ARMISTICE DAY, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER ELEVENTH 

As the first anniversary approaches which will mark the passage of a year since the armistice was signed, ending the world war, patriotic societies are urging upon Congress the naming of November 11th as a yearly National Holiday. Behind the movement in full force is the American Legion, the organization of United States soldiers, who at home and abroad, brought the conflict to a successful conclusion. In the meantime reports are coming of local celebrations in towns and cities, all of which will have a beneficial effect in promoting legislation. No objection has been voiced in the Halls of Congress so far as setting aside as a holiday this important date, when at the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, hostilities of the war came to an abrupt end. 

VILLAGE NOTES 

Hallowe-en was a quiet one in Altamont. Several attempts were made to play the usual tricks but were frustrated by a close watch out by the special deputies placed on duty that evening. 

STONY HILL — DISTRICT 6. 

A strange incident occurred Sunday, when Morgan Wagoner was out hunting with his brother, L. L. Wagoner. When near Mrs. Wagoner’s house and only about 100 feet from the state road, he found what he supposed to be two pairs of old automobile license plates, but on picking them up he found them to be both 1919 licenses, one pair having been issued in Illinois and looking as though they had been hurriedly taken from a car. The other was issued in Indiana and has never been taken out of the envelope. How they came so far from the places issued is a mystery.

The stork is very busy at present. He called on Mr. and Mrs. John Van Allen and left a little girl, named Wanda Spence Van Allen, and also called on Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Van Alstyne Oct. 28, leaving a 10-pound baby boy, Elwood Edward Van Alstyne. Mothers and babies are doing nicely.
