Ordway Is On
The Big Map
Autoists Displaying Pennants With
the Name Are, Asked Many
Questions.

Ordway is on the map. And more
than that, people outside of Colorado
know it. Mr.. and Mrs. James Lock-
hart and their son, James +. Lock-
hart, returned this week from Kansas
City and report that while driving
thru Kansas more than a dozen per-
sons, at as many points, hailed them
to inquire about people, crops or con-
ditions generally in or about Ord
way.
Several of those who inquired
about Ordway expressed themselves
as interested in the country surround
ing Ordway because Of favorable re-
ports they had heard of the Ordway
district" said Mr.. Lockheart. -Four
of these persons stated that they con-
templated settling in Colorado. 9th
ers were particularly interested in
melon and other crops hereabouts. At
Council Grove, Kans. number Of
persons inquired about friends and
relatives who live In or near Ordway."
Mr.. Lockhart reports that Kansas
crops, particularly in the eastern part
of the state look decidedly favorable,
while those in the west are by no
means poor. Thruout eastern Kansas
he says there have been sufficient
rains to make prospects for corn
favorable. The roads east are in
good condition for driving, according
to Mr.. Lockhart's report, tho along
the more popular highways there is
considerable dust, due to the great
amount of automobile tourist travel.
The number Of automobiles per-
son meets on the highways is a good

Good Melons
The Prediction
Qua ity and Acreage Yield Are. Bid
ding Fair to Guido Prev
iouS Years.

Cantaloupes in every portion of
this district are doing well and there
will. in all probability, be some ex-
cellent acreage yields made again this
year. With the prospects for a good
sized crop and the favorable outlook
for a market the cantaloupe growers
are feeling good. Some melons will
be ripe by the 18th bat car lot ship
ments will not be on before the zOtn.
Growers who are members of the
Crowley County Cantaloupe associa-
ton are anticipating good season
and believe their new system Of
marketing will prove profitable. These
growers have about 175 acres of mel
ons and among some of the good fields
is that of Clyde Ford. He has eight
cen acres which are fine to say the
least. 1t is estimated that they will
go thousand crates to the acre. and
will also be choice in variety.
These growers are making prepara-
tions to give quality of melons first
consideration. The packing will be
done at the sheds, the melons to be
delivered there in bulk. This will
make it possible for every melon
shipped, so these growers claim, to
be inspected in way that will as
sure first grade melon reaching the
market. They will market nothing
but full slips" and hope to build
reputation on quality.

THE AUTO AND THE BUGGY.

According to latest statistics, there are at present 1,750,OOO automobiles ir use in the United States. This represents an increase from 100000 in 1909. In the latter year there were many who publicly declared that the automobile industry had about reached the zenith of it's de- velopment, and that many more ma chimes would not be in general use because of the price. Since that time, however, the price has steadily declined and the quality of output im- proved, until in some sections of the country there are more automobiles than buggies, which used to be the standby of rural folk.
 Considering the developmen nt of the, automobile industry, the reverse of th picture also must be viewed. A large number of buggy and horse drawn vehicle factdries have been driven to the wall. Many of these factories were in towns depending uLon them for good bit of their prosperity in the wages they dis tributed. tributed. Ten or fifteen years ago the buggy industry was scattered throughout the country in many scores of prosperous towns; today big dent has been put in that Industry and what has taken its place -the automobile industry-is largely concentrated in 9 few large cities.
 The enornity of the automobile in drstry is something wonderful to be- held, and with it the good old fash toned buggy has about gone the way of clipper ships and the wooden sail ing Hliner" of a bygone day.

Alkali in Soap
 Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, If you want to keep your hair looking it's best. Most soaps and prepared sham- poos contain too much allali. This dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsi6ed. cocoanat oil (which is pure and greaseiess), and is better than the most expensive soap or any, thing else you can use.
 One or two tcaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply 1noisten the hair with water and rub, it in. 1t makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, 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, fufy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months.

HUY TRADING IN TOWN BUILDS UP THE COUNTRY.

Every time a rural dweller in- |dulges in mail-crder buying of goods
 that he can get an town. just as cheaply and much quicker, he harms This own interests.
 Mail-order buying tears down the town. Or, if it is new town, it pre- vents 1t from building up. The less of a town there is within trading radius, the less the land is
 worth. The fewer and poorer are the schools. The poorer the roads. The poorer everything.
 Those living in the rural districts like to be near good schools, good churches. have good roads, and be near a good town. They like to see their land increase in value by being close to a live town.
 But it is useless for them to hope for any of these things if they insist CD sending their money away to build up some distant large city instead of building up their own neighbor- hood.
 Some men living along the rural
 routes really abuse the postal priyi-
 lcges by sending away for every con Iceiveable necessity, things that they II
 can just as we'll buy in the nearest town. Then she same men will com plain bitterly that they are at a, dis
 advantage because they can't livt
 near a good trading center! l Whether or not town is a gooi
 place to go to remains altogether
 with the inhabitants near that city
 If they are loyal to it and refuse tt
 send away for anything they car
 purchase there, they build up theil
 own nests as we'll as those of th' ltown. s4 @
 i To have good roads, good schools l good bridges and other good improve lnents requires taxes. And the les wealth there is in county, the les ,l taxes there are to collect. And tn I less taxes, the less improvements. ,| Don't have your nose knocked of ,l to spite your face. It doesn't worl l Don't send 2 dollar away that shoul lremain in circulation at home.
