friends and the following little poem, en-
titled as above comes of that friendship
What Robin said to me,
Beneath my cherry tree,
With cherries ripe above and red;
A saucy bird is he
He wings about so free,
And these the saucv words he SAID;
I'll have your cherries sure,
For I'm an epicure
And jaunty, saucy, merry thiei;
I'll steal the very best
And leave for you the rest

Up in the maple tree,
Whenp babies three we shelter warm
Ira Ia, la la, there be
Nv babies, babies three,
We keep and feed and fend from harm.
Said to Robin "boy
Why will you me annoy
Bv stealing cherries all the day.
I've spaded in the ground
All spring, and you have found
The worms dug out in that way.
And you'd look up to me,
And greedy, look 10 see,

Take to your babies three
The worms / d dig and I've
So glad. and now the WAY you do.

Steal cherries now and then,

GASOLINELESS DAYS.
Another Conservation Move Hinted al
in Washington.

Louis Garthc, writing 10 the Baltimore
American from Washington, saws.
The gasolineless day bids fair soon
To ioin the whcatless and the meatless
DAYS. The shortage OF the gasoline sup
ply IS becoming so acute that the govern
ment is growing apprehensIve and a
marked reduction in the use Of gasoline bv
the civilian public is essential. 1t Is
stated that before many days the oil
administrator. Mr. Requa, will announce
that the government Will take over
all the rehnerics II will not operate
them itself but will control the entire
output bv the license system Fuel oil is
practically already under government
control through the recent order which
created pool of all the output OF the
American wells.
1t Is now expected that the govern
ment, By licensing the oil rehneries, will
control the output OF all the petroleum
products. This, Of course. Will include
naphtha, benzine. Illuminating oils and
all the other oil products, IN addition to
gasoline.
VOLUNTARY COOPERATION.
II is the purpose OF the oil admin
istration to begin the saving of gasoline
by the voluntary cooperation Of the
public. Every automobile user Will first be
requested TO leave his automobile In its
garage for one day each week This volun-
tary abstention Will be permitted TO con
tinue for period long enough to enable
the oil administrator 10 decide # enough
gasoline Is being saved to remedy the
existing shortage II it does not prove
. satisfactory the gasolineless day viii be
made obligatory. and if one day week
is not sufficie lent two days viii be set apart.
The oil administration is unwilling to use
harsh measures. and it is quite probable
that al first the gasless day will apply only
TO pleasure vehicles, but the lines will be
gradually drawn tighter until only the
absolutely indispensable use OF gasoline

Men 10 to SO WIN Be Called at Once.

Every man between the ages of 10
and SO, unless he is an essential part
of the industrial machinery of the ma.
ton, will be called into service without
delay This is the decision of Pro.
vost Marshal Crowder.
The s'man-power bill' is a law and its
administration has begun. The work
of registration and classification will
consume just II hundred days from
September 9TH 1t is n task almost SUI
perhuman, but it win be accomplished.
The most intelligent administrative
machinery ever proposed by Il nation
has already been devised.
The administration does no intend,
however, to repeat England's blunder
of depicting the man-power of industry
until men must be recalled from the
fighting lines to save the situation.
There must be no more loss in pro.
duction," is the word of the govern
ment. The wheels of industry must
not lack propelling force"

Mrs. HI A. Hunter last Saturday night

fairs of h a A swarm of automo-
biles from up and down the valley, all

way to Big Greek until the place was

The dancing proceeded far into Sun

chestra and the general good spirit of
the occasion made stopping almost i'm

KAISER, THE BEAST OF BERLIN.
Any Audience That Can See This Great
Film and Not Get the Fighting
Spirit is I'm American.

On Saturday evening of next week,
September p, Manager Johnson of the
local moving picture house will give
his patrons an opportunity to witness
that greatest of war pictures, 'The
Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin" On ac-
count of the hall being too small to ac-
commodate an unusual crowd. Mr..
Johnson will give two performances,
the first beginning at 6 O'Clock sharp,
and the second at 8. or 500. Admis-
sion will be % and so cents.
This photoplay delivers n powerful
patriotic message and gives the public
anI.'inside'' story of the life of the man
who, by his despotic and barbarous
ideas, a set the entire world aflame.
The photoplay gives us a more force
fui, clearer understanding of why the
United States has entered the war-to
stamp out kaiserism.
The picture chronicles i'm vivid truth
fitness Belgium and her inoffensive
peoples before the invasion of the Ger
man hosts, shows the treatment of the
peasants by the German army as il
plows through Belgium and its inhab-
itants. * the spectator into the i'm
pe1ial palace Ii he chambers of the
kaiser and unfolds startling, repugnant
insights into his private life.
All the madness of the war-crazed
mind of the kaiser, all the viciousness
or the crimes perpetrated in his name
II under his orders. are shown in this
picture with a ~vividness at once hor-
rible and thrilling. The sacking of Lou
vain is reproduced with infinite atten-
ton to detail, Immediately after the
first scenes of the film showing Bel
GUM in times of peace.
The downfall of Berlin and imprison-
ment of the kaiser closes the picture.
through which runs a small tragic story
of the love of a young Belgian girl, the
destruction of her home and the death
of her fiance. Rupert Julian takes the
leading role as the kaiser.
