GREAT INTEREST IN
FOOD CROWNS CLUBS

Great interest is being shown among
the people OF Canon City in the pro-
posed Potato Clubs TO be formed
by the Conservation committee for thas
purpose OF increasing the production
OF foodstufis in Fremont county and
a large number OF men have Indicated
their intention OF taking memberships
In them. The popular response to
the proposition outlined in the -Pota-
to club idea has suggested TO Coun-
ty Commissioner @. v. Hoddn and
others that more extensive cuItivaA
tion of beans and. perhaps. other veg
etables. might be promoted in the
same way and they are urging the
formation of bean growing clubs dur
ing the continuance OF the war AS ~
means Of reducing the high cost OF
living.
The season for spring planting is at
most here and people concerned in
the. Potato club. or Bean club
idea are requested to see Secretary

A. {. CARLTON AND
ASSOCIATES BUY THE
COLORADO MIDLAND

Colorado Spring, April 23.-The
Colorado Midland railroad with all its
appurtenances, was bought. by A. E.
Carlton, Spencer Penrose, C. NJ. Mac
Neill, E. p. Shove and associates of
colorado Springs at auction sale held
Saturday afternoon by W. L. Dayton
master in chancery, at the Colorado
Midland depot in Colorado City, for
$1,425.000. c. c. Hamlin, represent
ed the purchasers at the sale.
The upset price was 100000 and
the bidders were A. T.. Carlton, Geo.
p. Johnson of New York, and Gerald
Hughes of Denver, representing the
Central Trust company of New York.
Arthur Herr, Edward Grimes and M !.

and Nathan Rosenblatt of New York.
opposed to represent other junk or
railroad interests. All the bidders
had deposited $4,000 to make them
eligible for the purchase.
Mr.. Carlton issued the following
statement:
This purchase has been made by
men who have the interests of the
Pixies Peak region in mind. II would
be a shame to allow this road to be
sent to the scrap heap and its pur.
chase by Colorado Springs men means
that this city has regained control OF
a road which was originally planned
and built by Colordo Springs man,
j. J. Hagerman. The control of the
road was turned to other people but
it is now regained and we will put it
on its feet again. 1t will add to the
harmony of interests in the Pixies
Peak region and the state. The more
Colorado men control interests here
the better. A vast amount of detail
will have to be worked out in the next
few months and the improvements of
the system will be a matter of years.

The night schools all along the Pa

thousands and they are doing big
educational work. There are ten thou
sand people attending the night
schools in San Diego alone. A law
was recently enacted by the legisla-
ture at Sacramento making women
eligible for jurors in all OF the courts
OF the state. The city council at San
Diego is cooperating with the public
raising potatoes and vegetables on
the Pingree plan to meet the high

MOFFAT LINE
EXTENSION TO
SALT LAKE IS
ANNOUNCED

San Francisco, April 19.-Plans for
the extension of the Denver and Salt
Lake Railroad from Craig, Colo. to
Salt Lake City was announced today
by President Boetcher. The road will
connect with the Southern and the
Western Pacific lines at the mormon
metropolis.
This is the road that was started
by David H Moffat several years ago
and the monument to his foresight
and energy. II tapped a rich portion
of Colorado and brought it into won
derful development. 1t is rich in coal
and cattle and millions of dollars
have been invested in various sue
cessful enterprises in the portion of
Colorado tapped by this road.
1t has long been the wish of all
in that portion of Colorado and Utah
thru which the road passes or is to
pass that it would eventually be com
pleted into Salt Lake. 1t looks now
as if these hopes were to be realized.

The other day a gentleman in
South Canon came in and asked The
Record folks If a Record Want Ad
would sell an automobile. We told
him that a Want Ad would sell milk
COW every time and might sell an
automobile but that we wouldn't guar.
antee it.
He said that he would take a chance
and paid SO cents for little Want
Ad to run a week. Later he came
in and said that the second insertion
brought buyer and that he got his
price for the car. He would have
been pleased with the Ad IL it had
cost him $40 but it cost him only
SO cents.
A Record Want Ad will sell most
anything sometimes. And they don't
cost much. Five cents line-or pay
so cts when you put the ad in and

JUNIOR SENIOR CLASS
BANQUET HELD At HOTEL
MILLER FRIDAY NIGHT

The commencement season may be
said to have been ushered in by the
Junior-Senior class banquet of the
Canon City high school at the Hotel
Miller Friday night. Few social events
OF the academic year are quite so de-
lightful as the Junior-Senior banquet
and recoliections of II are deeply
craven on the memories OF those who
are permitted 10 enjoy them.
There were present at the banquet
Friday night nearly one hundred
guests. including the forty members
bers OF the Senior class: the members
OF the high school faculty and the
members OF the board OF education
and their wives. The decorations of
the hotel dining room were in the ma
tional colors and were elaborate and
we'll arranged. Seldom has the hotel
presented a more festive appearance.
or housed a gayer company of people
than IL did Friday night There were
flags and the. national colors every.
where They depended in graceful
folds from the walls and by their
beauty attracted attention from all ex-
pected. as well as unexpected places.
Never did the flag look prettier or its
meaning seem more emphatic and sig
nificant. The table decorations were
made conspicuous by red and white
carnations. and white candlesticks
with red shades. The candlesticks
were the handiwork OF the boys OF
the manual training department Of
the high school and the shades the
handiwork OF the girls OF the domcs.
tic science department.
The banquet fully maintained the
splendid reputation of the Hotel Mil
Ter for It's cuisine and service and the
literary pabulum that followed was
highly creditable TO those who fur.
nished II. The evenings entertain
ment was one OF emphatic enjoyment
to all and was SO entered upon the
records of the classes that inspired
and gave II. The menu and post pran-
dial program follow:
