yond, where she was preceded by
four daughters and one son, leaving

The community of Cecil has lost q
faithful friend and neighbor and the
sympathy of the neighborhOod goes
out to the bereaved family.
There is a blessed home
Beyond this land of woe,
Where SORROWS never come
Nor tears of sorrow flow;
Where faith is lost in sight,
And patient hope is crowned
And everlasting light
It's glory throws around.
Look up, ye saints Of God,
Nor fear to tread below
The path your Saviour trod
Of daily toll and woe;
Wait but little while
In uncomplaining love,
His own most gracious smile
Shall welcome you above.

Representative Dale Of Yer
mont, one of the Congressional
party who visited the firing line
in Europe, brings back tale of
deficient equipment for the boys
over there which fits in well with
the disclosures which have been
made on this side of the water
regarding the deficiencies of
equipment in the training camps.
In a newspaper interview in his
own state Mr.. Dale has outlined
what he says he intends to set
forth in Congress-a picture of
an American soldier on European
soil without sufficient guns, with
out sufficient blankets, and lack
ing many other items of neces-
sary equipment. 1t was another
Vermonter, Redfeld Proctor, we
are reminded, who, in the days
preceding the war with Spain,
after a personal trip to Cuba, so
portrayed conditions in that
island in a speech before the
Senate that the country was elec-
trifed, it's duty was made clear,
and the response was prompt
and effective. Maybe Mr.. Dale
of Vermont, is now going to show
how history may repeat itself.

The first comedy offering of
Goldwyn pictures, Baby Mine, !"
to be shown at the Opera House
next Wednesday and Thursday,
introduces new star in motion
pictures, Madge Kennedy. Miss
Kennedy plays the role of Zoie,
the light-heartad bride whose
yearning for suppers and thea
tres, leads her uncompromising
young husband to abandon her.
Her scheme to get him back fur
nish the situations around which
the comedy revolves. After he
has been away for some months,
Zoie causes his return with an
announcement that a baby boy
has come to the household. There
is no such thing, but Zoie pro-
poses to get one from a children's
home.
But the husband gets home
sooner than expected. There is
no baby on hand, and Jimmie,
Alfred's friend, who is brought
into the plot by Zoie, steals a
baby from founding home.
The mother of the stolen child
is soon in pursuit Of her baby, so
while Alfred is rejoicing over
the arrival of an heir, it becomes
necessary for Jimmie to get an
other baby. He "borrows" one
of the washwoman's twins and,
the first baby not having been
returned, Alfred is told that he
is the father of twins. The re-
sulting complications make all
the fun.

Arms and the Girl" the
Paramount photoplay which will
appear next Sunday for a matt
nee and evening performance at
the Opera House, follows closely
the stage version which met with
success a few years ago. Billie
Burke is the star. Briefly, the
plot is as follows An American
girl, stranded in Belgium at the
opening of the present war, in
nocently exchanges her passport
with a Russian girl-a spy. An
other American young man,
also helps the Russian girl by
the loan of his automobile.
When the Germans seize the
town the two Americans who
have not been able to escape are
held for completely, especially
the man who is ordered to be
shot, "The Girl" saves him by
declaring him to be the fiancee
she has been waiting for, and as
if to prove her statement, the
German general orders the two
to be married at once.
This is done and the two young
people find themselves in a most
embarrassing position. The hus-
band escapes however, while in
the meantime. the real fiancee
appears. The latter proves him
self to be rather a cad so the
newly married couple who are
becoming very fond of each other
resolve to do nothing about an
nulling the ceremony as they had
planned. Altogether Arms and
the Girl" is one of the most
charmingly humorous and vivid
photoplays of the season.
