Raymond Grimes
Oil Magnate Visits
Canon City

A few years ago Raymond Grimes
used to be a clerk for Billie Peabody
IN the drug store which the latter used
to run in the store room where A. H.
Davis is now ocatrn. When the oil
boom came on two or three years ago
Grimes got into the midst of the ac-
tivity. and has made money hand over
fist ever since. For instance, in the
past few months, in the Desdemona
Geld of Texas Grimes cleaned up
nearly as much as he made all the
time he was with Peabody.
Grimes has been connected with the
winners almost continuously. His re-
markable oil sense and the fact that
he confined his operations only to
proven fields has been responsible to a
large extent for his good fortune.
Doc" as he is best known, just ar
rived in, Canon City Friday. and will
be here few days on visit He is
fresh from Desdemona. or HogtowS
as it used to be known. and he says
that the Rainbow wen in which hum
dreds OF Canon City people are inter
ested. is bound to give good produc-
ton despite the water fault. which II
has encountered. He says water is
not the big menace in that field as it is
elsewhere, and where encountered
thus far has ben easily overcome, and
many OF the eood-sized producers to-
day had water fault when they first
came in.

Apple Cider

Prohibition has created great de-

and now here is this demand more in
evidence than in the case of our fruit
juices. This fact should not be over
looked by those who have apples go

to turn such fruit into profitable
source of revenue by making it up
into cider.
1t is predicted that with the in
creased demand. apple cider this fall
and winter will sell for anywhere
from 30 cents to 81 gallon. Much

Chester, Conn.-The Rev. George B. Gilbert rector of the Episcopal church here, has ordered the pews removed from the church and rocking chairs installed in their place.
 Mir. Gilbert asserts it is the mon strosity of straight-backed pews that is killing the church. He intends to have his parishioners comfortable when they gather to hear the gospel. the old ladies can rock as hard as they want to, can make the chairs squeak and can bring their bag of stockings to mend If they want to.
 Between Sundays MT. Gilbert will have the church auditorium cleared of rocking chairs and the boys of the parish can use the floor of the church for basketball court or a skating rink. After church on Sundays Mir Gilbert is willing to umpire a baseball game on the church lawn.

HE FAVORS UNIVERSAL
 TRAINING

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 (by Associ- ated Press).-War experience plainly reorganization of the army and of the war department itself, Secretary Ba- ker declares in his annual report. He recommends that the emergency or ganization, reduced to the peace-time size, be made permanent, and ap- proves the general staff bill for reg ular establishment adequate in size to be the nucleus of any great mili- tary mobilization the country may be called upon to make" and backed up by a system of universal training.
 'In such policy" MT. Baker says, ''the accent is upon the citizen, and not the soldier; the officers becoming a permanent corps of experts and the men a body temporarily devoting a portion of their time to military train ing in order that they may enter civil life with a sense of national service and with superior equipment for suc- cess"
 'It is difficult to believe" he says, denying any danger of militarism, that an army could be formed of Americans, educated in our common schools, raised in the free and demo- cratic atmosphere of our institutions, which would still be hostile to those institutions and liberties. The world war has shown quite clearly that armies reflect the spirit of the people from whom they come rather than ere ate spirit of their own, so that the size of the army is not so important sfrom the point of view now under con- sideration as the kind of army"
 '"The selective service law was ac- cepted as fair means of assigning men to military service in time of sorry service in time of peace would be "poor substitute for the volun- teer principle properly applied Rais- ing a standing army by financial in- ducement is too costly to contemplate, he adds, leaving only the method of making enlistment in the army an

If the SIXty-SiNth congress has saved the country one dollar 1t was by not passing laws of any kind. It has certainly not en- acted into legislation any bills that make for economical government.
