WILD With JOY
WHEN HUN GIVES

All Fargo celebrated Germany's
surrender to the allies today.
Business houses. offices and factor
les Of every description closed at 10
o'clock to permit employees to take
part in the demonstrations which
commenced at 4 o'clock this morning,
and merged into monster parade in
which more than 10000 persons--in-
cluding bankers, clerks, college stu
dents, workmen and citizens in gen.

United States and allied flags were
prominently displayed, both in the
parade and on the streets.
At noon the celebration gave no
signs of abating.
Celebration Begins Early.

hostilities commenced early this

the signing of the armistice had been
received In the city Whistles at the

morning air. At 4 o'clock the streets
were crowded. and by 10 O'Clock,
when everything closed for the day,
the scores of independent demonstra-
tions which had been proceeding for
three hours merged into a demonstra-
tion. the equal of which has never
been seen in the city. Headed by a
drum corps, carried by a big motor
truck, the thousands paraded through
the business district, cheering and
generally making merry, while other
thousands yelled their approval from
the sidewalks.
Thousands in Line.
At o'clock, the Rotary club drum
corps, 40 strong, paraded. Flag-dec-
Grated automobiles, loaded with mer-
rymakers and proclaiming their right
of way with shrill sirens were in the
majority on the streets all the fore
noon.
= Paraders a Merry Lot.
Fargo has never seen more merry
crowds than those who crowded the
streets this morning. Patriotic and
popular songs came from every cor
ner, and the groups that formed the
monster parade were even more
happy.

call from marchers to friends on the
sidewalks, and the marchers were
constantly increased as the parade
progressed.

There was a city lady visiting some
relatives in the country and as she
was, walking down the lane she saw
some calves.
Thinking to display her knowledge
she remarked, 20 what pretty little
cowletsw Bill, the farm boy, came
up about that time, heard her re-
marks, and said Excuse me. miss,

The lady had heard a stranger in
railway carriage say that II any man
could see himself intoxicated he would
never be intoxicated again, and, hav-
ing a. husband addicted to alcoholism,
and also plenty of money, she thought
of experimenting. The cinematograph
operator whom she engaged was not
kept waiting long for an opportunity
of filming the errant husband, and in
the presence of relatives the subject
was privileged to- behold himself on
the screen. He was. very quiet
throughout, and gravely left the room,
which the others thought a good sign.
Finding he had also left te house, his
brother set out to find him, running
him to earth eventually in the club,
busy-as an attendant stated-with
his fifteenth whisky and soda,
