The Girl PhilIippa
At Bentley Grand Theater, Tuesday
Evening, June II

The Story-Phillippa, girl Of ar
istocratic mold, is discovered as
the serving maid in an obscure cafe
some where in France A burly
animal Of a taskmaster, the host Of
the tavern, Wildresse, holds the key
to her past and to her future
Back in her childhood there was
fatal catastrophe in a Balkan
kingdom. In France she is living
a really bizarre, but on the surface
prosaic, life.
A hostile foreign power has sto-
len the secret of a war engine di-
vulged to Great Britain by Ameri-
cans. Hackett and Gray, secret
agents Of England, are dispatched
to recover the plans. Warmer, an
innocent dreamer in the meadows
of Ausone. is electrically dragged
into the plotting. After several
encounters the plans are recovered
and part Of them entrusted to
Warner. At once Phillippa be
comes the first antagonist in his
new made peril. She is a spy!
Love solves the danger Of the
young hero, but doubles it for Phil
lippa. She spies now for him-at
the risk of her own life. She trans
fers herself to the protection Of
Warner. Widresse is foiled by her
when she burns some of the papers.
Flaming with anger he sends his
crew after the artist.
Wildresse is spurred to more
desperate efforts. Attacking the
Englishmen, he secures part of the
plans that they have and shoots
Gray. The latter's name is used as
blind for spy to approach Hal
kett at the Peach Tree Inn. Hal.
kett's life is saved hy Phillippa.

The Inn owned by Wildresse is
now her prison. Warner gallantly
invades it to rescue her. While
he is engaged in this effort the

The ruffian would have died with the
secret of the girl Phillippa lock-
ed in his breast, had not the appeal

her that she is princess.

Harry Morris, president of the
First National Bank of Sisseton,
who is one Of the principal factors
in promoting the sale Of Liberty
Bonds in Roberts county was in
town Monday evening, and address
ed a gathering of citizens in re-
gard to purchasing liberty bonds.
Mr.. Morris presented the matter
in a convincing manner. showing
that the thousands of thoughtful
men, who are too old for army SER
vice or to volunteer for the
trenches, but who have been asking
themselves, what can do to be
of service to my country" have
an answer in helping to float this
loan, as the government needs the
money it asks for and the undi-
vided support of the people back Of
it just as much or more than it
needs the young men at the front
in fact the soldier boys will be
sent to certain and useless slaugh-
hter, unless they are supported
by the full resources of this great
country. The time is past for our
lips to assert loyalty if our pocket
books, our bank accounts, and our
spending money are not placed on
the altar of our country. Every
man in Grant county should have
one or more of these bonds They
are better than gold, because they
are bearing 3ab interest, payable
semi annually, and are backed by
every dollars worth of wealth in the
United States.
Grant County has been apportion'
ed $l25, 900 Of these bonds and
Roberts county SITS, 900. Let u
do our bit that we may not hang
our heads in shame in the daya to
come.

conditions that should be looked
