Masonic Lodge
Buys Property
Farmer Lots south Of Evangelical
Church u tho Site For Pro-
posed Masonic Temple

Ordway Lodge No. 1856. A. F. and
NJ, has purchased two lots on the
corner OF Main and Fourth streets.
The lots are those across the street
south OF the Evangelical church. and
the price paid was 5000. The deal
was made Tuesday Of this week fol-
lowing a meeting OF the lodge on
Monday night at which time the
members all signifled their desire to
purchase.
The ground will be used for the
erection Of Masonic Temple some
time in the future, possibly Within
three or four years. Such a building
rs will be erected will be a most
creditable business block with the
entire second floor for lodge purpos-
es. 1t will add materially to the
city's improvements and will doubt
less be instrumental in causing others
TO build on Main street between
Third and Fourth streets.
Ordway's lodge has more than six
ty members and there are a large
number OF Masons residing in the
county who have their memberships
in lodges where they camc from. The
fact that the local lodge has grown
so rapidly and the town has made
such rapid and substantial growth
made It advisable to buy at this time
rather than wait until building
was to be erected and then purchase
the ground.

TEN YEARS AGO

A game of ball played in Ordway
10 years ago last Sunday was re-
corded as being remarkable only for
the accidents occurring. In the first
place the grandstand collapsed. Later
one of the members of the visiting
team was hit by ball and put out
of commission, then before the end
another player caught fire. but none
of the accidents were very serious.
Ten years ago an ordinance was
under course of legal publication
granting Bornschein Brothers an
electric lighting franchise.
This vicinity was visited by a hail
storm ten years ago Wednesday and
the account of the storm stated that
the hail stones were the size of "sil-
yer quarters. II they were the size
of what "silver quarter" buys these
days the hail would be too small to
do any damage.
A notice in The New Era ten years
ago reads as follows: mo meals will
be served at the Ber endo hotel July
4, except to regular boarders." Well
that's not so bad for this Fourth, the
Berendo will probably serve no meals
whatever.
house was advertised 10 years
ago as being "close in" Wonder
what they called "far out" in those
days.
A news item ten years ago said
that Ordway had come into posses
sion of new hearse. the property OF
J. L. Murray. Evidently as soon as
things commenced to liven up ar
rangements were made to care for
the dead.

The lady had heard a stranger in q
railway carriage say that If any man
could see himself intoxicated he would
never be intoxicated again, and, hav-
ing a husband addicted to alcoholism,
and also plenty Of money, she thought
Of experimenting. The kinematograph
operator whom she engaged was not
kept waiting long for an opportunity
of filming the Grant husband, and in
the presence Of relations the subject
was privileged to behold himself on
the screen. He was very quiet through
out, and gravely left the room, which
the others thought good sign. Find
ing he had also left the house, his
brother set out to find him, running
him to earth eventually in the club,
busy-as an attendant stated-with
his fifteenth cocktail.

sition, he keeps his shoulders to the
guide 1.-THE man on the right front Of
the line or column, and also he SO
regulates his steps that the rank re-
mains parallel to Its original front.
"Incline to the right (left)" is not
a rigid movement, but the execution Of
the command Is left to the discretion
Of the company guide. 1t Is usually
given to avoid an obstacle which pro-
trudes into the line of march.
"TO the rear MARCH" COM
pletely reverses the direction of a col
umn without bringing 1t to a pause or
halt. At the command, march"
which is given as the right foot strikes
the ground, the soldier advances and
plants the left foot; then he turns to
the right about on the balls of both
feet and Immediately steps off with
the left foot.
These are the basic commands Of a
soldiers fiexibility of movement, and
the recruit who learns to execute them
in unison with his fellows has taken a
decided step on the road that leads to
the accomplished soldier.

WHY SOLDIERS MUST BE FLEx
lBLE IN MOVEMENT.

Any body Of troops must be flexible
in movement, since it may be neces-
sary at any instant to change its pur-
pose or direction. While such q body,
without well-def1ned rules, would be
most cumbersome and unwieldy-if
not impossible-to handle, 1t must, in
fact, respond to commands more quick
ly and precisely than a boat to its
rudder, or an automobile to its wheel.
A column Of troops must not only
learn to turn at an exact right angle,
but, with equal celebrity, it must be
able to shift its movement in any spe-
cited direction, even to the exact re-
verse, without losing as much as a
step.
BY the commands, column right" or
'left," fright (left) turn" "by the
right (eft) flank" fright (left)
oblique," ''incline to the right Ceft),
and ITO the rear" a unit may at once
be able to switch direction toward
any desired objective.
When a company is in column Of
squads, that is, four men abreast, to
change direction the command "col-
umn right (left) march" is given, and
at the word "march," the head Of the
column turns sharply, at right angle
in the specified direction. This is done
on what is called a moving pivot,
which will later be explained in the
school Of the squad. Fright (eft)
turn" Is executed when a company Is
in line, that is, f1fty-six men abreast,
and the line also turns on a moving
pivot to right or left, as the case may
be. Fright turn" is executed by
squad as well as company.
"By the right (left) flank" is exc
cuted, as with all movements, at the
command march" This command is
given as the right foot strikes the
ground. The soldier promptly turns
to the right on the balls Of both feet
and Immediately steps off in that d.
rection with the left foot.

GIVEN.
The execution of q command de
ponds a great deal upon the way In
which it is given. While it is true
that green soldiers may not be able tc
execute in a clean-cut way command
which has been properly given, even
veteran troops will become slipshod II
Il command is mumbled or drawled in
a spiritless fashion by their command.
err. This would be the fault of the Off.
Ger, for the work of soldier Is a
credit to, or reflection upon, the abil.
ity of his officer. Nevertheless, if sol
der will not apply his intelligence and
responsiveness to the words he hears
Elm short, If he goes to sleep on his
feet-then the best officer in the world
cannot make real soldier Of him.
Every command is divided into two
parts, or, into two separate commands.
The first is called the preparatory
command-the second the command of
execution.
The preparatory command is intend
ed to inform the soldier of the move
ment which Is to be executed. 1t should
be given with rising infection, for 1t
not only should inform the soldier, but
it should bring his faculties to Roise
ready for instant response to the Sec
ond half Of the command, or the CON-
mand of execution.
The rising reflection has the effect
of balancing the soldier-psychologic-
ally-on the edge Of the movement.
Yet he must not witch muscle, on
receiving it. The whole movement Is
damaged IL one soldier anticipates the
command of execution or even exhibits
nervous shiftings Of the hands and
feet. WAGE
The command Of execution is given
at the precise instant the movement is
to commence.
While the tone of the preparatory
command must be animated" the
command Of execution is required by
the infantry drill regulations to be
more energetic"-"fir in tone and
BRIEF" In other words and in plain,
unmilitary English, the command Of
execution must sound like q pistol shot
and authoritative in the extreme,
bringing instant obedience from the
soldier.
A short interval should always
elapse between the preparatory COM
mand and the command of execution.
In the drill regulations, the former is
printed in black italics and the latter
in black capitals.
A command is given as follows:
FORWARD MARCH /" ABOUT

stances, the command is a single word,

ratory command and command of ex-
ecution. Thus, attention" is pro.

Commands, signals or orders are
the three classes Of directions given to
troops-many commands being by sig
nails. These signals may be conveyed
either by whistle, the bugle, pre-
scribed motions Of the commanding of.
ficer's arms, or by flags. An order is
only when the commands pre-
scribed do not sufficiently indicate the
will Of the commander. In other
words, commands are Of limited and
more or less rigid nature, while spe-
cial instructions to one or more men
constitute an order. This may be COM
municated either by word of mouth, in
writing, by telephone, telegraph, or by
flag signals.
