Message Approved.

New York, Nov. S.-Yesterday's an
nOuncement of the signing of the
armistice between Germany and the
allies was made by Admiral Wilson al
Brest and filed with Wilson'S approval
a cable from Roy w. Howard, shortly
before noon today stated.
Held Second Message.
, Al ALPHABETICALLY the same time another
message from Howard was delivered
which stated that Admiral Wilson
made an announcement at 4 p. m., say.
ing that a later notice did not confirm
the signing of the armistice. This
latter message by Howard did moi
show on its face whether it was sem
yesterday or how long it had been held
up. The United Press has asked the
government to ascertain how long Ad-
miral Wilson'S announcement and the
latter notice not confirming it were
held up. i
Towards cable indicated that viii
son acted in good faith.

Has Thresher Made in 1879.

Iowa Falls, Iowa, Nov. 9.-This
county probably holds the state record
when it to continuous service
for d threshing machine. Ed. Johns,
living in the southeast part of the cOun-
ty, has a machine that was made in
1879 and has been in service ever
since.
1t was built by the Aultman-TaylOr
company and is in good shape consider
ing the long years of service. 1t was
purchased by Frank and Nate Rains
barger and cost $1,000. To the young
err generation the old horse power, with
its sweeps at the power end of the out
fit, looks like a curiosity. The separa-
tor is small compared with those of a
later day type. Some years ago the
manufacturers offered MI. Johns a
new steam outfit for his equipment but
he preferred to. keep it for old times
sake.

Would like to state that in passing
through your city, Il total stranger, /
was met at the station by one of the
Red Cross girls and was given one of
the finest treats that it has been my ex-
perience to enjoy since enlisting in the

After riding all night with no Oppor-
tunity to get anything in the refresh.
ment line, it was, indeed, a great treat
to me. Also the genial smile and the
pleasant words of the one which pre-
scented them was refreshing in itself.
