THE FARMER MYSTIC Not smce the armistice was signed has Mystic seen such' a Qemenstration of en- thusiasm as was called forth by the re- bublican. parade here Thursday evening.

Ot course, we've all had trouble in get- ting help enough to save the crops which were matured, but, so far as weather has been concerned, we could hardly have found it more satisfactory if we'd had the making of it in our own hands. And tribute to the underlying sound- s of human feeling that most of us seem willing to admit this as we were to grouch over the bad weather of last summer. Now, however, the turn is at hand.
