letter to the New Era from W.O.R.
Martin. He states that in politics one
of the Democratic papers was help
ing to elect a district Judge and op-
posing the Democratic nominee all
because of woman suffrage. He did
not say which judge was for it, In
his letter he says:
"This is a fine farming and stock
raising country as well as being a
health resort and / am now feeling
fine. The main crops are cotton,
corn and broom corn. We are
having from two to three rains a
week now and old timers say that
means good crops next season. The
people are planting winter gardens.
The main fruits raised are figs, plums
grapes. oranges and grapefruit.
THE Kelly flying field is located
near and there is a landing station
at Beeville. Severa- aeroplanes are
now stuck in the mud"

SOMETHING DID HAPPEN

T. C. Estep. a former resident OF
Crowley county. but who is now at
Soldier Home. Cal, sent the New Era
a little ''toast to thA kaiser" Since
that time something has happened
to the kaiser which is almost as
good as is suggested by his 'toast," ="
which reads as follows;
Here's to the kaiser, the limberger
cheese,
May the swell in his head go down
to his knees;
May he break his damn neck on the
Hindenburg line.
And go to hell croaking the Watch
on the Rhine.

mont. to report between November
25. and December The call came
for him on the morning that news of
the armistice agreement reached here.
and while he was glad peace had
come he feard that 1t might cause a
cancellation of the order, which in a
general way. has been cancelled by
notice that all calls were to be de-
ferred until further notice. Reid was
to enter the infantry section of the
training school.
Mr.. Reid has been secretary to the
Local Board for Crowley county since
1t was organized. He had served in
the Spanish-American war and was
quite familiar with military affairs,
and together with his study of the
conscription laws he is valuable
asset to the Local Board. His call
into the officers training school was
pleasing message to him but to
have 1t deferred so soon brings him
some disappointment.

STICK TO THE JOB

The demands to be made on the
United States for food supplies dur
ing the next few months will be
greater than they have been hereto
fore. Up to the present time this
country's food suppi, mas been drawn
on for our soldiers and the people of
the allied countries. Now 1t must
keep going to these same soldiers and
these same people as well as to the
people of the conquered countries
which must be fed.
If there is food shortage In Ger
many and there is every reason to
believe there is. IL there is a food
shortage in Russia. and we know
that there is. then 1t is up to this
country, rs a humanitarian act as
well as for commercial reasons. to
see that they are not allowed to
suffer.
Some may say. Feed those Huns
who have fought us for so long, not
me-" But then did the Red Cross
nurses over in France and Italy re-
fuse to dress the wounds of the in
jured enemy soldier when he was
brought in captive. Not our Red
Cross workers. That might have been
the case with the Red Cross workers
in Germany who. 1t IS said. refused
to care for our wounded who were
prisoners on German soil, but then
our Red Cross and the German Red
Cross are different. 1t is the Good
Samaritan principles of our nation
that makes 1t a nation which has
never yet lost war.
Save food. Buy Bonds. Subscribe
to the war funds. Stick to the Job
until the last man who went overseas
has returned to our soil.

DAY OF REJOICING

Monday of this week was a day
of rejoicing and of celebration be-
cause of the news o: the delivering
of the signed armistice by the Ger
mans to Marshal Foch. The armis-
tice agreement, in this event, meant
virtually the same as peace in that
peace will result from the armistice.
When the news reached Ordway
and became known thru the business
district a move was started by some
of the merchants to have the places
of business closed for the balance
of the day and celebrate. This was
done and soon following that a mes
sage was received. at the New Era
office which carried the declaration
from Governor julius Gunter declar-
ing the day a holiday for the entire
state.

American soldiers may receive the

"In fact, each and every one of the

BISHOP ISSUES LETTER
tDenver Catholic Register,

(Denver Catholic Register.)
As the time for the inception of the
War Work Campaign for funds with
which to carry on the welfare work
for our soldiers draws near. the pre-
paratory work for the campaign
should be hastened to conclusion.
Pastors are requested to send US.
within a week, the names of the
members constituting the different
committees, as outlined in the prelim-
mary meeting October z. Perfect or
ganization of working forces makes
Tor perfection of work and that means
obtaining of great results. Religion
and Patriotism-wo mighty forces
that have shaped the history of the
world-are the powerful reasons that
urge exceptional generosity upon the
people of our country (Which may
God ever hless) in response to the
appeal made for the soldier boys. To
give freely. to give gladly, to give un-
til 1t hurts: should be the ambition of
men. women and children during the
drive. It's duty but also a sweet
privilege. since !" 'tis more blessed to
give than to receive"
We urge pastors to inspire their
people, both by word and example, to
exceptional generosity. The price of
things worth while to humanity is the
personal sacrifice of those who work
for these things. Greater cause for
the welfare of the world never ap-
pealed to man than the war in which
we are VIGOROUSLY engaged. Not the
soldier alone must be asked. or per.
mitted. to bring all the sacrifice-God
bless him. he is our pride. our Joy and
hope-but we, too, who must stay at
home, needs must eagerly seek to
place our share of the sacrifice, which
the world must pay for the blessings
to be obtained. upon the altar of i'm
notation. So sounds the cry of re-
ligion, of patriotism, of conscience.
Let no one fail to heed 1t.

THIS IS HOME

Ofall the lands and OF all the towns
of this great world Ordway Is home
to one young lad who has been at
tracted here by other than that of its
being his birthplace. for other rea-
sons evidently more binding than that
of family ties. but Just what they are
we do not know and perhaps the
young man himself would be at a
loss to point out the things which
bind him and which prompt him to
call Ordway home and to cause him
to wish to return.
This young man is Nicholas Rodes.
Born in Greece, here he lived dur
ing most of his life. he travelled
across the waters and took up his
abode in the United S;ates. He went
to night school and learned to speak
and read the English language. From
one place in this country to another
he went about and finally located in
Crowley county. which he has learned
to love and to which he longs to re-
turn. He is now in England and
when he wrote he expected soon to
be in France, but in all this world
Ordway is his home as is clearly
shown by letter to Judge Chas. c.
Woodbridge which reads:
Hello Judge: I am in England
and soon / am going over in France.
l hope we going to have success and
come back to Ordway. Please send
me Ordway papers. l like to read
home news"
Picture in your mind this young
man, born In Greece, now in England
on his way to France. with his rela-
tives possibly in Athens or some other
Greecian city, selecting Ordway as
home and longing to read home"
news. 1t more than ever makes that
little poem, "Just American" sink
deeper into ones heart. 1t was pub
lished last week but to picture this
young Grecian lad as Just Ameri-
can" it is herewith reproduced
JUST AMERICAN
Just today we CHANGED to meet
Down upon the crowded street;
And | wondered whence he came,
What was once his nations name.
So asked him, Tell me true,
Are you Pole or Russian Jew,
English, Scotch. Italian. Russian.
Belgian. Spanish, Swiss. Moravian,
Dutch or Greek or Scandinavian"
Then he raised his head on high,
As he gave me this reply:
What | was is naught to me,
In this land of Liberty;
In my soul, as man to man.

made an unsuccessful bOmbardment
with gas shells. German airplanes in
large numbers also were driven off by
the American machines and anti-lir-

Gas shells in considerable numbers
from the German guns fell within the
American sector early this morning,

masks in all parts OF the trenches for
more than three hours. One American
was injured by the exploding shell. but
so excellent has been the anti-gas

The duration OF the shelling was two
hours. but traces OF the poisonous
fumes remained for another hour after
the bOmbardment had ceased.
Visibility was good today in the

there was much aerial activity on
both sides. German airplaneS in large
numbers repeatedly attempted TO
