Praise God from whom all blessings

Praise God from whom all blessings
flow.
Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward men.
The doctrine of the divine right of
kings has gone glimmering, but,
thank God, Wilhelm is no longer a
king; just plain Bill, the greatest
criminal since Judas Icariot.
Clown Quince-Pa where do we go
from here?
Bill don't know my son. Looks
like we were going to hell.
BY grape vine telegraph 1t is
rumored that General Pershing had
to order several salvos of artillery
before the Yanks could go to sleep.
The great silence kept the boys wide
awake.
Question in geography. Where is
Mittel Europa? Ask Bill the Butcher
Give the devil his due" We have.
What's the matter with Foch
He's all right.
"The Yanks won't fight. And even
if they would, they can't come across" >"
said Bill. Zatso?
Lost: Zone Shining Armor." Finder
will please communicate with Bill
Hohenzolleln, somewhere in H
oIland.
Dissolution: The partnership
heretofore existing between Mine
self und Gott" is dissolved. The

Of absence.
Il will stand no more nonsense

Mrs. c. E. Wallace's auto was a
bower of beauty in the parade.
Beautiful crysanthemums with the
national colors, and the military
uniform worn by Mrs. Wallace, made
the car a striking feature of the
spectacle.
The terms of the armistice strips
the enemy of every vestage of power,
and will eliminate that once naughty
autocracy from the military powers
of the world.
Speaking of clowns, Will Sellick
and Jay Hinckley are no novices.
The Kaiser is said to have taken
refuge in Holland. 1t is very doubt
ful however if he will be permitted
TO rest there in peace. The Allied
nations will undoubtedly insist that
he be brought to trial for his in
nnmerable crimes against humanity
and the world.
The handiwork of artist Wint Rey-
Bolds was manifest all along the line
Of parade on the numerous floats.

getting everything ready, and con-
tributed his bit to the success of the
big event.
All business was suspended and
every man woman and child in the
community participated in the cele-
Dration.
The various departments Of the
school marched in body and made
fine showing.
The store roofs were lined with
Sharp Shooters" who kept up con.
tinual bambardment while the parade
was passing through Main street.
A huge "Horse Fiddle" contributed
so the miscellaneous conglomeratior
0f sounds in the parade.
The local celebration last weel
Thursday was all right even though
a was a little premature. 1t wa

the recent election, the victory 70
Woman Suffrage, and to get in a littl
practice for the big event which wa
RULED off on Tuesday.
If any of he surrounding town
need the services of a real honest t
goodness band, one that can max
more noise in a minute than almos
any other organization could in
week, just address Jake Reid. Jak
has a band that can beat anything
from a tin pan TO wash tub.

J. Paw plans to pull off another cele
bration which will at least be tn
