FRANK L. SMITH-Most of the felt
hats men wear now are made out of
rabbit fur which is procured from for
eign countries. The more expensive
hats are made out this material. Ex-
periments with American rabbit fur
has not proved satisfactory, so the
! foreign product must be used.
| ALF MITCHELL-An Airedale dog
is brown and black in color. but when
! il is born and for eight or nine months
| it is almost entirely black. except II
! little space about the nose. Many
people are fooled on this point when
they buy puppy Airedale. When
| they see them all black they think
they are getting stung and are not
getting the real thing, but as a matter
Of fact they are.
L. E. SIDEBOTTOM-Be the
American Sugar Board delayed in get
ting the Cuban sugar crop it was sold
to foreign buyers and with the result
that the United States faces a sugar
shortage and a higher price for the
product The wholesale price in Den
yer raised 81 the 100 just the other
day.
CHARLES DUNCAN-The tremen-
dous demand for candy has caused
sacrcity in the wholesale market.
People are buying more candy today
than they ever have before in the his
tory of the country. More people. too,
are buying in 25 cents and so cent
quantities, where before they used to
buy in 10 cent and Is cent quantities.
MRS. T. NJ. HARDING-Isn't Canon
City going to do anything to celebrate
Armistice day, November IL? ! think
we ought to ge all the soldier boys
here and do something for them. What
is the use of having holiday IL we
have to sit at home and twiddle our
thumbs? Other towns are celebrat-
ing, why not Canon City? 1t is GER
tainly glorious event to celebrate.
Just think. it commemorate the win
ming the greatest war the world has
ever experienced.
F. ]. STIERS-l would say that al
most balf of the ranchers who live on
Lincoln Park work in the mines close
by Practically all of them are still
working. altho ough three or four who
had been working at Bear Gulch are
idle. AS a whole this year Lincoln
Park ranchers have made little
money with their crops. Some made
their money on cherries and others
on apples. A good share of the apple
crop has been marketed already. and
the prices obtained have been ece,-
lent.
E. A. BRADBURY would not be
in favor of big bonfire on Armistice
day because OF the scarcity of fuel
due to the strike. While. of course.
! old boxes and boards would be used
think it, nevertheless, would be In
bad taste because there might come
time during this winter that those
boards and boxes would be the means
of keeping women and children from
freezing TO death.
MRS. l.. f. SCHWAB-The other
day on the street I heard many re-
marks made against the Red Cross.
One party said that II she had a penny
she would throw it away before she
would let the Red Cross have it. !
am safe in saying that / heard sew
eral remarks. of similar trend. !
think it is shame. The Red Cross
has done such wonderful things for
our boys that all should praise it. We
who had fathers, brothers and sons
in the great world ar know what Won
derful things the Red Cross did for
the sick and the wounded. ! had O
son who fell several thousand feet
while trying out an aeroplane. His
physician put him under the care OF
the Red Cross in the hospital where
he was for three weeks and more. He
didn't want to go in the first place
because he said he wasn't hurt. After
he had been there awhile he didn't
want to leave because he got such
splendid and efficient treatment. He
said the Red Cross nurses always
brought sunshine to everyone / be-
lieve that every parent and everyone
who had relatives in the great war
should let their dollars bring sunshine
to soldiers that are still in the service
and to civilians who need help
through the Red Cross-to those still
overseas and to those at home. We
so often hear the expression: Let our
light shine SO others may see our
good works" Now is a time and
an opportunity 20 Jet our dollars shine
SO that the Red Cross can continue
doing its good work.
T. H. ROBBINS-Senevty-6 to so
years ago l caught rabbits and took
their pelts TO halter in the town OF
Rockvale, Ind. and he made them into
hats for one-balf of the Delts took
