With the arrival of snow and cold
weather the public skating rink will
be open to young and old. Completion

cutting the southern end of the ice
rink down about two feet. The en-
bankment on the north end was
thrown up about two feet higher than
the bottom of the tract on all sides.
The dirt surface will have to be flood
ed only few inches.
The local post Of the American
Legion and Elks Lodge have been ac-

ARE ENROLLED IN
FRENCH SCHOOLS

Paris, Nov. Five thousand Amer
lean students of all categories will be
found enrolled in the French univers-
tiles, and technical schools before
the autumn registrations are complet-
ed, to judge from present indications.
Last years enrolment, roughly 1000,

1924 and the university authorities
look for the same advance in the 1926

The American university union, in
the Boulevard Saint Germaine, is
swamped with demands for university
literature, as well as appeals for help
in finding rooms, engaging tutors and
the like.

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK
By Edison R.. Waite, Shawnee, Okla.

Julian S. Mason, Editor-in-C Chief of the
New York Evening Post says:
THAT town booming has been recogniz-
ed American industry ever since the emf
grants from the East crossed the Mississippi
on their way West-and even before that
THAT the West took it and developed it
into fine art
THAT Mr.. Sinclair Lewis in Rabbit"
makes fun of town-boosters without quite
compromising what they have done.
THAT they brought, for instance, to Chi
cago the famous Worlds Fair of 1893
THAT many Of the greatest improve
ments in New York City have come through
the vision and efforts of public spirited priv
ate citizens and commercial organizations.
THAT the modern science of Getty plan
ming" has been developed from the Boards
OF Commerce of communities who wanted to
make their towns better places to live in.
THEREFORE,, instead of feeling too SUI
perior to help the men who are helping your
community, you might far better get out and
spend time and money to back them up.

THE SERVICE FLAG AND ARMlSTICE DAY
The National War Mother Pleads For Observance
The Symbol of Service and of
HOthers' Devotion

There is one fag-you do not see
any more, for it is laid away these
eight years in lavander and Mother
Love, The Service Flag, with its one,
two, three and frequently more stars.
1t hung at the door Of ulti-thousands
of our homes as our heroes marched
away to defend their Country and it's
rights.
The Governments figures show A.

the American Forces during the World
War. There were killed in action
36,931. Died of wounds 1858.
We are asking you to assist the
American War Mothers in their ap-
peal to every person that had Serv-
ice Flag hung in their home during
the World War, signaling the passer-
by that member of that family had
answered their Country's call.
Let us re-consecrate the service of
our Soldier men and women by seeing
that the Service Flag we have put
away so carefully hangs at our door

of Armistice Day.
How many will gaze upon that
~
ton?
How many will look at the Service
Flag with Wife's Pride?
How many will point to the Service
Flag and say, "That represents my
Daddy?"
We predict it will become the most
tender, most beautiful heart touch

Willie Oppenheim who lives at GA
North Platt Avenue brought his re-
port card home from school the other
day. Willie is member of the
Fourth Grade over at the Field build
ing and he is bright boy. They say
that his mother used to be teacher
herself and one can we'll believe 1t
when he reaches the climax of this
fearful story.
Mrs. Oppenheim seated herself in an
easy chair and looked at the card long
and earnestly if not admiringly. She
didn't faint as there was no one
around the house at the time except
Willie.
"What do all these e's meant" she
took the liberty to inquire. Willie was
ready and he rose to the emergency.
why, he said, "they mean excel
lent. His mother reached down and
took off one of her new pumps and
remarked, "Willie you should receive
a nice Christmas present and | am
going to give you a dam good one
right now" And-she did.
The Drama
The date was November II, 1918.
The Place was somewhere in France.
The occasion-was memorable.
who are you gentlemen ?" Thus
Ferdinand Foch, Marshal of France,
rising from his map-covered desk in a
railroad car, which was his head
quarters, greeted the five men whom
Germany had sent to ask for the ar
mistice terms.
Out of the group of callers stepped
a middle-sized, black moustached man
in civilian clothes, of sauve manner
and immaculate dress. He was Ma
thias Erzeberger, the Centrist leader,
the first man in German history to
defy the militarist through reichstag
bloc. He bowed courteously, and re-
piled in perfect French: eve are the
representatives Of the German govern
ment, come to solicit an armistice'
For the speaker and his colleagues
this was indeed crushing formahty.
For weeks and months Germany had
tried desperately and dexterously to
avoid just this humiliating form. But
her efforts to arrange" an armistice
through President Wilson had failed.
However, "having to bite into the sour
apple" as an old German adage puts
it, the delegates did it with good
grace. 2
Erzberger then introduced each Of
his colleagues and one by one they sa-
luted the Allied representatives. With
Foch at the time were his right-hand
man, General Weygand, Vice Admiral
Sir Rosslyn Wemyss, first lord of the
British admiralty, and the American
Vice Admiral, William S. Sims.
Courteously, so1dier-like the Allied
representatives returned the Germans
salutes.
Then began one of the most import
ant conferences in the history of the
world.
