Poppies

Poppies in the wheat fields on the pleas
ant hills Of France,
Reddening in the summer breeze that
bids them nod and dance;
Over them the skylark sings his lifting
liquid tune
Poppies in the wheat fields, and all the
world in June.
Poppies in the wheat fields, on the road
to Monthiers-
Hank, the spiteful rattle where the
masked machine guns play!
Over them the shrapnels song greets the
summer morn
Poppies in the wheat felds--but, ali, the
fields are torn
See the stalwart Yankee lads, never ones
to blanch,
Poppies in their helmets as they clear the
shallow trench.
Leaping down the burrows with eager,
boyish tread,
Through the popped wheat fields to the
flaming woods ahead.
Poppies in the wheat fields as sinks the
summer sun,
Broken, bruised and trampled, but the
bitter day Is won;
Yonder in the woodland where the flash
ing rifles shine,
With their peoples in their helmets, the
front files hold the line.
Poppies in the wheat fields; how still be-
side them lie
Scattered forms that stir not when the
star shells burst on high;
Gently bending Ger them beneath the
moons soft glance,
Peoples of the wheat fields on the ran
somed hills of France.

Stars and Stripes.

HAUBEK THEATRE,

Kitty Gordon's new World-Picture ",The Wasp" is an action picture. a speed production. It is one of the fastest, most gripping, attention rivet- ing pictures in which this beautiful and accomplished actress has ever ap- peared The Hauber theatre is fort unate in having secured this superior production for showing today. Much of the action centers around an effort made by German spy to blow up the war munitions factory owned by the father of Grace Culver, the central figure in the play. The role of Miss Culver is superbly played by Miss Gordon and the characterization she gives this role is one of the very best that she has yet given the screen. As is always the case in Miss Gordons plays she wears a great variety of gor- seous and expensive gowns in this and, as The Wasp" has been lavishly staged and the story is all that could be desired, it is evi- dent that in this picture the film fans have supreme screen entertainment.

Peo' pie are not in the habit of looking at it that way. They think it Is nothing to take ten minutes of mans time for which he is paid three to ten dol. lars day. If one remembers the old adage that time is money, he will coli- clude he is thief If he takes either. Character consists in making honest use Of ones time. whether he works on a salary or by the minute. It is character that he insist upon, not so much the economy involved as the no bility of selfhood. That should be the treasure of every true man.

CORONER WILLIAMS
 SEEKS REELECTION

Dr. H. E. Williams announces that he seeks the Democratic nomination for coroner, the duties of which office he has discharged for several years.
 How the voters feel about Dr. Will Hams and the coronership is best indi- cated by the vote he received in the Democratic primary in 1915, when, of the 2,334 ballots cast for coroner, he received 1716.
 Dr. Williams is so well known and esteemed turnout Jefferson county that little can be said about him that is net already known. Of a kindly, sympathetic nature, with rich vein of humor, Dr. Williams enjoys the friendship and affection of hundreds because of numerous acts of kindness and the disposition to be of service to his fellowman, an attribute dis played on many occasions.
 It ma ybe said incidentally that enc of the reasons why the voters of Jef- ferson will again have opportunity to show their friendship for Dr. Williams is because his government will not al- low him to go to the front. The cor oner is patriotic American, and noth- ing would suit him better than to take his old squirrel gum and bunch of old-time squirrel shooters and go against the Germans. Dr. Williams eye is as keen as his mind-and that's as clear as that of any man within the select draft limit-and he is con- fident that he and his squirrel shoot CTS would waste no ammunition Gov CT there;" that there'd be one enemy less every time he and any one of the old squirrel shooters pressed the trig ger. sending the little pellets of lead humming dirge for the Hun. But the government fellows think that civ ilians past 40 cannot be trained to stand the strain of trench warfare, and so Dr. Williams will continue to serve the people of Jefferson county. and his friends declare that hundreds here are glad that the situation, as it relates to him. is as it is.
