Worth the Story.

The story is the rock-bound founda.
ton Of the scenario structure. This
fact has been repeatedly asserted by
all authoritative writer's on photoplay
plotting. and yet many and varied au-
thorities seemingly are just finding out
this fact. They treat a common.sense
proposition as something strange and
something startling. Without a good
plot. a good story. the motion.picture
production amounts to little. There
may be excellent acting, there may be
stars exploited. there may be beautiful
settings and beautiful photograph. but
nevertheless the audience will be
doomed to disappointment. There
must be continuity, interest, suspense.
something interesting at the beginning
to excite and hold interest, and some
thing at the ending to give satisfaction
and to touch the heart. The story, and
not the play. is the real thing!

Year. There are going to be thousands
Of them In captivity and where tney

scopes in plain view of the curious, ac-
Scording to- the plans announced by the
management of the dairy show today.
h The market milk contest will be held

hibits and equipment of the marker
milk contest there will be hundreds 81
samples Of milk such as IS sold every
day in the cities and towns in every
part Of Iowa.
Change in Milk Contest.
The market milk contests held at the
fairs and shows in the past have. not
been representative of the kind of milk
that Is consumed. Prizes have been
offered to the milk dealers who could
show four bottles Of milk which con-
tanned the smallest amount Of foreign
products and the lowest number Of
bacteria, in addition to the other re-
quirements of fat, solids. etc. This
means Of carrying on the, contests
to take special precautions SO that
their milk was Of the highest grade
and not representative Of the milk
which goes to the consumer.
This year instructions will Ebe sent TO
the milk inspectors in the eighteen
cities Of the state which have such Of
fcers to select milk from the wagons
on the streets. They will select the
milk at random and it should be thor
oughly representative. Refrigerator
cases will be sent to the wiik inspec-
tors with detailed instructions.
Samples will also be secured by the
regular state dairy inspectors In the
smaller towns. All samples will be i'm
mediately iced and sent by express to
the laboratory at Waterloo, where the
milk will be judged and placed. Num-
bers will be used instead Of names in
the results and each dealer
who takes part will be advised as to
the score Of his milk. 9
Plans are being made to handle be-
tween 200 and 800 samples at tho lab
oratory. The contest will be con-
Quoted by the state dairy and food
department and the dairy department
Of Iowa State College. It will be un-
der the auspices Of the cattle congress,
