for the Americans who fell In the

for religion today than at any other
time.
Several hundred persons gathered to
do honor to the employes of the Post
Office who sought service in the world

In calling for it greater religious ten
dency, Mr. l.ogtie made It plain that

nounce the radicals who, ho said, were
trying to destroy America, and urged
that proper steps ho taken to appre
hend them and plncc them where their
"flendlsli desires could bear but little
fruit."
"Any man who endeavors to destroy
this glorious country," Mr. Loguc
urged, ".hnnld be handled with a mailed
fist."
"The military men ennnot nlone pre
serve this country." he warned. "There
must he oo-operntiou among us all from
the smnllest boy to the President of the
('tilted States. AVhen we get this co
operation then wc may all rest assured
that this country of the people, for the
people and by the people will not per
ish from this earth."
The tablet, bearing nearly -100 names.
was unveiled by Mis Margaret II. hmall.
It was presented on behnlf of the cm

NEW SENNETT COMEDY
j
Hilarity Marks 'Down on the Farm'
' ' ' lnC rarl
I at Metropolitan
Down on the Farm" or up in the
Metropolitan, this is n good comedv. In
fact, it is one of the best things that has
come out of the fun farm for a long
while and the fertility of the plot is
such that it will raise n crop of laughs
anywhere. Mntk Sennett, ns the chief
overseer of the cultivation of the ciop
of fun. has not omitteil nnc tl,i., ,i,n.
would ndd to the o.uality or ipmntitv of
the harvest of hilarity of this species,
Many humorous things hnppen down
on the fnim, but rarely have they been
so exaggerated with hilarious results as
are evidenced in the second film plnv of
the season ut the Metropolitan Opera
House. Heretofore comedies of the
slapstick order hove lacked a definite
plot and depended upon the hokum
rough sort of humor for laughs, but In
this piece theio is a real plot. Taken
seriously, it xvoulil mnkd n thrilling talc
of love nnd marriage.
Animal actors have important parts
in many nf the scenes of litis plnv. Cats
rats, geese, horses, dogs and chickens
add ntniosiiliere to the rustic settings.
Probably the best work of these pets is
ilono by Teddy, tho Sennett dog star.
Jinny .loan ticnry, Jr., Is a prospect for
Helinr honors by reason of his uucon
scions humor in doing his part.
Something more thnn just the rough
tvpe of comedienne characterizes Louise
razendu because at times her farce hor
ders on tho dramatic. Marie Prevost
is comely nnd chnrminir. The nntli.. f
I Ben Ttirpin, of mixed eyesight, and of
imrry tinnnon are ludicrous. Others
well cast are Billy Armstrong nnd Bert
Roach and an excellently trnlned crowd
forms the ensemble.
Briefly the story concerns an attempt
by a illian to gain tho love of n girl w lio
heroines nn heiress, while n counter
plot is unfolded In the machinations of
a landlord who desires to foreclose a
mortgage. Ahlo muslcinnshin hv nn
augmented orchestrn adds to the enjoy
ment nf the audience. It is under tlic
direction of David Dublnsky.
