ARMISTICE DAT PLANS WELCOMED

VERSATILE PROGRAM IS BEING ARRANGED FOR BY COMMITTEES IN CHARGE. • Plans tending toward the comJasper county on Tuesday, November 11, the day that Kaiser Bill and his horde threw up the sponge and acknowledged that the allies had won, are being rushed rapidly and from all indications the program being arranged will be of a nature , that will please each and every sol’dier." It is to be something different than the usual run of patriotic ■ day celebrations' and will be of a kind that will leave a good taste in the mouth of the soldier bgy after it ,is aIF over? THe tiresome events ! that have marked celebrations of a 1 patriotic sort since the beginning i of time are to be absent, and No-

I vember 11 will mark the epoch of a plunge into something that augurs well for the permanent popularity of the day. ? The various committees in charge of the celebration are going at theirwork with enthusiasm and it seems that the War Mothers have struck a popular chord of approval with the citizenry as well as the soldier in their determination to show to the soldier the respect in which he is held by the community. The entire day’s program has not been perfected as yet, and until the plans of entertainment have been definitely completed no publication of them will be made. In the meantime the former khaki-clads will have to mark time and wait for the good things that are in store for them. Providing the weather man does not go on a spree, there should be an immense crowd in the city on Armistice day, and the attractions which are being secured are bound to lure many from distant points. The soldiers are not being urged to wear thgir uniforms, but it would be a- source of mueh- pleasure -to the War Mothers and others interested if they would do so.
