Thought
of Death Did
for One Man

Corporal Holmes says IN the May
American Magazine:
THE one thing that did more for
me than anything else was the con.
stant thought of death. There is no
thing in the world like that, to make
man take square look at himself.
This week may be the last you have
to live. Sometimes it. is this day; or
this. hour; even this very minute.
you get 20 that you live with that thot
all the time. And under all the sur
face laughter and grumblipg there is
desperate wish to square yourself
with Life.
Even now that have come out OF
ne war, l find that haven't lost that
thought of death. don't believe q
day goes by that 1t doesn't come TO
me. Probably 1t has become habit
of mind At any rate, keep right
on with 1t. 1t isn't a morbid feeling
II is Just that came to realize that
life is only passing thing. and that
whatever want to make of it must
be made right now"

Red Cross Concert
by Local Talent
Delightful Affair

One of the most pleasing musical
City for long time by local people
was the Red Cross benefit concert Mt
the First Presbyterian church Monday
night There was a large audience
and the program enlisted much of the
bes talent of the city In both vocal
and instrumental numbers.
The affair had been looked forward
to with much expectancy by the mus
ically inclined and its realization fully
redeemed their highest anticipations
of enjoyment. That 1t was expected
to be an occurrence of unusual inter
est was demonstrated by the splendid
assemblage which gathered to listen
to 1t and that 1t was appreciated was
evidenced by the applause of its
patrons. Every number was well rem
dered and elected admiration.
The program was at once popular
and was varied enough in its compo-
sition to suit all tastes. Among the
non-residents contributing to the
pleasure of the occasion we're Miss
Guamer. who is at present visiting
relatives in Canon City. and Mrs. W..
W. Cafky OF Florence; both of them
stellar attractions Miss Gumaer is
q young woman of fine musical attain
ment and as a vocalist she has taken
part in concert work all over the
country Her singing Monday night,
was feature of the program. Mrs
Cafky as a pianist. had previously
appeared before Canon City audi
ences and ia always a favorite. Her
Instrumentation is graceful. inspir-
ational and perfect in technique and
execution OF the Canon City people
taking part in Monday nights concert
program little comment is necessary,
beyond the statement that their work
was of high order of excellence and
won for them unstinted praise and ad-
miration. Among the participants in
the program as vocalists were Mrs.
W. q. Holland. Mrs. Fred w. Reiter.
Miss Eima Lind Smith. Miss Milli-
cent Steacy, Miss Cumaer: Messrs.
C. w. Van Patten. W. D. Mcmillan
and Fred Hubert. Among the instru-
mentalists were Miss Hendrickson.
Mrs. Cafky and others.
The program was a well balanced
one in all respects and appealed to all
music-loying people. The giving OF
such concert for the Red Cross fund
was happy thot and its promoters
are to be commended for their inspir'
alton. A considerable sum of money
was realized from the sale of tickets
for the patriotic enterprises of the
Red Cross.

Men Doing

Va Jolla boasts the only mems
class of Red Cross workers IN San
Diego county. In fact there are few
other places that keep pace with this
industrious town when 1t comes to
Red Cross work. whether handled by
men or women. This interesting class
was rganized on Jan. 21 by Mrs. Byrd
Payne and placed by her under the
management of Miss Helen Clark.
The class meets every Monday night
from until 9. although the members
more often stay until 10 O'Clock or
later
The membership has grown until
the club has 20 members from all
over the country. The men say they
have quite a bit of difficulty when
first taking up this work They do sur
gical dressings entirely and II takes
them a little time to get their fingers
into the knack Of handling the gauze
with the proper efficiency. but they
are hard workers and those in charge
report their work as very accurate
and most exquisitely done. To date
the men have made fine record of
over 5000 articles including compress

Give Until 1t Hurts

(From the Philadelphia Telegraph,
America has not yet started to give
until it hurts. All the other beliiger-
ents in Europe have been ,wincing for
a couple Of years.
A large part of the American popu-
lation is now richer than ever be-
fore and directly richer because Of the
war. Abnormal prices have profited
the farmers as a class to, the extent
Of billions of dollars.
Many manufacturers and producers
have also profited directly even II
legitimately by the war. Tens Of
thousands OF American laborers have
at the end OF each month larger sur
plus OF cash than they ever had prior
to 1914, when the war began.
Which means that while the war Ia
costing the United States government
more than s1.oo0.000 every hour. q
very large part OF that million goes
right back into individual pockets- The
country has not lost this money. but
the nation as corporation has sim
ply borrowed 1t from individuals who
had made a large part of these loans
out OF ,theswar.
Hence a considerable part OF liber-
ty loan buying and Red Cross and Y
NJ. c. A. giving and thrift stamp pur-
cashing represents war profits. The
money came from the war and It goes
back into the war.
Now this being true. Il is obvious
that the country as a whole has not
even started to strain itself in the
pocket What has been done finan-
cialiy has merely dipped of some of
the surplus cream.
But the United States win have to
dig down deeper than the cream. 1t
has got to give and iend-buying
bonds and stamps rs not giving. but
only lending to the worlds richest
borrower-and II has got to give and
lend until the pocketbook Is fiat.
No war is won any other way. ex-
cept where q brutal conqueror like
Prussia in 1870 overruns q beaten nm
ton and compels II TO foot all the bills
OF the war. plus 100 per cent clear
profit in cash and as much more In
raped provinces.
America bIed white to get its inde-
pendence under Washington The
north bied white to save the Union
under Lincoln. Engiands debt TO ov-
erthrow Napoleon was greater in pro-
portion TO its wealth at that time
than Its debt today to annihilate q fRr
worse and more tyrannicai 'autocrst
than Bonaparte.
So the people OF the United States
should make up their minds to open
their pockets. to give and To lend. not
only systematically. but all the time
until the Hun gets that everlasting
licking which is now long overdue.

National Campaign
for Cottage Cheese

Washington. d. C.-To encourage
the use. as well as the making OF cot
tage cheese-a cheap and palatable
substitute for meat the United States
Department OF Agriculture has laun-
ched. campaign In which nearly a
hundred field workers will take part
and which is to carry to every state
in the Union. this lesson:
Cottage cheese is made from skim
milk-now largely wasted or fed to
animals. a pound of cottage cheese
has the same food value as a pound
of meat. Make cottage cheese. and
thus put to valuable use wasted skim
milk. Eat cottage cheese; save the
meat for our soldiers and the Allies.
Three Of the big divisions Of the
Department of Agriculture are work
ing in the campaign. which also has
the cooperation OF the United States
Food Administration.

and helping to make the treatre clean
and sanitary at all times.
There is a ladies' rest room and,
tciIet and gentlemen's room A
bubbling sanitary fountain is placed
conveniently at the rear of the audi
torium.
Two heating plants were installed
SO that the theatre could be kept warm
and comfortable at all times. One Of
the plants would be sufficient to keep
the house warm during even the cold
est weather. but the Messrs. Jones
wanted to be certain on that point, SO
put in two.
Two Simplex moving picture ma
chimes OF the latest improved patterns
have been installed in the fireproof
operating booth. The two machines
will enable the management to run
continuous pictures with no stop what
soever between reels. Every possible
convenience has been afforded the op-
orator SO that he can work at his
best at ali times. Aut-,mauc fire
shutters win protect the audience If
at any time fire should start in the
booth.
A feature in. the balcony win be
the step lights which. when the house
lights are dark. will be lighted and
thus aid the people in climbing the
stairs and finding their seats without
stumbling all over everything and
everybody.
The theatre decoration is beautiful.
The wood work is done in white en-
amel and mahogany. The lower walls
have been done in Tiffany finish and
the side walls have been paneled In
very pretty shades of pink and green,
The ceiling is finished in tan. afford

The theatre front is plain and sim.
pie but by that very fact it has
strong appeal because of the har-
mony and proportions produced. The
lower part is finished in white tile,
the upper in tan pressed brick. Art
