needed something to keep the paint
on his trousers. He used an old
American flag, not thinking of what
he was doing. A few days before he
bought q new flag and hung it out

SIGNIFICANCE OF PEACE

Gooding Leader: History will record
the events OIL the past week as among
the greatest of all time. We living in
this age can hardly realize the full
armistice with Germany means. The
event was so tremendous, so fraught
with meaning for the generations to
come that il is mighty difficult for us
to have any adequate idea of just what
it all means. We are so accustomed to
big news in this war, to things trans
niring on so tremendous a scale that
the mind of man has a difficult time
in grasping the far-rcaching effects
that the signing of the armistiee will
have.
History is being made so fast these
h. he average mind will be-
come dizzy to even attempt to grasp
the whole of it. History will probably
record that this war is one of the
greatest turning points in the trans
actions of mankind. The world can
never be the same again. And now
that we more fully realize than we did
just what was going OH among the arch
criminals and conspirators of Europe,
no sane and just man wants the world
10 he the same again. The German war
