EXPECT APPEALS FROM
WORK OR FIGHT ORDER

Sioux Falls, S. D., July 12.-1t is ex-
pected that a number OF persons in
terested in lines and occupations af-
Iected by the work or fight order of the
state council OF defense, issued yes
terday In South Dakota, who, by the
order are held to be engaged in nom
essential occupations, will seek to have
the council of defense modify the
order.
one OF the surprises contained in the
order was the placing Of proprietors
OF pool and billiard halls on the same
oasis as employees of those institu-
tlons and declaring both engaged in
nonessential occupation. If the state
council OF defense adheres to the order
IN th1s respect, all pool and billiard
mans In South Dakota will have ia
close; and the proprietors and employees
WIN nave TO seek work which is more
important in the winning of the
war. .Ao
Capltalists, upon whom the order
places a ban, holding that they must
engage in useful war work, also are ex-
pected to make a vigorous protest, and
the same is true in the cases Of real
estate brokers who have been declared
engaged in a nonessential %occnnation
Wnen they have no regularly estab-
lished business. This is believed to
apply to so called "curbstone" real
estate men. who have no regular Offices
anu 1or the most part transact their
business on the streets or in other ir.
regular ways.
Several thousand male sale clerks in
stores. Offices and other mercantile
establishments throughout South Da-
kota, who can be replaced by female

SOLDIERS WORRY BUT
LlTTLEiOvER FUTURE

Wentworth, S. D., July 13.-The
devil-may-care nature of the average
American soldier now on the battle
front in France is revealed by the fol-
lowing extract from a letter just re-
ceived from RUDE Dyce, a Wentworth
young man, who is with the United
States engineers in France:
There vas a big troop train just
went by to the front. We were out
kidding them, telling them that they
would ever come back. They just
laughed and seemed to be in the best
of spirits-no one is down hearted over
here, and we all have q good time be-
tween ourselves. One sure sees some
comical sights among the soldiers"
Even being told that they would
never come back did not affect the
soldiers who heard the shouts of those
bantering them; they evidently on
cluded that to go into the battle zone
was all in the days work.

According to Jesse L. Lasky, vice.

department of the Famous Players
Lasky Corporation, Loves Conquest"
based upon the famous play of "Gis-
monda" by Victorien Sardou, starring
Lima Cavalieri, the famous diva. is one
OF the most remarkable productions
ever made by any motion picture con-
corn.
The production was great under
taking" said Mr.. Lasky in a recent
interview. THE proper presentation
Of the splendor of an Athenian court
of the early sixteenth century required
a vast amount of study and prepare
ton and no expense was spared to
make this picture historically correct
in every detail That the people of
this country Will agree that we have
succeeded In producing notable pho
toplay, seems to US to be certainty
Thousands OF persons were employ
ell by Director Edward Jose in the
production and many massive sets
were erected at enormous expense.
Loves Conquest" which Will be seen
here with Lima Cavalieri at the Isis
Theatre next Sunday, doubtless Will be
an epoch at that playhouse. Nine.
Cavalieri is admirably supported BY
such sterling players as Courtenay
Foote, Fred Radcliffe, Frank Lee and
others.
