FRANK SINGER GETS
AN INTERESTING LETTER
FROM ENGLISH NEPHEW

Mr.. Frank Singer is IN receirt of an
interesting letter from HIS nephew.
Frank Singer. of Pinewood Road.
Eagles CIiffe. s. o. County rurham.
England.
Mr.. Singer enlisted in England's
army OF millions but because he was
a Civil Service man ne wes kept at
his work because his country needed
him more in England than on the FIR
ing line.
A portion Of the letter says: "Prit-
ain has played a wonderful 3art in
this world war by bringing the whole
of her eligible man power into the
mighty struggle and also b. financing
her Allies and manufacturing their
guns and ammunition
In addition TO that. the fact that
she rules the waves is a mighty as.
set and goes towards bringirr about
an early and victorious finish"
Mr.. Singer goes on to toll how
many of his relatives are In tie war
and states that his sisters arc giving
up their boys scarcely in their teens,
to their country without ffinching.
The letter is full of patriotism
throughout and reflects to n great de.
gree the feelings of the rauk and fiIe
of the people of England

so high? No, OF course not. They
never think about that phase of it. If
they ,did-Good night. They think
about the work in hand and do what is
to be done, work eight hours at a
shift and draw their pay when pay day
comes around That's about the way
they look at it. They don't see any
romance. any glory or anything un-
usual in their exploits.
To a fat reporter looking up from
below it seemed that every move of
these men would be their last. The
reporter was filled with thrills clear
down to his shoes when one of, the
men reached far out over the side to
guide the rope which was bringing a
steel section. up. 1t looked as If he
was shaking hands with death. But
the thrills were all for nothing, for a
moment later the man reached in his
pocket for a chew of tobacco as if he
had been doing nothing more than
driving mule down Main street.
The steel workers are about the
only special men among the laborers
who are employed upon this job. All
the rest are home folks who are max
ing good money while this work lasts
Mr.. Mettome, the boss steel worker
represents the Twin City company OF
Minneapolis, which has the contract
for the steel and the erection of the
stack The other men come from va
rious parts of the country. They can
do all kinds of structural steel work
and building. this stack is but por-
ton of what they are required to do
in their line.
A structural steel worker makes
from five to seven dollars a day OF
eight hours work. He gets extra
money for overtime. Some of the boss
es and certain men on highly special
lied work make ten to twelve dollars
a day.
That seems like great deal of
money and it is, indeed, good wages
but these men certainly earn it

AN APPRECIATION OF
REV. S. Il. SPERRY

The church people of Hillside and
Vicinity gave benefit ice cream social
at Hillside hall last Friday evening
complimentary to their pastor, Rev.
Sperry, of this city. Monday Rev.
Sperry was presented with a nice
sum of money as a result of the social
for which he feels the deepest graft
tude.
Rev. Sperry has just rounded out
the sixth year of his ministry in the
Wet Mountain valley and it has for
some time been a question with him
whether to return to his pastorate
there should the conference so order it
The matter of his acceptance of such
an assignment for another year came
up at the social at Hillside and Geo.
C. Kaess submitted the proposition to
the assembly for the purpose of ascer.
tanning the views of those present on
the subject. In writing to Rev. Sperry
about it Mr.. Kaess says: I'VE took a
standing vote and every one in the
hall rose tc their feet, thus unani-
'mously expressing their wish for a
continuance of your work here. They
also promised by their action in de-
string your return better support for
the coming conference year"
The vote was merited compliment
and an appreciation of the devotion
and sincerity of his labors in the past
Six years is long pastorate over
one congregation, but f ev. Sperry has
endeavored by a study of men and
their surroundings to keep fresh and
in touch with the best thoughts of the
dent for many years and has tried to
weave into his sermons the beauty
OF the gospel story and the message
of salvation, and, in a practical. help
ers and make Christian ethics not
only a reality. but the oest ideal for
the government of human lives.
Should the forthcoming conference
of the Methodist church of Colorado
think best to return Rev. Sperry to
the pastorate to Hillside and West.
cliffe churches for another year ii
can be assured that he will continue
his labors there with the same zeal
and consecration that characterized
his efforts in the past. The hearty
endorsement. good feeling and Chris.
tian fellowship conveyed by the peo-
pie of Hillside could not well be over
looked by Rev Sperry in a consider
alton of the acceptance of such an as
signment.

RAIN SUNDAY BIGGEST
IN MANY MONTHS

Canon City and the surrounding
territory experienced Sunday after
noon the heaviest rainstorm that has
visited this section in many months.
In less than three quarters OF an
hour there was precipitation Of near
ly an inch of water To be exact. the
records of the weather bureau show
that the fall was nlneiy-fye one hum
dredths OF an inch. which. probably.
exceeds any similar precipitation dur
ing the past year.
The storm was accompanied by
much electrical disturbance and the
lightning and thunder we're unusual
in their intensity. The rain began
about o'clock and fell in torrents
for some time: threatening the food
ing OF all OF the lower lands OF the
community. Comparatively little
damage. however. was done by the
storm in ,own. although In some iocali-
ties but a short distance beyond its
borders bridges were swept away. the
roads washed out and guliies con-
vertcd into arroyas large enough TO
bury n small house. Just how great
a damage was done TO the public high
ways was not known to the county
commissioners this mtrning. but is
believed to be considerable. The east

resulting to property owners from the
storm there was far greater than in
other portions OF the county.
The railroad bridges at Florence
were temporarily put out of commits
sion by the storm and for six or sew
en- hours afterwards neither the Dem
yer e. Rio Grande nor the Santa Fe
companies were able to maintain their
train service. About two hundred
feet OF the Rio Grande track was
washed out near Florence and the
