ARMISTICE DAY Eighteen yeara ago at 11 o'clock the armistice in the great World War was proclaimed and all hostilities ceased and thousands of lives of the combatants were thus saved. It was the most dreadful outrage inflicted upon humanity for centuries and Involved slmost tile entire world. Yesterday la hundreds of towns and cities throughout the nation the day was appropriately observed. Locally there was no demonstration. RETIRED MEN'S MEETING The regular monthly meeting of ths Pennsylvania Railroad Retired Veterans' association will meet in the Y. M. C. A. on Saturday,. Nov. 14, at* 2:80 o'clock p. m. This meeting will be one of considerable interest,, at which time its finances will be considered. The membership cards will be distributed. All memben will please arrange to be present, .'^p HOMEMAKERS EXCHANGE Great laterest ia being evinced by local housewives in the ''Homemakers Exchange," a radio feature conducted by Eleanor Howe, noted home economist. The program, sponsered by the Ice Dealers ef America, le on the air every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 11:46 A. M. Home problems are discussed,and many useful hints to ths laiistj be obtained from this which should be helpful te housewife. Some olcvusfon waa held on plans for an ordinance to regulate the sewerage system aat* another meeting will probably be called in a few days, when Mr. Towney of the Morris Knowles Company arrives in town, to work out suitable plana to govern the use of the sewer. B. H. S. TEAM ELIMINATED With the cancellation of the foot ball game to be played between the Bellwood High School team and the Lilly eleven on Armistice Day, the foot' ball season for the locals automatically closed with the game laat Saturday between Philipsburg and Bellwood. > Injuries received by Bellwood players . in the Philipsburg game left Coach Bland with barely enough players available to .fill his lineup . None of the hurts are serious, however. Faculty Manager Hetrick conferred with Lilly the beginning of the week and agreed to forfeit the conference game. Lilly will play at Claysburg on Saturday. The local team has been handicapped throughout the season, due to the weight of the players and lack of sufficient players to fill in during emergencies. In thia respect it is thought advisible by some of the sports that Bellwood and Antis Township Hi should combine during another season and thus put up a formidable outfit, one that would be able to go against most any rival in the school lineup and win. Such a lineup would cement closer relationship between the two districts and a stronger team would result, with plenty of material in case of injury to any players during a contest. The suggestion should be given careful consideration before another season arrives. SHOWS ELECTION RETURNS This isue contains a complete summary of results of the November 3 general election, rushed to us following a national compilation of statistics. This tabulation is especially timely, since it provides the grana climax to America's straw poll mania, to the claims and counter claims ' that were hurled back and forth during the campaign, and to the endless conjecture regarding Republican strength in California, far instance, against Democratic strength in Massachusetts. It is the final answer.. .the' real poll to ond all polls! We suggest that yea safes It fer later referaace. ACTIVITIES FjHMM SHOW Horse Shoe Pitching aad Lag Saw- lag to be Feat* Mr. Lewis Myers, the director ef physical education in the Antia Township Consolidated School, outlined the various activities in his field for the coining Community Farm Show.

SERIES OF MEETINGS A discussion of some fundamentals of the word of God. Do you know them? Do you beleive them? The Olivet Baptist church will cooperate with the other local churches in conducting services during the week beginning Nov. 16. Let it be understood that thie is not in cooperation with the plan and program of the Federal Council of Churches or any such organization, some of whose leaders have denied the fundamentals of tile Scriptures and with their communistic sympathy and modernistic teaching have led many astray and confused many Christian people as to the way of salvation and the fundamentals concerning the church ef Jesus Christ. The aim of these meetings is to help those in doubt as to the way to be saved and to lead Christians into an understanding of the Scriptures for assurance and service. The only source of truth for eternal issues is the Word of God. Let us meet and reason together as to "What saith the Lord." Opportunity will be given for questions to be submitted and answered according to the Scriptures that these meetings may be most helpful to all. The following is a list of topics subject to change: Sunday Nov. 16—-Morning: "The Verbal Inspiration of the Scriptures." Monday Nov. 16—-The Personality and Work of the Holy Spirit." Tuesday Nov. 17—."The Personality and Work of the Devil.*' Wednesday Nov. 18—"The sin of Adam and Its Consequences." Thursday Nov. 19-—''God's Provision for Salvation by Faith in the Finished Work of Christ." Friday Nov. 80 — "The True Church." Sunday Nov. 21—Morning, "The Ordinances of the Church." Evening: "The Work and Mesage of the Church." Bring your Bible and follow the subjects as they are presented. There is much confusion today due to open denial on one hand and delusive snd fanatical teachings on the other.

B. H. S. TEAM ELIMINATED With the cancellation of the foot ball game to be played between the Bellwood High School team and the Lilly eleven on Armistice Day, the foot' ball season for the locals automatically closed with the game laat Saturday between Philipsburg and Bellwood. > Injuries received by Bellwood players . in the Philipsburg game left Coach Bland with barely enough players available to .fill his lineup . None of the hurts are serious, however. Faculty Manager Hetrick conferred with Lilly the beginning of the week and agreed to forfeit the conference game. Lilly will play at Claysburg on Saturday. The local team has been handicapped throughout the season, due to the weight of the players and lack of sufficient players to fill in during emergencies. In thia respect it is thought advisible by some of the sports that Bellwood and Antis Township Hi should combine during another season and thus put up a formidable outfit, one that would be able to go against most any rival in the school lineup and win. Such a lineup would cement closer relationship between the two districts and a stronger team would result, with plenty of material in case of injury to any players during a contest. The suggestion should be given careful consideration before another season arrives. SHOWS ELECTION RETURNS This isue contains a complete summary of results of the November 3 general election, rushed to us following a national compilation of statistics. This tabulation is especially timely, since it provides the grana climax to America's straw poll mania, to the claims and counter claims ' that were hurled back and forth during the campaign, and to the endless conjecture regarding Republican strength in California, far instance, against Democratic strength in Massachusetts. It is the final answer.. .the' real poll to ond all polls! We suggest that yea safes It fer later referaace.

SERIES OF MEETINGS A discussion of some fundamentals of the word of God. Do you know them? Do you beleive them? The Olivet Baptist church will cooperate with the other local churches in conducting services during the week beginning Nov. 16. Let it be understood that thie is not in cooperation with the plan and program of the Federal Council of Churches or any such organization, some of whose leaders have denied the fundamentals of tile Scriptures and with their communistic sympathy and modernistic teaching have led many astray and confused many Christian people as to the way of salvation and the fundamentals concerning the church ef Jesus Christ. The aim of these meetings is to help those in doubt as to the way to be saved and to lead Christians into an understanding of the Scriptures for assurance and service. The only source of truth for eternal issues is the Word of God. Let us meet and reason together as to "What saith the Lord." Opportunity will be given for questions to be submitted and answered according to the Scriptures that these meetings may be most helpful to all. The following is a list of topics subject to change: Sunday Nov. 16—-Morning: "The Verbal Inspiration of the Scriptures." Monday Nov. 16—-The Personality and Work of the Holy Spirit." Tuesday Nov. 17—."The Personality and Work of the Devil.*' Wednesday Nov. 18—"The sin of Adam and Its Consequences." Thursday Nov. 19-—''God's Provision for Salvation by Faith in the Finished Work of Christ." Friday Nov. 80 — "The True Church." Sunday Nov. 21—Morning, "The Ordinances of the Church." Evening: "The Work and Mesage of the Church." Bring your Bible and follow the subjects as they are presented.
