Belgian Relief s1Os.54

The Belgian Relief Committee, of
the Parent-Teacher Association, scor-
ed another great success in their
flower sale Saturday, surprising even
their fondest expectations. We real
lied thru flower sales the sum
of $195.79, and later gift run il to
S19S.54.
Thank you, everybody. The ladies
everyone who so kindly donated their
flowers, the young ladies and girls
who made such eloquent pleas to
you, not forgetting the boys, and you
who bought the flowers, enabling us
to send the full amount asked of us.
We can be happier to know that we
are feeding two hundred children
for ten days-or two thousand for
one day, Ordway's heart is in the
right place.

School Building
Fire Total Loss

Fire of unknown origin completely
burned the Ordway high school build
ing shortly after midnight on Friday
of last week. There is nothing re-
naming of the building except the
brick walls, the loss being total.
The fire was discovered at about 1
o'clock shooting up from the base
ment in the coal storage room in the
west wing. and as it had such head
way the chance of saving it was seen
to be very slim. The blaze was soon
to the second floor and from there
spread out in all directions. Within
a couple of hours the whole structure
was a complete wreck. Insurance on
the building amounted to $4,000
which does not cover the loss by sew
eral thousands of dollars.
The fire was at first thought to
have occurred from coal combustion
but that theory is set aside as had
the coal taken fire in this way there
would have been an explosion which
did not occur, nor did the coal burn
as it would have had 1t been a case
of combustion. The boiler went thru
the fire safely, no explosion having
taken place as was also at first
thought.
Arrangements are being made to
provide school rooms for all the
grades and the high school and school
will open Oct. IA, under as good
a condition as it is possible owing
to the circumstances.

FROM JOHN HORNBACK

John Hornback, one of the Ordway
boys of the American Expenditionary
forces in France, is now driving
locomotive. being in the engineering
service. He had been transferred SO
many times from one place to another
that he had not been getting his mail
and had not heard from home for
nine months. He took the matter up
with an American woman who is do
ing war work in France and within
a few weeks she had things straight
ened up and his mail delivered. This
woman wrote to Johns mother, Mrs.
NJ. s. Hornback. of this city, and she
stated that she had seen John and
told him she would aid in the delivery
of his mail. She wrote in part as
follows:
"Your son is feeling and looking
the picture of health but was a little
bit homesick at not being able to get
any mail-but we are all homesick a
little over here. He has been at the
front for some time but now is driving
locomotive and l think this will be
his work now"
Mrs. Hornback has been receiving
Johns letters and extracts from two
or three of the recent letters are as
follows. one showing that he had at
last received letters from home"
Dear Mother and Sister:
l have just received a letter from
you, also one from the woman who
had taken upon herself the task of the
delivery of my mail and / surely was
glad to hear from you. | am feeling
good but have to work for from "a
to 40 hours at a stretch before we
get rest.
II don't think that we will be home
by Christmas even If the things at the
front do look good. 1t was too bad

The things are simply awful"

in his letter and one, under the head
ing "In the Engineers" is herewith
reproduced:
