Bud Nix Home
from Extended STAY

Bud Nix returned to Canon City a
few days ago from southern Caiifor-
mia where he has been for the last
nine months and expresses himself
as glad to be back in Colorado He
spent the greater part of the time in
ceptional opportunities for seeing the
Colorado soldier boys at Camp Kear-

He says the Colorado troops have
all left Camp Kearney for active ser
vice abroad and are now on the way
to the fighting zone. They are he

Camp Kearney. states Mr.. Nix. re
ceived many compliments in Calfor-

and soldierly bearing.
Major A. r. Livingston is on the
way overseas with his command, but
his sister. Miss Anna, is still at La
Jolla. according to Mr.. Nix. and will
probably remain there during the com.
ing winter. altho her plans are some

Mr. Nix says that California is all
right in many ways and that there is
plenty of entertainment there for peo-
pie who have the means and time to
enjoy it, but that conditions there do
not appeal to him as strongly as they
do in Colorado. Taking it altogether
he thinks Colorado is about the best
state in the Union.
Altho Camp Kearney has been de-
pleated of its old soldiers by order Of
the war department, for service
abroad. new regiments have taken
their place and there are as many
men undergoing military training
there now. as ever A few days be

magnets will pull the guns out of the
