rural delivery or box service will
be required along the route to those
patrons who erect boxes for this SER
vice, and also service to the present
office at Ilse. 1t is estimated that
about forty bores will be erected
along the route. and the distance to
be travelled each way at thirty two
miles. The contractor will be allow
ed to establish a passenger and ex-
press service in connection with the
mail service so long as it does not
conflict with the prompt delivery of
the mails or disarrange the schedule
of arrivals and departure.
While the proposals provide for
wagon service. there is not much
doubt but that automobile service
can be substituted when the weather
will permit of the trips being made
by that method. The contract is to
begin on December first and end on
June goth. 1918.
The people living between here and
Ilse have for long time wanted some
satisfactory mail service, which will
no doubt be established now II a
satisfactory bid can be obtained.
The present mail service to Rosita is
SO very slow that the people living
better and quicker service in the pro-
posed ronte than are now having on
account Of the delays at Texas Creek.

The opportunity opened up for ex-
press and passenger service to- both
the people of the mountain district
and this city will be of great benefit.

CAMPAIGNING FOR
ENDOWMENT FUND

The Methodist church in Canon
City, in common with the members
of that denomination throughout the
state, are endeavoring to complete
within the next ten days the raising
OF the prescribed 100000 endow-
ment fund for Denver university nee
essary to secure the $1,000 offered
the institution by the Rockefeller
Educational Foundation contingent
upon the success of the subscription
campaign. The time originally re-
quired by the foundation for the rails
ing of the money expired Oct. 81,
1914. but was later extended for
twelve months.
About s230,000 was raised last year.
but a portion of it was required to
pay the debts of the university. which
has been running behind at the rate
OF something like ten or twelve thou
sand year in spite of its eleven or
twelve hundred students.
OF the 100000 to be raised this
year to obtain the Rockefeller founda-
tion offer Denver agreed to raise $70.-
900 contingent upon the other church
es of the state raising $4,000. Thus
far it has raised little over $25.000.
Several hundred dollars have been
subscribed to the fund in Canon City
during the last few days.
