The sage waved his hand, and the
whiskers were there. The Clam strok-

gone. He had scarcely begun to show
off, however. when a fisherman came
along and scooped him up and, after
taking a long look at him. said:
"lf he was a Clam ia chuck him

proceeding to draw water to drown his

More Houses Needed

The most crying need in Ordway
just at present is more houses. Rooms
both for sleeping quarters and for
light housekeeping are also entirely
inadequate to meet the demand. At
the present time it is almost impos
sihle to secure single room and we
are daily asked If we know of any
rooms suitable for light housekeeping
or sleeping quarters.
or course, this may be very tlatter-
ing to our civic pride as indicating
that Ordway is on the boom and is
growing rapidly. but it does not show
good Judgment on the part of invest
ors or relieve the feelings of those who
are seeking housing.
What is needed here is someone
who has money and will build "A num-
Der of small cottages OF three, four or
five rooms that can be rented at a
moderate price. Until such conditions
obtain many seeking to locate here
will go elsewhere. We also need more
store rooms, and above all else we
need an apartment house where single
men can obtain comfortable quarters
at Il moderate price, including service
and heat.
Who will start this good work?

"Christmas Is Coming

that we privately detest, and then
swear we never, never will do it again.
Then, too the county newspapers
blossom out in Autographed covers of
seventeen riotous colors depicting
good old Santa Claus coming across in
an airship with an impossible bunch
of junk for the children.
All OF which reminds US that now
is the accepted time to repeat that
old, time worn advice to "do your
shopping early" 1t also occurs to US
that the merchants will soon have to
begin getting busy with their holi-

pony up the annual tax of SO for the
glorious privilege Of being an Amcri-

shot at during war times. If you are
between the ages mentioned and are
not exempt because of physical dis
abilities or other lawful reasons you
are liable to this tax and the law can
take about anything you have under
garnishce or other proceedings and
you will likewise have to pay the costs

hectic and fevcrish assertions, that
that place has /, 200 inhabitants, is the
largest and most rapidly growing

ice plant in Crowley. Barring the
facts that we also have an ice plant
in Ordway, that Sugar town has only
about 700 bona tidc inabitants, that
it Is the second town in size in the
county and that its rate of growth as
