the condition of affairs here so well.
Ordway is a growing town, and the
school enrolment is yearly on the
increase. To build the old method
of a building wherein one structure
must provide all grades would mean
that a building would of necessity
have to. be erected which would pro-
vide for anticipated increases in en-
rollment for at least ten years To
do less would eventually cost much
more, and at the same time be apt
to cause an over-crowded condition in
the schools long before an addition to
a big building could be erected.
Under the cottage plan provisions
would be made for the present needs.
AS soon as there was need of more
room another cottage at a compara-
lively small cost could be erected
without the formality of voting bonds
and thus delaying needed facilities
Advocates of this plan have many
points in its favor and the patrons of
the district are almost solidly behind
Superintendent Ross in his advocacy
OF the construction OF such building
facilities -
As a tentative draft, for a basis of
plans. Mr.. Ross has outlined a main
building for high school use which
Will give the Junior High and the
Senior High. classes each good sized
study rooms which, when needed for
other purposes. can be thrown into
one large room, seating about $50
persons, and becoming for the oc-
casion a regular auditorium room for
community use. To one end of this
would be stage 16x28 feet in dimen-
sions. At either side of this stage

HOMO is RENrEMBERED

Homo, lots of people around Ord
way know him. and one man back In
Illinois remembers him and asks
about him. Homo Is Just dog. He
is the famously known all purpose
dog which keeps A b. Cook broke
buying him somet-lmg to eat. A
couple OF years ago. or more, when
Homo was a mere pup, J.. Il. Long
lived in the vicinity where Homo
lived at that time. and the two took
a facination for each other. In
recent letter from Mr.. Long written
to the New Era. and by the way Homo
used to be the New Era's dog, he
asked II Homo was all right and
ready for romp. The dog is to be
found with Cook at the Lindholm
garage or II Cook Is on the street
there, too, will be seen Homo.
Homo has little further notoriety
as a dog. The woman who named
him is now in France near the battle
front where she is doing refugee
work. Doubtless Homo would be a
good helper were he over there.

WHO WILL BE SPEAKER

There is considerable conjecture
now as to who will be speaker of the
house at, the Forthcoming Colorado
General Assembly. Would 1t sur
prise one II Representative Bashor
of Crowley county. was the one to
he chosen? Bashor's. friends, both
Republicans and Democrats. have in
timated that he is in line for the
position and II is quite likely that
they will start a "speaker boom" for
him. The House is strongly Republi-
can and the Republicans will have
the speaker, and even II Republicans
are divided in the selection of this
presiding official Bashor should have
the Democratic support for he stood
with Speaker Best at the last general
assembly, and in the special session.

ing itself would be one story on
high foundation, giving high base-
ment or half basement. Such buiid-
ing, II these or similar plans are
adopted. would be a practical struc-
ture and one which would at the same
time make a most creditable appear
ance-
The cottages would be OF four
rooms, each about 24x30 feet In di-
mension. A hallway would run down
part the distance and cloak and toilet
rooms provided in each one.
From the practicabfIity the cottage
plan is generally conceded the best
and from the taxpayers view point
1t is likewise the best, and whatever
plan there may be'adopted the people
of the district are well in the major
ity in favoring construction on an
unstinted basis. They want some.
thing good and commodious and
something which will give full ser
vice to school and community work.

"On 10 Berlin

ION to Berlin" was the cry when
boys left for overseas. Then came
a time, only recently, when that trip
to Berlin seemed a thing which
would never become renllty-be-
cause OF the proposed armistice and
ultimate peace which would follow.
But we believe United States troops
will be in Berlin in thirty days, If
not sooner They viii not be In
Berlin to fight Germany as united
nation, but they will be In Berlin
and all other large cities, policing
them to help establish order where
reign Of terror exists.
IL Germany agrees to the armistice
Foch submits, and she doubtless will
II she has not already. 1t will be be-
cause the state OF affairs within her
own boundaries are in such turmoil
with so many red flags flying that
she must accept any terms submitted.
Then 1t will be the cuty of the allies
and more especially that OF the United
States, to enter Germany and police
EVERY beat in order to aid in es-
tabliahing such a government as the
people themselves might want by the
overthrow of milltaTiHm and prus-
sianism.
Our boys may. then, yet cry ION to
Bcrllni" and may soon be In Berlin.
for no reign OF terror could be al
lowed to exist as has existed in Rus
STA. A Germany placed on sub
stantial basis with the overthrow OF
kaiserism viii he n helpful Germany,
hut a Germany dominated by militar-
Ism would be dangerous Germany
and no loophole VIII he left where
in Germany will be a dangerous en-
emy, but every item in the peace con-
slderations will result in placing that
nation in a position where she will
be helpful and beneficial nation
among nations.

Cottage Plan
Is Advocated
Supt. Ross Drafts Tentative Outline
Which Provides for Excellent Fa-
cilities for ordway Schools.

Cottage school buildings with a
main high school in combination with
a school auditorium is the generally
accepted plan for scnool purposes in
Ordway since the recent fire destroy
ed the building and caused new con-
struction to replace the old.
Superintendent A. b. Ross of the
Ordway schools has advocated that
system of school faciIities-known as
the cottage plan-frem the time the
building burned down. He has made
a careful study of the cottage plan
previous to coming to Ordway and is
of the belief that that. system will
better solve the problem here than
any other. He has the hearty cooper
alton of ideas among the school pa
irons and taxpayers or the district in
this and 1t is generally hoped that
such a system will be the one adopted.
In a general way Superintendent Ross
outlined what he had in mind merely
as his idea for consideration. So
favorably has 1t taketn that there are
many ardent supporters of 1t who be-
lieve any other method would not fit

County's Quota is
Set at $4,000
There's many a slip
Twixt cup and the lip.


Crowley county's quota for the
United War Fund FOR the seven big
united war workers bodies. is set at
S5,700. This fund is to be raised
as a part of the nations S2,550,750.
The plea is made for people not to
relax their efforts afong war work.
In the last hours of the big war, IL
1t IS the last hours. serious things
might happen Just because the people
in their excitement allowed them
selves to rest on the job. Remember
we have mere than two million men
over in Europe. Two million is a
good sized number They are still
fighting and might have to remain
there another year or more. 1t
might be, for there is many slip
twixt the cup and the lip" that Ger
many even after agreeing to an armis-
tiee, refused TO accept the peace terms
and thus cause fighting to resume
next spring. What IL these things
happened and we people over here
laid down on the job. because of our
belief that the war is over. Where
would the boys be and what would be
the relief they expect us to give
them in their times of need.
This big fund is needed even if not
another gun was fred in the present
war. Stay on the job. Do all you
can.
