November.


November's here, with land
scapes drear and winds that
chill the human gizzard; they
seem to sigh, as they wfiz by,
Prepare, prepare, for winters
blizzardY y. The trees are. bare !;
as in despair, before the winds
they writhe and totter the skies
are bleak, and often leak lot of
cheap denatured water. Novem-
ber's here; the dismal year is
growing feeble, halt and sickly !;
he'll cash his checks and join the
wrecks in times world-famous
boneyard quickly. Thus years
roll on; they come, they're gone !;
they seem to linger for a second !;
they come and grin, and they're
all in before their curves are
fairly reckoned. A year quite
new looms up in view, year
that's bold and blithe and clever !;
so full of pep his >buoyant step
you'd think that, he would last
forever. But while you look he
shrinks, gadzook!. The bloom is
from his cheek departed; his
shanks grow lean, and he is seen
a gafer bent and broken-heart-
ed. November's here, the fields
are sere, the flowers, indoors,
are safely potted; the birds are
gone from hedge and lawn, the
seasons flies have all been swat
ted. The Teuts are whipped !;
they're badly hipped by too
much kultur, too much hating !;
Thanksgiving day, not far away,
looms up as something worth
awaiting. WALT MASON.

November IL, Victory Day.

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t is possible that the idea Of hence
forth concentrating the 18th Of No
vember as a national holiday has not
as yet suggested itself to any one;
but surely such an idea is in the
highest degree justifiable in that it
will recall to our minds and to the
minds Of those who are to come after
US the most stupendous event in the
history Of any nation-stupendous in
the undertaking as we'll as in the re-
suits, and so far and SO swiftly sur
passing our most sanguine expecta-
lions. 1t is not too much to say that
never: since the dawn Of Christianity
has there been anything that has 60
deeply. so powerfully and so init
mately affected civilized humanity as
did the signing of the ,armistice on
the 18th of November. 1918. Whether
by statute or by common consent, that
should indeed be a holiday.

ICE NEARLY OUT
AT UPPER TOWN
Chena Slough Is Open Fo- Con.
siderable Distance-Just Below
Official Flag.

The ice moved in Cinema slough
in front of Fairbanks today, but
unfortunately for those who had
picked today for the general break
up, the official flag, which was
implanted in the ice a short distance
above the government bridge. still
stands undisturbed. The ice sheet
parted at a point a few feet below
the flag and moved quietly down
stream, leaving the time of the off
cial breakuy still matter of much
uncertainty. Bets are not payable
until the flag passes beneath the
bridge.
The slough is now open between
the bridge and the shipyard and
it is estimated that the general
breakup may not occur for another
day or so. 1t cannot be long de-
layed, however, as the water is rising
rapidly and may start a movement
of the ice at any moment.

PUBLIC MEETING
TO Be HELD FOR

At Fire Hall Tonight At
Seven O'Clock.

A public meeting will be held at
the fire hall tonight for the pur-
pose of discussing fire protection

partment, of which the town stands
greatly in need at the present time.

are invited to attend. The meeting
has been called for seven o'clock.
The need of greater protection
was discussed at a meeting of the
Nenana Commercial club, two weeks
ago, and the call for public meet
ing is the result of a conference be-
tween members of the club and the
townsite manager.
The town possesses a perfectly
good chemical engine and. within a
very short time, fire hydrants will
be installed throughout the business
section, with sufficient water pres
sure to render fire fighting effective
But at present there are no fire
fighters, other than the fire chief,
either to man the chemical or to
operate the hose attached to one of
the hydrants. And it is for the pur-
pose of remedying this state of
affairs that the meeting has been
called. Everybody is invited to at.
