SOPHIA CHATTER

Well, ! guess everyone hailed this
Monday morning with a greater joy
than they did last Monday a week
ago.
Just one week ago today one hun
dred of our boys were enroute to
Beaver City to join the colors and
enter training camps. But, like a
soothing balm to the sick, came the
welcome message to the weary, heart
sore mothers, the Old Kaiser had sur
rendered. and to hold our boys "a
hours. 1t to us mothers was one of
the greatest messages that ever
came V the wires. No only TO the
one hundred mothers alone, but I o
many hundred Of mothers all owe
the land. Think of what IL meant!
War Closed, Hostilities ceased!
means the return to their loved ones
of many boys who were going to
camp, many all ready in camp, and
many (though not alb who have
gone overseas, and we are as a nation
at peace, once more. What could be
more grand? Only one thing remains
to make our joys complete that is the
just punishment of the Old Kaiser
and his lawless gang of murderers.
Away with the Kaiser forever!
Mr.. and Mrs. C. +. Lindauer spent
Sunday night with his brothers, Lee
and Lloyd Lindauer. Thinking ii
would be their last night together for
some time as the boys were scheduled
10 leave for training camp on Mon
day. But Gott and Old Bill fell out
so God closed the war, and Old Bill
skipped out.
