ty" was the verdict in the case of

business here and has a host of
friends. He is known to be efficient
as well as accommodating in a busi-

Gene Crawford has been here long
enough to be considered a real Canon
City boy and he is liked by all who
know him. He is not as well ac-
quainted with the cigar business as
Mr.. Esser but has had plenty of busi-
ness training to make him competent.
Little of his time will be devoted to
the new enterprise however because
he is chief clerk at the penitentiary
and does not intend to neglect his
duties there in the least.
The boys intend to give Canon City
an up-to-the minute cigar and tobacco
store as well as to conduct a first class
billiard and pool parlor.

HE DID NOT CARE
FOR HIS HOME PAPER

Empuria Review
Every man has to call at the office
of his home paper some time-some-
times several times-for a favor.
Only a few weeks ago a retired bust
ness man wanted little booklet print
ed. He jockeyed around for a cut
price and finally get it printed out
of town. finding printer. hard up,
who cut the price below cost. This man
told his home newspaper that he was
interested only in the price and that he
had no favors to ask of his home
papers-that he had no interest in
them whatever.
Now it happened that within two
weeks this same man with another,
took two maids from hotel out for
drive. There was a smash-up and
the facts leaked out. Fine dope for
big scandal.
Did this man who had no use for
his local papers think of them then?
He surely did, and was an early call
er to get a plausible story fixed up
or have the news suppressed. And
the story was never printed. Not out
of respect to the man. who was not
entitled to any fayors, but out of res
pect to two families of women and
children.
This was a quick case and a pro-
nounced one. but every newspaperman
in every town knows some like it.

LAUNCH MOVEMENT TO
ERECT BUILDING FOR
RELIGIOUS PURPOSES
ON LINCOLN PARK

A movement has been launched by
the people of East Lincoln Park to.
ward the erection of a building for
religious purposes.
The increase in population, the dis
tance from town and the number who
do not attend any church offers an
excellent opportunity for the exten-
sion of Christian work on Lincoln
Park.
Necessity urges it and good citizen
ship demands it.
The purpose of this movement is
to make 1t possible for all who desire
to attend religious services and who
do not find it convenient to go to
town.
1t is to be undenominational and
open to all visiting ministers and Sun
day School workers and all evangeli-
cal church organizations.
1t is to be known as the Bethel
Mission to be built and supported by
the community and all others who are
in sympathy with the movement and
desire to contribute to the cause. Trust
ing this may meet with the approval
of the community at large, ! am
Sincerely yours.
