HAWTHORNE WILL
PREPARE FOR WAR

A majority OF the residents OF
Hawthorne assembled at the X. P
Hall last Friday evening for the pur.
pose OF formulating plans whereby
they could increase their efficiency
for military service.
Mr.. G. B. Stannard called the
meeting to order and in brief ad
dress explained the purpose OF the
gathering, which was substantially
as follows:
During the past few days there
has been much discussion of the war
situation. There are many opinions
as to the entrance of the United
States into the European trouble.
Upon the question OF being prepared
however, there seems to be few
differences. The people of Haw-
thorne are a unit in believing in uni
versal training.
After the training of all the able
bodied young men of the country
has been in operation few years,
the future of our army and navy will
be assured. All Of the men of an
aye to undertake campaigning will
have been trained when they were
young, so that our army, navy and
reserve will be composed of all those
able to do a soldiers or a sailors
duty
Now, however, we have no reserve
and we have thought that all the
able bodied men of our town, no
matter of what age, should join to-
ther for the purpose of learning the
rudiments, at least, of military train
ing
Those who may leave our ranks to
join the army, navy or militia, will
be better able to take their places by
reason of the training they receive
hero, and those who can go only as a
last resort, on account of age, or oil
relatives depending upon them, are
at least preparing themselves to de.
fend their homes and their couatry.
We are very fortunate at the start
in having several men of military
experience. Many have had val.
liable training of some sort, some in
school, and some in the regular
army.
We have plenty of men to teach us
how to stand, to march, setting up
exercises. manual of arms, bayonet
exercises, scouting, entrenching, etc.

is sevxen years old and has ben act
ing before the camera for seven
years. When she was only baby in
arms she was carried through many
a scene, and as soon as she could
walk she toddled about in front Of
the camera.
Her real talent as child actress
were first discovered by one of the
directors of the Thomas H. Ince
studios. Thelma was having a few
hours off from picture she. was
working on and was given an i'm
promptu performance as the mother
of family of dolls. The director,
after watching her wholly uncon-

the little girl, and as result the dir
ector general himself began to take
strong interest in the little child.
Thelma has not ben made up"
for scene for more than two years.
Her mother used to attend to this
duty, but the child learned the art
of makeup herself and fatty re-
fuses any assistance. She bears the
distinction of having acted in all

is forced to fight for Banty Tim on
several occasions. Merrill meets
Jim's wife and induces her to loosen
the sand bags and leave the water
into the village, and she escapes in a
boat the bottom of which had been
previously cut by Merrill. In
the middle of the stream the boat
begins to sink and Banty Tim goes
to her rescue.
A year later Jim is again engi-
neer of the Prairie Belle, and in q
race with another boat the engines
become overheated and the boiler
explodes. Merrill is aboard, and Jim
has him locked in the oil room.
When the boat takes fire Jim goes
and opens the door in the oil room
