( Inc committees wish to remind the
people of our city again of that day
eight years ago when every one cele-
; brated the cessation of the World
War hostilities. The city will have a
| holiday of real fun as well as q day
suitably dedicated to those who so
! honorably served our country
| When the lids pop off this morn
/ ing, no one will find it necessary to
question his neighbor as to the rea-
| son for the general tumult The
! celebration has been boosted big and
will go over big.
The parade is going to be nothing
i less than a spectacular feature.
| School children will march with
many of the local organizations
There will be floats and decorated
cars galore and Boy Scouts and Girl
| Scouts and real scouts of all kinds.

Yes, the parade is going to be long
and attractive and interesting, and
above ALL significant of the day.
And what are you going to do to-
night? Leave 1t to Jane! Jane
knows. Make personal call on
Jane at the City Opera House and
have few things proven to you in
regard to Waterville talent. What do
you think the boys and girls have
been rehearsing all this time fora
deaf and dumb show? Nay. There's
nothing dumb or dizzy about this
troupe. It's there with everything in
the matter Of talent histrionic and
terpsychorean aptitude. The play is
clever, and the cast is-wen, size 1t
up tonight, the little gods of disap-
pointment have been banished from
the city today.
And IL you don't particularly care
to exercise your eyes and ears. then
what about your feet. The ballroom
floor at Elks' hall has been generous
" waxed, the orchestra engaged, and
the order of dances ready for the
pencil Nothing short of paralytic
shock or a cataIeptic fit should keep
YOU from doing a few poetic numbers
across the polished oaken floor.
But Test We forget" at the ELEV-
ENTH hour of the day, let your
thoughts revert back to the same
moment eight years ago when the
Legion boys who are with us today
lined the trenches Of France. How we
celebrated that day, thinking of the
return of our boys. There here to-
day-those who returned-let's show
our appreciation by entering into the
program they have prepared for us.
and show the George N. Bourque
Post, American Legion, that Water
VILE is alive from its feet up.
