the People
ON IT'S OWN FEET.
tor Pueblo C'hicftain:

HsuilOT fuCplO '-H1Cltlln.
Your vcilcd plea for tho reelection
of tho two city commissioners is
pathetic.
In your editorial of October under
the heading Not n Time TO Change
You say 1t is not the kind of govern
mcnt the people of Pueblo want. l
would advise you to rub elbows with
the rank and file of the people of this
city and You Will be convinced that
IL is just about what the people want,
or In other words they want a govern
mcnt which will represent all tho peo-
pic OF tho city and upon which respon-
sibilty can he fixed for the errors OF
commission or omission. and n govern
ment that can stand on Its own feet
without calling in any committee to
think for it.
Our city is in no worse condition this
fall to change officials than our ma
ton was last fall to make a change.
and while some people think the coun-
try has gone to the bowwows. 1t is still
doing business at the same old stand,
grandcr and better than ever before.
So IL will be with our city.
Respectfully,
]. W. HILL.

of extreme peril by the high waters In the period Of
rehabilitation the City and its officials have had a
full share in every possible way in the work that has
been done of rescue relief and reconstruction, and it
stands firmer ground than before in asking
for general support in this membership campaign
The City has the true Pueblo mark. 1t does not
before the people begging for help to it from
failure 1t is doing its work with success and it asks
the people of Pueblo to continue their support because
it is doing successfully the work established to do
for the boys ard young men of the city There is no
doubt as to the answer that should be made to such
appeal.

Parents Ard the Schools

Practically all the schools of the
country are open now for the winter
session. To too many mothers ana
fathers this means a let-up of respon-
sibility rather than call to co-opera-
ton.
How many of them will visit the
schools to see if they are better equip
ped than last year, in better sanitary
condition and so on? How many Of
those who resolved last year to keep
in closer touch with the children and
the teachers will keep that resolution
this year?
How many business men who COM
plain that schools do not fit youth
for intelligent grasp of business life
will take pains to keep in such con-
tact with them as will prove helpful
in correcting their business short
comings?
Whose are the schools, anyway?
Who gains or loses by the invest
ment in them, and so should make
sure that it pays?
Only through intelligent co-opera-
ton between the school and the
home, between teachers and parents
and taxpayers, can the school per-
form it's highest service.

The movement for the planting of
roadside trees is spreading through
out the country, and associations
have been formed in many states for
the planting of roadside trees as me-
MORALS to the heroic dead Of the
great war. Many states have adopted
the plan, and trees dedicated to war
heroes will adorn the highways, beau
tifying them and at the same time
serving as reminders of the brave
boys who made the supreme sacrifice
for their country's good. These trees
will be cared for by the Forestry
Commission of the several states, and
will be renewed in case of injury or
death. Each tree should have at its
base an iron marker bearing the
name of the hero to whom it is dedi-
Gated. Tree-planting by the roadside
should not stop when all the dead
have been honored, but thousands of
others should be planted that they
may be dedicated to other service
men who may pass over the "big di-
vide In the years to come.

 NUN BY HEDDON
Michigan Cue Artist Takes Deciding Game, 300-247.
 From Percy Collins

CLEVELAND, Feb. 15.-Charles Heddon, of Dowagiac, Mich. won the national amateur 1S.2 balkline billiard championship tonight, defeating Percy Collins of Chicago, who had held the title 300 to 247.
 Collins started out like he was go- ing to retain his title which he won in 1920.
 Heddon. who in the early rounds had missed many easy shots. suddenly regained his form and in the 18th frame he had run of 42. He con tinued to cut the Chicagoan's lead un- til the 24th inning when he tied him with run of 56
 With Heddon on even terms with him. Collins seemed to o'crack. It was not until the 31st inning when he had a run of 90, that he regained anything like his usual form and then the game looked like anybody's. But Heddon was not to be denied and runs of 61. 37 and .24 kept him in the lead

 "I am after Dempsey" he continued. They stepped out on me at New York I didn't make Dempsey and his manager put up any money for March r..

BY H. o. (PAD PAGE Former Chicago University Basket ball Coach, now of Butler


 Every player to his game, In my opinion basketball is the game of games. both to coach and to play.
 Interest has grown more in the basketball sport in the past decade than in any other form of athletics. Communities in the United States, Canada and the Orient are clamoring for coliseums to play in.
 Fills Every Niche Of course. football is the greater spectacle in the crisp autumn. Base ball bats a thousand in the good old summer time.
 But in every niche of the country basketball absorbs the interest in winter.
 Baseball is game of skill and nerves. Physical power and speed is the gist of football. Basketball com pines them all,
 Here are reasons why the loop sport tops 'em all:
 The spectator sees the game at close range.
 The spirit of play gets into the . spectator.
 More scoring makee more thrills.
 Players move faster.
 Speed, endurance and clever ness are combined with instinct.
 The player gets great personal satisfaction in shooting she bucket"
 The 2o-minute periods give the player more physical exercise than any football game and dog en baseball games.
 Passing Asset Basketball cfeverness is an asset to the player of any other game. The best forward passers in football have had basketball training. "Hoge" Workman of Ohio State. for, instance. is star court man. Brick Muller, California end, throws the pig skin like it was a baseball. Facts show that man is actually faster on the indoor court than out on the turS. Players are stimulated to
