WASHIM6TOM'S BIRTHDAY
HON0RED BY HOLIDAY

Washington's birthday was honored
in Canon City today by the closing
of the postoffice. the banks. the coun-
ty and city Offices and the public
schools. Only one delivery of mail
was made by the letter carriers from
tie postoffce. Flags were displayed
at number of residences about town
in celebration of the occasion and
there were several picnic parties in
the nearby hills. ..
Special recognition of the day was
shown by the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution who held their annual
Colonial tea at the public library from
8 until O'Clock this afternoon and
by the Elks, who gave a semi-public
reception TO the ladies of the city at
their club building during the same
period Both events were largely at
tended and were very interesting. The
tea was given as a benefit for the book
purchasing fund of the library and
was a very delightful affair. as was
also the reception at the Elks' club.
Each of these gatherings was of pa
triotic character and musical pro-
grams containing the national airs
were rendered amid setting of the
national colors. .
Practically all of the public schools
in the county were closed in commem-
Grafton of the day, the observance in
that respect being more general than
ever before.
Today is the one hundred and eigh-
ty-fifth birthday anniversary of the
first president. of whom one of his bi-
ographers has said. "He was first in
war, first in peace and first in the
hearts OF his countrymen."

and we have 1t in mind now to put
the building where it will show promi-

vehicles can drive to the station and
up TO the building without crossing
the tracks. The space between the
building and the passing tracks will
be quite similar 10 the arrangement

walks, grass plots. ETC."

CITY HIGH TROUNCES
FLORENCE AI6H SECOND TIME

Wednesday night at the high school
gymnasium the locals won second
one-sided basket ball victo y over the
Florence high school team.
On the 9Th of February. when the
Canon City quintet journeyed to Flor
,ence and there matched the skill of
its members against the neighboring
city five they emerged victoTiously
from the contest with a score of % to
Z. The line up in that game for Can
on City was Clyde Ray, right forward;
Claude Ray, left forward; Tomlinson.
center; Mickle, right guard; Corrin,
/, left guard. The feature of the game
at Florence was the close guarding of
the locals, in which they held their
opponents down to one lonely field
goal.
In the game Wednesday night the
local line up started with Claude Ray
as right forward; Finis Parks, left
| forward; Clyde Ray, center; Corrin,
right guard and Mickle. left guard.
! This combination remained intact un-
til the early part of the second half.
when Parks was shifted to his old po-
sition at center and Malcolm Carlson
took his place AT forward. Parks has
| not played the pivotal position since
the Colorado Springs game, which
has necessitated either a shifting of
the players or the use of a substitute
I at center. Taking this fact into con-
sideration and also that most of the
/ boys are playing their first year with
the regulars, the season thus far has
been very propitious. With the ex-
oeption of last weeks bobble in the
game with South Canon, which has
previously been accounted for and
which will undoubtedly be wiped out
in future game, the bays have more
than exceeded the expectations of the
North Canon sEmpathizers.
For the visitors, Smith, captain, and
! Lewis. the forward, played the best
game.
Porter of Pueblo refereed in his
usual satisfactory manner.
While The two parts of the score
were never very intimate. there were
several thrills. a large crowd was
present and there was iots of pep.
The next game here will be with
Centennial high school OF Pueblo next
Friday, March 2nd. This will be the
best game left on the schedule and
the contest promises to be a battle
royal The Canon City high school
broke the record of the Centennial
high school of never having been de-
feated on 1beir own door and tie de-
feat and chance for yengeanoe has
not been forgotten
! The game Wednesday night WAS
preceded by girls exhibition of bas-
ket ball They showed thai they are
by no means ignorant of the sport
and if they had a full schedule of
games would rival the boys in the
number of sealps. The two teams,
J composed OF local high school girls.
was as follows: Reds, Esther Scroggs.
( Minnie Mcdonald. Villa Lambraith.
Maude McKinnon. Esther Manioye and
Esther Larsen: Blues. Sarah Harding,
PerIeta Heyl, Marjorie Merriam, Min
ME Blake. Helen Matthews and Edna
| Williams. The game was won by the
Blues by a score of % to 2.
A team from this list will play the
girls team OF Buena Vista high school
here Friday night. A large crowd is
expected TO witness the frst interscho-
lastic girls basket ball game pleycd
here for several years.
