A Good Appointment

Thos. w. Cunningham, chair
man of the board of county com.
missioners, has been appointed
honorary commissioner of the
Colorado State Fair for this coun-
ty. In the letter advising him of
his selection, the Colorado State
Fair commission say that the 1918
State Fair was conceded by all to
be the best fair ever held in the
west and that much credit for its
success is due to the assistance
rendered by the various honorary
commissioners; that the reason for
appointing Mr.. Cunningham is
that they desire a person that is
we'll known, has the confidence
and respect Of the citizens of his
county.
To see that this county is prop
perly represented at the State
Fair, Sept. % to 27, is a matter
that one man alone cannot do, but
he must have the hearty support
of all citizens.
By the passage of the bill now
before the legislature for an appro-
priation to assist the State Fair,
the State Fair commission feel
that they can assure the citizens
of Colorado that the 1919 fair will
be classed among the real state fairs
of this country.

Hardy Is Placed On
Important Committee

Guy U. Hardy, new congress-
man for this district, has recently
returned to Canon City from a
visit of several weeks in Washing
ton, D. G. Mr.. Hardy went to
Washington to attend the confer
ence of Republican members, to
look after committee assignments
and to get acquainted with some
of the duties of his office.
1t is not often that new mem-
Der of congress gets on one of the
few most important committees,
but MIR. Hardy is slated for the
committee on postoffices and post
roads, one of the most important
committees in the house. This
is considered a fine compliment
by old members and offers oppor-
tunity for good service to the dis
trict.
In letter to the editor Congress
man Hardy says: II am going
back to Washington about May 1st.
1t is generally expected that an
extra session will be called by
about June 1st, as the needs for
it are great. Before I left Wash
ington l opened an Office and left
a competent private secretary on
the job. l shall also always have
secretary in my Canon City
office, so that during the next two
years people of this district, who
have business with their congress-
man, will always receive prompt
attention by writing me either at
Canon City or Washington, D. G.
II am especially interested in the
cause of returning soldiers. 1
want soldiers and the families of
soldiers to be free to write me
about their affairs at any time.
These soldier affairs should be
fixed up as quickly as possible
and if any have trouble in getting
paw, allotments or bonus, have
them write me the full information
and l will help get prompt action"

banquet. Until after twelve O'Clock
the large and spacious floor was
too crowded for comfort, but every
body seemed to be having an abun-
dance of joy.
Uniforms are always attractive,
/; but when worn by our own boys
we'll they just grip you, that's all.
There were many beautiful Co.'S
tunes worn by the ladies', and
which will not soon fade from their
memories.
During the dance, and into the
morning hours-and they were
not all wee, small, by any means -
a lunch was served at the Midland
restaurant across from the hall.
Like the banquet and dance, these
refreshments we're free to the
soldiers and their guests. Boy
Scouts assisted the committee in
serving.
The committee on arrangements
named by Mrs. N. j. Pike. Mrs.
Margaret Robins, Mrs. D. j. Dom
nelly and Mrs. II. E. Machol,
Red Cross members in charge OF
appointment. were @. J. Hancock,
Henry McClelland and w. j.
Woodward. These gentlemen
gave much of their valuable time
to completing the arrangements.
The decorating committee we're
Ed Schoellkopf. Arthur Lugg.
w. E. Behr. E. T. Malone, Mrs.
Kathyrn Plumb and Miss Gladys
Oliver. Their work required time
and ability and could not have
produced better results.
Ell. Siekmann was committee
unto himself in charge of the
advertising, and handled it we'll.
The ladies in charge of the sup
per served at the Midland were
Mesdames II. E. Machol, Nello
Boyd, Gwendolyn Stroehle, John
Atcheson, Minner, Ella Roy and
Lombard. The cook, Fred Hart
man, was also on this committee,
and helped faithfully to make the
supper the success that it was.
E. M. Moscript, j, W. B. Smith
and James Underhill formed a
civic committee to assist in max.
ing the affair success.
This was brilliant closing of
the work of the Red Cross, as we'll

which to convey to our service

intense gratitude for their per-
formance of military duty by land

No City Election
REQUIRED This Year

The threatened opposition city ticket
did not materialize, just as was pre-
dicted by the Siftings, and there will
be no need for q city election this
spring. The prese mt city officials will
hold over, and any vacancies resulting
from later resignations can be filled by
election of the council. This will save
the city something like $500 election
expenses.
The time for filing the ticket expired
last Monday. There were not enough
signers to put it thru. A petition is
now being circulated to place W. E.
Passmore on the city council in place of
James Underhill, who contemplates re-
signing to render more valuable service
to the city in another capacity
The Siftings hears nospecial criticism
to Mr.. PASSWORDS candidacy. His
measure will probably be taken. the
figures checked over, and if he comes
up to the required specifications he may
be initiated into the mysteries Of a
full-f1edged councilman. There is no
reason why "Billy" should not make
good.
