CANT0NMENTS WILL
USE MANY BASEBALlS

If anyone doubts that base
ball is the American national
game, the doubter should take a
look at the plans made by the
commissions on training camp
activities of the army and navy
departments. Every IN of the
million and a half men under
training in this country will in
dulge in baseball practice at n
time or another during the pres
emf season..
1t is estimated that approx
mately $4,000 balls will be used
up Officially" in the camp
games in the course of the sea
son. This figure is arrived at
by estimating that there are
over 400 companies in training
in the various camps, and multi
plying this number by II, which
is the number of baseballs
the training camp commission
is planning to furnish each unit,
in addition to gloves and bats.
Many more of course will be
supplied the men themselves,
and these will bring the number
nearer 10000, it is believed.

M. w. A. Memorial
Service on Sunday

The members of Canon City Camp
ca. in association with the members
of Mayflower Camp, Royal Neighbors
of America, celebrated the annual me
mortal day custom of their order on
Sunday by decorating the graves of
their dead with flowers and by attend
ing religious worship at Trinity Lu-
theran church. The strewing of flow.
ers upon the last resting places of de-
parted members took place Sunday af-
ternoon, following the observance of
the usual ritualistic ceremonies of
their organization provided for such
occasions. Both Lakeside and Green.
wood cemeteries were visited and flow
ers reverently laid on the graves OF
former members of the two camps
sleeping there. There are twenty
eight deceased members of Canon
City camp resting there and one mem
ber of the Royal Neighbors, the latter
being the late Mrs. r. S. Coolbaugh.
The ceremonies were beautiful and
impressive.
On the return from Greenwood Gem
etery flowers were strewn on the wa
ters of the Arkansas river from the
First street bridge in honor of Grant
Chess. a former member of the camp
who was drowned while attempting to
cross Four Mile creek a number oi
years ago and whose body was never
recovered.
The memorial sermon preached b,
Rev. Elmer w. Harner at the Lu
theran church in the evening was ar
eloquent one.

Seip's Make Big
improvements
in Their Store

Seip's confectionery and refresh
ment parlor at $50 Main street is now
one of the most uptodate establish
ments of the kind in the Arkansas val
ley.
Seip Brothers. with Roy Seip in
charge. have just completed improve
ments costing several thousand dol
lars which make this store modern in
every respect. Besides entirely new
candy cases. tables and chairs an Al
bert Pick sanitary fountain of the
latest pattern has been installed. II
is one of the prettiest fountains in
this part of the state and at the same
time it utilizes every facility for the
prompt easy and sanitary filling OF
every order. The counter is of white
marble and the metal parts are all
highly polished. Theback bar has
q big French bevelled-plate mirror
and the wood is fumed oak. French
art glass doors give most artistic
touch to the setting.
The tables all have marbletops,
with fumed oak bases The chairs
are of fumed oak. and are light and
small, a beautiful art painting by
Morgan. which sets clear across the
width of the building, greets the Wis.
itor as he enters. II sets on the fix
tures aud the other interior decora-
tions to good advantage. The inte-
rior possesses "a pleasing appearance
and impresses one with its cleanli-
ness.
Mr.. Seip has also spent quite a sum
in constructing light. airy and sani-
tary candy kitchen. and also con
creted room for manufacturing his ice
cream. Both rooms are so built that
they can be kept clean easily at all
times.
Mr.. Seip spared no expense in max
ing his improvements and as result
he has place OF which not only him
self. but Canon City. can be proud.
With this excellent establishment
Esser a. kissinger's. Nelson's and the
two theatres the block between Sixth
and Seventh has come TO be the pleas
ure block of Canon City.

SUGAR BOWL
IS BANiSHED

The old time.honored sugar bowl
has disappeared from Colorado
tables Facing an intensive canning
and storage season which viii prob
ably. be unequal.d in the history OF
the country. together with re-
dueed beet acreage. the Y. 8. Food
Administration for Colorado waved
its food control wand and sugar
bowiless meals were established.
According To J. N. Bundick. chair
man OF the sugar division OF the
food administration. action OF this
nature was necessary to insure
sufficient supply OF sugar TO meet
the increased demand OF the can
ming season.
In the Colorado sugar store
houses there Is vast amount of
sugar. but that amount must he
available for shipping when demands
come and when IL is possible to oh
tain cars. Beet sugar production OF
the United States during the coming
year will be approximately soc. .O0e.-
600 pounds less than last: Cuban
sugar supply. owing TO numerous
causes among which are transporta-
tion. political unrest and general war
conditions is rapidly decreasing. And
sugar conservation now is vital"
stated Bundick.
The new sugar regulations allow
consumers TO have two teaspoon.f,l
or two Jumps of sugar TO one cup of
tea. coffee or Ice tea. and two tes-
spoonsful of sugar to each additional
service of fruits. cereals or so forth.
No sugar In allowed for pie puddinrs
or any food 10 which sugar ha. al
ready been added.

SUBSTITUTE PRICES
HERE MEET AVERAGE

with housewives and consumers
all over the state questioning III.
Legitimacy OF the prices of wheat
substitutes. the United States Food
Administration for Colorado has re-
gently mad. the announcement that
the cost OF wheat flour here is low
er than In any state in the Union .s-
eept Oregon. and that the average
prices OF the substitute. grains 10
practically level with the prices of
all the other states.
Substitute grains ar. not raised In
Colorado to any great extent and
their cost with freight and other
charges added IL bound to make the
price of products from these rraius
relatively higher than tn. price OF
wheat.
Considerable hope Is being felt in
food. administration offices through
out the stste that with increased
manufacture and improved methods
the price OF substitutes will gTadu-
ally be lowered until a nonal prie.
has been established.

WHEAT SAVING
STILL VITAL
TO VICTORY

Colorado has been saving wheat
saving IL with all OF her western
yigor and determination to feed
American soldiers and the starving
people of the allies. But the need
has not been met. The time has
not come when conservation can be
thrown aside; when loyal Ameri-
cans can eat as much. AS often. and
what they want.
A report. which may be caused by
misunderstanding or may be the out
growth OF vicious propaganda, has
been receiving certain credehee OF
late to the effect that the need OF
further conservation is past.
Such u report is absolutely un-
founded" declared Robert j. GranSs-
executive manager OF the Colorado
food administration. and anyone
who relinquishes his efforts 10 save
wheat in every way possible is help
ing his country's enemy
Food Administrator Herbert Hoover.
sensing the seriousness OF the situ-
alton should Americans in any
great number stop saving flour. has
sent to every state the following
Telegram:
Reports have been circulated that
food administration officials state
further wheat conservation not
necessary. No statement OF the
character has ever been issued. The
actual position is that our supply
until harvest allows home conSump-
tion OF approximately one-third
normal II We are to- maintain allied
supplies. The actual position is that
in farmers hands and storage We
had at the beginning OF May seventy
five million bushels OF wheat to
carry us for approximately three
months or with an early harvest per
haps two weeks shorter. our norm
al consumption for three months
would be one hundred and twenty
million bushels. not allowing allies
anything. HOOVER
