PHILIP CELEBRATES
SIGNING ARM|STICE

The news that peace had been
declared was received in Philip
early Monday but there was nc
demonstration, most of the peo
pie feeling that it was better to
wait the official announcement.
However, in the afternoon the
following message was received
by Mayor Walpole and the prin.
cipal business houses closed for
the balance of the day:
"The signing of the armis-
tice and the declaration of
peace being sufficient justi-
fication, l hereby declare
this a legal holiday. Notify
all towns in your vicinity"
Peter Norbeck, Governor.
In the evening the band, or so
much of it as could be assembled
started the program and the
bells in the town added to the
demonstration. A large bonfire
was started at the corner of
Railroad Street around which
the band and singers marched.
Many people came in from the
country and a good sized crowd
assembled although the order
of the board of health prevented
a demonstration on much larger
scale. Nevertheless. everybody
was happy in the thought the
war was over and that the boys
overseas may be expected home
in the near future.

army camps who have not com
pleted their training will be turn
ed back as far as possible. The
local boards have already receiv
ed word to cancel future calls o1
men from this county.

terms of Germany's surrender:
Cessation of operations by land
and in the air six hours after the
signing of the armistice.
Immediate evacuation of in.
| vaded countries to be completed
within fourteen days after the
signing of the armistice. Ger
man troops who have not left
the territory mentioned within

Mothers Heart to Mothers Heart.

Mothers heart can reach out TO
mothers heart clear across the coun-
try wherever there are soldier boys,
thanks to an editorial in the August
Pictorial Review telling of the work
OF War Camp Community Service.
1t was only a little editorial which
stated in substance that if any moth
e. would write to the War Camp
Community Service and tell it's rep
resentative that she had a boy in
the camp nearby, a mother would be
found in that community glad to
give him a smile and a word OF good
cheer all his own.
This simple little statment has re-
suited in a deluge of letters to the
go representatives of War Camp
Community Service in the communi-
ties adjacent to our great training
camps, cantonments and naval sta
tions. A mother in Des Moines, Ia,
has written to Jacksonville. Fla, that
she has a boy in training at Camp
Johnston. She asks for the name of
boy in Camp Dodge near Des
Moines SO that she can reciprocate
the attentions which she has asked
for her son.
A sister in Far River, Okla, has
written to Rockford. Ill: Il have a
brother in Camp Grant. He is %
years old, and never was there a boy
who loved his Mother and brothers
and sisters more. II am sure
any Mother would never regret hav-
ing him invited into her home. 1t Is
not financial aid / ask, just small

wrote to Dear Mothers with boys

are at Camp Grant and she wants
for them the little personal atten.

give" She added: Il wish it might
be my privilege in some way to ai(
enc of your sons"
