Dawn

Hark, the goal is now in sight
Where we break the Germans might.
IT'S done by men who yesterday
Farmers were in Kankakee;
Blacksmiths, too, from Kalamazoo,
Bakers who kneaded dough in Kokomo
By men of every rank and trade
From Gotham to the Golden Gate.
We've got them on the run
The legions of the Hun
They, who infants and women Stayed
Cry now, have mercy "Kamerad';
Are towards in defeat
Swift runners in retreat;
1t speeds them on their way
Boys from the U. S. A.
Where our banners we unfurl
The bloody Hun we backward hurl;
Our boys on land, in air,
Are Hindenburg's despair.
They pierced the Siegfried line,
Drove 'em back toward the Rhine;
They fight till victory
Once more the world will free.
The "divine' Kaiser, overwise,
Provoked Columbia to arise;
But now he sorely rues the day
She threw her strength into the fray;
He clearly sees the end in sight
Of Hohenzollern rule and might.
The day that William Rex is gone
Will see glorious era dawn
R. II.

The Little Drum

was brave when they told me he wa
gone;
shed no tear on that awful day,
Though the only light that had ever shone
On my lonely life had passed away.
l was calm when l touched his empty bed
When gathered up his clothes and hat;
l was firm when saw his little sled
But his drum-I could not look at that.
1t seemed somehow to speak-that little
drum,
That lies neglected, silent now;
To me more eloquent, though dumb,
Than any voice on earth, i vow.
How strange, that out of all his things,
His skates, his wagon, ball and mitt.
His drum most poignant mem'ries brings
And still can not Look at it.

Last Wednesday evenings entertainment
had, as an extra attraction for the movie
fans, 500 feet of local film taken at the
Washington County Fair, which were very
interesting. 500 Red Cross Nurses from
the Washington County Chapter, headed
the parade that was filmed on one of the
main thoroughfares of Saltwater. This was
followed by scene showing the four clock
shift of munition workers leaving the Twin
City Forge and Foundry Company's plant.
A scene was here depicted that shows how
bravely the women of Minnesota have
shouldered the responsibilities of the war.
About $50 of them, some in overalls, could
plainly be seen coming out with the men
| after completing hard days work. This
is indeed the spirit that will help win the
| war. Last but not least was our old friend
and "oficial UMPIRE Mr.. L. B. KoIliner,
Mayor of Saltwater. Mayor Kolliner is
we'll known to all of us, and the flashing of
his picture was greeted with applause.
In addition to the local film we were per-
mitted to enjoy five reel asky-Famous

Irenia in the play.
Theodore Roberts is the star of the play
and an actor we'll known to the ''legimate."
His portrayal of Mr.. Hale was excellent,
he not only furnished the comedy for the
play, but the thrills also.
While Jack is busy registering love, de-
votion and fidelity for Irenia's benefit, Mr..
Roberts is busy moving the play to success
full climax, which ultimately occurs.
The play was very good and supplied all
of the different emotions that 60 to make up
successful movie.
Mr.. B. was on hand with new song en-
titled, There's Lump of Sugar Down in
Dixie" The song and the singer were
both all right and received generous share
of applause. The orchestra responded with
a splendid musical program that was very
nifty and up-to- date in every respect. The
entire program is worthy of consideration.

The Fighting Dad

l used to think, when l thoght at all,
Success was wad of money,
Or front-row seat in a senate hall,
Or kings crown-ain't it funny
But my eyes are open now, an say,
Its the gospel truth L m writin',
The one safe brand of success today
Is to win the war we're fghtin'
We can save our gold, we can lay it by
Like the hoardin's of the miser,
But we'll never spend it, you an
If we fail to trim the Kaiser.
My blood runs hot, an feel it burn,
An my temper gets to squirmin'
To think of handin' the dough 1 earn
To a flat-face, square-head German
An so IN strivin' as best 1 can
To avoid such circumstances,
By doin' my work like an honest man
An takin' no foolish chances;
For I've got youngster over there
Who counts on me as his hacker,
An since he's willin' to do his share,
I'm damned if I'll be Stacker.
1 don't give cuss for holiday
Or the old-time union hours,
I've sold my watch, an work>away
To the limit of my powers.
I'm the fghtin' dad of fghtin' son,
An here on the job I'm stickin'
Till the things we're battlin' for are won
An We handed Bill his lickin'.

At the Strand.

The Whip" the English drama
originally produced in England and
then transferred to this country for q
another period of years, is at the Strand
in film reproduction. 1t was showr
for the first time Thursday night and
proved thriller" Local rheatergoers
will remember the stage version tina,
was very creditably shown at the Odeor
some years ago. The movie version OF
The Whip" is all that the stage version
was. only in some respects the camera
shows much off stage action that the
spoken version could not show.
The Whip" is melodrama and then
some, with all the action possible. +,
was good stage show and is rattline
good movie. Only slight changes have
been made in the film version from
the play as written for the stage. All
the big features have been retained
and have been elaborated on to an ex-
tent that was not possible on the stage
In this respect especially the movie Is
far ahead of the spoken drama
Movie fans will be interested in
knowing where some of the big scenes
were made. The film of the girls being
lost in the museum were made IN the
Eden Musee. New York, where. by
the way this scene was switched. in
stead Of being shown in the London
museum, the original setting. The race
horse scene was filmed at the Saratoga
race track. and the horse show at the
Long Branch show OF 1917. A number
of prominent society folk Of the east
have been recognized in these films.
The fox hunt was a real hunt-barring
except perhaps the insert Of the fox
breaking from cover-and was made at
the annual hunt of one Of the eastern
millionaire clubs. The train wreck
an honest to goodness wreck by the
way-was staged on a railroad in
Maryland, and because the countryside
was not advised in advance that IL was
only a movie that was being made the
news Of the disaster drew hundreds to
the scene from miles in all directions.
Another bit Of realism is the race be-
tween the auto and train, to foil the
villains of the train wreck that shows
some fast action.
Irving Cummings Is Hubert Bran
caster. the handsome hero who fears
no man and wins the hand of Diana
Beverley. who. by the way. can ride
and is good looking. Paul McAllister,
as Baron Sartoris. is regular ''he viii
lain" and his teammate in iniouity is
June ElTdge as the "she devil" Mrs.
D'Aquilla Other members Of the cast
are Harry Arson. the jockey: Jean Du-
mar Warren Cook and Alfred Hem
ming. AS a drama IN the movies THE
Whip" is hard to beat, and IL worth
seeing to any one who likes a good old :
fashioned plot with plenty OF dirty
work at the cross roads," action and
big scenes.

This city was chosen as the meeting

and social features. This year the
annual dinner was dispensed with on
account of the war.
There was feeling in the convention
at Cedar Rapids that the 1919 conven-
ton, which will be the sixteenth, should
not be held because Of the war. Head
quarters OF the national association
advised the convention by wire. how
ever. that the federal government had
sanctioned the holding Of all the state
association conventions because of fuel
