she carries one situation after an

her features. Conflicting owe and
hatred, with love finally rising trium-

the chief motive Of the play. See it

If in the future some of Keokuk's

Civil war veterans are very

preciate the value of records better

morrow you may see your own par
tcular Sammy on the screen. Others
have done so and the showing OF

In the recent showing of the films
in Cincinnati, Lieut.. r. S. Davis, U.

somewhere in France" was recog-
nized. His friends discovered him
in the aviation field pictures with a

Albeit, former clergymen of the
