Sunday Closing

An effort Is being made Throughout
the country for Sunday rest for post.
men and eliminating unnecessary
mail service on Sunday. The post
Office department announces: "There
Is a strong sentiment for Sunday rest
for postmen and closing postotiiccs
and this sentiment should be re-
spected. Postmen are undoubtedly
entitled to one day Of rest in seven.
With the growing use OF the special
delivery stamps urgent messages are
not sent by ordinary mail, and it Is
ascertained that calling at the post
office on Sunday Is from habit, largely,
not from necessity"
Larger and smaller offices under all
conditions have been closed on Sun
day, and the plan has SO far met the
approval OF the postal authorities that
they have announced their willingness
and desire to close all offices. so far as
possible, where the people will cooper
ate. Twenty-Five OF the forty largest
cities OF the country are closed on Sun
day, and practically all towns and
cities are making efforts for the Sunday
closing policy.
The movement began with the Clos
ing of the Colorado Springs office July
10 of last year. Rocky Ford was
close second. Denver, Canon City,
Detroit, Emporia, Fort Collins and
Grand Junction soon followed. Later
New York, Chicago, Brooklyn. san
Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Clcvc
land and the smaller towns through
out the country sent in petitions ana
the closing order was sent.
The Lords Day alliance has led this
movement. Rev. j. p. Hutchinson Of
Colorado Springs, field secretary for
the west, spoke on this subject in the
union meeting in the NJ. E. church
Sunday evening and in the Sugar City
NJ. E. church Sunday morning. Pcti,
tions for Sunday closing were pre-
sented at both places. No radical
change in the transportation or dclIv-
cry of mail is contemplated and abs
lutte necessities are provided for. The
policy seems to meet approval gcn'r-
ally. In Grand Rapids, Mich, 23.ooO
cards were sent out asking opinions
Of the Sunday closing policy, of which
1920 we're returned favoring and
only l2 opposing Sunday closing. II
Stamford, Conn.,. 5,294 reported i'll
favor and II opposed to the Sunday
closing policy.

SOME FAST BALL
Ordway Loses Two Games
Out of Three but Gives
Visitors Hard Run
For Their Money

For the second time only during the
present season, the Ordway team was
defeated last Sunday In Il game which,
except for the seventh inning. was Of
big league calibcr. An error by one
of our fielders In the second inning let
in two scores, and II It had not been
for this Ordway would have won the
game hands down. In the seventh
both pitchers went up In the air and
each team scored four runs. The Ber.
nards are certainly fast team and
played good ball, but we are firmly of
the opinion that the Ordways are their
masters and that when the two teams
meet In Rocky Ford later our boys
will demonstrate this fact.
There was considerable turbulence
during the game. both among the
players and the spectators, and this
the management intends to suppress
in the future II the unruly ones have
to be ejestcd from the grounds.

cal details necessary as to the result

A Plucky Catcher

George Maxwell and wife came over
from Rocky Ford In their machine on
the Fourth to witness the ball games
and furnish transportation for their
son, who caught for Ordway In the
morning game and met with an acci-
dent which will put him on the bench
for few weeks. One OF his fingers
received the full force OF pitched
ball and was badly lacerated. He tin-
ished catching the game, nevertheless
and was checred by the audience.

Needed Improvement

One thing that Ordway needs and
needs badly Is some sort OF library
and reading room where people may
go and spend an idle hour prohtably In
stead Of being compelled either to
stay at home or loaf around on the
streets or In business places as at
present. The expense would not be
great and the place would be largely
patronized, especially during the long
evenings of winter. There are vast
number Of magazines and periodicals
purchased weekly and monthly here
and these might, after being read in
the home circle, be turned over to the
reading room, and we have no doubt
that II the room were once established
liberal donations of books would be
made to it and that In a comparative
ly short time the library would be we'll
stocked. Let our people look into this
subject now and thus by next winter,
when so many OF our young men and
women especially will have a great deal
of leisure time in the evenings there
will be some place provided where
they may profitably spend portion OF
their time. 1t would also be a conven.
lent place for strangers and those liv-
ing In boarding houses and hotels to
while away an hour or so. Who will
be the first Of our public spirited citi-
zens to take hold OF this movement?
The Ordway new era., 1911-07-07
A Suggestion

We invite the attention of the city
council to the condition of the ground
between the Missouri Pacific tracks
and Railroad park. The present crop
Of weeds, old tin cans and other brica-
brac is not conducive to the favorable
opinion Of the travelling public or
strangers within our gates. The un-
slightly weeds around town might also
with profit be placed In limbo.
