Pershing Praises
War Work of EIks

One of the most interesting stories
now going on in Eastern lodge circles
is that of how the New York Elks
took Gen. Pershing. who is himself 8
member of the order, to a moving pic
ture show. He nad peen told that
the picture was AN interesting one. bu;
nothing more about it. When ii
opened he saw that it was to be a pic
torial biography of himself.
A dispatch from New York says
that Gen. Pershing's air of embarrass-
ment at appearing in public vanished
when he carried his famous smile to
the reception given in his honor by
officials of the grand lodge of Elks,
headed by Grand Exalted Ruler Frank
l.. Rain of Fairbury. Neb.. and at
tended by a delegation from Ell Paso
lodge. where Gen. Pershing is a mem
Der, by officials of the Elks' War Re
lief Commission and several hundred
others
Mr.. Rain paid a glowing tribute to
the chief. saying the
EIks considered it cherished privi-
lege to welcome Gen. Pershing as a
brother member and "the worlds
foremost man"
Gen. Pershing. addressing his hear
ers as brother Elks." replied as fol-
lows:

Strike Shuts Down
Canon Quarries

The strike Of the steel workers at
the Minnequa plant of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company at Pueblo has
resulted in closing down the gannister
quarries here and a considerable num-
Der of men are out OF employment as
consequence. Canister is used
as finx in steel making and there is
no demand for II when the Minnequa
plant is not in operation. The calcite
auarries in the western part of the
county are also reported to be idle
because OF the steel strike. and most
of the former employees there are said
to be out of work. Thus far none of
the coal mines In this county have
been affected. and the output Of the
camps heretofore going to the Pueblo
steel works ID finding its way into gen.

GIANT STILL is
INSTALLED AND Is
NOW In OPERATION
AT THE COLPACkO
$4,000 Improvement Insures
Pure Distilled Water for the
Plant and for People.

The Jewell polar still, which the
Colorado Packing Corporation pur.
chased early in the year. has been in.
stalled under the supervision of Me-
ehanical Supt. John Bacon. The still
represents an investment of about slO.-
600. and will afford the packing plant
at all times pure aerated distilled
water for packing purposes. The ca
pacity of the still. however, is such
that large quantity is available to
the people of Canon City who want dis.
tiled water for drinking purposes.
The Colorado Packing Corporation,
since II became known that they were
to have the still, lave had many re-
quests for the water. so they have
decided 10 put on a delivery system to
any part of the city and will sell the
water in ive-gallon demijohns at so
cents for five gallons.
The Jewell polar still is acknowl-
edged to be the best system of purify
ing water and freeing ii from deliter
ious substances. The aerating fea-
ture, which injects pure, washed air
through the water takes away the fat
taste so common in distilled waters.
Polar water as a result is as pure and
sparkling and as delightful to the taste
as water could possibly be-
