DIR. LAKELAND In GREAT SfsER.
MON. %
Spent Three Weeks i'm Educational
Raising Campaign in
East

DR.. G. S. Lakeland, former pastor
of the Methodist church in DEBORAH,
now pastor of the Methodist church
in West Union has just returned
from great trip, and the West
Union papers speak very highly Of
the popular young pastor, and the
message he delivered to his congre-
cation in West Union last Sunday
Following is from the West Union
Gazette:
"Rev. G. S. Lakeland, d. D., pastor
of the Methodist church, returned
Saturday from his four weeks stay
in the east. He spent three weeks
in an educational money-raising cam
paign in Vermont, mostly near Mont
pelier, the state capital, and then put
in a week of whirl-wind sight seeing
at Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
and Washington. Few men on earth
can get over more ground or see
more things in given time than can
DR.. Lakeland, and from. this trip,
which he refers to as the greatest
experience of his life, he returned
with head and heart full of new
things, mainly bearing on Americas
part in the war. His message Sun
day morning, THE Spirit of
America" is pronounced by his
congregation the best utterance they
have heard from him during his
pastorate, so they feel well repaid
for giving him the one months leave
of absence.

More Home Papers is Appeal of u.
$. Soldiers in England.

London, July 11.--"More home
newspapers" is the constant appeal
from American soldiers in the camps
and hospitals in Great Britain, says
a Red Gross report made public to-
day
The American Red Cross commit
tee in London now is furnishing
reading matter for $4,000 men
weekly, but the supply consists large
ly OF books.
The supply of home newspapers is
not equal to one-tenth the demand
for them.
Regarding books" the report
says, 1.-THE men ask for fiction, and
light fiction for that, but the Ameri-
can magazines and newspapers give
them far greater satisfaction"

New Hampton Gives Up Chautauqua

In closing it's account of the New
Hampton chautauqua session, the
Tribune says:
'The chautauqua made practically
no effort to get guarantee for an
other season, hence none was secured
and no doubt we will be without this
popular amusement next year. This
will be regretted by many. We often
spend more for single program than
this whole week cost each individual,
and yet many programs were worth
the price of the whole season ticket"

Send Them Back to Their Own
Country.

A way at last has been opened for
sending back to their own countries
those persons who have persisted in
talking against the country of their
adoption and in taking their stands
with the old countries. 1t has been
said that the gates of Castle Garden
never, swings outward, but if such is
the case, these gates will shortly be
provided with new hinges, that per-
NIT them to swing in either direction
as the need arises.
A federal court has already taken
action along the lines suggested. At
Seattle a naturalized citizen of the
United States has been stripped Of
his American citizenship because OF
his violation of his oath of allegiance
and has been ordered interned as an
alien enemy for the duration of the
war. When hostilities are over he
will find himself once more subject
of the kaiser, undesirable in the
United States and, certain of depor-
tation to Germany. Attorney Gener-
al Gregory, passing briefly on this
case said: "Other similar cases will
follow"
And the justice of the procedure
be questioned. A mans home
or his country-is where his heart
Is, and that is where he belongs.

Pierre, s. D.-Many inquiries are
coming to the State immigration de-
partment for work on farms but
some of the, applicants who admit
they have never tried out farm work,
appear TO have rather confused
idea of what is wanted.
One applicant said he would take
a JOB at 500 month, along with a
separate house for himself and wife
with privileges of a garden and
chickens, COW and man to care for
these features for him.

EIGHT YEAR OLD PLUCK

Pluck is not matter of years. Lit
tie eight year old Elizabeth James,
has enough for soldier when it comes
to comparisons. Three years ago this
tot, who is now a recognized screen
personality, was earning her way by
diving for pennies in a glass tank in
vaudeville. When she came to Uni
versal City she was known as the Bim-
mi seal because she had become such
an expert swimmer that she could
wear fish tail in the tank without
apparently impeding her speed in the
water. Annette Kellermann made
great mistake when she produced
"Neptunes Daughter" before Eliza
beth became famous enough to play
in this classic.
This aquatic young lady was. born
in Bakersfield, Cali, and it's a great
boon to her and to her family that she
was so adaptable to the screen, for it
enabled Elizabeth to quit the vaude-
vile stage and settle down, as it were,
20 acquire an education. Universal
City by law and by inclination has a.
chool for it's kiddies, presided over
regular normal school graduate
nd everything. And between studies
'e kiddies work in the scenes in which
they are cast.
The announcement that Elizabeth is
to play in support of Carmel Myers in
"Why Not" Bluebird photoplay, calls
to mind stunt she was called upon
to do in "The Savage" another Blue
bird. In one of the scenes Elizabeth
had to plunge into the icy waters OF
mountain stream high up in the Sierra
mountains. The day was warm; the
water like ice; the shock was terrific.
When the little child emerged she was
blue and it took nearly an hour to
straighten out her cramped muscles.
But the scene was not right and had
be taken again. 1t took a lot OF
pluck to go back again in that water.
Pluck is Elizabeths middle name.
ne was mighty glad that the next
scene was right, however.
OF all the leading men Elizabeth has
had both on and off the stage. Harry
Carey comes nearest her ideal.

This is Sunday and fine day. The
band was out here today and it sure
puts pep in fellow after coming out
of the trenches. The Germans tried
to take some prisoners but were fool
ed. We got four of them and killed
ten more in hand to hand fight, and
we do not know how many were kill
ed out in No Mans Land So you see
! they do not get the best Of the Ameri-
cans, it is like coming up against a
stone wall. l see by the papers that
the great drive is started on the west

ing great work. think the Dutch will
get nothing but abuse and lots of that.
