Irish Policeman
 Attacks Graft
Honest Lad Fights New YOrk's POliticians-'A Son of Erin" is Thursdays Attraction.

"A Son of Erin,' Pallas picture produced for the Paramount Program. is an interesting, clearly told screen story of Old Ireland and Young Amer ica, both personified by Dustin Far mum as Dennis O'Hara, the frolicsome young Irish lad with the big heart and the merry smile.
 The story tells how Dennis O'Hara, a poor Irish lad in the "Ould Coun- thrie," is lured to America, that lard of promise for so many of his kind, there to be met with discouragements and disappointments that would have dismayed a stouter heart than his. Katie O'Grady, the Lady of His Heart, is left back in Ireland, and when, soon after leaving her, he sends his photo graph in uniform of policeman, she is skeptcal, for has she not been told of the flake" costumes to be obtained in America?
 In the meantime, Dennis finds him self up against tough problems of politics, and he fights them, losing his position as a result.
 A fatal catastrophe figures as a turning point, leading the young hero to great success. Winifred Kingston, who plays opposite MT. Farnum makes the most winsome of coleens, and it is easy to see why all the Irish lads were in love with her.

We have 1t sounded in our ears con. stantly that poverty is a great help TOT a boy; that 1t is constant force pack of him to make him hump him. seif. We are told of thousands and thousands of men who have won fame and wealth because they had the prod or poverty behind them to keep them going. There is truth in this, and a lesson, too, which excltes the ques- ton, why all this endeavor to kill off boys poverty and give him a life of ease and plenty? It is going on all the time. For instance, in the older days, when poverty was the lot of all, boy could skin a cat anywhere, and now it has to be done on glossy bar in a costly gymnasium. We are despoiling the boy of all the stimuli of poverty and surrounding him with the easy ways of living. Education has duty here that is not properly recog- nized, says the Ohio State Journal. We are all the time bent on making life easy-to Toll and float along on a smooth stream past grassy shores and budding bowers. This is what We are taught in these materialistic days. It is all for the physical enjoyment and the vacation of the soul. We are con- stantly applauding poverty as an in- tiuence to build up the boy, and yet are always tempting him with extrav- agance and short cuts to success. It Is time to get back to where the boy is, where obstacles and difficulties are and let him fight his way through them.

Is dancing going out of favor? Not If the teachers have anything to say about 1t. Behind closed doors the American Society of Professors of Dancing held its annual convention. and dlsqueting rumors are abroad. Vernon Castle smuggled q jews harp into his aviation kit, and is teaching the London taps in the trenches. This dance will rival the Hula Hula in popularity during the coming season, save for those who prefer the tWo-two, or walking the dog.

LOYAL CHEROKEES

nrotestations of loyalty have
 ..od in upon the government at Washington since the break With Ger anv " occurred and the probability of N'' stared the country in the face. n ~ norbans no telegram laid on the .o.ident's desk has been more virile ,;+b nationalism or more sentient :.h romance than that sent by the 'h;of of the Cherokee Indians from tboir western reservation.
 @We. the Cherokee nation, will fight with YOU to defend the flag when we are needed in the great crisis be- fore us"
 A splendid pledge from people ,,,hose lands we took by force and ,rbom we drove into the exile of a re- .trcted reservation, Could patriot fen, dictate a finer declaration? The heart of the president must have thrilled with a new sensation as he read the lines.
 Tennessee knew the Cherokees in aboriginal days, for through this sec finn was their home. She knew their courage, their honesty, the highmind- edness of their men, the chastity of their women. The Cherokees were the aon,nant Indian tribe because of some vision of uplift they had caught, and their repatriation was one of the tragedies of our early history. Their offer to fight for the government that wronged them shows that they have lived down the bitterness of the old generations, and that today they are net aliens in spirit but that they are Americans, seeing things in the white light of civilization, and ready to do their part in upholding the flag that spells peace for them and theirs.
 Hats off to the tribe of the Chero- kees!-Commercial Appeal.

The tree grows too slow. ly to be planted for shade or decora. tive purposes, and, being found only in California, it would have a small field of usefulness.

On the northeast corner of Fifth and
Lyons streets, stands modest little
gray frame residence, house which
is known, it is said, to everyone in
Boone County. 1t is the home of the
Rev. A W. Paisley. who has married
321 couples in the front parlor since
he moved into the house in December,
1900.
OF the I'll couples which the Rever-
end Paisley has married since 1890, the
remaining 800 have been married at
various places in Columbia and the
neighboring country. But the persons
to be married have come from places
from New York to Alberta. Canada.
The first couple to be married in the
little front parlor of the pastors home
were George Williamson and Miss
Elizabeth Torbit of Huntsdale, Mo-,
and the last up to the close of 1916
were James Albert Watson and Miss
Beulah McKinzie, married December
20.
June weddings, Mr.. Paisley says.
