HATS OFF TO oRDwAY

BY MARY NJ. KENNARD
Twas from dear old Nebraska
That l came to look around.
And to spend months vacation
with a friend in Ordway town.
I've been 20 Manzanola.
- Rocky Ford,
And to Fowler and La Junta,
And | made the trip by Ford.
But what | want to tell you
Is Just a thing or two.
And | know you'll all agree with me
For what l say is true:
That when it comes to beauty
We don't have to look around,
For the others are not in 1t
with this little Ordway town.
Ordway has its city parks,
With trees and lawns all green,
And drinking fountains are therein
And seats to rest are seen.
It's school house Is beauty,
And when 1t Is complete
They'll have to take their hats off
For It's surely hard to beat.
The churches all are growing.
Likewise, the band is too;
Attend the evening concerts
When you've nothing else to do.
Sugar City boasts of pretty girls,
But then, We do not care,
For Ordway gals have them beat,
With them, they can't compare.
The sugar beets are dandy,
The cantaloupes are too.
And when it comes to cherries
I've helped pick. and ate few.
Tho I love dear old Nebraska.
With Its fields of yellow grain:
I've a warm spot yet for Ordway,
And hope twill long remain.

WOMEN GIVEN RECOGNITION BY
 DEM. COMMITTEE
By Review Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Homer s. Cummings of Connecticut was elected chairman of the national democratic committee today, and the committee voted a complete reorganization for an aggressive campaign in 1920.
 The committee adopted resolution greeting President Wilson on his re- turn to the United States, and con graduating him on his achievements at the peace conference. and another favOring the federal enfranchisement of women. It also created a nation wide woman's auxiliary.
 Committeeman w H. Hornbrook of Oregon proposed the resolution ex- tending greetings and congratulations to President Wilson. The resolution called upon all citizens, irrespective of political affiliations, to support the eff forts which President Wilson is mak- ing ''in behalf of a world peace. sup ported by all civilized governments. !"
 Give Women Recognition
 The resolution favoring the en- franchisement of women through an amendment to the federal conStitu- tion. was adopted, 2S to 10, after a spirited debate. The resolution was proposed by Senator Jones of New Me0co, a member of the committee, and chairman of the woman's suffrage committee of the senate, who urged tAe committee to get behind the suff- rage amendment and to prevail upon democratic senators generally to vote for it before the adjournment of the present congress.
 A plan for an associate national committee of women. proposed by Mrs. George Bass of Chicago, was adopted. Members of this auxiliary committee, the plan provides, are to be appointed Sy the chairman of the national com, mittee on nomination by the commit teemen of the respective states until some different method is adopted. The plan also cOntemplateS the election or appointment of a woman as vice chair man of every state and county commit tee and in each congressional district. the selection of a committeeman in each state senatorial district, town, ward or precinct. as the associates of the corresponding male officials of the party in those subdivisions. There is to be constituted in each state and territory a womans' state executive committee, composed of the associate member of the national committee, the state vice chairman and the director of education.
 To Correlate Work
 The procedure suggested is not to be obligatory in states where law or party custom provides representation for women on such committees. The advantage of this form of organization, it is explained. is that it will core late the work of men and women and give the l1tter the benefit of the mems larger political experience.
 In his speech accepting the chair manship, Mir. Cummings declared his belief that the party would win a mer. ited victory in 1920
