The Noises of New York.

The noises of New York are so lone some, writes Josef Suez in World Out look. They make me want to go home back to Tunis, where 1t is not all machinery and I can hear the people shouting to each other and to their animals in the street. Here you can not hear the people at all. It is as if the whole city is big machine and the people all are dumb. find that very lonesome. When learn a little Eng fish and go to the stores I find them very strange. They do not bargain at all. You ask a man, "How much?" He tells you and, as in Tunis, you cry out and say, "Ah, never will I pay that; it is robbery" But what says the American storekeeper? He says, ''Then you need not buy it." You must pay what he asks or not at all. I find 1t strange to do business that way, In Africa a merchant spends hours, sometimes, bargaining with his GUS toners, and they come again, day after day, until they agree en price. But here there is no tine-hurry, hurry, all like machine.

Thanks for Two Cents

"The man that keeps the news stand where I buy my papers," said MT. Blinkington, "always says Thank you' when I put down my two cents.
 ''He doesn't say this humbly, nor loudly, nor perfunctcrily, but just sim ply and quietly and naturally, as if he meant 1t, which I have no doubt he does. He likes to have people come and trade with him and he tries to make things pleasant for them, and people like to trade with him.
 q don't doubt that he has doubled his business just by being polite to people and meaning 1t. Everybody likes to be treated with courtesy"

MARSH WANTS WAR HOUSING
 STOPPED NOW
Leading Builder Declares New Houses Will Not Be Needed When Peace
 Basis Arrives.

Charles B. Marsh, the well known builder, is among those who are op- posed to @ continuation of the war housing program. GIr. Marsh asserts that the houses will not be needed when the peace basis is reached.
 Prior ts the beginning of the European war there were 5000 vacant rents in Bridgeport.
 "When Uni+nd States broke with Germany, u { builders were facing four condidtCAs: First, the savings banks were making no loans on real estate, causing a great money short age. Second, unskiIled labor was very scarce owing to the Allied mundtion work. Third, the market on building materials of all kinds was rising rap idly, forcing the builder if he accepted l contracts to do so against market that was certain to wipe out his profits before his job was completed. l Fourth, rents were very scarce and 1 high owing to the unprecedented in- 1 fiux of muniion workers on Allied : work
 What cid the local builders do? 1 They did exactly as every good Amer { acan in our country did They stood by their guns although handicapped in every possible way They did every thing they possibly could to provide houses for the intuition workers. I T know I am correct and the state ment subject to proof when I say that I the builders of Bridgeport on their 1 strictly building project have not made ! a dollar during the war and many cd them have lost money
 "The Government( in it's war hous- ing program, let the contract to out of town builders who brought a large number of out of town workers to Oul city and they occupied the houses we had provided for munition workers.
 Not one tenement was completed by the U. s. Housing Corporation a the time the war ended, so at least the local builders should be credited witt doing all that was done to relieve the situation.
 We are not complaining at an! building the Government thought bes to do as war measure, anything tC help win the war. But 1t was a wa measure and we submit that for tn, U. S. Housing Corporation to continu, to excayate cellars and start new pro JSCtS IS dDSOIuIely wrong.
 Take the Crane lot project for in stance where only two cellars wert built when the war ended
 ',Ihe war iS over. When Bridgepor returns to peace basis there will b, plenty of vacant rents and when com pleted these houses will not be need ed Even if they were, why should tn, Government spend its money to con tinue strictly war housing in times o { peace?'

Hospital Needed

A general hospital in Ordway would
do two things. 1t would pay those
who desired to put money into it
for an investment and it would re-
suit in relieving great deal of suf-
fering. A great many patients are
sent to hospitals in other towns. Pu-
eblo. Rocky Ford and Denver are at
this time caring for people from ttis
vicinity who could be given treatmeM
here as most cases are of such a
nature as could be cared for at home
hospitals. 1t would do away with
long trips which those who suffer
from various ills or who are injured
must put up with in being transport
cd such distance.

Conventions

Ordway is to entertain two big
conventions next year. One of them
is the convention of the Colorado
State Firemen's association, and the
other, the Kansas-Colorado Boule-
ward association. Each of these meet
ings is big affair in itself and every
effort should be made to give the
visitors a rousing reception and en-
tertain them properly while here SO
that when they return to their homes
they will have something good to
report in Ordway's behalf.
The roads meeting will dray visi-
tors to Ordway from Great Bend,
Kans., west to Pueblo, and 1t is likely
that more than a hundred delegates
will be present. The firemen's con-
vention will bring a big delegation
during the three days, many more
than at the roads meeting. Ordway
must begin to prepare now to take
care of these meetings.
