Armistice Day Observed
As scheduled, Armistice Bay, Tues
day, November 1 lth was observed in
Red Cloud. The rains of the two days
previous iuterferred to a considerable
extent with the carrying out of ihe
program which had been arranged for
the day. The almost impassible condi
tion of the roaJs made it impossible
for many of the rural people to be
present This also was impossible for
the canceling of the parade in which
the school oh'ldren were to tulso pint.
Aviator Cochrane was unable to make
hib Uights as planned as he was ma
rooned in the mud at his landing place
near Inavale.
At 1:110 the Bed Cloud hand rendered
several selections in front of the Or
pheum theater, nt which place t lie pro
gram was carried out, Prof, llolt.en
presiding.
The program was opened with the
singing of America by the audience,
followed by selections by the band and
the High School quartette and sextette.
Attorney L. U. BlacUlcdge delivered
a very appropriate address, his subject
being "Patriotism and our Debt of
Gratitude to the Americau Soldiers".
The speaker called attention to the
meaning of the event that they were
celebrating and also stated that the
day would be honored throughout all
time to come. He also mentioned our
methods of warfare were more efficient
und successful than those of Europe.
He took issue with those who thought
the U. S. soldiers should have fought
all the way to Berlin, as many lives
were saved by not doing so and con
cluded by saying that the United Stat
es needed military preparation to safe
guard the future of tills country.
The program was brought to a close
by the singing of the Star Spangled
Banner by all present, after which the
band und Bed Cloud High School foot
ball team marched to the local foot
ball grounds whore the High School
team defeated the Pick Up team of
former players of the city.

&he NEW EDISON
The Three Million
Dollar Phonograph
THOMAS A. EDISON invented the phon
ograph in 1877, Later he improved his
original phonograph to a point where his
business advisers said to him : " You now have
the best phonograph in existence. Let's go
ahead and market it."
Mr. Edison shook his head and replied : v" I
am not going to put out a new phonograph until
it is so perfect that its reproduction of music
cannot be detected from the original music."
Thomas A. Edison spent three million dol
lars in cold cash to develop an instrument which
matched the human voice and all kinds of musi
cal instruments so perfectly that the original
could not be told from the reproduction or RE
CREATION, as it is now called.
Wc arc prepared to sell
you today, for 929B, an
exact duplicate of Edison's
three million dollar phono
graph. You may even have
extended terms of payment,
if you desire that accom
modation. First of all, how
ever, we want you to hear
this wonderful new instru
ment. May we have the pleas
ure of demonstrating to you
that Music's RE-CREATION
is a. reality and not
merely a '.fanciful phrase ?
