into the league last Tuesday. On ac-
count of bad weather the outside In
itiation that had been planned. was
dropped and the initiation was con-
fined to few inside stunts. Charles
McDonough was unable to come on
account of basketball practice. Carl
Menzel was voted into the league and
will be initiated at the next meeting.
The program consisted of a short
talk by each of the new members,
and debate on the question: Re
solved. That Canon City should
build a new high school rather than
make additions to the old one"
The arguments of the affirmative,
composed of Carl Funderburk and
Kirk Jameson, we're based on public
demand and necessity for a new high
school and the impracticability OF re-
pairing the old one.
The negative composed of Ross
Middlemiss and Francis .aorrison.
made their points on the great cost
OF a new building. lack of a suitable
building site and adversity of condI-
tions in Canon City to the undertak-

(By Theodore Wade.)

James T. Collins, Jr., had been
waiting for Christmas since Thanks
giving Mr.. Curtis, his father, find
ing it necessary, after long exertion,
to spend several months at sea level,
decided to take Jimmy and his mother
with him, and go to Honolulu. So
he arranged for passage on the great
ship, "Chang Hi" The boat sailed
This fact was greatly resented by
Jimmy until he was told that Santa
Claus could go to boat as well as
any where else.
AT about the first first of December
he had written Santa Claus his usual
letter, but this time he wanted espe-
cially a boat, and one that would run
in the water, and not just on the floor,
as did the boat of his next door
neighbor, George Thornton. The
more he thought about it the more
he felt that he really needed" a
boat to have any pleasure from life
at all.
On the long trip to the coast he
talked of his first boat as much as
anything. 1t ought to be a black
and white boat with red smoke
stack. When they boarded the ferry
to cross San Francisco may, he was
very much fascinated by the large tilt
beams which pumped up and down
like see-saw, turning the great pad
die wheels which drove the other
ferry boats across the harbor. Ar
irving as they did about sunset. the
wind was cold and blew into their
faces until they went and stood be-
hind kind of a big wall or wind
shield made of panes of glass
Two days later they boarded the
schip Chang HI" for Honolulu. Lit
tie Jimmy had not been allowed to eat
any sweets or too much of anythink
for several days to prevent his being
seasick, if possible.
That night storm came upon
them and drove their vessel from its
course. The ship that night tossed
and rocked violently The storm be-
gan to subside with the coming of
dawn, but it did not clear up. There
was a fog over things. AT about 3
or o'clock in the afternoon every
one on board was frightened by an
awful grinding and sudden shock.
The ship had struck sand it was soon
learned. The S. o. S. was answered
by ship about 40 miles distant. The
wireless operator of the Chang H."
after giving his exact location. stated
that the ship was beating itself to
pieces on the sands, unable to pull,
because of the force with which they
had struck.
The fog began to lift about the time
he ship struck the bottom. The peo-
Pile forgot their games and the Christ
mas decoration. Everyone was anx-
ious. There was no supper that
night, for it would not have been
touched If there had been.
Finally the captain ordered the
oeople into the lifeboats, but hardly
dared to lower them into the beating
surf lest they should be dashed to
pieces.
Jimmy asked his mother II she
thought Santa Claus would forget TO
come and bring his boat. She replied
she hoped not, and hugged him tight,
as they packed in the lifeboat with
many others, the most OF whom were
quite gloomy.
Suddenly a shout of joy was heard.
The lights of the ship could be seen.
Jimmy looked up and shouted: "Oh,
mamma, there is Santa Claus with
my boat"
And now when Jimmy thinks of
Christmas he thinks of more than you
think Of

PEOPLE TO VOTE
ON CODE LAW At
FALL ELECTION
Referendum Ordered by Su-
preme Court-Must Give
Way Meantime to
Old System.

Lincoln> Neb., March 12.-(Spe-
cial. 1.-The state supreme court up
held today the legality of referendum
petitions on the civil administrative
code law, by which the 1919 legisla-
ture undertook to reorganize the
executive department of the state
government.
The decision means that the people
will vote next fall on the question
of whether or not they wish to ap-
prove the act, which established six
secretaries appointive by the COVER
nor as executive officers in place Of
a series of boards composed of vari-
Gus elected state officers. In the
meantime, under past practice and
understanding of the law, the act. is
not operative and the officers who as
sumed posts last September under
its presumed authority must give
way to a restoration of the old sys-
tenn.
The ruling precipitates most seri-
Gus questions Of reorganization and
involves the validity of scores of
important acts of officers appointed
and holding authority under the law
which is now declared imperative.
Governor McKelvie, the original
champion OF the administrative code
in Nebraska, by whose influence it
gained legislative favor, was mani
testify surprised by the courts rul-
ing.
In a statement issued at noon,
the governor declared that "the ef-
feet of the decision will be so far
reaching that I cannot enumerate
now the many things that must be
done to meet it." Neither the gov
ernor nor Attorney General Davis
indicated whether they will concede
the restoration of the old govern
mental system or undertake a fur
ther court fight to sustain the opera
ton of the code law.
