However, it was a hard fought game as the lighter Ger- aidine team fougnt to the final whistle. The game was the cleanest and exhibited the best sportsmanship of any yet this season. Both teams played clean straiget football. Doris Shnits, Hofsommer and Smith were the power on of- fense. The most sensational play of the game was made by Donald Shults when he inter- cepted a forward pass on the 30 yard line and raced past the -Geraldine team for a touchdown. The local team goes to Chinook Friday. Big Sandy defeated Chinook here 33 to 7. The last game of the season will be plased here Nov. 18th when Geraldine comes for a re- turn game. CARTER FIRE BURNS 5 BUSINESS tiCUSES; CALM SPARES TOWN Carter, Nov. 7.—Fire on Sun - (lay morning destroyed five business houses at this place, the blaze entailing a loss of approximately $1'5'000, most of which was covered by insur- ance. The fire started from an overheated range in a restaur- ant known as the Cozy cafe, and the flames spread rapidly . to the adjoiding frame build- ings. The fire broke out shortly after 3 a. m. and had gained consid- erable headway in the cafe before being discovered. The plant of the Carter Publishing company and Campbell's pool hall were soon consumed by the flames, but the blaze W38 soon checked after it destroyed a vacant building owned by Glarum and Spater. The blaze was the worst in the history of Carter, and the absence of wind was all that saved the town. Residents worked hero'cally to save the Carter State Bank building with a meagre water supply that was secnred from nearby cisterns. INVITE DISARMAMENT DELEGATES TO TOUR UNITED STATES Senator Robert N. Stanfield of Oregon introduced concurrent resolution in congress author- izing the Secretary of State to invite all delegates to the Arms Conference to tour the United States as guests of the G overn- went, the invitation also to in- clude foreign correspondents. Upon introducing - his resolution he made the following state- ment: \The Delegates to the Con- ference on Limitation of Arma- ment are coming to the United States on invitation of the President, and in a sense are to be guests of our Government. All indications point to a pro- tracted session of the confer- ence. awd if other assemblages of similar character are to be any guide, there will come a' time during the deliberations . when the delegates will wel- come a breathing spell— an op- portunity ,to get away for a . time from the scene of their daily deliberations. \As the government is the official host of these delegates it should, within reason, do what it can to make their visit both enjoyable and memorable, and it is not too much to pro- pose that we take advantage! of the opportunity to show, these distinguished visitors something of the extent of our , country-,stte variety and scope' of our resources and possibili- ties, and afford them an oppor- tunity to meet with our people in all sections, and at the same time permit our people in their respective centers to extend the band of fellowship and offer something of entertain- ment along the route to be traversed. \In all likelihood the confer- ence will recess over the holi- day season, and that might prove a convenient time for the delegates to make a tour. However, the time can readily be arranged after the confer- ence assembles. \Congress has already made prvision for the entertainment of these delegates; it is but fit ting that part of the entertain - FOR MEN Are you big enough to wear long pants?

ARMISTICE DAY AT ARLINGTON. At Arlington on Armistice Day will be buried the body of an unknown American soldier who gave his life for humanity. There are divergent opinions as to why the United States was concerned in the World war, but the great majority is unanimous that so great a clataclysm could not have occurred without some great good should result. So we say in! all sincerity that the unknown soldier gave his life for humanity. This hero represents thousands of others, both known and unknown, and on Armistice Day the greatest tribute possible will be performed for that great army, both the living and the dead, who by their sacrifices will ever be a potent factor for the right. Pre,.silie,nt Harding has issued r. pr clamation asking that, at noon on Armistice Day, the people of the nation unite in a two minutes silent prayer, in thanks for brave lives and heroic deaths, and to ask (;od's blessings upon the country for which these lives were given. The response will be almost universal. During these two minutes may this great nation for- get all antagonisms and carry to God the memories and hopes which bind it together. ment fund already provided gates; let them in their respec- be spent as proposed in my tive communities, discuss the resolution, question of armament with the \And not only should the delegates; let us inject this lo - delegates, but the visiting cal color and local sentiment newspaper correspondents, h e into the conference.\ included in the invitation of the Secretary of State. The oppor- tunity for the dissemination throughout the world of first hand information abont the United States Is now presented; the writers coming from abroad are men of reputation in their own lands; some have world wide reputations. These writ- ers, gathering their own infor- mation enroute, can carry back to their tome papers informa- tion about the United States that otherwise will not reach the readers of the treat news- papers of the Old World and of the Orient. \We don't want the delegates to go home with the impression that the United States compris- es the National Capital, the ports of entry, and merely the limited territory through which they travel enroute to Wash• ington. We have a country of which' we are proud; we now have an unprecedented oppor- tunity to show it to the most distinguished gathering of world-renowned men we have ever had the opportunity to entertain. And, judging from sentiment which prevails in my state, I know the people throughout the land would wel- come most heartily such an op- portunity to entertain time del- egates and correspondents at- tending the Arms Conference.
