Tho First Scripts Twenty years ago the scenario for a story was almost frequently an idea jotted down hurriedly` on any acrap of paper that happened to ly- ing. about. Fifty feet was the length of the first so-called stories, when they developed into five hundred, which was considered quite enough film to tell any story in -even Ben Hur. When one thousand feet was reached (still the footage for one reel of film to -day) the industry set- tled down on business. Now the scenario was quite a formidable af- fair -it required sometimes two hun- dred and fifty words to tell a story, although more often .seventy-fivo or one hundred words would do.

These suits only pro- tect the hips and upper parts of the thighs and leave the balance of the body ex -posed to the sun's rays. It is well to bear in.mlind that in order to get the therapeutic benefits it is not absolutely necessary that you be exposed to the direct rays of the sun -there is the sky shine, or reflected rays from the sky and clouds. On a clear day you may lie or sit on the shady side of the house, with the blue dame above you, and get from ont:-third to one-half of the benefits of the rays of the sun that you w'onld get by exposing yoursell directly to thele. For mosquitoes, three thing, should be remembered --netting, li- quid ammonia, and coal oil.

Canada's Co-operative Sugar Pool The little village of Plessisville, Que., east of Montreal on the Canadian National Railways in the very heart of the finest mapie groves of old Quebec province, has seen developed in recent years Canada's first really big maple sugar concentration, the co -o er- attve organization known as "The Maple Sugar Producers of Quebec," Incidentally it represents Canada's latest successful effort in co- operative marketing. Some years ago the Quebec Department of Agriculture began seriously to give attention to the maple sugar industry by en- couraging and aiding the farmers in the production of a high grade maple syrup. Their efforts were largely nullified by the fact that the purchasers of the syrup gave the farmer who produced the hest quality syrup no better price than the farmer who •produced poor stuff. Then the Quebec Govern- ment went one step further and established in a small way a co- operative plant. Today, at Plessis- vtlle, this plant is operating full shift 24 hours a day, employing 28 men, taking thousands of gallons of syrup from the farmers, and manufacturing and marketing a high-grade maple sugar and syrup at the rate of two million pounds of maple sugar and 300,000 gallons of maple syrup yearly. The products are marketed under a special brand and have -Maio Canadian NaNevn' T1d'a•,as found a world market, though most of tho product is market ed in Canada and in the Eastern States. Thousands of farm r,. now 11nelit by the new maple auger -pool," and the maple sugar industry is at last on a huge c•0nnnereial /male. Further steps have been taken by the Quebec Government to extend the organization among the farm- ers. The organization is operated exactly as Canada's wheat pool, the farmers obtaining full benefit of top price. The pictures show tanks in the factory at Plessisville, and inset u sixty -pound cake of maple sugar packed ready for shipment.
