Last Thursday there flashed over
the wires a message that Germany
had signed peace treaty and that the
great world war was at an end 1t
was not long until the fire bell,
church bells, school bells and all the
bells in town began to ring and can
mons roared forth approval until near
1y daylight The kaiser was hung in
effigy and every one was exultantly
happy only to have their high hopes
dashed to earth the next morning
when the big dailies announced it all
a hoax.
But on Monday morning another
message came which announced the
same fact that a peace treaty had
been signed and this time it was true
and true American celebration fol-
lowed. Everybody was jubilant so
amid changing bells and roaring cam
non the people expressed their joy.
On Monday afternoon large auto
parade took place, with flags flying
and drums beating. The tz1ai.er was
