PARTING SHOT IS
 GIVEN OUR OLD
 FRIEND THE WAR
Thousands of American Big Guns BOomed as the Hour of II Struck-All the Soldiers RejOiced.

With the American Army on the Sedan Front, Nov. II, D. m.-Thou- sands of American heavy guns fired the parting shot to the Germans at exactly eleven o'clock this morning.
 Before II o'clock on the entire American front from the Moselle to the region of Sedan, there was artil- lery activity in the n orning all the Vos.
 At many batteries the artillerists joined hands, forming a long line as the Lanyard of the final shot. There was a few seconds of silence as the shells shot through the heavy mist. Then the gunners cheered.
 American flags were raised by the soldiers over their dugouts and guns and at the various headquarters. There was general rejoicing.
 There had been so many rumors of peace lately that the boys in the front lines were not inclined to believe the report ol lile SlSiIHS ol lne dFhllSllCe until their officers informed them that it was fact Then there was gen eral rejoicing.
 On Sunday both sides kept an in- hinder to each other that hte order to cease hostilities had not been received. With nightfall the duel became weak CT, each side awaiting the final word as to the set hour for desisting all firing of guns.

GERMANY IS IN CONTROL OF THE
 ALLIED POWERS
President Wilson, in an Address to Congress. Gives the Details Ut Will Re Impossible For Germany to Renew War.

Washington, Nov. ll.-Sgning of the armistice with Germany was pro claimed today by President Wilson who also announced it's terms at a joint session of congress.
 The terms herald the end of the war, because they take from Germany the power to renew it.
 Just before he went to the capitol the president in a proclamation ad dressed to his fellow countrymen said
 The armistcie was signed this morning, Everything for which America fought has been accomplish ed It will now be our fortunate duty to assist by example, sober friendly council and by material aid in the establishment of just democracy throughout the world"
 Stripped of it's malicious power, the military autocracy, it's masters driven to exile, stands before the worlds court of justice, having subscribed to the terms of surrender which prob ably will be recorded in history as the most drastic and complete ever meas ured out to a defeated foe.
 Reading of the full text of the terms discloses measures the United States and the allied governments have taken to guarantee that Ger many's acceptance shall not be a scrap of paper to insure the destruc- ton of the military caste, which once could secretly and of it's single choice disturb the peace of the world.
 When President Wilson concluded his exchange of notes with Prince MaXimilian, then chancellor, admins tration officials declared that if his course did not bring about what they hoped would be more than an mcon- ditional surrender, it might bring about revolution in Germany.
 Pointing today to the Hohenzollern dynasty, dethroned and eXiled, the peoples revolution sweeping Germany and the terms of the armistice, these officials felt their predictions amply fulfilled.

REDDY FOX'S JOKE-Part ].

Little Reddy Fox was very fond of
playing jokes. and, like all those who
play such pranks. he got the worst OF 1T
one day, as you shall learn.
Little Reddy was very young fox,
and, of course, was not treated by the
wood folk like grown up, which some
times made Rcddy angry, and one night,
when he should have been asleep In his
bed. he listened to what was being said
under his window by some of the grown
UP wood folk.
II was Mr. Fox and Tim Coon. They
were planning the next moonlight night
70 go on picnic far away from the
halInts of men, and take along some chick
cns. eve will make n campfire and broi
them, said Mr.. Fox.
That will he good fun, said Tim Coon
II am sure Mr.. Possum and Jack Rabbit
will 90 along too.
Perhaps if Little Reddy Fox had
heard what they said rs they passed out
Of his hearing, he might not have played
the trick he did; but he did not hear them
say they would also ask Mr.. Bear. SO
he began to wonder what he could do to
pay them for not asking him TO 60 along.
The next day. rs Rcddy Fox was around
Mr.. Mans farm he saw hanging on the
line something that gave him start,
tor nc Thought 1t was old Mr., Bcaf, hhng-
ing head down
Rcddy thought the farmer must have
caught Mr.. Bear, but when he looked
again he saw it was big fur rug made of
a bcarskin. with the head and mouth SO
natural looking that it was very hard TO
believe il was not old Mr. Bear himself.
Must be some of old Mr.. Bears folks,
thought Reddy II declare, 1t looks
Just like him; looks almost fierce enough
for old Black Wolf too, he thought, and
right then and there Reddy Fox had an
idea

THE SILENCE TREATMENT.

Noise and nerves never get tn be
very good friends Probably be
cause they have never seemed TO
/ understand each other. More
likely because they arc funda-
mentally very opposite natures.
Noise is never so content as when
troubling nerves.
Nerves are never so happy as
when they are hundred miles or
so away from noise.
If about two-thirds Of the pill
factories would go out Of business,
this world would be happier place
! for people TO live in There IS too
much noise about. And the poor
i nerves get tired and shaky. Hence
|. the call for pills.
But the greatest treatment IN
! the world for "out-of-the-way'
nerves is the silence treatment
Where you and noise are not
|. together. And where YOU say to
vour nerves. well. nerves. here
we are-out with the trees, and
ground, and animals, and birds, and
! silence.
. How wonderful is silencei How
the odds and ends are gathered up
in silent land And how affairs get
quickly Strengthened up where
noise is absent.
The cheapest and most valuable
treatment in the world IS the silence
treatment.
