Inspected Jordon's Town

One of the boys interested in the
new town of Artesia asks MS to publish
the following, clipped from Guymon
paper
Artesia, Colorado, the new town To-
Gated in Baca county, Colorado, which
town was recently purchased by J. w.
Jordon, one of our most prominent and
wel-to-do town builders, was visitsd
last week by Mr.. Jordon, accompanied
by j. C. Shell, of the firm of Shell &
Langston, and James &. Breslin, of the
law firm of Harris & Breslin, and Rex
Powelson of the garage. They spent
several days at the new town among
the artesian wells, and left civil en-
gineer with a number of hands finish
ing the work OF laying out the town
| and to complete arrangements for the
wells to be drilled on the townsite
| Several fine flowing wells have been
struck within radius of one mile OF
the town, and while an abundance OF
excellent water could easily be obtained
from these wells for the town, Mr..
Jordon, ''who never does things by
halves" is determined to put one OF
two artesian wells on the townsite sc
that the residents will have ample
water with which to raise flowers,
gardens, and grow trees Artesia is
located on the south side of the Two
Buttes' irrigation district and is ar
ideal spot for town, having an excel
[ lent drainage. 1t is beautiful sight
to see the artesian wells, which are
only 25O to 500 feet deep sending out
several hundred gallons of water every
minute, these wells being within reach
of the poor man. The whole country
is booming and will no doubt be a com.
er. Both Mr.. She'll and Mr. Breslir
are loud in their praises of the country
and predict great things for the people
who are lucky enough to get in on the
ground floor at Artesia.

School News
(By County Superintendent),

Let there be many windows to your
soul,
That all the glory of the universe
May beautify it. Not the narrow pane
Of one poor creed can catch the radian,
rays
That shine from countless sources.
Tear away
The blinds Of super tition; let the light
! Pour through fair windows broad as
truth itself
And high as God Selected.
The following pupils in the Villas
school were hsither absent nor tardy
during the last school month: Laura,
Millard, Nathan, Ora and Rollo Amer
inc, Mary Crick and Johnnie Yokum.
II. Nj. Anderson of Stonington. was
at Springfield Saturday. to qualify for
County Superintendent of Schools, and
to spend some time in the office ac-
quainting himself with the work. His
term, according to law, began last
Tuesday, and Saturday he expects to
be in his office.
With this the retiring superintendent
terminates his work. We do not feel
like doing it without word of appre-
citation for cooperation during the six
years, especially to the teachers.
Owing to the great distance between
some of our schools there were not as
have had, and so, not the uniformity
in the work as should have been. But
where possible. there was ready accept
ance of some proposed new plans,
tors and patrons also we extend words
Of thanks for valuable co-operation in
many instances. 1t is natural that
teachers are easier enthused than di-
rectors in rural districts, but directors,
too, should be enthusiastic, and we
mention it believing that in the future,
teachers and superintendent will find it
easier to do efficient work if all direc-
tors be enthusiastic and have q realiza-
tion of the responsibilities and posi-
bilities of the directors offices. Dis
agreements and opposition were en-
countered, and mistakes made no doubt,
but we are glad to say that there was
but little abuse. And it is hoped that
no one expects an apology from us, but
rather concede motive but to promote
the interests of the schools. There was
worry, anxiety, hard work, pleasure -
genuine pleasure-because the work
brought us into contact with the youth
in u possible way to assist in their train
! ing and preparation to fulfill the pur
pose of their existence which is to dis
charge their obligations to God, tc
themselves, and to humanity. And to
find that in some way assistance was
rendered in such develodments ano
preparations for life, will be sweet sat
isfaction and compensation for the
labor. We plead for cooperation with
Mr.. Anderson, and pledge it on oui
part, wishing him successful admin
a., istration and the greatest good possible
to the schools of the county.
