"We have been at Tuxford, Sask., all summer and must say this is a fine farm- ing district. The crops were excellent around here this year and we have had. the most beautiful harvest and fall weather I ever remember of seeing and are having fine weather yet. ' We worked on the land up till the 17th of this month and have had little or no zero weather yet although it is slightly frozen up now, Threshing was finished early which gave the farmers a good chance to get the land ready for Spring and most of them- have it all in good shape before the freeze up. The crops south of Moose Jaw were very light and further south west they had nothing. I have a half section of home- stead land right in .the dry district and to my sorrow I witnessed it myself, crops came up but as we had no rain, things dried up and there was no need of worry- ing over harvest help, of course I am not farming it myself. I might say it is just seven miles from Uncle Sam's line fence also the new Canadian Customs House which was erected a year ago and looks encouraging for the start of a nice little town. Opheim is our nearest town on the American side which is twelve miles from the line, and now since the war is over we can go across and deal there or at our home store in Canada which . is at Woodmountain. It is all settled around my land and good schools, but what we need is a railroad but that will come in time, we might have had it now only for the war•of course.that is over and forgot. The all important thing now seems to be politics our western papers are full of it and Sir Wilfrid is again trying to get his flock together, those who have strayed into the Union Cabinet and those who failed to defeat it." Mr. and Mrs. Cloakey expect to visit Wingham friends in the near future. MARRIED BRICICER—RoE—At the Methodist Par- sonage, Fordwich, on Monday, Decem- ber 2nd, 1818, by Rev. F. E.

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- vember, I brought with me enough film to reach a distance of 25 miler. 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 have 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 in which we labored, and that we were many times under actual bombardment, seeking refuge in cellars and dugouts the tremen - Good variety for Women.
