COCHRANlS COMMENT

JINRAL JAKE'S UNIFORM. - If
Jake Loeb's public school soldiers
have to wear uniforms with brass
buttons, I insist that JinTal Jake
wear one, too. Yes, and John Eek
hart, as chairman of the military
training commission, also ought to
climb into uniform. 1t might help
some if all other members Of the
school board owned by Jinral Jake
would do the same. Not that they
need the military training so much,
for they line up beautifully in COM
pany front and step lively when jim
raj Jake gives his commands. But
not many people know Jinral Jake's
school board cadets by sight, and if
they wore a special uniform we COM
mon folks might soon learn to know
them by sight and take our hats off
as they pass us on the street.
,COrpOral-Lipsky, who is with jim
raj Jake when really needed and agin
him at other times, could be fitted
out with uniform that faces both
ways, with brass buttons up and
down the back as well as the front.
But Jinral Jake, as the comman-
der-in-chief of the school board ca
diets, is entitled to a distinctive uni
form, with more brass buttons than
any of the others. And his chesty
boozum should have medals all over
it. Big Biz would doubtless pin the
Iron Cross or the Victoria Cross or I,
any other old cross on him for gal
Iantry on the field of battle with the
school teachers. And the Guardians
of Liberty might pin the Double
Cross, on him for what he did to
them.
But I'm not particular about what
crosses he wears so long as there
are plenty of 'em. And I hope bis
uniform will be pretty. 1 want jim
raj Jake to look the part when he

CASE TO SET ASIDE
DEED DISMISSED

In tn district court last Monday
morning Judge Cooper handed down
a decision in the case of f. o. Phle-
gar. trustee. versus G. w. Tobin and
Mrs. Edna Lea. This case was tried
in the district court on Friday, May
4th., and. at the conclusion of the
plaintiffs testimony. counsel for the
defendants made motion for dismiss
sal of the action because OF the alleg-
ed failure of the defendant to estab-
hsh his contention in the premises.
The matter was taken under advise
ment by the court until the follow
ing Monday in order to look up the
authorities bearing upon the questions
involved in the proceedings. The pur-
pose of the action was to set aside
deed of conveyance by G. W. Tobin
to his co-defendant, which deed was
made more than four months before
Mr.. Tobin was adjudged a bankrupt
in the federal court, and the charge
of fraud was made in the complaint
The court held that although, perhaps
fraud may have been proven TO some
extent, yet the plainuff wholly failed
TO prove that the conveyance in ques-
tion was voluntary. Accordingly the
motion for non-suit was sustained,
and the action dismissed
At the trial the plaintiff was rep
resented by French L. Taylor, John T.
Barbrick, and Leo p. Kelly all Of Pu-
eblo; and the defendants interests
were looked after by James T. Locke.
The property affected included the
home place of Mr.. Tobin. at 732 Ha-
eel avenue, and other Canon City
houses and realty.

a burden on the survivors OF the Civil

months ago assumed the responsible
ity for making such arrangements for
them. for which the veterans were
very grateful The same reason has
prompted the younger generation To
perform again this year a like ser
vice for the patriots OF 1861 who vol
unteered their lives upon the field
of battle that the nation might iSe
indivisible and that "old Glory"
might wave without stripe erased

Or. PITT A. WADE ELECTED
PRESIDENT OF THE SOUTH
CANON SCHOOL BOARD

The election in South Canon Mon
day afternoon was of great interest
to its citizens and drew out a large
number of voters. There were 430
ballots cast in all, of which number
DIR. Wade received 227, and Mr.. Full
ford 202. One vote wss lost.
DIR. Wade stands for union of the
two school districts in our commun-
ity and the people that supported him
in the election did SO because they
favored his position. Each district
is endeavoring to support a Liberal
Arts and Manual Arts department in
its high school. DR.. Wade believes
that by uniting the two districts, and
consolidating the Liberal Arts depart
ment of both communities in one
school building, and the Manual Arts
department of both in the other school
building the entire system can be oper-
ated with a higher degree of effci-
ency and at no greater expense to
the tax payers. Under this plan ey
cry graduate will hold his diploma
from the Canon City high school;
some from the Liberal Arts depart
ment and some from the Manual
Arts department. This valley should
have a very strong and efficient Man
ual Arts High school offering our chill
dren thorough course in Agriculture
Domestic Science and Manual Train
ing, as well as very complete COM
mercial course. The building in
South Canon is admirably planned
and located Cor conducting this Manu-
al Arts department By uniting the
two schools, We can also organize
one of the strongest athletic teams
in the state of Colorado.
Economy, efficiency and organiza-
ton characterize the spirit of the
age. and in proportion as we increase
our educational advantages, insomuch
will we attract homeseekers to our
community. xxx

ed that 1000 acres OF Teller county
land will be planted in potatoes this

yer commission merchants have been

to put one half OF that amount in es.
crow with the banks to bind the sale,

ranchers have offered to sell their
1917 crops and that they will hold

for prices. which many OF them pre-.
dict will reach 10 cents pound be-

HOW TO DISPLAY "OLO GLORY

Washington. May 1o.-For the guild
ance of puzzled patriots. the war de-
partment has prescribed this simple
formula for hanging the American
flag : as it should be hung.
Whenever possible hang the flag
from a staff, and not against the wall
use bunting for the wall.
II. however. flag is hung against
wall. the field Of stars should be al
ways to the north-on a north and
south street. and to the east on an
east and west street.
Never hang 1t horizontally. If pos
sible 10 hang 1t otherwise. but IL hung
horizontally. the end containing the
stars should be at the north or east.
Army regulations call for the flag
to fly from sunrise to sunset. but 1t
is optional with the individual wheth-
er it shall fly at night or not.
