laws TO properly cope with the prac-
tices of such people.
w. Fl. CLARK-It is hoped by the
roll call committee that business
firms and mercantile corporations will
yet respond more generously to the
call for donations to the Red Cross
fund II is true that the home serv-
ice work and civilian relief is new
venture for the Red Cross and must
prove itself out. but in my opinion it
is service for which there is a
great need and Should be literally
supported If evervbodv would take
the trouble &c he more intimately ac-
1rainted sitl. what has been done and
the program. to.l, local and national.
| think more support would be given.
NJ attention should b., given to false
rumors by irresponsible persons. Thus
far the only subscriptions reported
from Fremont county corporations are
from the C. F. & l. Company. the two
cement companies. the canning COM
pany, the light and power company.
the ice company and Canon-Reliance
(Wolf Park) Coal Company and the
Canon City Foundry In some cases
members of firms and partnerships on
Main street have subscribed literally.
but donations from the smaller corpor-
ations are yet to be received.

Ridicule and sarcasm loses some
stores more business than do high
prices.
T. A. HAYNES--This is the best
year 1 have had since l have been in
the real estate business. And I think
that the coming year VIII be still bet
ter. l am confident that values will
be at least third higher by the
spring of next year than they are now
in Canon City. And right now and
even then real estate values will be
very low compared with what it would
demand to buy a lot and build. AS
long as property values in Canon City
are low there will be but little build
ing done.
p. H. TROUTMAN-I have antici-
pated all along that for perhaps the
next five years this country would be
in turmoil either industrially or po-
litically. At times conditions will
border on revolution much worse per-
haps than we find today in some sec
tions. This Is just my opinion and is
not infallible judgment of course.
SUPT. STROCK (of Porland)-
Say. If you fellows want to do some
thing for humanity's sake why in the
name of God don't you take up the
bread question. Don't you know that
the stuff called bread and sold for
bread is an imposition upon the peo-
pie who are obliged to use It? 1t is as
porous as a sponge and as full OF
holes as a seive, and 1t contains about
as much human nutriment as cows
cud 1t is possible to wad a gener-
ordinary pill would make a creditable
showing when placed along side it.
We have been led to believe that this
has all came about by the demand for
a nice white loaf, but you can say for
me that / prefer something with a
little more substance, and / believe l
am voicing the sentiments OF 80 per
cent of the people who buy bakers
bread. President Emeritus Eliot of
Harvard University has figured that
s12.000,000 is spent each year in this
country for chewing gum. and II this
is true why can't We start a campaign
OF education to improve the quality
OF the staff of life? 1t is certainly
something fierce.
