The robbers gained entrance in the
upper portion of rear window. Inc
door could not be opened even after
the looters had gained entrance, but
entrance and exit was made thru
space between the iron bars over the
window. Thru this narrow space
the robbers took the goods which
were evidently loaded into an auto
mobile.
According to the way they worked
they must have been in the store for
an hour or two. They made sys-
tematic search of the store for the
best goods and for goods they could
most conveniently get away with.
Wrappers and price tickets were TAX
en- from the various articles and
thrown on the floor where they pre-
pared the loot for transportation.
This took place in the balcony de-
partment occupied by Miss Mary
Hartman's millinery. but nothing in
the millinery stock was taken.
1t is believed that the robbers are
old hands at the business for they
apparently knew values and knew

ed with some disreputable store in
one of the larger cities either in this
state or near. Several similar rob-
berries have been made during the
past year in the Arkansas valley and
only recently another of the valley

ner of large quantity of goods.
T.. B. Strickland, the manager and
principal owner of the store here, was
out of the city at the time of the
robbery and was notified by wire of
the theft He believed the store to
be well protected as the rear door
was safely secured and iron bars at
all the windows, and it was only
thru space where the iron bars
were a trifie wider than the usual
that entrance was gained Even this
space was so small that no very large
person could gain entrance.
No trace of the goods or of the
thieves have been found.

Our visit was delightful one in
every way, fine weather. good train
service and delightful scenery. We
Travelled thru part of Colorado across
Kansas, Missouri, part of Iowa, across
Illinois and 1855 miles up into Wis

fine crops, prosperous towne and fine
stock. And a seeming abundance
everywhere.
Kansas City, Chicago. Milwaukee
and Oshkosh, the merchants, factorief
and in fact all enterprises had all
they could do. The great cheese fac
tories of Wisconsin are running full
capacity and doing land office bust
ness. Farmers are filling their silos
and getting ready for the winter
months. Some complain. but that e.
natural. ] suppose some of us would
complain IL we were going to be
hanged. Every way one would look
prosperity is in sight, but no place
looked so good to us as the great
Arkansas valley in Colorado.
We are glad to be at home again
and are ready to contribute our mite
to Ordway and Crowley county thr
best place on the map.
We were glad to meet our friends
Sunday from Sugar City, Box Springs
and Sand Arroya. We hone to meet
you again.

This convention was given to Ord
way because the fireman of the state
believed Ordway could handle it in
proper manner. The delegates are
coming with the expectation that
everything be up to the standard, and
they should not be allowed to go
away disappointed.
Rooms Will BE Needed
There will not be sufficient hotel
or rooming house accommodations to
provide for the visitors, and 1t is
asked by the local fire department
that every home which has an avail
able room arrange to let it be used
by some of the visitors. You are
not asked to donate the room, for the
visitors who occupy it will pay for
its use. But the rooms will be need
ed and 1t will be aiding the local
committees to properly entertain the
convention delegates by opening up
the homes and renting a room for
those three days.
George Riley. a member of the fire
department, is in charge of this part
of the entertainment, and those hav-
ing spare beds or spare rooms may
phone him, giving the number of
persons that can be accommodated.
Meeting Place
Lack of an auditorium in Ordway,
or any suitable place for such a
gathering as this convention, prompt
ed the men in charge to secure n
large tent, and so that will be the
meeting place for the convention.
The tent will be up the day before
and be. ready for service.
Reception Committee
There will be a large reception
committee of both men and women,
and badges will he furnished for each
member 1t will. however. be the
duty of everyone interested in Ord
way to act in some manner on the
reception committee-to give the
"glad hand" to every stranger in
town during the three days. A town
is praised or condemned according to
the way visitors are treated than for
any other half dozen things. If Ord
way will show the proper spirit dur
ing this three day meeting 1t will be
praised by the visitors for a long
time to come. And 1t is safe to say
that Ordway will he there" when 1t

Anything wanted in the way of in
formation may he secured by phoning
or seeing H. G. Bates, the Ordway

WE TAKE ISSUE
BY w. C. T. U. WORKE Err


The saloon element has shown
much persistence and ingenuity in
its claims for the reinstatement OF
its destructive business. One by one
their arguments have been demollsh
ed Their latest plea is that the ban
on liquors must be lifted in order
that the banks, losing money on their
goods, may not become insolvent As
well might the yeggman ask that the
law against safe blowing be repealed
that they might repay money borrow
ed on their expensive tools.
Bankers are credited with much
business acumen and should have
seen the doom of the saloon that was
lcng foreshadowed.
The brewers say there Is a strong
ievulsion of feeling toward prohibit
tion. So long as crime IL reduced
80 percent when the law IL enforced
and business men claim increased
prosperity we think the "revulsion"
will be confined to the liquor dealers
Even old topers now rejoice that
they can spend money for the family
Brewers claim that much property
hes been destroyed; nothing has gone
but contraband booze. Their build
ings can pc used in legitimate bust
ness Many factories have been con
verted into making ice, soap, matted
milk, furniture, etc. And the million
heretofore spent for liquor now can
buy shoes, groceries, furniture, etc.
They claim hotel rates increased
because of closed bars. Hotels in
Ordway raised their rates, due to II
C. l.. and not to prohibition. The
assertions of the liquor men need
to be carefully weighed

Heart to Heart
Talk on Service

Your attention is again called
to the many features contained
in each issue OF the New Era.
The cartoons being carried on
page one are right up to the
minute, drawn about current
things and as timely as those
carried by the daily papers.
Don't think for minute that
a weekly paper cannot have
things just as good as daily.
In other words do not think that
they are not so good merely be-
cause they are in a weekly. Be
honest. Have you been observ-
ing any better cartoons In the
average daily paper than these
to be found each week in the
New Era?

ton of the paper. Just turn to

perhaps about the same thing

again this summer.
Then There Are Others
In this issue you will see a
picture of the President and
other notables, current stuff,
right out of the camera. The
President is on a trip thru the
nation. He will be in Pueblo
soon and this picture is taken
as he started on this trip. Now
dc daily papers have any better,
and do they have 1t any sooner.
Our service is a NOW" service,
not a service of the distant past.
Features galore are to be

Brazil. a Melting Pot Like
America" Is one. of them. "Al-
eppo" an ancient city with cur
rent happenings is another. Then
to divert to things at home
there is the feature; "Outfitting
the Boy for School," Usually it
is the girl but the boys come in
for some attention.
Style suggestions are to be
found which interest the women.
And in this connection not long
ago the New Era contained a
very nifty style view with an
article, and three weeks later the
Ladies' Home Journal came out.
with the Identical view.
Patrons OF the New Era get
things people do not get in most
of the weekly papers. In fact
there are few weekly papers
thruout the country which give
a color section. There are no
other weeklies in Colorado, so
far as we know, which do.
This issue the subscribers are
getting ten pages of news and
features, market reports, farm
news, views. fashion, sporting
news and commentaries why
the New Era is s2OO per year,
and at that, we will be frank in
saying even those papers selling
for $500 are not. as a rule, Civ
ing so much in the way of ser

more in proportion than when
the paper was $1.50. But sub
