London and the "Movies".

According to a report published in a,
San Francisco paper, Jack London ex-.
poets to make a very good thing out
of the moving picture rights Of his
novels. Yes" he is reported to have
said, I'm bound to. the moving picture
business for life. It's like matrimony;
all 1 possess, dear moving picture bus
mess, is u No, I'm+not going to,
write my original scenarios, nor any
thing just for moving picture use
alone. But everything that + have
written or may write-novels or short
stories-is contracted for by the COM
pany with which I am. connected. Bos-
worth is in the north now filming
some Of my Alaskan stories. I hope
to make in the n~eighborhood of $780,
600 out Of the movies in the next two
years.
A London enthusiast who is familiar
with the majority Of this popular au-
thor's tales recently expressed the
opinion that Of all his books, his lat
est, The Valley Of the4Moon, will lend
itself most readily to the purposes of
a moving picture drama. Its action
Is rapid. the transitions not difficult
and it's theme Of very general interest,
he said. Certainly if the reward which
is melted out to a story in book form
may be taken as a guide, much max
be expected Of The Valley Of the Moon
should it ever be filmed. Now in it's
eighth large edition, it stands as one
OF Mr.. London's biggest successes.

MORE sILos.

There is no greater evidence Of the
Increased interest in dairyit1g and
diversified farming in North Dakota
than in the increased number Of sllos.
There are now about 1000 in the
state. Less than FIVE years ago there
were less than 100. The interest in
silos is so marked that the d~airyrnen
predict at least 1000 additional will
be constructed this year. Contracts
are being made for eight and ten In
many localities. Every silo is regard
ed as a monument to better farming.
The growing number Of these silos
is due to the activity of the repre-
sentatiyes OF the state dairy depart
ment and to the agents Of the Better
Farming movement. Every one that
is erected in a community is sure to
be followed by others as soon as the
farmers of that locality realize the
advantages to be gained.

L.'ENVOI.

When Earth's last picture is painted,
And the tubes are twisted and dried,
When the oldest colors have faded,
And the youngest critic has died,
We shall rest, and. Saith, we shall need
it
Lie down for an aeon or two,
Till the Master Of All Good Workmen
Shall set us to work anew.
And those that were good shall be
happy;
They shall sit in a golden chair;
They shall splash at a ten-league can
vas
With brushes of comets hair:
They shall find real saints to draw
from
Magdalene, Peter and Paul;
They shall work for an age at a sitting
And never be tired at all!
And only the Master shall praise us,
And only the Master shall blame;
And no n shall work for money,
And no one shall work for fame;
But each for the Joy Of the working,
And each, in his separate star,
Shall draw the Thing as he sees It
For the God Of the Things as They
Are.

Mr.. Gardiner when asked as to the
inspiration for The Reconnaissance
denied that it was founded on any
actual event. "It was probably sug-
gested," he said, 'by my own impress
sions fathered during the Boer War"
A striking, feature of The Recon-
naissance is it's dramatic quality. Mr..
Gardiner has atempted-and we'll sue
ceeded in the attempt--to sweep away
the cargo Of exposition and description
that weighs down SO many novels.
In other words he has tried to pres
emit the characters fully as If they
were on a stage and then, by selecting
only the critical moments Of a parti-
cular episode, to rely upon the actors
to explain not only themselves and
each other, but the basic idea Of the
problem involved. In many ways this

Gordon Gardiner.

GpFooN 1aFdl7SFs
T.. Who is Gordon Gardiner? This
question is sure to come to every
reader Of The Reconnaissance with
g peculiar insistence. A~rresting in
theme and original in treatment, this
novel heralds the arrival. Of another
literary personality to be reckoned
with. A search of the book guides
and OF such biographical induces as
! Who's Who Is unavaiIing-for. this
Is Mr.. Gardeners first story and his
name is not as yet enrolled on the
lists Of the makers Of literature. To

after some delay the following inter

Of Trooper Leslie and of half a dozen
other compelling personages, were. OBJ

Mr.. Gardiner is. a S%eotchman, the
son Of the Reverend Thomas Gardiner
Of Old Aberdeen. 1t is doubtful |Wheth-
er many people are able to crowd in
to their entire lives the variety and
wealth of experience that have gone
to h making of Mr.. Gardeners thirty
odd years. Beginning at the age of
twenty -one. when he. sailed for South
Africa. to enter the Cape Government

~doubtedly be attributed the reality Of
those portions of The Reconnaissance
which deal with the veldt and with
the old days of the famous military
police force. The picture which he
presents, drawn from his own expert
ences. during the Boer War times,
may be accepted as a reliable one.
From Africa Mr.. Gardiner went to
India where he became a. tea, planter:
from India to Switzerland. Italy and
ultimately to the United States.
1t was in 1903 that MI. Gardiner en-
tered the Agricultural Department Of
the American Beet Sugar Company in
California. This position he soon re-
signed in favor Of a trip to Alaska.
British Columbia and the Sierras. In
1906. however, he vas back again in
California where with the late ",
Bayard Cutting he edited a newspaper
called the Gjai. That same year he
sailed for Central America and Pana-
ma and upon his return in the summer
of 1905, he entered Harvard University
summer school as q, student of Eng
lish composition. While at Harvard
he delivered a series OF lectures on
English literature and the tropics.
Subsequent affairs took him back to
England and later on to, Switzerland.
Greece, Egypt and Italy. where. at
Florence, most of The Reconnaissance
was written. ~-.

conceal the fact that The R~econnais-

an ak, I sent him overheard a night or

trick we'll known to all writer's Of de-

for the big mystery.

WORST NOT TO BLAME.

some rather sharp criticisms Of Prcsi'

following comment In its last issue:

gathering and explain his part in
the Fargo auditorium deal.
Mr.. Worst made such a plain,
truthful statement Of the affair so
far as no had anything to do with
1t, that he came out Of the meet
ing with the farmers having a
better opinion of him. We are
glad of this because we have al
ways liked MI. Worst and, regard
cd him as a square and fair-mind-
ed man, and, while we criticised
him at the time. we had a deeper
feeling that perhaps he was not so
much to blame and his explanation
