~~~o '~~~ '~SOS We
well attended at Siletz. The lit
tie church was full and overflow
ing. The community seemed to
feel the importance of this festi-
val occasion more than ever be-
fore. The world war had come
to a close. The carnage and
obstruction of contending armies
had come to an end. The dove
of pace is lowering over the
world and everyone seemed to
rejoice. Germany with a trained
army of seven and half million
men had been conquered and
the Kaiser, head of the imperial
army, had left his own people
and fled to Holland in great
haste for safety and protection.
1t is time foT rejoicing and jubi-
lation as We hope the world is
now made safe for Democracy
the rule Of the people. The world
seems to take on new life as the
roar of cannon and smoke of
battle passes away. The stars
shinS brighter and the music in
the forest and dale seems to
sound sweeter. The exercises
werai opened with that grand old
Hymn, "All Hail the Power of
Jesus name" in which the aud
lance joined enthusiastically.
III, T.. The Harvest Time is
Hare" Prayer by the Pastor
and scriptural reading of the las
and $50 Psalms. Thanksgiving
sermon by Rev. Walter Ross,
text, Psalm 103, verses and 2;
BLESS the Lord o my soul, and
all that is within me. Bless his
Holy Name. Bless the Lord o
my soul end forget not all his
bsnefits." Song by the choir,
THE Flag" Fifteen or twenty
minutes were devoted to singing
OF s2cred and patriotic songs.
The choir had practiced a good
deal and the singing was of a
high order.
Siletz has tried to keep the
home fires burning since we en-
tered the war and have met all
the demands in the way of buy
ing Liberty bonds, War Stamps,
and Liberty leans that have been
required of us, have always gone
over the top in our efforts to win
the war, have furnished thirty
three soldiers and have two gold
stars in our Service Flag. The
Kaiser may go back and ascend
his throne. If he does we will
help to knock him off again. The
Kaiser with his associates in
crime and brutality should be
tried by court martial and if
found guilty suffer the same
penalty as ether murders as a
warning that such crimes and
atrocities will not be permitted
again among a civilized people.
The Siletz Fir & Spruce Com
pany are now planning lumber
left over preparatory to saving
again when the logs can be put
in the river. The soldier boys
that belong to the Spruce Divi-
sion are leaving for Vancouver
to be mustered out Of the ser
vice. When they are gone, their
places will have to be supplied by
civilian labor. When that is done
and the mills owned by private
parties the work will start up
again as it was before the wal
closed. We look for continued
good times in Lincoln County
The big mill at Toledo will nc
doubt be run by privata capital
This will give employment to
hundreds of people.
A Thanksgiving dinner will be
served at Siletz In the Govern.
