THANKSGIVING DAY
GENERALLY OBSERVED

Never In the history OF Canon City
was Thanksgiving day more generally !
observed, or with greater considera-
tion for the INDECENT and unfortunate
than IL was on Thursday There was.
perhaps, greater manifestation of
charity, helpfulness and social service
In its celebration this year than ever
before and IL was made better and
happier to both giver and beneficiary
on that account. II is doubtful wheth-
er there was needy family in the
city that did not receive well filled
dinner basket with an expression of
Thanksgiving cheer and goodwill
from It's giver on Thursday. There
are not so many families in Canon
City that feel the pinch OF poverty
and misfortune as In some communi-
ties OF it's size, but there are some
even here and II is to the credit of
our people that they were generously
taken care of.
The churches, Sunday schools. AS
sociated charities, public schools and
various benevolent organizations, as
well as many kind-hearted men and
women actuated by neighborly mo-
tives. contributed or their money to
make Thanksgiving day one OF univer-
SAD. good cheer and happiness.
Special dinners were provided for
TIE prisoners in the penitentiary. in
the county jail and at the road.mak-
ing camps of the state and the day
was TO them one of the most pleasing
of all the year. At the odd Fellows
home and the county poor farm the
inmates were treated to feast that
they will not soon forget. An effort
was everywhere made by those in
charge OF such affairs to make their
guests enjoy themselves. and. that
they succeeded, goes without saying.
There were scores OF family dinners
in Canon City and It's surroundings
and hospitality was everywhere gener-
onss anu delightful. Altogether 1t
was. perhaps. the most prosperous
and most universally observed Thanks
giving season in the chronicles of the
community.
There were Thanksgiving services
at 1880 o'clock Thursday morning at
the First Methodist: Christ Episcopal
and tho Christian Science churches.
All were attended by large cOngroxa-
tionB Of w0rshippers. Collections of
money were taken At ench Of them for
the bono0t Of the poor.

REALIZATION IN UNDERSTAND
ING OUR SYSTEM OF GOVERN
MENT.

The Bureau OF immigration OF the
United States Department of Com.
merce and Labor is endeavoring to
secure the cooperation OF the munich.
pal and public school authorities all
over the country. as well as of the
patriotic organizations, women's
clubs and civic organizations of all
kinds, in an effort to prepare foreign
ers. unfamiliar with our system OF
government for naturalization as
American citizens. Letters upon this
subject have been received here re-
Gently from the officials at Washing
ton by the city and school authori-
ties. The purpose OF the movement
Is to try and elevate the standard OF
admission to citizenship and OF help
ing. where 1t is needed. to make the
foreign-born residents of the commun-
ity more efficient element In the
public life OF the state and the ma.
ton.
The matter of aiding aliens TO our
laws and institutions in obtaining a
better comprehension OF the duties
and responsibilities of American citi-
zenship was given encouragement by
d. l.. Sullivan OF Denver, special ex-
aminer for the bureau of naturaliza-
ton on the occasion of his visit here
last Saturday. Mr.. Sullivan took the
proposition up with Prof. Gambill. su-
perintendent of the Canon City
schools. who discussed II with him in
detail and recommended that II such
a class should be organized here that
Prof. M. Il. Logan, principal Of the
Lincoln school, be designated as tits
teacher. Prof. Logan is willing to do
what he can in the undertaking and
would. probably. consent to act as in
structor upon matters relating to
American history and the federal con
stitution. which defines the rights and
privileges of citizens of this country.
II such class was formed. Prof
Logan is very busy man and would
not, of course. understake the mat
ter without the cordial support OF
