pieces, followed by the officers of the
vocational section S. A. T. C.. men
in uniform and bearing arms were
followed by Ia platoons of collegiate
section soldier-students and the 80

much attention.
"God Bless America" was the sub

Mrs. Brackner, in which she herself
appeared as a German-oppressed
Belgian mother with two small chill
dren, accepting the protection of an
American soldier and American Red
Cross nurse.
A float prepared by K. d. Carter

PULLMAN MUST HURRY
TO RAISE IT'S QUOTA

Pullman is about $1,000 behind its
quota of $3775 for the United War
Work Fund. Let us not be back
ward now in making things comfort
able for the boys who licked the
Kaiser"
The morale of our troops will be
much harder to maintain now that
the war incentive" is taken away.
The country precincts are going
over the top with time to spare and
Pullman surely can not fail on a
small quota of $3775. Remember
you are giving to seven distinct or
CARNATIONS. each occupying a distinct
place and each doing seperate
work
Pay your assessment at either
bank and do it now"
The local committee does not want
to make Il personal canvass of the
slow ones unless it is absolutely
necessary.

BIGGEST CELEBRATION IN HIS
TORY OF TOWN MARKS CLOSE
OF WORLD WAR - KAISER
BURNED IN EFFIGY.

The greatest day in the history of
the world was fittingly marked by
the greatest celebration in the his
tory of Pullman or the Palouse coun-
try, a celebration that will go down
in local history as the most stipend
Gus display of supreme happiness
that it is possible for a community
of human beings to manifest.
Pullman's 1000 inhabitants were
reused from their slumbers at mid
night Sunday by long blasts on the
college siren and the changing of the
city fire bell, and as if by magic
every one of those inhabitants be-
came at once aware that the great
world struggle of democracy versus
autocracy was at an end and that
democracy had triumphed Through
the courtesy of the Spokesman
Review the word was flashed to the
Pullman representative of that paper
as soon as it came off the wires and
within l 5 minutes the main streets
of the city were a seething mass of
humanity, every bell in the city was
ringing, horns were blowing, cans
rafting, and every pair of lungs was
being put to the crucial test. The
Associated Press report was 10 hours
i'm advance of the official word re-
ceived by officers in charge of the
Iallman S. A. T. c., but not for a
minute was its veracity questioned,
despite the United Press hoax, which
caused a premature celebration last
Thursday.
The word was passed around that
the set celebration would be held at
1000 o'clock Monday morning, in
order to give the rural people an OPP
portunity to participate, but the ex-
uberance of many Of the celebrants
was not to be interrupted, and shouts
of happiness could be heard through
out the night.
All the residents of the farming
districts were notified of the glad
tidings by telephone and by 1900
o'clock Monday the greatest throne
ever assembled in Pullman was on
hand to do full justice to the happiest
piece of news ever flashed over the
wires. Business houses closed for
the day and a holiday was declared
for every resident of the community.
The big parade formed on Grand
street, headed by a truck bearing an
effigy of the kaiser. tarred and

Hood, prominent Pullman farmer,
topped the market in Spokane Fri

$17.25. Mr.. Hood shipped two cars
of hogs, averaging $50 pounds. The
hogs were fattened on corn raised

MUST NOT FORGET
SACRIFICES MADE
Speaker Urges People to Express
Their JOY Over Victory in Deeds
Rather Than Noise

At the conclusion of the big parade
Monday, after the crowd had howled
its approval of the burning of the eff
figy of the Kaiser, VIM. Goodyear
was called upon and responded with
a short address, in which he said. in
part:
This is the happiest day in our
lives because 1t means that
The Star Spangled Banner in tri-
umph shall wave
Ger the land of the free and the
home of the brave
For the first time in over four
years the booming of the guns on the
western front has ceased and in the
sudden silence we can almost catch
the echo of the song which the angels
sang on the first Christmas morning:
Peace on earth, good will to men
But in our joy in the victory we
must not forget the terrible sacri-
fices which have been made to at
tain it. Our boys will soon be COM
ing home from the front. Are we
going to make heroes OF them for a
few days and then forget all about
their welfare. or are we going to Of
fer them their old jobs and the OPP
portunity to become prosperous, con-
tented and honored citizens? Some
of them will come back blind or
MANNED or broken in health. Are we
going to idolize these sufferers for a
few weeks and then leave them to
shift for themselves or are we going
to surround them with the loving
care of their countrymen as long as
they shall live?
Now that the stimulus OF the ae-
tive hostilities is over are we going
to relax our efforts to feed the peo-
pie of our allies and OF other starv-
ing nations of Europe and to min
lister to their necessities, or are we
going to continue to deny ourselves
until they are capable OF sustaining
themselves?
"Our boys at the front have done
their part, but months will inter
vene before they can be returned to
their homes and these months OF
comparative inactivity under rigid
discipline, without the excitement Of
fighting, are going to be filled with
inconsistencies and temptation, when
they will need as never before, the
care and services of the Y. M. c. A.,
Y. w C. A.. Knights of Colubmus,
Jewish Welfare Board, Salvation
Army, War Community Service, and
American Library Association. 1t is
easy to express our Joy over the great
victory in noise, but II would be far
more fitting to express 1t by going,
before this day ends, to one or the
banks, and making liberal sub
scription to the United War Work
Fund
"Are we going to forget the MEN,
cries OF the 40 young men at the
State College who died in the serv-
ice during the past few days? They
gave their lives for their country just
as truly as any man who fell on the
firing line at the western front, and
hope some time to see a monu-
ment erected on yonder campus to
keep their memories green in our
hearts and to afford inspiration to
future students.
Are we going to ignore the hero
ism and sacrifices OF France and Bel

TWO PULLMAN MEN

Yate Joe Christman Give Lives on
Battle Fields of France

Receipt of information that Ser
geant Frank Hamelius and Private
Joseph Christman, two Of Pullman's
most promising young citizens, had
given their lives on the battle fields
Of France during the final days of
the great struggle for the freedom of
the world added much to the feeling
Of great sorrow for the tremendous
sacrifices required which attended
hllman's monster peace celebration,
yet added in like measure to the in
tense JOY that the days of bloodshed
and misery are at an end and that
20 more of Pullman young men will
be called upon to make the supreme
sacrifice. Both the young soldiers
represented the cream of the young
manhood of this community and the
news OF their death came as a great
blow, and at a time when the people
we're rejoicing in the prospects for
an early and victorious peace.
Sergeant Hamelius was a son of
Mr. and Mrs. Matt Hamelius, pio-
neers of this city. The telegram

"Over two thousand gardens were

Portsmouth club, competing for the six
medals offered. Boy scouts had en-
tered over two hundred gardens. A
public recognition service was held on
Government square last Monday eve
ming, ut which time the six medals
were awarded. 1t was quite pleasant
surprise when the names of six boy
scouts were announced. All the scout
gardens were success, and that we
got results is proved by the fact that

paint, japan and enamel had about
the same heating effect bu5 the radi-

less heating effect. That is the

That increases the radiation so that
if bronze paint is nut on over the 9th

one-fourth. While if bronze paint is
covered with the other paint then the
heating effect of the radiator is
brought up to normal.
If radiator covered with bronze
