Manhattan is well satisfied with Armistice day celebration. Many he nomes of the city had out and most of the stores in the business section decorated their windows. crowds lined the streets to see parades that were arranged for Lorencon and evening. Saved at Last Moment. Manhattan would have had no celeoration at all if a group of men not taken the thing in hand and very short notice started plans a celebration of one of the biggest events in history.
Not Much Time for Some criticism has been heard sianhattan that the parade did mount to much. That is admittedly crue, says the committee, but it felt that some demonstration was betcer than none at all, and that parade was organized On very short notice. Other comments have been heard that the celebration was all right, and that next year the Armistice day celebration would be taken in hand early and made a big affair. These people said that the spirit shown the people in closing their business and turning out to the game, parades. and trial of the kaiser, showed that the people had not forgotten the meaning of the day, and that the demons ration from that standpoint was a grand success.
11 o'Clock Announced. When 11 o'clock struck, the fact that just one year ago the armistice, was signed, stopping fighting on all fronts, was announced by the blow. of the whistles, ringing of bells, and the volley of shots by the cadet corps. The parade that came down from the college failed a little of what way expected of it because college classes were out earlier than had been at expected and most of the stuhad left the hill before the parade started, and did not join, Varsity-Freshmen, 0-0. The football game between the varsity and the freshmen was an ex cellent exhibition of football and re- game.

The kaiser and his "clown" prince were shot, as they should have been, but the devil slipped out some and did not receive his just dues.
The Bar association wrote most of play while 'the audience wa3 gathering and it was quite an im promptu affair.

Part of the old dam was used in constructing the coffer dam, which is upstream, and turns the water so that the spit where the new dam is to be will be left dry for the workmen.
As soon as this part of the dam is completed the flood gate can be opened, and the coffer dam be built so that the other side of the river bed will be left dry and that part of the dam constructed. Two car loads of reinforcement steel have been received at the construction camp, and four car loads of cement. The wooden forms that will give shape to the new concrete dam are built. Four pumps are busy emptying out the water from around the place in the riverbed where the foundation for the new dam will be. Sacks of sand have been laid around this spot to keep the water out.
Mr. Arthur Groesbeck of the Rocky Ford Milling and Power company states that as many men can be use: in the construction work as appiy for the job. QUANTITIES OF WOOD SOLD Coal Supply in Manhattan is Fast Decreasing. So far, no fuel administrator has been appointed for Manhattan. A number of the local dealers are a tempting to keep the people in town from suffering for the want of heat in the absence of shipments of coal.
by ob'aining supplies of wood and by reserving coal and dishing it out in small supplies to those who have orders in. The price has not raised on wood at the fuel dealers, but is selling at the price as before the great desame mand for fuel existed. Reports show that there has been no suffering as vet from total lack of coal. BIRTHS Mr. and Mrs.

TWENTY- CALVES ARE SOLD Parebred Shorthorn Calves Distributed to the Club Members. Twenty-four purebred Shorthorn calves were distributed to boys' and gilrs', club members of Riley, Pottawatomie, and Waubaunsee counties at the college Saturday afternoon. The calves ranged in price from $125 to $165. The upper 15 sold from $155 to $165, and the remainder from $126 to $150. The calves were drawn by lot, and there was apparently no dissatisfaction over the outcome.
Each child was given a number and drew the calf with the corresponding number. About 75 persons attended the sale. Nine of the calves went to girls. In some instances one family purchased two calves, one going to a son and one to a daughter. All four of the Manhattan banks, which had agreed to loan money to the children, had representatives at the sale.
Some of the children paid cash for their purchases and some gave notes. These calves are to be cared for by the children, and are to be offered for sale after a show which will be held early next summer. Those who purchased calves are: Clara Springer, Garrison. Doris L. Weisner, Route 1, Manhattan.

Cons derable excitement is being felt in town over four or more house robberies Tuesday night when some robber, or robbers, took advantage of the Armistice day celebration that took most of the people from their homes and enabled the robbers to work 11 more or less safety. One of the queer feats of the robber, according to the police, is that he often picked out of jewelry collections only a few eces, leaving sometimes the more pieces behind.
The police have been set to wondering as to what kind of a robber would leave money and take away watches, hosiery, and other things of which it is difficult to dispose. One robbery, at 12:30 a. m. Tuesday, was at the home of F. M.
Emmons. 611 Humboldt, where the robber broke into the house, taking a lady's gold filled watch with Mrs. Emmons' name in the back. The home of W. J.
Dunning, 618 Osage, was also broken into, and a watch with the initials L. A. D. in it, stolen. There was about five dollars in money that was not touched.
This was in open view of the robber. At about 9 o'clock last night the home of L. R. Brady, 203 North Juliette, was broken into and the rooms ransacked. Nothing was taken from the rooms of several women roomers, but Coach Schultz of the college lost 1 box containing 20 pairs of socks which had just been delivered to him.
R. T. McColloch and wife, roomers in 'he house, lost a dark traveling bag with some checks, a pass book on the First National Bank of Atchison and other papers. Some of the papers were left in the barn, and the bag apparently was used to carry off the plunder. The bag was marked with the name of Mrs.
Belle W. McColloch. An Ingersoll watch was taken, and a bank full of pennies was left untonched. The home of Louis Burke, 114 North Juliette, was also entered Tuesday night but it is believed that the robber got very little and was probably scared away. Mrs.
J. P. Barger, who has been visiting her mother M. E. King.
went to Caldwell today to vis't her sister. ATTEND PROGRAM DESPITE RAIN Bishop Wise Addresses Crowd at Community House. Sunday's rain and wet streets did not keep the Armistice Sunday program from being attended by a fair sized crowd of Manhattan people, who showed their respect to the ory of the soldiers who lost their lives in the war, and their thankfulness for the fact that the war was successfully won, by their presence. Doctor McClelland opened the program. Father Luckey gave a short talk, expressing the community's preciation of the men who suffered death in the war.
The eulogy that was to have been read was not presented because information about the soldiers who never came back to America could not be obtained. The speech delivered by the Right Reverend Bishop Wise was very well received by the audience. He made a plea to the people to keep alive the ideal with which America went into the war, and hold in reverence the memories of the deeds that were done and the sacrifices made in the winning of the war. Bishop Wise stated that the country faced serious problems when it went into the war but that it faces more serious crises now. He said that the sanctity of the home in in danger at this time; that the labor problems, and the work of irresponsible argtators and persons with bolshevist beliefs must be faced by the nation.
The people must live the principies of our religion, Bishop Wise belives, in order that the country will successfully weather the present crisis. Two numbers were sung by the audience, "America," and "Land of Mine," led by Chester Guthrie. WHAT THEY DID LAST YEAR. Some Ex-Soldiers Home for a Time; Some Just Returned. (From Tuesday's Daily).

"Am I glad the armistice was signed and that the allies won? I say I am." "What was I doing a year ago today?" said a soldier. "I was out in 'he Argonne forest, dodging G.

I was deeply dug in a shell hole, keeping my head down, while machine gun fire from some hidden Hun machine raked the top of the hole, and G.

The only company I had in that hell hole, where I had spent the previous 10 hours, was a Boche discarded canteen with a hole in it, an American soldier's blanket, that had been left. and an empty package of Campbell cigarettes, all left to tell of the prerious occupancy of the hole. was without even my hardtack and corn willy, as I had eaten part and thrown the rest away, but I had 1 sack of Bull Durham tobacco and come papers.
And I crouched in the hell hole and smoked that sack of obacco and cussed my luck. "Eleven o'clock came, and the shells and German bullets ceased, so that I could sneak back to my own 1 nes."
