Building Soon to Arise for Fl Zaribah Temple In / Oasis of Phoenix to Be Handsome and Complete Edifice
AMPHITHEATER WILL
 SEAT 1,50O PEOPLE

CIl uCtuIc uO OQSI PloO,OUU
 and Have One of Largest
 Stages In the West
 The Shriners of this city are now assured of one of the most beautiful and con- pletely equipped lodge build ings in the southwest. Plans for the interior and exterior finishing of this building have been rushed to comple- tion by the building commit tee in connection with the architects who have the con- struction of the proposed edifice in hand, Lescher and Kibbey of this city.
 If the plans are not changed this evening when they will be submitted at the business session of the Shriners, the new Shriners' temple will be equipped with a commodious amphitheater with a seating capacity of 1,5OO people. This amphi- theater will contain one of the largest stages in the west. Another feature of the building will be the huge combination banquet hall and ball room which will be larger than an average city lot, and will have a splendid hard wood floor and ade- quate space for the orches- tra. Altogether, the pro posed building seems to be ideal for the purpose ill view.
 The original plans for the temple have been entirely complete for a pretentious structure which would con tain a theater. as well as the regulation lodge rooms. Con- struction was to have been begun almost immediately. but the war interfered and suspended building opera tiOns. Since the end of the war the original idea of in } cooperating a theater in the lodge building has been def initely abandoned, and this made necessary a complete revision of the plans. The present plan is to provide proper facilities ill the build ing to adequately house al. Masonic orders of the city although this has not as vel definitely been decided.
 The building committe, appointed by the Shriners tC perfect plans for the build ing consists of A. G. Hulett chairman, W. c. Foster Hugh Campbell of Flagstaff A. A. Betts, Epes Randolph of Tucson, Clinton Campbell H. A. Morgan of Wilcox Neill E. Bailey of Washing ton, D. C., and Vernon [ Clark, who is the secretary This committee is the orig inal one which was appoint ed in 1916, and it has beer
 busy bringing constructiol plans to perfection.
 The Shriners have lon,
 since purchased the lot O which the proposed buildin Nvill be erected. This lot i on North Central avenue joining the School of Musi
 on the north. The lot is 12
 by 14O feet deep and repre-
 sents an investment of $25

City Delivery Of
Mails Proposed
Council Acts In Conjunction With
Postmaster, and Town Mail De-
livery May Soon BE Reality II
Citizens Aid Plan.

City delivery of mail may soon be
reality in Ordway, even tho the
citizens of Ordway have thought 1t a
long way off, A town does not have
to be of certain size in population
to get city delivery service. The
business of the po1toffice must
amount however, to $4,000 or more
a year, and since that is the case in
Ordway city delivery may soon be
put on.
The matter has been taken up and
letters have already passed between
Stephen p. IIgenfritz. postmaster. and
the postofiice department. with en-
couraging replies from Washington.
In cooperation with this move a
special meeting of the city council
was called for Tuesday night and the
proposition gone into carefully, and
a resolution adopted pledging the
towns support to the postoffice de-
partment The houses and business
buildings will all have to be number
ed. but town board several years
ago adopted a method of of.numbering.
II the numbers are to be put in. in
case of securing a delivery, property
owners may get their numbers. from
the city clerk. The city council will
cooperate in every way possible In
this matter.
Good sidewalks in town have
something to do with securing city
delivery and Ordway has about the
best lot of walks of any town in the
Arkansas valley, and much better and
more of them than most towns this
size
The securing of the city delivery
for Ordway is now up solely to Ord
way, and II the proper things are
done Ordway will be placed in a class
with Fowler. Rocky Ford and other
towns which have city delivery.

TELLS OF TRENCH LIFE
Chester Russell Says Fighting Was
Fast and Furious, With
No Rest

Sergt. Chester Russell has written
a letter to the New Era from overseas
in which he brings out some interest
ing things. Chester Is the son OF
Mrs. Jennie Vance. residing north of
0rdway. His letter follows:
A. p. O., 743, Jan. 27, 1913.
To The ordway New Era:
AS the war is over l have little
time and am first going to write a
few lines to the paper that you may
know am still alive and in the land
of France. We are long way from
home but you can rest assured that
we have seen some life since we've
been over here.
We have been in the trenches with
the rats and 'cooties and those big
shells flying overhead made It a great
life for those who like It, am sorry
to say, however, that not very many
of the bows liked 1t any too we'll,
myself included. But somebody had
to do 1t for had we laid back like
some of them did this war would
never have been ended. I, for my
part. was a volunteer when the Mexi-
can trouble started. and in Kansas
regiment. was called into service
the fifth of August, 1917. and ever
since then we have had little hi.
but 1t kept getting worse over here
when we ran up against the real
thing. and here want to say that
each state had its brave men and the
Kansas bunch surely showed 1t in the
fight-and we saw real one, too.
Now there is Just one place where
l don't think we were treated right,
and that was while we were In the
trenches At first they said we would
get rest, for we we're nearly tired
out, and thev would take us out to
what they called a rest camp. but we
called 1t a work camp, for they would
drill us half to death. We finally
got SO we called the. trenches rest
camp.
When we goti the worst was when
we went in on the Areonne drive and
stayed for five davs with very little
sleep and very little to eat. We were
promised a good rest and instead of
the rest that we expected we went
into the trenches again. Then we
were told we wonid set a good one
after this and when we got started
back we had to hike It to where wd
are now located, but we were-started
for another drive in the place OF rest.
and the armistice caught us and you
can Just believe me we never did get
that rest, until the armistice was
signed.

Farming Must

President Of Farmers Cooperative
Union Points Out Needs Which
Would, If Adopted, Prove Boom
To Farming In General.
BY DIR. H. Q. ALEXANDER

BY DIR. H. Q. ALEXANDER
OF North Carolina. President. Farm
ers' Cooperative Union of America
Written for the New Era.
Farming should be more profitable
than manufacturing farm implements
and machinery or fertilizers but we
know that 1t is not SO.
Farming should bring greater re-
turns than manufacturing cotton or
wool into yarns and cloth; but 1t
doesn't.
Farming should be more profitable
than the business of transportation;
but It isn't.
Farming should be more profitable
than mining. oil wells, gas, etc, be
cause 1t adds to the wealth of the
country, while these others only bring
up from natures storehouse (Which
of right belongs to all the pe0ple) and
converts into usable form.
Farming should be more profitable
than any commercial enterprise be-
cause this is merely the assembling
at the centers of consumption the
commodities of nature, labor and ma
chinery, in finished form ready for
the users.
With Fair Adjustment
Farms VIII Attract Men.
To place farming on sure founda
tion the government should ascer-
tain the cost of production of all farm
crops under average farm conditions
And in arriving at the cost of pro;
ducts, the farmer and his family
should be granted salary and wages
equal to that paid in other basic in
dustries.
II our nation Is 20 continue to pro
vide food, raiment and shelter for
our own people and help supply the
needs of our fellow men In other
parts of the world, then we must in

Any civilization that is long to

Public Utilities
Gets on the Job
Sends Man Here to Investigate Lack
OF Train Service During the Snow
Storms of Winter Time-Must
Havc Service.

A representative from the Colorado
Public Utilities Commission. Mr..
Samuelson, OF Denver, was in Ordway
on Friday afrefnooh- and Saturday
morning of last week, having come in
response to letter sent the commits
sion protesting the iack of mail, ex-
press and passenger service during
four days of the week previous. The
service for the towns from Pueblo to
Horace, Kans., failed because of n
snow over in Kansas, and Mr.. Samuel
son stated that he could see no rea-
son why the Missouri Pacific should
not have put on a train between Pu-
eblo and Horace each day and moved
the mails and otherwise cared for
the public's needs.
The investigation of the situation
is still in the hands of the Public
Utilities Commission, and 1t is quite
likely that similar occurance will
not happen soon. In December the
towns of Crowley county and some
of the towns in Kiowa county were
without mail, express and passenger
service for four days because Of snow
drifts in the eastern part of Kiowa
county. At that time a stub train
could have been put on and operated
daily between Pueblo and Haswell
and possibly to Eads. but no effort
was made on the part of the Missouri
Pacific to do so. and when the recent
storm in Kansas caused all serviTe
to be discontinued on the Colorado
division the matter was taken up by
the mayor with the Public Utilities
Commission, the Missouri Pacific and
the postoffice department, letters hav-
ing been sent to eac-.
During the recent Kansas blizzard
the Santa Fe was blocked in Kansas
but trains were run from Dodge City
to Denver, and during the December
storm when the Missouri Pacific fail
ed to give service here for four days
the Santa Fe operated trains from
La Junta to Denver on schedule time.

DELEGATES SPLIT
OVER COAL FIELDS
Teschen Fuel District Pre-
sents Big Problem in
Peace Conference

PARIS, Wednesday, April 9.-The
coal fields of the Teschen district in
dispute between Czecho-SloYakia and
Poland present one of the most diff
cult problems before the peace confer
ence. Both nationalities claim that
the distritc is essential to their devel-
opment. OF the total population of
100000 about one-third are Czecho-
Slovaks and the remainder are Poles,
but if the district were divided on
racial lines the industrial district and
the railways would be split so as to
be of little value to either country.
The Teschen mines are declared to
provide the only cooking coal avail
able for Czecho-Slovakia and conse-
quently her industries cannot live
without them, her representatives
claim. Warsaw is supplied with gas
from the Teschen fields and is de-
pendent upon them for the light, heat
and power for the city. Poland, it is
stated, has other coking coal fields,
but has not developed them.
The peace conference commission
on Polish affairs and the inter-allied
commission sent to Poland have been
working hard in an endeavor to ar
range some plan which will make the
Teschen coal available for both coun-
tries, but neither the Poles nor the
Czecho-Slovaks have shown them
selves willing to accept compromise
which would deprive them of the own
ership of the coal fields.
