TOO OLD TO WEAR THE KHAKI

I hear the bugle calling,
Just as in Sixty-one;
l see the boys go marching
To the tum-tum Of the drum;
How wish that l were with them,
With Uncle's boy so true;
How I'd like to wear the Khaki
AS in Sixty-one the Blue.
I know I yet could carry
And "shoulder arms" my gun;
But couldn't stand the marching
AS | did in Sixty-one,
But, oh, to hear that bugle,
Calling every comrade true
And too old for Khaki,
Though l proudly wore the Blue.
Too old to wear the Khaki,
So l gave my son instead;
To fight for dear Old Glory,
Though he may come back dead.
But gladly I shall give him
To the dear Red, White and Blue.
Too old to wear the Khaki,
Or I'd be with him, too.

Back in the Vanished Country
! There's a cabin in lane,
Across the yellow sunshine;
And the silver Of the rain;
A cabin, summer-shaded,
Where the maple whispered low
Dream stories of the world winds
That fellow used to know;
And it's queer that, turning gray,
Still a fellow looks away
To land he knows has vanished
Down the Path of Yesterday.
Back in the Vanished Country
There's dream that used to be
Of Fame within the city
And a name beyond the sea;
A dream Of laurel wreathings
That came singing through the light
The story of the glory
Of the victor in the fight;
And it's queer that, worn and gray,
Still a fellow looks away
70 dream he knows has vanished
Down the Path Of Yesterday.

WAR SAVINGS

Thrift Stamps and War Savings
Stamps are the most democratic of
investments and America expects ev-
cry American to show love for republl-
can institutions by investing in this
democratic security. The aggregate
amount of the investments and the
number of investors in these War
Savings securities are in a way the
answer of the people Of this great
Democracy to the call of the cause of
democracy throughout the world and
the vindication of civilization and hu-
mainly.
They afford every person, however
humble and however small his means,
the opportunity to contribute his part,
to do his bit, in this great struggle
against the military masters Of Ger
many who seek to dominate the world
in contempt of justice and right and
freedom and without conscience and
without mercy.
Surely every American desires to
have a part in the defeat of autocracy
and the success Of liberty and right.

Lakota Observer: The only thing
that We editor has against woman's

if they do just what will happen is
awful-breakfast at 8, lunch at ~ m.
and dinner at 5, and the rest of the "a

but think Of nothing to eat from p.

help yourself. We cannot see where

RIALTO OFFERS : MARY GARDEN IN
 SCREEN TRIUMPH Il
"The Splendid Sinner" Is a Vehicle in Which Famous Star Excels Work
 in "Thais"

Mary Garden, Americas most ceie- brated woman and actress, will be present at the Rialto today for four days engagement in the screen ssn- sation. 'The Splendid Sinner" Mary Garden, according to critics, scores her greatest screen triumph in this wonderful picture and even excels her work in ''Thais.''
 With half the world at her feet IS the mistress of Rudolph von Torn, Dolores Fargis, played by Mary Gar den, Is made miserable by her con science. She despises the man whose chattel she Is and when finally she breaks with him she seeks quiet in the solace of the country. Hugh Max well, young physician. meets her and falls in love with her. They are mar ried, and not until Won zorn confronts his former misterss does Maxwell know what manner of woman he has married, and he leaves her. Dolores becomes a nurse in a French hospital. which Is under German guard, A wounded soldier entrusts her with dispatches he Is bearing to the French In the burst of feeling hus- band and wife recognize each other and they arc later arrested for con- spiracy. By splendid sacrifice Dolores enables her husband to escape over the lines.
 Mary Garden, so newspapers have generally declared, is the greatest of .fering the 4stagA has made the screen. and they are loud in praise of the work of this famous artist on the screen. In ..Thais'' they declare she appeared wonderful but in The Splendid Sin ner,. she scores triumph. The cast chosen to support Mary Garden in The Splendid Sinner" is one of especial ex- cellence. While the production Is an elaborate one and the drama is tense with big situations there Is not com fusion of principals. Again Hamilton Revelle, remembered for his admirable work in '~Thais," plays opposite the star.
 During his distinguished career he has supported Olga Nethersole, Mrs Leslie Carter. Frances Starr Otis Skin- ner and others. Anders Randolph. noted for his excellent "heavy work" on the screen, plays Mary Gardens evil genius in "The Splendid Sinner" role which demands finesse and power. Others In the cast are Robert Beliinger. Hassan Musalli and Henry Pettibone. all con- triputing much to maintain the high standard of acting in 'srhe Splendid Sinner" This production is expected to prove one of the treats of the local motion picture season It opens at the Rialto today.
