The efforts of the Canon City war

were good. considering that the small

Tte measure gauge for the small

In the work here this season those

gave the most remunerative and sat

The members of the Canon City
War Garden clubs were urged for
patriotic reasons TO raise more food

that $40 worth of vegetables were
raised in these emergency gardens.

CANON PEOPLE
HAD A fine
CHRISTMAS


Not for many years have the people
of Canon City celebrated Christmas
under more favorable conditions of
weather than they did ON Wednesday,
and never did they enter into the
spirit OF the occasion with more en-
;husiasm. or display greater generos-
iy towards the indigent and unfor-
unate than they did this year. The
only thing that detracted from its en-
joyment was the knowledge that more
people in the community were sick
than usual this season, as a result of
ihe influenza epidemic, but this recoI-
lection was assuaged to some extent
by the understanding that the conta-
gion was gradually passing. and that
II was claiming fewer victims now
than was the case easlier in the win
ter. Those who were wen felt a sym
pathy for those who were suffering.
and left nothing undone that would in
any way contribute to their comfort
and happiness. proving anew the
adage that suffering and misfortune
makes the whole world kin.
1t was white" Christmas. with
a clear, cold atmosphere that real
lied the traditions of our Old England
and New England ancestors SO far as
the weather was concerned. The day
was an ideal one for fitting obser-
vance of the great December holiday,
the happiest and most momentous in
the annals OF mankind. and ii was
made the most of in the encourage
mezt and renewal of those charitable.

that lie at the base of Christianity

erings and good cheer 1t was day
all in which old and young and middle
aged participated with zeal and enjoy
ment- It was an occasion for max
ing gifts and exchanging greetings of
friendship. neighborliness and good
will The religious feature of the
day was not forgotten. and in most
homes there was a special recogni-
ton OF the fact tina. the celebration
was primarily in honor OF the worlds
redeemer and that without Christ
there would have been no Christmas

were made as joyous as their unfor.
tunate surroundings and circuA-
stances permitted.
All in all the people OF Canon City
made a fine celebration of ChristmaR
on Wednesday. and the event will not
soon be forgotten by those who were
able to enjoy it The merchants bad

GOOD ROADS
CONVENTION
IN DENVER

Denver. Dec. 26.-(Spccial.) Plans
are now being made for the annual
convention of the Colorado Good
Roads Association to be held in Den
yer during the week of the stock
show. This convention will be one
of the most impoT ttasis ever held and
from reports received by the officials
of the association practically every
county in the state will be represent
ed With the war over. and having
the lessons learned from that great
struggle still in mind thtre is today
decidedly stronger sentiment in favor
of good roads in this state than ever.
This is brought about by the increas-
ing use of the truck, now regardcs!
as an absolutely necessary factor in
the upbuilding of the commerce OF the
state. Good roads mean better IA
cilities for the marketing of the prod
ucts of the farm. the mines. the
ranches and the city. Already the
value of motor transportation has
been thoroughly proved in many parts
of Colorado
The next Legislature will be asked
to enact into law three or four meas
ures which are virtually necessary to
greater road building in this state
Chief among these are the bill to al
low the people to vote on bond is
sue, the transfer of the inheritance
tax to the highway fund and changes
in the present automobile law. Colo

Association of the state. I'VE must
construct today not the temporary
road which is the most expensive road
in the end to build, but we must make
our highways permanent, hard-sur-
faced roads wherever that is neces-
sary. In order to construct such
roads, and also in order that we may
secure aid from the Federal govern
ment in building better highways. ii
is necessary that Colorado have more
funds for road building. The meas
Legislature will afford the means to
carry out bigger program than ever.
ALREADY we have been in touch
with the various commercial bodies of
the state as well as with the county
commissioners in regard to this work
In the many years that l have been
interested in road work in this state.
have never seen such an unanimous
sentiment for better roads. and feel
that row the work of years is going
to bear fruit There is no state in
the Union but that today is preparing
for an enlarged program OF good road
construction. and Colorado must GER
tainly take the steps needed at once
in order that the proper funds for this
work may be at hand. believe that
the members of the incoming Legis-
lature will make wise provision for
this need. and l am sure that the con-
vention OF road enthusiasts which will
be held in January in Denver. will be
one of the most representative we
have lad in this state for some time =

Every fire insurance agent in Colo

This means that the insurance

actly alike. Each blank bears a

word "Unifornity.'' enclosed in dia-
mond-shaped box. and If the blank is

number OF business houses use their
own especially printed forms These
may be used under the new order of
things. but must first be approved
by the associations management at
Denver.
Heretofore each company prepared
its own forms and they varied consid-
erably. The new plan not only gives
uniformity to all fire insurance poll
cies. no matter by what company is
sued but also represents an economic
saving. because II is much cheaper to
prepare and print several hundred
different forms exactly alike than IL
they each differed in some particular
detail. For years the FIRE companies
have been simplifying their forms and
eliminating technicalities. This is
necessary because FIRE insurance Is
written by msny men of many minds
and errors are likely TO creep in II
the forms are not of the simplest
character But a FIRE insurance policy
in these days is promise to pay IL
the insured sustains loss and poll
cies are just about fool proof.
Very few people know the procedure
in writing n fire Insurance policy. Let
us give an example of how the insur-
ance was written on the Records new
linotype when IL was installed about
a year ago. The Record uses its
own specially printed forms. II was
decided what agents were to have the
business and each of them was sup
piled with these forms and instructed
as to the amount Of insurance desired.
Each agent to write Q policy on the
new machine sent a copy OF that pol
Icy to the Rocky Mountain Fire un-
dcrwriters' Association In Denver.
That copy of the policy was Inspected
every detail the agent writing Il was
sent correction slip" with direc-
tons for remedying the error and
must attach an Endorsement to the
policy correcting the error. Under
this system IL is difficult for a seri-
Gus error to pass unobserved. When
man buys flre insurance policy
from an agency he Is about as sure Of
protection as human agency can make
him. There is not company operat.
ing through the association that
would night a claim on a tcchnicaiity.
On the other hand. about the only
reason for an insurance company's q
declining TO pay n claim would be the
practice OF downright fraud by the in.
