Apparently motion picture producers
who deal only with gigantic . undertaking,
such as "The Birth of a Nation." "Intol-
erance," "Cabiria," "Hearts of the World,"
and similar unusual features, has tenaper-
aments and souls. The report comes from
the studios of David Wark Griffith at Los
Angeles that this producer, working over
the arrangement of his greatest triumph,
"Hearts of the World" now being shown
at Town Hall, Wingharre Thursday Eve'g
Dec, 12th spent sleepless nights -and seem-
. ingly unending days of meneal torture, ov-
er the necessary cutting of his precious
filra. When it is known'that Mr. Griffith
actually "shot" more than 120,000 feet of
film, the sacrifices he made to get his pro.
duction.down to an evening's entertain-
ment requiring but 12,000 feet " may be
appreciably imagined. Perhaps Mr.
Griffith's experience -may be best under-
stood in his own terms.
When I returned to America last No-
vernber, I brought with me enough film to
reach a distance of 25 ram Consider-
ably more than 100,000 feet were secured
during the eighteen months that our com-
pany was abroad. The labor entailed in
securing this precious material was the
hardest I have ever know, and taxed the
strength and endurance of every player in
the cast almost to the breaking point.
While the actual work itself would leave
been considered of the most strenuous
character executed in a motion picture
studio, when it is considered that the
players appearing in "Hearts of the.
World" suffered additional handicaps by
reason of the war -stricken country gn
which we labored, and that we weremany
times under actual bombardment, seeking
refuge in cellars and dugouts, the tremen-
dous strain of the work may be better
appreciated here at home.
Of the thousands of feet of film exposed
in this meet. it was of course impossible
for me to use in 'Hearts of the World'
more than enough to make an evenings
entertainment of some three hours. This
• requires about 12,000 feet, so my friends
can imagine the suffering I endured dur-
ing the long days add nights that my
camera marketed I spent in cutting this
almost priceless material. Every inch of
those-discardedleet seemed like a drop of
Wood from my very heart, and f must
cenfees that it was the saddest experience
have ever had in my like. Every turn
of the *dank during the taking of scenes
in France represented the realization of
my greatest ambitione-to give to America
a romance of the great war -and to have
to cut it down to its present size was to
me like cutting off the ears of a favorite
son. It was the keenest torture to me."

Case
As we expected by almost everyone the
• result of the North Hurn election on
Monday resulted in a victory for the Lib-
eral, W. IL Fraser, by the majority of
1,203 over his nearest opponent Dr. Coe
Mr. Spotten and his supporters maintain-
ed that he would run Fraser a close chase
but most liberals and conservatives we
agreed that Case would run better than
Spotton.
The election of Mr, Fraser was clue to
the farmers vote, combined with a few
conservatives who knowing that owing to
the split in the Conservative party their
candidate could not win. Mr, Fraser
held no public meetings during the entire
campaign but personally canvassed the
great majority of the electors. Mr. Spot.
ton stumped the riding front one end to
the other and many of his addresses were
so bitter and filled with so much abuse
to those who were supporting the Gov-
ernment candidate that it is no wonder
that he came last.

The Presbytery of Maitland met on
Wednesday in St. Andrews Church, Wing
ham, in the interests of the forward move-
ment., There was a splendid representa-
tation from all the charges in the Pres.
bytery. R e v. Professor Kilpatrick, of
Toronto, dealt with the home mission
problems that confront the church. Dr,
R. P. McKay, foreign mission secretary,
presented the foreign mission needs, while
Miss E. Mitchell, field secretary of the
Women's Missionary Society, showed the
work that the society was doing and the
needs of the present work. R. D. Cam-
eron of Lucknow, presented the claims of
the aged and infirm ministers and the
widows' and orphans' funds. At the even
ing session a rousing address wo given by
Prof. Kilpatrick on "See/Wardship and the
Proper Use of Motley." Rev, W. J. Knox,
of London, spoke on Sunday school work
and recruits for the ministry Helpful
discussions followed the addresses,
A call from Rockwood and Eden Nil%
to Rev. John Little, of St Helens, was sus-
tained and Mr. Little's translation agreed
to, to take place on and after December1.
Rev. R. McCallum of Lucknow was ape
pointed interum moderator of the vacancy.
J. C. R0cKwELL'6 "SUNNY
SOU III" COVIPANY
That uncommonly strong combination
of colored talent, known as the J C. Rock-
well "Sunny„South" Company, the show
that never disappoints, the one that never
misrepresents, is announced to appear in
the Town Hall, Wingham, Saturday even-
ing, December Ith. This company hes
been here several times and it has always
made good every promise, delivering the
goods just as represented. As on its
former visits, it wilt be found to be clean
to a fault and during the entire perform-
ance there is not a line, an action nor an
an insinuation to which exception can be
taken. There is every ingredient of gay-
ety and melody and it is illuminated with
an Olio of top-notch and refined special-
ties, the kind that are seldom seen outside
cl the larger cities. It is snappy, gingery,
P. entertaining and well calculated to drive
away the blues. There is plenty of fun in
the performance, in fact it was built for
laughing purposes only and it is generally
conceded to be one of the funniest shows
since time began.
The organization is accompanied by a
solo concert band and an excellent orches-
tra. The "Koontown" parade, a decided
-novelty, takes place at noon. The prices
of admission have been placed at 35, 50,
75 cents including war tax. Seats are now
selling at McKibbon's Drug Store,

Fraser's majority over Case 1193.
Case's majority over Spotton 555,
Dr, Case is a quiet unassuming man
who is little given to speech making, but
the best tribute to his character is the
vote he received in Dungannon and that
vicinity where he is best known. In
Dungannon Mr. Spotton received only
one vote while in a couple of other polling
places he received none, Wingham gave
Mr. Spotton a majority of 183 over Free.
er, but hi Howl& where he expected
about 90 per cent of the total vote he got
20 per cent, Case beating hire by 124 and
Fraser by 384 votes. Several Itowick
Conservatives supported the fernier ran
didate while many stayed at home
When a person learns the vote taken
by Spotton they are inclined to be less in
doubt as to 'whether Dr. Recinseed was
not right in supporting Dr. Cate at the
convention. He evidently proved the
more popaler candidate of the two.
The result of the election does not by
any means show the attitude of the
people towards the Hearst Administration,
tar from it, it only means that while the
Conservatives were quarrelling the liber-
als saw their chance to push in their man
and we think they did perfectly right.
Many Liberals professed to be behind
Spotton to keep him in the field and to
make him believe they would elect him
while on voting day they in most cases
stood "pat" by their own side!
Mr Fraser who is Reeve of the Morris
Council bas been active in farmers' work
for a number of years His appeal dur-
ing the Contest has been to. the agdcul-
tural section of the community. For the
last four years he has been engaged in
Farmer's Institute work, and last spring
was a member of the farmers, deputation
which went to Ottawa to protest against
the Union Government cancelling the ex-
emption of farmer's sons. The member -
elect is a quiet, reserved man. Ile was
born on the farm on which he now re-
sides.
A meeting in the interests of Dr. Case
was held in the town hall, Wingham, on
Thursday evening and Hon. G. Howard
Ferguson made an excellent speech in
which he outlined the many accomplish-
tnents of the Hearst Government. Ori
Ftiday night Mr. Spotton held a meeting
and we must say that it as more of a
slanderous outburst of hot temper than a
political meeting. Several of Wingham's
most respected citizens were his target.
We learn that one statement may yet
be aired in the courts. Such tactics will
never get anyone Into Parliament.

TRIP TO IRELAND
Pt e: Deacon Explain; It As 14e Foundlt
Belled; Oct. 6th, 1918
Mr. D. Deacon,
• Wingham, Ont.
Dear Brother ;-
• Although it is eleven o'clock I 'thought
I would jot down a few lines to you, just
to let you know 1 ern stilrliving and likely
to for some time unless the unforeseen
should happen.
Don't let the- fact that this conies from
Ireland surprise you as you know I always
intended coming across if it was possible
at all. The 0. C. told us Wednesday
last that our landing leave passes were
coming through on Friday, needless to say
we were all delighted with the prospect of
a week out in public.
We left camp in time to catch the ten
train to London reaching it at noon. We
had some experiences in that burg that
afternoon as our train for Ireland did not
leave until eight o'clock,
We ran in on one road and got off the
train at Waterloo station. Officers con.
nected with the Y. M. C. A. were there
fo meet us. They marched us down a
long stairs to the underground train
station down below, we started under-
ground to Ulster station, we had to
Change trains and then take an elevator
up to the ground Level. There are miles
of tunnels under the city with stations
every where, you would think you were
travelling on a very dark night. The
whole thing is cased with enameled brick
waiting rooms as big as barns all fitted
up in the best style. It is unbelievable
until one actually goes through, though
the trains in them run very fast. When
we came up on top.the officers called out
the lads booked for Scotland and showed
them their train which left immediately
and then told we fellows booked for
Ireland that we would be free till eight.
I went out with Jack Cunningham, a lad
from Ashfield, who had went over from
here eight . years ago. He had a sister
working in a private school and wished to
• find her, he got a little mixed on the ad-
dress at first but finally got it straightened
out, it was quite a job to find a street
which was only twenty rods long in a burg
the size of London but we made out al-
right. The young lady was rather inter-
esting, she put up tea for us and then
came out to show us the city or at • least
some of it, None of us were very much
taken up with the place. It is too very
cramped and crowded. streets andwalks
being narrow and very crooked. Of
course we only seen a small part of it not
the worst part nor yet the best.
We -truck the west coast of Wales
about three or four hi the morning went
on board the ship and put in time until
daylight, before pulling out for Dublin. It
was a fast Mail and could move some, it
landed us in Dublin about eleven. We
had till three there, did not have long to
look around as we had to find a soldier's
Club and get dinner and have a general
clean up, wash, shave and shine We
only had time for a little run into the
business part before train time.
The run from Dublin to Belfast was
fine, four hours on a fast train . through
the best part of Ireland. It is a fine level
open country, good sized farms fixed off
with little hedge rows and the fields ere
good big ones until getting near here
,where the holdings are small. The farm
buildings are nice tidy • places built of
cement or stone, with nice little yards.
Sheep are very plentiful there being (kicks
ofahunbdrecelk ofracmesore, one after another
mostly ia
The towns we passed through were
pleasant looking spots, The Irish people
have grass plots where the English have
a rubbish heap, The natural scenery
is not so good as in England but the work
the people have done make up for it. ..
This burg is a credit to the country it
is sitnply grand, great wide streets with
twenty foot side walks and.to look at the
people you might think you were back in
London, Ont.
If you took nine out of ten and put
them in Wingham you would not be able
to tell them from Canadians and to hear
them talk is a pleasure after the last two
months we have met lots of men and
women and we ask them if they had not
spent a year or two across the pond,
They speak so distinctly.
The buildings here Are marvellous 11
never saw anything finer than the inside
of the city hall, we were amazed when we
entered it. 2 will try and get some cards
tomorrow.
Just as we were going up the steps a
gentleman stopped us and asked what
part we were from he being a Toronto
man, and before we got away from hien a
lady and her hubby came along and shook
hands with him and then with us, They
kept us standing for ten minutes talking
about the city and asking how it compar-
ed with Canadian citys, so many of them
say they have near relations over there,
The interior of the hall is splendid alt
matched marble splendid tairs and long
arched hall. It covers four ares and I
am Gentling you wine olds, it °ell' give
You some idea what it looks like. We
went thtaugh the City Hall, the Presby-
terian Assembly Ilall, York Street linen
factory and the City Gas works, two
Catholic churches and I3otnnical Gardens
and ?Arks. also the high clue residentel
melon of the city, likewin.i the lumand
