Work Is Commendable

The New Era this week was
edited by the pupils of the Ord
way high school and the Eighth
grade. They are to be commend
ed in the work they have done
the past week in getting out" a
newspaper. 1t has been added
experience for them and they in
dividually seemed to enjoy the
work.
Miss Nellie Trainor was the
managing editor. At the heads
of the various departments into
which they divided their work at
their own dictates were the fol-
lowing:
Ruth Henderson, city news ed
itor.
Wesley Sewers, sporting ed
itor.
Frances Bass, society editor.
Lidas Bollacker, agricultural
editor.
These editors had as their staff
of assistants and reporters the
other pupils of the various grades
and while it was quite an
undertaking, especially so when
they had to keep up their regular
school work, they have done ex-
ceedingly well. An undertaking
of this kind is a new one, but is
worth the effort and next year
when the same grades of the
school take up the work for a
week they will profit by the ex-
perience they gained this week.
Next winter the schools will have
a week set aside for the same
purpose and knowing that it is to
come the pupils will be more in
readiness. They can be prepar-
ing and outlining their work suf-
ficiently in advance to make it a
work of even more pleasure and
of a nature which will give them
even more experience than they
could possibly derive this time.
They have made an excellent be-
ginning and are to be commend
ed in their work.

When corsets We're Discarded.

Twice in their history have corsets
been discarded or rendered negligible.
In the seventeenth century. when
whalebone corsets were quite the rage,
Spain. Italy and the Netherlands, as II
surfeited OF such fashion. adopted a
new standard Of beauty. Full forms
and rounded busts called for no arti-
ficial support. and the style of gowns
was so altered as to meet this change.

Beautifying the Town

Our town needs many improve.
ments which some Of US ~ citizens do
not often think of. Ordway Is an at
tractive town, but think how much
more so 1t would be II we only took
little more interest 10 our yards.
streets. walks and town parks. One
Of the many things that might beau
tify the town Is the planting Of flow.
ers, shrubs. and murs trees in the
two .parks. As they are now they
get little praise for beauty, while
with the addition Of flowers. shrubs,
more grass and healthier trees they
would be much more inviting to
every one.
1t seems TO be the tendency of some
to let their yards 20 untouched and to
take little notice Of the way our
streets look. IL should be = matter
Of pride with every resident OF Ord
way to have neat and we'll kept
yard with no rubbish heaped up 10
the back yards, apparently out Of
view Of the passer-by, and street In
front that 10 free from paper and
trash. With only a little extra care
and labor we can make our town not
only neat and attractive but sanitary
and healthful. This once attained 1t
will not be hard TO keep It so.
As . suggestion 1t might be we'll to
have . cleanup day. A committee
should be appointed whose business IL
would be to hx this day and to nee
that every one observes IL. On such
. day the yards of the private DWELL
ings, including the school grounds. to.
gether with the streets and alleys,
should be cleared of their rubbish and
other things shat to make them un-
tidy.
Perhaps along this line few things
might be mentioned in regard to the
back yards of our local stores, butcher
shops. restaurants and hotels. While
their back yards are not seen by the
public, yet as long ~ they are used as
. dumping place for xll refuse our
town can not be called sanitary one.
The fronts Of the above mentioned
buildtngs xretnviting and help much
In advertising their stock, so why not
improve the back yard conditions so
that everything will have au up-tO-
date appearances?
We are looking forward to the erec-
tion OF new depot which we all sgree
cannot come to pass too soon. Most
travelling people uDacquainted with
the town Immediately form their
opinions OF Ord way from the appear
snce OF the depot. We a. boosters Of
Crowley county, must hurry this
building along and thus give Ord~sy
a better reputation.
Let US all put forward every effort
toward the beautifying and cleaning
up Of our town 30 that we will all be
proud that we live 10 such town as
Ordway.

When he came to the worst place

bridges, his horse comm enced sinking.
and before help could arrive, the horse
had gone in over his head and was
drowned. Only the horses ears were
visible above the mud.

USING SOAP
SPOILS THE HAIR

Soap should be used very sparing-
Iy. if at all, if you want to keep
your hair looking its best Most
soaps and prepared shampoos con-
tain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp. makes the hair brittle. and
ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), is
cheaper and better than soap or
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoon fuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. 1t makes an
abundance of rich. creamy lather.
which rinses out easily. removing
every particle of dus-. dirt, dandruf
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and it leaves the
scalp soft. and the hair fine and
silky, bright. lustrous, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, and few ounces
al supply every MILLER OF the
family for months.
