Big Wind
Monday Night

One of the heaviest winds expert
enced in the Canon City district for
months swept over the community
Monday night, beginning at about IL
o'clock and continuing for several
hours. The damage was compare
lively light, although it was believed
by many people al the time that the
consequences would be serious.
About the only destruction resulting
from 1t as far as we have been able
to learn was the blowing off of one Of
the ehimneys of the court house. the
breaking of a few branches from the
trees in the residence portion Of the
town, the overturning of several
fiimsy outbuildings and the leveling OF
a number OF fences. There was no
loss in the business section of the
city.
Contrary 10 the rule at this season
of the year the wind brought in Its
wake a falling temperature, despite
the general prediction that it would
prove to be a harbinger of cold
weather. The thermometer al s
o'clock this morning was several de-
grees lower than at the corresponding
hour on Monday

THIEVES N AXE
ANOTHER HAUL

STORE Y0RBED
Jones' Busxeorner Robbed
of $500 IN Cash-MOney
Accidentally Left out of
Safe

Thieves broke a window on the
Eighth street side Of Jones' Busy
Corner" store Friday night and with
out getting inside the building stole
5000 in cash, which had been left in
money sacks on the table of an add
ing machine inside the office. One
OF the sacks contained rs or so sill
yer dollars and the other $40 or $50 in
bills, besides a considerable quantity
Of small change.
The money had been inadvertently
left in the sacks when the store was
closed Friday night, and were in plain
sight Of pedestrians passing along the
Eighth street side of the building. A
portion of the glass in the window
was broken and a wire or stick OF
some kind was thrust through the
hole that had been created, and the
adding machine drawn up TO the win
daw, after which it was easy to reach
in and take the money.
Maurice Jones was in the office un-
til about Z o'clock looking after the
business affairs of the day, and on
leaving forget 10 put the money in
the safe for the night The robbery
was the result. Whether the thieves
saw 3Ir Jones cave the money sacks
on the adding machine, or discovered
them there later in the night, is IN
known.
The robbery was reported to the
police this morning, but as there Is
no clue as to the identity of the rob
bers, there appears little likelihood
OF the recovery OF any of the loot.

Oak Creek Road To

for their work and interest in the

have been planning this improvement
for some time, but the work was has
tened several weeks ago when a re-
quest was made to the Chamber OF
Commerce through Mr.. Slusser of the
Terrible mine at Ilse, that the road
be put in better condition so it could
be used for the transportation OF sup
plies and ore TO and from the mine.
From the city limits of Rockvale

way has been graded and leveled up,

TO travel over it, compared with its
condition when the committee made
their trip.
For several months Mr.. McCand-

the roads between Florence and the
coal camps, also between Rockvale-

The Coal Creek road has been

Delta BUSINESS
men DEMAND TO
CARRY THE HOME
Canned GOODS
Colorado Packing Corpora
ton find home folks like
high quality, too.

Following the Delta policy of sell
home-canned products at home, just
recently the Colorado Packing Cor
poration offered their lines TO the To-
cal merchants, and were surprised
and pleased with the hearty response
and the orders received In fact, SO
general was the response that il will
soon be possible to buy home-canned
goods in practically every store in
town. Some of the merchants placed
immediate orders and other signifed
their intention of ordering just as
soon as present lines were sold out.
The Colorado Packing Corporation
puts out five brands: Suprema.
Green Hill. Sky Line. Royal Gorge
and Colodado.
Among the fruits and vegetables
they can are: Cherries, gooseberries.
rhubarb. pears. black raspberries, ap-
pies, peaches, apricots, apple butter,
peach butter. plum butter, grape but
ter, cherry juice, stringless beans, To-
matoes, tomato catsup, tomato puree,
sterilized sweet cider. pure cider vim
egar.
Canon City housewives can be as
sured Of high quality canned goods n
any Of these brands Of fruits and veg
etables.
When a committee Of Delta mer-
chants went to the executives of the
Colorado Packing Corporation and
told them hey wanted to sell home
canned goods in their stores. they
started something that has spread not
only throughout the territory around
Delta. but the Western slope gen
orally. Carload after carload Of the
high quality of fruit and products put
up by the Colorado Packing Corpora
ton are being sold through the re-
tailers, on the Western slope 10 the
housewives, SO that in Delta and the
other towns the housewife purchases
high quality canned goods put up at
home, the conditions under which II
was put up she knows thoroughly
The merchants of Delta, Hotchkiss
and other towns in that vicinity put
on an advertising campaign. urging &
the housewife to buy home-canned
products with the result that the
home-canned products, the majority
of which are put up by the Colorado
Packing Corporation. enjoy remark
able demand.
Because Of the wonderful demand
for their goods by jobbers through
out the nation, the Colorado Packing
Corporation has been devoting but
little attention to the local market
in the towns in which its plants are
located. The management did not
realize fully that the home people
would buy, use and enjoy their prod
ucts Just as much as the people of
the Middle West, the Southwest and
the East, until the ipsistent demand
Of the Delta merchants brought the
matter TO mind.

Legend OF Christmas
Stocking Dates Back
To Wealthy St. Nick

The custom OF banging up our stock
ings at Christmas goes back to leg
end of the fourth century, Those
were the days of the archbishop of
Myra, whom we know as ST. Nicholas,
the patron of children. 1t is said that
he inherited great wealth and gave
lavishly.
One day ST. Nicholas learned that
a certain nobleman was in great pow
erty and in desperate straits, because
he had no marriage portion for his
three daughters. That night the
saint went to the nobleman's house
hoping a way would open for him 10
help secretly Suddenly the moon
came out from behind cloud and
showed him an open window to a
room in which the nobleman and his
daughters were setting. He threw
his purse through the window and
fed. The second night he came
again and threw a purse for the sec
ond daughter into the window. The
third night the nobleman hid himself
and when st. Nicholas came near the
window he grasped his robe and cried,
''Oh, Nicholas, servant OF Good, Why
Geek TO hide thyself" Then the
saint made the .nobleman promise
that he would tell no one OF his gen
erous gift.
From this incident in the life of 81.
Niohoa as the practice has grown of
older people secretly giving little gifts
to their young relatives and friends.
Usually there are sweets or bonbons
hidden in the shoe or stocking where
they must be discovered the first
thing in the morning.

used to hang their stockings on the
door Of the abbess with a note asking
