JOSEPH HENRY

Joseph Andrew Henry, a former
Ordway boy, and at the time of his
enlistment in the army a resident OF
Seneca. Kans.. is one of the number
who gave up his life for his country's
sake. He fell on the battlefield with
a wound and died in a Red Cross
hospital. The letter, written to his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Henry,
by the Red Cross is as follows:
My Dear Mr.. Henry:-We sincere
ly regret to tell you that in the re-
port from an American Red Cross
hospital, under date of October IL,
is the following report concerning
Sergent Joe Henry, Company I, 39th
Infantry. American Exp, Forces.
He was admitted to the hospital
with a gun shot wound in the right
leg, quite unconscious and died per-
fectly peacefully. No struggle at all
just like sleep. The Red Cross Priest
was with him praying and annointed
him. He died at GAS p. m. from
wound shock and exhaustion.
1--WE assure you that in this hos
pital he received the kindliest atten-
ton and all was done for him that
possibly could be done. They asked
us to tell you that he is buried in the
hospital cemetery and was given
military funeral. The head of his
grave is marked with a cross on which
appears his name and military con-
nection. After the service salute
was fired over the open grave and
taps sounded. once by a bugler near
by and again by a bugler little
farther off to give the effect of an
echo.
: "The Red Cross sincerely sympa-
thizes with you in your great loss. IT
is your right to be proud of this boy
of yours who went forth to fight for
the Liberty and peace of the world.
He has fallen on the Held of honor.
brave defender of Righteousness.
humanity and freedom.-Very Sim
cerely Yours. w. r. Castle. jr.
In memory of Joseph Henry the
Seneca Council, Knights Of Column
bus, of which he was worthy mem-
ber held a public service In COM
memoration of his heroism. This
service was held on November 10.
and the business houses of Seneca
closed for these services.
Joseph Henry was well known here,
having resided with his brothers On
the Sandford place, Jist east of town.
The brothers moved from here and
he returned to Seneca where his par
ents resided and remained there un-
til he entered the service and went
to the fields of action.

WINTER ON THE FARM

One of the city's pleasing fictions
about the country Is that there IL
nothing to do on the farm after
Thanksgiving.
The harassed city worker, who
dresses by steam heat. and goes to
work on q heated car, and labors in
we'll lighted. warmed. ventilated
shop. store or factory; who has his
fuel delivered to his back door, or
else piped thru his home. imagines
that the farmer hibernates from Mo-
vember to February; that he holds
himself up with a red checked apple
in one hand and a copy Of the almanac
in the other, and only emerges on
fine days to let the light Of the sun
play in his whiskers.
The truth is otherwise.
Sixteen cows to milk before day
light, in a barn with a below zero
temperature.
Snowdrifts to tunnel thru.
Chickens and hogs and calves and
lambs and colts to care for in the
open, no matter what the weather. or
the acuteness of the rural chilblain3.
A trip to the store; a peril like
unto an artic adventure.
The, doing of the family washing
each week.
Winter on the plain American farm
from the western mountains, across
the great, blizzard-swept plains, to
the white hills of New England,
is an adventure. and like most adven-
turous undertakings nr1 the pleasure
of it is in retrospection.
The husking bees and sleighing
parties and skating carnivals and
holiday dinners and other poetic trim
mings are about as much routine
part of the winter farm program. as
the summer circus is the underpin-
ming of haying, or the countyfair of
threshing.
The Ordway new era., 1919-01-10

Women may replace men in many
new fields.
On this opinions diner.
Some bosses say women have not
made good; some say they have done
better than the men they replaced.
Probably 1t depends as much on
the boss as the women workers.
But If women do replace the men
on mems Jobs the men won't reciprO-
cate.
1t is not in the scheme of things
that men rear families.
Or do housework.
Or make head cheese and soft
soap and initiated pillow slips.
Men can wash dishes and clothes:
they can scrub floors and bathe the
baby; some can process" boiler
full of canned vegetables. and swat
the pantry fly.
There is no inherent disability.
But men will never possess the
divine patience that will enable them
to day after day, month in and month
out; thru the routine years wash
dishes to be dirtied again; scrub
floors to be tracked up; sweep carpets
to be defiled before the dust settles,
in short, to each day attack with vim
and serene hope the same petty tolls
that were the compliments of the
waking hours of yesterday and yester-
var.
Petty tolls?
Not exactly. since they go to make
clean, wholesome, nealthfuI, lappy
American homes.
For dirty floor and dusty pantry
and a f1y-infested food cabinet and a
dirty baby are not the essentials of
good government.
But men Just won't do these things.
they haven't the divine long suffrance.
So then, IL women go forth to work,
what about It?
There won't be much of a civiliza-
tion. that's all.
OF course the women will continue
to do as they have done.
Only we hope they some day get
this fact pounded into dull little
world.
That the work of the woman in her
home is the greatest work in the
world!

SEARCHING THE WORD

The war has led men back to the
mode of serious thinking that mark
ed the Puritan fathers; also to a
more ready reliance upon the Bible.
These days we discover In strange
places Scriptural quotations, and an
editor who didn't get at least one
manger scene in his Christmas week
journalistic panorama was indeed
sunken in iniquity.
Which by no means indicates that
these new handy quoters quote cor
rectly.
Some of us discovered years ago
that the. Bible is good book to read,
but a poor one to quote without close
reference.
The Bible is made to say a large
number of things that Bill Shake
speare really said, and vica versa.
And Biblical history is about as
mixed in the average mind as the
present map of Europe.
We noted recently an impressive
editorial that asserted the wise men
came to destroy the Babe in the
Manger. They didn't.
They came to worship their new
king, and had orders from Herod to
let him know. SO that he too could
worship.
( Herod's motives were mixed doubt
less, but those of the wise men were
not, because when they learned what
Herod wanted of Jesus they went
home another way without seeing
Herod.
Few know that there are two dis
tinct, separate and dissimilar ac-
counts of Creation in the Bible. and
yet the most casual reading will re-
veal them.
Also we would like to hear the
average feminist preach a sermon on
any of the epistles Of Paul, that lay
down the Christian duties of women
In the church. About keeping still
In church, and being obedient to their
husbands.
The Bible is the greatest inspira-
tion I'm the world, for those who read
IL Understandings.

INT STANLEY DIES

Int Stanley, OF Rocky Ford. died

"Father of the Short Story"

The father of the short story was
Giovanni BoccacciO, an italian novel
list and poet, who died at Certaldo 543
years ago. His "Decamer0n," col
lection of short tales, each complete
in itself, practically marked the be-
ginning Of the short story. BOccac-
clio was born about 1913, and his words
reflect the immoral--or immoral
spirit OF the times in which he lived,
and q majority of his tales are of a
character which would now land the
author in Jail, if he could find pub
Usher to offer his works for sale. De-
spite their immOrality-posSibly be-
cause of 1.-THE "DecamerOn" has
been translated into nearly every lam
guage and is still widely read. Lit
erary critics ranked the work as a
masterpiece. BalZac and many other
modern authors have found inspira-
ton IN the works of the celebrated
Italian. His faults were those of his
time-and for the matter of that. OF
a much later time, for as recently as
q century ago stories were told in
mixed company which would now
scarcely be tolerated by a "stag
party"
