The FIRST TO fall.
Ernest I. Birch, Son Of John +. Birch
Of Albee, the First Of Grant COun-
tvs Soldiers to Make the
Great Sacrifice.

The first Of the week Hon. ]. r.
Birch of Albee received a telegram
from the war department stating
that his son. Ernest T. Birch, was
killed in action on July 10. and the
daily papers the first of the week
had the name among the casualties.
There are now we believe some
thing over four hundred of the
young men Of Grant county in the
military service of the country, and
Ernest Birch is the first to make
the supreme sacrifice. and give up
his young life in the great war for
freedom and humanity. Before
the final battle is won there will
undoubtedly be others from our
own community to fall in like man
ner for the flag that is to free the
world from Prussian junkerism and
frightfulness, and we may well
steel ourselves for the ordeal. The
same sorrow and grief that has
come to the Birch family has been
coming to thousands of homes scat
tered all over the land, will come
to thousands Of other families. and
is likely to come again to those in
our own community at almost any
time. But it is not a sorrow with
out hope or JOY in it, for the cause
for which these young men are Civ
ing up the great gift of life with
utter abandon. is so great and un-
selfish that with the grief there is
mingled holy pride and joy.
1t will be for those of us who re-
main in the homeland to see that
the memory of those who fall shall
be cherished in all the days to come,
and the story Of their sacrifice re-
hearsed to our children's children
in the generations Of Americas
progress.
Ernest Theodore Birch was born
in Grant county, and was in the
25th year Of his age, a young man
Of fine physical and moral qualities,
and when the call came to Ameri-
cas- young manhood he answered
the summons with enthusiasm, and
enlisted on May 5th, 1917, in the
10Th regiment Of regulars. and this
regiment was among the first Amer
lean troops to arrive in France
and get into action.
Mr.. Birch has another son in the
army, Robert Engwald, a younger
brother, who is also enlisted in the
battle for world freedom and civil
lization, and we believe is now in
France, with more than million
other freedom loving Americans,
and to be reinforced by still other
millions until the black darkness of
Prussian diabolism has been for.
ever swept from the earth, and the
world can know that lasting peace
has come to the children Of men.

ALADDIN and The Won.
DERfUL LAMP.
A Fox Middle Feature at Bentley
Grand, wednesday Aug. q.

The scene of aladdin and the
Wonderful Lamp" is laid in Bag
dad and at the opening the two
principal characters are Introduced,
one being Aladdin, the son of a
tailor, and the other the Princess,
who is the daughter of the Sultan.
Aladdin is known chiefly because
he is ''pure at heart" The Prince
ess is receiving attentions from q
Magician, which attentions are very
distasteful to her and she does not
hesitate to show it.
In her rides about Bagdad she
has interested the son of the tailor
and he is greatly attracted to her.
When she is being pressed by the
suit of the Magician she decides
upon the very womanly method Of
escaping the betrothal which the
undesirable suitor seeks.
The Princess goes out riding one
day on camel and when passing
by the shop in which Aladdin is
working her slipper falls off and on
to the street. The boy picks it up
and gives it to her. This the be-
ginning of the acquaintance.
The Magician, however, sees this
act and knowing that the boy is
@'pure at heart decides to use him
to get hold of the wonderful lamp
which he knows is hidden in a great
cave that is controlled by genie.
He wins the confidence of the boy
and finally persuades him to go to
the cave and procure the lamp.
Aladdin has to enter the cave alone
and after picking up the lamp he
rubs it and a genie appears to him
and tells him of its great value---
that whosoever rubs it can receive
any wish. The Magician succeeds,
however. in getting the lamp from
Aladdin before Aladdin can make
the one wish of his heart---that is.
the betrothal of the Princess.
Then follows a series of events
where the lamp passes from one to
the other each taking advantage of
it when it is in his possession to
further his suit for the hand Of the
beautiful girl.
Finally, after the Magician sees
that he can not win the girl even
with the immense gifts that he is
able to present her through the
possession of the lamp, he decides
to abduct her and take her to his
dese.t home. He does this and
when she will not consent to a be-
trothal he places her in a den Of
lions and tells her he will lift the
door between them and she will be
devoured unlese-she consents.
In the meantime, Aladdin has
learned Of the Princess being taken
away and follows her. He almost
perishes in the desert, but finally
the horsemen Of the Sultan arrive
and rescue him and he points out
the Magician palace. They arrive
just in time for Aladdin to rescue
the Princess and the magician is
finally thrown into the lions den
and meets his fate.
The betrothal of Aladdin nd the
Princess is then announced.
