POETRY
A CHEER FOX THE BOYS.

A cheer for the boys as they march For the ieH Boys in khaki or blue. They have felt the thrill of their
 country's call, They are off to answer it, too From office and factory and farm and They are passing in grand review. A cheer for the boys as they march
 along With never step to lag. Perchance on the air a snatch of song, As. they follow their country's flag, Though 1t may lead them straight to
 death Though it be shot to rag. A cheer for the boys as they march
 along Though hearts behind may break. Above the touch of clasping arms Is duty for countTys sake, And a future with chances sill un- That only brave men take. A prayer for the boys as they march For the boys now grown to men. That the gathering cloud may quickly The trouble be o'er-and then, As now we cheer them off, God grant We may cheer them home again.
 -J. w. Harper.

DAVIS THEATRE.
<, Big Gala Bill of Keith Vaudeville and
 Triangle Photoplays This Week.

Another show that will meet with { the approval of the patrons of this , theatre has been booked for the first half of this week, and the headline attra will be the Misses Leight- ner and Alexander, two ladies and a man, who present a singing, talking and musical speciality that is out of the ordinary and has always been a big hit. The other act on the bill is Walter James, the singing tramp. This is the highest salaried single act that has ever appeared here and he is a whole show by himself. In the pho toplays the Triangle feature is called the Bugle Call and Willie Collier, Jr, is the star
 Little Billy, ten-year-old son of the 7 tcommandant at Fort McPherson, a frontier army post, is loved by every one in the place. He has one ambi- tion in life, and that is to become a good soldier; and one military achievement he already has learned, to play the army bugle. It is only the good soldier in him that makes him tolerate the idea that his father is to marry again, for he cannot conceive of anyone good enough to take his dead mothers place. Soon after the wedding, his father is called to quell an uprising of the Sioux Indians, forty miles to the south, and his new moth CT is left in his charge. Then the fort itself is attacked by Indians. Bill ly, who has hidden his stepmOther in a cave in the hillside, suddenly sees that the outnumbered garrison is about to surrender. Bethinking him. self of his bugle, and hoping to lead the Indians to believe his father and the regiment are returning, he blows the charge from a distant knoll. What happens is one of the most dashing moments in the story.
 This is a five part Ince production and was specially written for young Collier. His@characterization of Q flip office boy in one of his fathers pie lures attracted the attention of Di- rector Ince and then and there he de- termined to give the boy a chance to star, and after you have seen this pie ture you will agree that he has made good. The Keystone comedy to com plete the show is called Hearts and Sparks and Hank Mann is principal fun maker, and if you want a good laugh don't fail to see this comedy.

from petroleum of domestic origin disclose a gain of 84 per cent over the quantity sold in 1914 The total sales of manufactured asphalt amount ed to 664, 503 short tons, valued at $4,715, ,583. In addition to tglis out put, refiners in the United States made and sold 38S,318 short tons of asphalt, valued at $3,730, 436, that was derived from petroleum imported from Mex ico.
 The decrease in the output of nat ural asphalt is confined to bituminous rock and is due largely to the keen competition that this type of asphalt is forced to meet in its chief market the paving industry-with manu- factured substitutes.
 Statistics just completed under the supervision of J. D. Northrop, of the Geological Survey, shows that of the quantity of manufactured asphalt de- rived from domestic petroleum in 1915 total of 417859 short tons, valued at S2,392,576, was marketed as road asphalt and Aux, and 246, ,644 short tons, valued at $2,323,007, as residual pitch, used chiefly for pay ing.
 The output of the Mexican product in 1915 may therefore be subdfvideH into road asphalt and fux-174, ,S54 short tons valued at $1,325, ,2O1-and residul pitch-213,464 short tons, val ued at $2,405,235
