Armistice Day to Be Celebrated in Jasper County. Tuesday, Nov. 11, the first anniversary of the signing of the armistice and the cessation of all fighting on the battlefields in France, will be observed in a fitting manner all over the United States, and in Rensselaer promises to be one of the largest celebrations in the history of our city. The War Mothers, with the assistance of the people of the entire county, have been working diligently for several weeks, sparing no time or expense, in an effort to provide entertainment for our returned soldiers, in whose honor the celebration will be held. Armistice day has not as yet been designated as a national holiday, but no doubt will be and will become even more popular perhaps than July 4, Independence day. An all-day entertainment is planned for everyone and people from all over the county and Neighboring counties are urged to visit our city on this day and help to celebrate the greatest day in the history of our country.
