POETRY
OUR NATIONS SONG.

A song we have for the soldier, To urge him on his way; A quickstep air to the trumpets blare And a shout for the carbine fray; A song when war is over, And the boys come home again; A note of cheer, and song-ah, dear To the sweethearts of our men! A song when our flag is waving, With the Stars and Stripes unfuried, To the open sea, where Liberty Holds a. torch to light the world; To a heaven exalted vision Of a, land that is big and Wlde-.-. As big as the dome which shelters
 home,
 And as wide as the Iongshore tide That breaks within our harbors And laves our Ship of State; 4 song for joy, and the hail, Ahoy! But never a song of hate. A song of peace and thanksgiving. A hymn to the God of Love; A farewell song for the silent thronS Who sail to that port above. A song for the hearth fires burning Throughout our blessed land; The song of the rest we love the best, And the aria, sweet and grand, Which lifts the soul to it's haven On the fiuttering wings of prayer X cradle song that murmurs long For a baby's tender care. Der land and sea, to the skyline; r Meath the sun, or a million stars; We shall sing a song, but never a
 wrong
 Shall we write to the measured
 bars; Or hear on the lips of our children Pray God for a nobler fate Than that our men e'er sing again The words of d song of hate.
 LENVOI. Then hail to the fleet of our nation And hail to our soldiers true! All hail to our Chief. in joy or grlef And hail to the Red, White and
 Blue! Let us sing song to the Morning, A carol, full and gay For the hope which flies toward the
 sunset skies
 And wings a perfect Day; Of peace, and love, and glory; And graciousnesS of fame We have waited long for glad new
 song,
 The Song without a Namei -Alys Worth, in the Arkansas Ga
 zette.

 If we wish to stifle production in Cuba we could. take that course just at the time of all times in our history, when we want production for ourselves and the allies. Further than that such a course would produce disturb ances in Cuba and destroy even our material reasons is one of justice.

 The food administration has con- reduction of individual sugar con sumption," says the statement. ''The reduction has shown in the decrease in candy sales, etcetera, but on the Oth- CT hand a similar campaign for the preservation of fruit has increased the consumption in that direction--but will reduce consumption later on. < < Taking into consideration all features. it is not certain, that there has been any increase in actual consumption and considering the increased canning use there may have been a decrease"

Thursday, Friday and Saturday the screen sensations. Draft 25S." This given a superb production suitable to it's great central idea and it's thrilling and absorbing story. It dramatizes the present situation in America, when foreign propaganda battles for victory with native patriotism and shows the actual struggle, the honest difference of opinion that sometimes separates families. The arguments that drive home the truth to Mathew and George Alden in Draft 258" will prove of value to every person who sees this picture. It is a flaming 2 torch of patriotism without a single battle scene. William Christy Caban- ne directed Draft 25S'' and June Mathis wrote the story. Delightful Mabel TaIiaferro is the star, and has long been a favorite on the screen, and she has never been greater than in her role of the girl patriot in Draft 25S." This production is truly one of the most ambitious photodramas ever offered to the American public and will carry message straight in to the heart of every person who sees it.
 Other picturek on the bin include the Burton Holmes traveEogue and a Vic tor Moore comedy.
 Today's bill at the Breed consists of Marguerite Clark in ''Bab's Diary," the Burton Holmes travelogue and Victor Moore comedy
