ARMISTICE DAY IS HERE, BUT WHO KNOWS

One year ago tomorrow the war actually end
ed by the signing of the armistice terms by Ger
many. Since that day practically all of our boys,
who in France at that time or upon the sea
IN the navy, have returned home, and we have al
ready begun to forget the horrors, hardships and
heartaches of those days. Too, we have apparent
ly already forgotten entirely the joys of that mem
orahle day when the church and school bells rang
throughout the land business was completely sus-
pended; and the entire day given over to spon-
saneous revelry and thanksgiving
Ten months ago the Times-Recorder suggest
ed movement for memorial of some sort to the
boys of Sumter who went to war-some of whom
never came back There was almost no response
Those in authority were too busy, Just then, but
promised to take up the matter later. Evidently
they have been continually too busy, for nothing
has yet been done
oome weeks ago movement was started for
giving wecome-home barbecue to the soldiers
and ex-soldiers 1t was little as could be done
for them, The War Camp Community service,
then still functionng here, had some $500 in cash
10 give to the affair. But leadership again failed,
and nothing has been done.
The news for the last two months from every
where has been filled with plans of various cities
and towns for the celebration of Armistice Day.
IN which the returned soldiers were to be the guests
OF the community. Even the local post of the
American Legion suggested the matter-the sold
iers themselves-but apparently nobody who
might be properly looked to for civic leadership
was interested and again nothing has been done
What is the matter with Americus? Are we
dead2 Have we no leadership Do we really lack
community spirit, as has been charged among our
selves? Are we ungrateful? Is it true that we are
continually taking much and giving as little as
possible? Sometimes it looks that way
Americus has many things to be proud Of
but generosity and grateuness to its returned sold
Ieis whom it forgets SO easily, is not one Of them
And there are Others

SENATOR REED KNOWS-AND THE REST
SHOULD KNOW

Senator Reed of Missouri, found out few
weeks ago what the people of Ardmore, Okla,
thought OF his fight on the peace treaty Since
then he has been receiving epeatedly unmistakable
information to the desires of the people every
where on the treaty fight A few days ago the
Chamber of Commerce of SedaIia, in Reeds own
state by its board of directors wired both of the
Missouri United States senators urging them to
strive for quick action toward definite disposal oi
the pending peace treaty. Senator Reed wired a
reply insisting upon being informed whether this
action purely spontaneous, or was on the re-
quest of someone
The next day this reply was wired Senator
Reed:
The Sedalia Chamber of Commerce has al
ways been initiatve-it does not wait to follow OF
accept dictation from anyone The request wired
you was spontaneous-t is liable to become com.
bustlble, business men are very tired of the
senates wind jamming and want the peace treaty
disposed of now
Americus times-recorder., 1919-11-10

ney general if the striking miners had lived up tc
their contracts, collective barganers, with the
coal operators, there would now be no coal strike
and, if it came at ALL it would occur sometime
next spring when the contracts expire and when
such action would not cause conditions so danger
Gus to the welfare of the country as at the
time, just on the verge of winter.
Of course, it might be possible for these oper-
ators to go into court and get judgments against the
individual miners their unions for breach of con-
tract but there would probably be an entire nabiI-
ity to collect anything on such Judgments
Here then is the real trouble about the collec-
tive bargaining scheme: 1t doesn't work both WAYS.
And if organized labor is going to continue to in
sst upon the making of collective bargains and the
binding of the other parties by such bargains it is
likely soon to be required to reciprocate by giving
to these parties legal assurance possibly in the form
OF bonds, with good and sufficient securities, guar
anteeing that labors part of the bargains will be
carried out in good faith either by actual perform
ance or by the payment of such damages as NAV
be awarded by the court

THE COP.

Oh, the cop gets princely wages, just to hear
and sympathize, when we'd vent our futile
RACES and hand out some sobs and sghs, He is
standing on the corner in his uniform Of blue,
and he'll weep With any mourner who would
raise howdydo. Tell your troubles to the
copper, an attentive ear he lends; it's immoral
and improper if you spring them your
friends We all have our little sorrows, in each
breast some sorrows lodge, and of wis
dom borrows any trouble he can dodge SO
when you are approaching with fresh griev-
ances supplied, don't need lot of coaching,
ere run away and hide Tell your troubles to
the peeler, he will fatten on your wall; he will
list to every spieler as he leans against the jail;
oh, he leans against the prison, and teeters on
his toes and princely wage is his'n just be-
cause he hears your woes. All your griefs are
old and hoary, and of WEAKNESS they're full;
go tell your dismal story to the nearest har-
ness bull.

BEET SEASON DRAWS TO A
CLOSE-ARVADA BENEFITS

The sugar beet season has drawn
to close this week at Arvada, the
last car going out Wednesday.
Attic the season has been very
unfavorable to the crop. the output
in this section has almost doubled as
compared to last yeaN, being "A car
loads as against 26 last year.
The acreage sown was about twice
that of last year, but considerable
portion was planted too late to get a
stand, owing to the dry season, which
set in early and prevented the seed
from sprouting. Another thing that
worked against it was the ground be-
ing new and contaminated with the
growth of alfalfa and former crops.
However, some of the fields yield
ed exceptionally well, among them
being Cyril Holley of Wheat Ridge,
leading with 90 tons, C. l.. Brinker-
huff, 20, and George Swadlcy ls.
There We're AZ growers in this Sec
ton and the sum total was about
1000 tons, the proceeds of which
amounted to about $4,000. Added
to this was the salaries paid to the
men on the dump, also the field man,
which brings the entire earnings to
be distributed in this locality, around
$4,000. Had conditions been nor
NAL it is believed that ut least rs
car loads would have been shipped.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable
conditions, the farmers who have de-
voted their efforts to beet raising IRE
not discouraged. and the prospects
are that still greater effort will be
put forth next year.
There now seems to be some talk
of the possibility of sugar factory
for this section, and If everybody
would boost for It, no one can pre-
dict what the possibilities would
afford.
John L, Miller and w. T.. Peterson
have been employed as wcighers and
leaders at the local station, which is
located at the tramway bridge, on
