President Wilson Announces Arrnistice Terms
MANNING CELEBRATES I
SIGNING OF ARNISTICE

When the news was confirmed in
Manning Monday morning that Ger
many had signed the armistice, every
body was ready to celebrate. The first
demonstration was the blowing of the
siren of the fire truck, then the
fire bell. A great many people had
not heard the good tidings, and when
the fire alarm was sounded they
rushed to their phones to ask where
the fire was, but the girls in central
office had gotten wise, and they left
the job to the Kaiser if he wanted it.
They couldn't be blamed, for who
could work when America had won
such victory?
The fire truck came out with the
firemen on it, and drove over town
spreading the news. In few minutes
the oil mill '"wild cat" whistle tore
loose, and if "Abdicating Bill" and the
"Clown Prince" had been a few miles
nearer to Manning, they would have
heard it, and thought their side part
ner, the devil, was calling them home.
Monday was day long to be re-
membered, in fact never to be forgot
ten. At twelve o'clock the parade
headed by the fire truck, and loaded
with firemen and Red Cross nurses
followed by about fifty automobiles,
paradcd the streets for an hour.
Everybody cheering, horns blowing
and bells ringing gave the old town
en- appearance that she has never wit
messed before. The schools closed and
all business was suspended for the
day. The school children marched
down to the court house square, sing
ing war songs and waving flags.
Prayer was offered by Rev. McCord
of the Presbyterian church, and Rev.
Smith, of the Methodist church, made
Il few patriotic remarks. Then Mayor
Coffey, who was too full of Joy and
happiness for the great victory won
to make a speech, just threw the
town wide open for celebration, and
with the rest of our patriotic people
he joined in and helped make the day
a great occasion.

SEAMAN WILLIE CE|CER
WRITES HOME FROM
SYDNEY, NOVA SCOTIA
Sidney, N. S., Nov. 2, 1913.

Sidney, N. s., Nov. 2, 1918
Dear Papa:
AS | just came over from the dock,
thought that would write you let
ter and then go down and enjoy my
liberty. l would have written to you
from the ship, but all Of the mail is
censored and | wanted to say Il few
things that doubt if the censor
would pass. AS this Is Saturday we
have shore liberty from one this af-
ternoon until ten-thirty tonight, and
on Sundays from ten y. NJ. until ten
thirty p. NJ.
Well, first | suppose that you would
like to know why we ever came to
Nova Scotia when | wrote you that
we would go to France direct from
Norfolk. Well, we lert Norfolk on
Oct. 9, with Il convoy for France, and
our ship, which developed only four
knots an hour fell behind the othets,
which were making seven knots, and
so we headed for Sydney to catch an
other which left about nine days ago.
We would have gone with it, but our
water pumps in the engine room went
to the bad and we are now having
them replaced by new ones.
There is another convoy that leaves
from here on next Friday, and the
captain said last night that if he miss.
ed that one that we would go alone.
He surely is a fine man. | went into
his room last Sunday morning and he
! was reading his Bible. He says that
he has carried two ships through the
sub zone already withol: Il convoy,
! and if need be we will have to get
our cargo to France without convoy,
or a gun for protection. He says thai
if the crew has the determination tc
go over that you need not worry abouL
not getting there.
Well, Papa, there is not much more
that | could write about, unless yGu
would like to know little about Sgd
ncy. 1t is Il town of about twenty
| thousand people and has very fine
| harbor. 1t rains up her almOS. ~

The sun is shining today for the first
time since we came here. The people
are interested in the Victory Loan
more than anything else at present.

but not in volume"
Al activities of the food administra-
ton will be continued through the
armistice period, said Mr.. Hoover,
adding that "ther will be no erlaxa-
tion Of efforts to keep down profiteer-
ing to the last moemnt."
"The maintenance of the embargo"
he continued, "will prevent depletion
