Ray Celebrates Peace
Ray celebrated the signing Of the
armistice which meant the end of the
war in characteristic manner AS
soon as the news was received from
Phoenix, the Ray Cons big whistle
was tied down, and bedlam broke
loose. Church bells rang, guns and
revolvers were fired, and practically
everybody in the camp turned out to
celebrate around huge bonfire which
had been started downtown. Here
the kaiser was burned in effigy amid
the cheers of the assembled multi
tude.
After this part of the celebration
was over, somebody rounded up the
Ray Con. Club band, and the whole
crowd filed down to the Red Cross
pavilion, where dancing was enjoyed
from 4 o'clock in the morning until Z.
The merchants and business men
declared a holiday and closed their
places Of business for the day. In the
evening dance was again held at the
Red Cross pavilion and was attended
by the largest crowd that ever at
tended a dance lin Ray. The music
was furnished by the Ray Con- Club
band. DR.. W. G. Carson raised the
quarantine for outdoor performances
only for the extent of three days so
that the celebration of the end of the
world war could be given it's due.
E. A. Mercer manager of the Owl

Three cheers for the people of Ray!
Once again Ray has gone over the
top, this time with an oversubscrip-

monthly for war purposes. Then
came the Ray CONS subscription OF
$95,OOO of which $17,250 was credited
to Ray, $17,25O to Hayden, and $500
to Kelvin.

fire to different houses on five of the
principal squares.
Then they ordered every one to leave
his house, and those who did not were
shot The others, about four hundred

NEVER AGAIN!

Nothing could be more unjust to Ia
Dor than to represent it as wanting the
saloon or it's vicious association" says
tile Admission (Ala.) Star. "Had 1t not
been for the labor vote the saloon could
not have been wiped out Of existence
in this state. Were it not for the labor
vote there would be no hope Of keep
ing it out of the state. That is why
the ants are going to profess such in
terest in labor and the labor vote.
What part has labor with the liquor
traffic? Why should they want to per.
petuate the scurrilous business? Let
the liquor crowd tell the laboring man
why they want him to have the bad
business on their hands! They dare
not do so! They dare not insult the
intelligence and the common sense of
the laboring people by trying to say
what the liquor business means for
them.
"Once upon time he may have
thought he needed his drink; once up.
on a time he may have felt that he
was suffering personal invasion Of
rights when the saloon by the vote of
his fellow citizens was taken out Of
the community, but he does not feel SO
now. Never again, says the laboring

LINCOLN ON THE TEMPERANCE
REVOLUTION.


An early speech of Abraham Lin
coins, says a magazine writer, "does
not appear to have been quoted as
often as some others. One wonders
why" Speaking in Fourth Of July
vein, Lincoln said:
"Of our political revolution Of 1776
we are all justly proud. 1t has given
US degree of political freedom, far
exceeding that of any other of the
nations Of tine earth. In it the world
has found a solution Of the long moot
ed problem as to the capability of the
man to govern himself. In it was the
germ which has vegetated, and still is
to grow and expand into the universal
liberty of mankind"
Turn now" he proceeded, ito the
temperance revolution, in it we shall
find stronger bondage broken, a viler
slavery manumitted, greater tyrant
deposed. In it more of want supplied,
more disease healed, more sorrow as
suaged. BY it no orphans starving, no
widows weeping. By it none wounded
in feeling, none injured in interest.
Even the drammaker, and dramseller,
will have glided into other occupations
so gradually as never to have felt the
shock Of change, and will stand ready
to join all others in the universal song
of gladness."

COULD ANYTHING BE SIMPLER
Yet Probably Many Who have Sud-
denly Dismounted From Mule
Never Saw Things That Way.

A young soldier was watching the
efforts Of his fellow privates to ride q
refractory mule. Not one Of them
could stay on its back for two sec
onds. 81 z, -.
AT last the looker-on approached and
drawled:
81 say. let me show you how it's
done.'
"Come on, them" said the soldiers.
The youth sided up to the mule,
swung himself on the animals back,
wrapped his legs beneath its body
and took firm hold on the reins. The
mule made slight effort to dislodge
him, but the man stuck. Another
slightly more strenuous effort by the
mule also failed. Then, laying his ears
back, and taking deep breath, the
mule shot his heels into the air at an
angle Of 65 degrees, and the young
man was propelled to the ground.
He slowly arose to his feet screwed
his fare into smile, and said:

This Belgian had escaped by hiding
he could not remember how many
days-in an old cart filled with manure
and rubbish. He had chewed old hides
for food, had swan across the river,
and hid in a mud bank for almost a
week longer, and finally got to France.
He took it very hard when we talked
about Dixmude, and 1 told him that
the old church was just shot to pieces.
He asked about painting called the
Alteration of the Magi,' and one of
the other prisoners told us it had been
saved and transported to Germany. If
that is true, and they do not destroy

Laid Up for Repairs.

One night, after had been at Dix

q charge in the face of very heavy
Are. Our captain always stood at the
parapet when we were going over, and
made the sign of the cross and shouted,
''For God and France" Then we would
go over. Our officers always led us,
but have never seen German officer
lead charge. They always were be-
hind their men, driving instead of lead
ing. do not believe they are as brave
as they are said to be.
Well, we went over this time, and
the machine guns were certainly going
1t strong. We were pretty sore about
the chaplain and the Swiss and all
that, and we put up an awful fight, but
we could not make it and had to come
back. Only one company reached the
Boche trenches and not man of it
came back who had not been wounded
on the way and did not reach the
trench. They were just wiped out.
The captain was missing, too. We
thought he was done for, but about
two o'clock In the morning, he came
back. He simply fell over into the
trench, all in. He had been wounded
four times, and had lain in a shell
crater full of water for several hours.
He would not 60 back for treatment
then, and when daylight came, it was
too late, because we were practically
cut off by artillery fire behind the front
line trenches.
When daylight came, the artillery
fire opened up right on us, and the
Germans had advanced their lines into
some trenches formerly held by us and
hardly forty-fve yards away. We re-
ceived bombs and shells right In our
faces. A Tunisian in our company got
crazy, and ran back over the parados.
He ran a few yards, then stopped and
looked back at us. I think he was
coming to his senses, and would have
started back to us. Then the spot
where he had been was empty, and a
second later his body from the chest
down fell not three yards from the
parados. I do not know where the
top part went. That same shell cut a
groove in the low hilltop before it ex-
pkoded. He had been hit by big
shell, and absolutely cut in two. l
have seen this happen to four men, but
this was the only one in France.
About seven o'clock, we received re-
endorsements, and poured fresh troops
over and retook the trench. No sooner
had we entered it, however, than the
Germans turned their artillery on us,
not even waiting for their own troops
to retire safely. They killed numbers
