why Wait Till Man Is Dead To
Tell the Good Things Of His Life?,

Perhaps the biggest man in Canon
City is Joe Heavenridge He weighs
around 300 pounds. But the good
Lord had TO make MIN so big SO that
he could carry his big heart conven-
iently.
Joe. though suffering from illness
for many years has one of the hap
p;cst dispositions you can imagine. He
thinks not OF his own trouble or pain.
but always OF others. and IL money or
help or consolation is needed. Joe is
th<re always. He is as honest as the
day is long. and he is proud of the fact
that he doesn't owe a debt He is not
rich. but he has always lived In pro-
portion to his income and thus kept
his account on the right. side of the
ledger. ~
Joe was a boyhood friend OF lanes
Whitcomb Riley and also lived in
Mark Twain's town. That is proba-
bly, where he embibed his rich vein
of humor Joe isn't as active as he
used TO be, but his mind Is s1st as
busy as ever and most of his time Is
spent thinking up things to do for
others.
Not all men make a success in bust
ness at so and Tower still make much
out Of their lives at 40. So 1t is that

ord is unusual and worthy OF more
than passing note.
We have one of these men in Canon
City His name is Jesse Jones. He
was barely 81 when he found himself
the owner and head of a successful
grocery store. After he got II on a
paying basis he sold out and looked
for pastures new.
The moving picture game appealed
to him and he entered II with his
characteristic vim and energy. with
the result that at the age OF 40 he is
the guiding star of one of the prettiest
and most mcder,ly equipped theaters
In Colorado
II hasn't been al bed OF roses for
him He came close to falling once.
but with admirably persistency and
dogged determination he overcame the
handicaps and came out on top.
Although he has the movie field all
HIS own way in Canon City he doesn't
take advantage OF II. He gives the
people just as expensive and Just as
good programs as II he was bucking
a dozen other movie theaters. .'Give
the people what they want Treat

than ever. At 30 he IS a success with

The stray cats Of divers and sundry

She is lover OF all animals, but has
centered her kindly interest upon cats.
She doesn't make business OF run

care OF them when they are sick and
homeless, and exerts every effort to

brings them back to health and hap

not old maidish about II. She goes
upon the noble theory that God has

worthy of some attention and should
not be cruelty killed just because they
seemingly have no set purpose or
especial niche upon this sphere.

through the purchase of preferred stock,
a share in the ownership and the earnings

This customer ownership movement is
one of the greatest interest in these days

form of ownership and regulation of pub
lie utilities. This moveme ent started, like
many new things, in the extreme West.
1t gained great popularity there anc was

Grating in and about Chicago
AS far as can be learned, the Central
Maine Power Company was the first in
New England to make a regular cam
paign for customer and employee owner
ship. 1t has always sold much of its
preferred stock to its customers, but of
late has made special effort in this
direction and has been highly successful.
Customer ownership, the Company be-
lleves, solves many of the problems of
public utility companies. 1t gives the
customers chance to share in owner
ship and in earnings and at the same time
mutuallzes, in measure, the company.
1t retains, however, the valuable features
of private ownership
A combination of customer ownership
with employee ownership produces a Pc
culiarly satisfactory condition, and the
Company is proud that very consider
able proportion of its employees now own
or are buying stock in the Company
Practically all the Belfast employees of
the Company own or are buying its pre-

On Friday, comes the long awaited
''Romance of Tarzan," by far and away
the most novel and exciting presentment
of the adventures of the amazing ape
man that has yet been given to the
screen.
Beginning with the meeting of Tarzan
and Jane Porter, his predestined mate. il
the heart of the African iungles, whittier
the beautiful American girl has accom-.
panied her father in pursuit of his sclen"
tific studies, the drama takes its foil W.
ers on the most romantic and thrilling
journey through the land of make-believe;
that the heart could desire.
The same magnificent jungle scenery
that gave background Of unique splen-,
dor to 'Tarzan of the Apes is shown il
many of the big scenes of ''The Romance
of Tarzan," and hundreds of wild apes,
leopards, lions, tigers, huge snakes ano
man-eating crocodiles add excitement
and novelty to a number of incidents.
Perhaps the most interesting of all Tar
zan's Jungle friends, however, is Tantor,
the mammoth elephant of almost human
intelligence, who rescues Tarzan from a
war party of infuriated cannibals and
carries him in safety to the seacoast.
Also the next to the last in the series
of Vod-a-Vil will complete a most salts
