A Montrose doctor figures it out
this way He declares that 40 per
cent of the people on the average are
subject to the disease and 60 per cent
are immune. OF these forty per cent
per cent get pneumonia, and of that
per cent about 20 per cent die. This
makes a death rate of Il TO the thous-
and as probable. Accordingly he fig
ured there should be Sc deaths in
Montrose, because they had 1000 peo-
pie. tThe number has since reached
over CO., At this rate in the whole
United States 100000 would sue
cumb. Latest figures give those prob
ably dead as a result of the Flu as
100000 leaving a million yet to die.
That doctor was some figurer.

FLU BAN LIFTED AT
CANON CITY
Continued From First Pase)

(Contlnued FROM kIrSe Fage)
influenza was lifted here today. The
theaters will open tonight and the
churches Will hold their first services
since September on Sunday morning.
No Sunday school or evening church
sessions, however, vii be held until
the first of the year, and the public
schools are now scheduled TO open on
Monday, December 80. The senior
class of the Canon City high school
which has BY special permission been
holding daily recitations, when in
formed that the ban had been lifted,
tore off the masks which they had
been required 10 wear and threw them
out the windows with great demon
strations of joy.
For the first time there will be no
Christmas demonstrations in any of
the churches much 10 the disappoint-
ment of the children who have always
heretofore participated in these fes-
tivities. The city council has an
nounced that the ban possibly has NOT
been permanently lifted but is held in
abeyance pending the result of the
action. The city is providing free vac
cination TO everybody with the Mayo
serum and the cit health officer and
several nurses have been busily en-
gagged at the Washington school build
ing for several days administering II
TO school children and others. Altho
there has been a decided decrease in
the number of ''fiu- cases in Canon
City, there are several critical cases
al the hospitals and there is yet di-
versity of opinion on the part of phys
icians and others on the advisability
of lifting the ban at this time.

THE VALUE OF TIME
The Harvester World:

The Harvester World:
Time. II is our most precious be-
longing. We may inherit houses and
lands, and there is no limit to the num-
bcr Of dollars we may secure thru la
Dor, inheritance or investment.
But who is there to leave US more
time? Who, dying young, can be-
qucath Us extra years to live? We
have our precious allotment that we
can make go as far as possible, but
no power on earth can increase our
allotment.
Primitive man tTudging on foot
wherever he went, carrying his mea-
gre possessions on his back, a heavy
stick his only weapon, did very little
during his allotted days. He ate when
he could, tearing the half cooked meat
from the bones with his sharp teeth,
but he hadn't the means wherewith
TO realize the ambitions which moved
always in his breast. His barren life
was an unfinished answer to the rid
die of time.
The struggle of man since the first
streaks Of the dawn OF history crept
across the sky has been to live more
and do more within his allotted time.
If we cannot increase our minutes, we
must increase our achievements dur
ing those minutes. If We are born
to hear only so many solemn clock
ticks, we must make the face of the
clock each morning look out upon a
buster and more resultful day.
