a big New York success. The heroine
Tess, runs the gauntlet of emotions

ton of which the human heart is cap
able. The scenario has heart, interest,
love, action and sacrifice, and a more
complete formula for a screen triumph
canot be imagined At the Star Sat

observance, which is held in the court
house park The regular program
consists of a thirty minute speech,
music by one of the regimental bands
at Camp Robinson, vocal solos and a
great chorus class under direction of
DR. Beebe. Mr. Smith says the Spar
ia gatherings are productive of a
fine patriotic spirit, and he hopes
some person wiki the right gauge of
steam will move for a like war obser-
vance in Viroqua A program of that
character would certainly have fine
hearing on Sunday evenings.
