EdaIItOTT, PtintasnER arm PROPtvrutt THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1913 k • 2hetide of immigration flowing to this country has been growing higher and higher since the off-year of 1947.08 The following are the figures: 1907-190x' 262,469 1908.1919 .. 1411,908 19119-1910 1910-1911 1911-1912 1912-1913 . This year probably half a come, unless something check the stream. It must be confessed that while this country will soon be able to absorb half a million settlers a year, it can- not possibly do this at the present time. The Government statistics make it clear that the great majority of the immigrants have been heading for the industrial places, and the rush in the last three years to Ontario is very marked. In 1912-1913 actually a ma- jority of settlers remained east of Lake of the Woods. O: e.3area, were are no hard times in the country, and no excuse for a cala- mity cry. But owing to the peculiar financial stringency that has got hold of Canada, as well as other countries, it is not at all unlikely that even with- out added immigration there may be a good many out of work in the cities east and west in the course of the coming winter. Everything is es- sentially sound, but a period of finan- cial readjustment is in progress. It would be better if the immigration department world at least suspend its activities for six months or a year, or even positively discourage Britons and foreigners, excepting farm laborers and domestic servants, from coming, until the country has got by the string- ency and digested the arrivals of 1913. In the depression of 1907-08, the Govern- ment promptly took steps to check the influx with the success which the figures above for 1008-09 show. Thus the un- employment evil was minimized. At the same time the Government's action in requiring each imrnigrant to be in possession of e50 did not discourage any who were fully prepared for their ad- venture, and soon the tide rose again, with renewed prosperity, higher than ever. Some step taken at once by the Government to check immigration, particularly of urban people, for the rest of this year, may prevent much dissatisfaction and hardship. THE TIDE OF NEW -COMERS.

(From The Financial Post.) A prominent Canadian who makes an annual trip through the West has re- cently returned from his 1913 visit He is a man who hr.s never been particu- larly optimistic about that part of the country. The serious problems which the west has to meet, in fact, have al- ways been very prominent in his view. This year he is more hopeful, however, because of the fact that the mixed farming propaganda has been making harked headway. Very real progress has been made during the past year and both Alberta and Saskatchewan are now spending much money in fur- thering a more scientific type of farm- ing. They are sending out mixed farm- ing special trains with lecturers and demonstrators, while the C.P.R., through its press agency department, is doing much to educate the country in diversified agriculture, A group of milk cans is this year a common sight at the stations in many parts of these Provinces, From two to one hundred hogs per farm are common, while cattle and poultry are more usual as farm products than last year. The papers a day or two ago, indeed, an- nounced that the C,P.R. had shipped from the West, in the first six months of this year, 118,000 hogs from a cer- tain number of stations, as against 72,- 000 from the same stations for the whole of the preceding year. These facts mean a great deal to the West and to the whole of Canada. '''hey mean that the farmer and the district in which he lives is benefitted as re- gards economic conditions and has money to spend all the year instead of during one period chiefly. The risks of such mixed farming are very much scattered, whereas the wheat farmer is to a considerable extent a gambler on the result of his year's labor. The agricultural change is sure to place the cost of living on a more nor- mal- basis, which will ultimately help the West to develop industries and thus insure a more permanent development than would otherwise result after the chief building era in the West has passed.

Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh be- ing a constitutional disease requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca- tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly on the blood and mucuous sur- faces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giv- ing the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address F. J.

Amongst the strange oceupationa tftlle0l into existence by the moving 1 ,cture boom, surely the queerest fs,, 4' that of the "dud spatter," as he les Palled. One Spotter, at least, • attaehed permanently to each of the specialty- built pecialtybuilt studios --high buildings of glass, an.I iron -wherein the leading picture - play producing companies film their scenario$. His business is carefully to follow the production of the pictures, and r note the costumes of -the players, anti the way they are worn. The reasons far this is that the var- ious scenes in any one play are not necessarily filmed consecutively. For example, one showing the villain leav- ing the perseeuted heroine in tears in- side a room, may be photographed weeks before the scene that shows him stepping out into the open to encoun- ter the avenging hero on the doorstep. although on the screen one scene fol- lows a second or two after the other. Actors and actresses are liable to forget, in these circumstances, what they were during such and 'such a scene, and how it was ---nr3, and it is the duty of the spotter to set theta right. Bird -scaring, again,- is a juvenile calling that is generally associated with agriculture and life in the open fields. But inside most of the studios also a- lad is employed in bird -scaring during the actual filming of the scenes. Speaking of the camera man, it may be mentioned that he has an assistant. known familiarly as the "paint guy." It is his business to superintend the "make-up" of the performers, which 1s of a peculiar type, and altogether different from that practiced by or- dinary actors and actresses. Cheeks and Iips, for instance, have to be dyed blue instead of red, and anything that has to come out white on the picture, as, for example, s girl's throat, is dyed yellow. An actress, therefore, in evening dress made up to play before the cam- era is not an altogether pretty sight. Then there is the individual known as the "faller Off." This man earns his living by falling off precipices, out of aeroplanes, over railway bridges, and so on, in scenes where it is impossible to use a dum- my. This is his sole business, He doea nothing else but heroic deeds. For example, supposing the hero, after a desperate struggle with the villain, is hurled over the edge of the rock gorge, and goes rolling and tumb- ling down the steepy sloping bak to the bottom. Up to the point where he has, in stage parlance to do a "break -away." he goes at it, of course, for all he is worth. But he is not the man you see pitch over the cliff and roll to the bottom. He leaves that part of the business to the faller -off, the camera being stopped for a minute or two to enable the men to change places. Of course, he is made exactly to resemble the hero, and it is impos- sible for the audience to detect the difference when the picture is thrown on the screen so everybody is satle fled. The hero who is a highly pal_ artist is glad to be relieved of the un- pleasant and dangerous part of the scene, the company is pleased because it does not have to run the risk of having one of the leading actors in- jured and laid up for an indefinite period, while the faller -off, who is ins variably a trained athlete, and harts as nails, rarely suffers any worst hurt than a few superficial cuts and bruis- es, andnot always even these. Probably amongst all the people who specialize in the production of picture -plays, however, there is none whose work is so arduous and exact- ing as the general property man. For anything and every thing that goes wrong with the inanimate machinery of a drama he is held responsible.
