and has in this way seen his business
grow from a small beginning to where
he sells in car load lots.
Notwithstanding the industry Of the

oRDwAY SCHOOL NOTES

Last Friday morning we had the
pleasure of listening to interesting
talks by Rev. Hamman of the Bap-
tist church and a literature distrib-
utor who happened to be in town.
The two literary societies clashed
last Friday afternoon in a spelling
match. The Yawdronians won, but
it was afterwards found out that the
word missed by the last one of the
Athenaeums had two spellings and
was rot really misspelled

produce their plays at Crowley to-
night.

at the Princess theater
The Yawdronians took in as door
receipts on Monday night about
S32. After paying for the royalties
and their share of the curtain the
rest was invested in electric light
bulbs and other useful things for
future plays.
The Yawdronian program given
Monday was a success from begin
ming to end. The first number was
music by the girls chorus. The
"Yawdro." read by Elva Edgar.
caused a good deal of laughter and
comment.
Emerson Eagleton gave splendid
address. He rendered it in man
ner well betting future senator
and a staunch Yawdronian.
But next came the best amusement
"of the evening. the play entitled
"Patriots." Maybelle Brush, as Mis-
tress Mason. played her part with
dignity worthy OF any matron of
1776. The British soldier. Emerson
Eagleton. kept the audience roaring
bv his funny action and true Heng-
lish jargon. We were pleased to
meet our friend. Lee Whitney, In the
most honored role of Gen. George
Washington. The hero and heroine
of the play. Roy Shank and Mildred
Boles. were all that could be ex-
pected Miss Dorothy. with her de-
mure yet saucy air. had the courage
to do or die. though she was bit
timid at fire. Capt. Coleridge was
such dashing young officer that,
with Gen. George Washington, we
hold him high esteem.
Harriet Grove played piano solo
so well that she was encored and had
to return to play another selection.
Dorothy Green gave pretty musi-
cal reading entitled THE Sandman"
"The Zone Police" the other play
of the evening, carried us right over
to Panama. Policeman Bullard-
Paul Rohl-did his duty as all good
policemen should in order to preserve
law and order. Sergt. Meehan-
Robert Ross-was really a new re-
cruit of the force. Alfred Forcher
certainly made a fine lieutenant and
the forceful way in which he acted
his part made one shiver in his boots
for fear of being the guilty one.
Poor. besotted Mai. Aintree, whom
our illustrious friend, Link Martin,
so we'll portrayed. came to good
end and we felt that he could not
become a dishonor to his army.
The last thing on the program was
the Yawdronian Male sextet. Enough
said, rs all are well acquainted with
this bright band. They delighted the
audience with their recently acquired
ability to play on stringed instru-
ments.
The stage settings, lighting effects
and off-stage noises were excellent

fine entertainment all the way thru

More Troops to
Go in Training

A special Missouri Pacific train
carrying the final contingent of the
first national military draft which
puts into the cantonments more than
three-quarters of million men.
passed thru Ordway on Wednesday of
this week At the train to join the
recruits was George Williams, one of
the three men to be sent from this
county at this time. The train was
bound for Camp Funston, Kans..
where the boys will go into training
The special carried more than 200
men, thirty-six of whom were from
Pueblo county, and of that number
every man called to entrain reported
for duty. OF the three men to be
furnished by this county at this time
two were out of the county,
Martin Lightburn, who was in Dem
yer, reported at that place for en-
trainment and Harry Mifflin, who
has been at Harrisburg, ILL.,. reported
for duty at that place.
No information is at hand concern
ing the next draft.
Rhoady Kenehan, former state
auditor and at present secretary of
the district board at Denver. was in
Washington several days ago and
had two-hours' conversation with
F.. SEoWucI. thC
general. He reports that the Wash
ington headquarters is 'as much in
the dark as other parts of the coun-
try regarding the date of the second
draft, but that 1t is assumed there
will be no more heavy contingents
called for at any one time.
Kenehan saws 1t is more likely that
the drafts hereafter will he smaller
and more frequent. Probably not
over FIVE men a week from any local
jurisdiction. Drafts of men to fill
industrial positions will take the
place of the regular military calls.
The nation is going on an Industrial
war basis on the theory that the al
lies need our products more than
thev need our men. and also because
it has been demonstrated that we
cannot maintain a much larger army
in Europe than we already have
there
