ENTERTAIN POLK'S SERVICE MEN Former service men will reign supreme in Independ ence today, The city has been turned over to, them with out reservation, and every effort will be made by a grateful citizenry to acknowledge that they have not forgotten. Armistice day is for rejoicing rejoicing that the good old ship is holding its course thanks to the sturdy boyfc who so ably assisted in guiding her during the trouble some days. Flags are at full mast, and yet the boys who made the supreme sacrifice are not forgotten. At noon there will be a great silent tribute for them in which the nation joins. At Arlington cemetery the country is honoring an un known soldier whose destiny ended in France. The v,hm.v.k jo ounuc moiiiiu wiutn wic wuuiioi 10 uunnig in humble gratitude. Conveyed from France, the remains of this unknown patriot are being deposited in the historic resting place of the country's illustrious soldier, dead. Buried with military pomp, with the country's highest dignitaries attendng, it is the symbolic honor which the people would like to bestow upon all who sacrificed their lives in the cause of humanity. Whence he came, no one know?, other than that he was an American soldier. Killed in action On the battlefield of France, his grave was marked "unknown." He has ful filled life's greatest obligation. Like thousands of others, he passed the supreme test, and now we are trying to" tell that young man and his "buddies" that the country's debt of gratitude is enduring. And yet the real purpose of this great day is net memorial. It is rather a time to reverently observe one of the greatest events of world history marking the climax fnr lihertv and civilization. It is a day es pecially set apart for those who actively participated in it. Independence is going to enter into the spirit of the day. Business will pause and patriotism will become rampant, finding expression in dsplay of the colors and other em blematic tokens. Through speeches an dmusic we are go ing to renew our allegiance to our country, and then there will be rejoicing in feasting and dancing. STUMPS AND RIDDELLS CAPTURE MANY GOAT PRIZES John B.
