Do you remember November IL,
1918, when we really believed a
war had been fought to end wars?
That was &c years ago Saturday
and on Main Street, as elsewhere,
we who remember went quietly
about our business as usual, saying
little about the days significance,
recalling much When at last
there is an Armistice Day for
World War II, it will not be the
same, for experience has taught
us that ideals and promises, unless
carried out, do not end wars-and
that the Armistice Day to which
we look forward will mean as lit
tie as the one just past, unless the
future generation is more wary,
and more wise, than We who cele-
brated November IL, 1918, with
such wild enthusiasm.
Storm scene, not far from Main
Street, Sunday Clouds hung
heavy and dark in the sky, rain
swept across the open fields in
chilling, drenching sheets as the
gale flattened alfalfa to the ground
and uprooted tumble weeds that
raced madly before its force
Standing close together along the
entire road fence of a large field,
stood row of cattle, heads down,
backs to the storm An illustra-
ton of herd instinct pitted against
the elements. they waited side by
side, as if in stalls, for the storm
to end.
Seen Thursday at a Main
Street drug store counter,
where an old timer was eat

disapprovaI "Many a fool
would have burned his mouth"
remarked the old timer, as he
