Birth Of a Nation at

The magnitude of David w. Griffith s

comparison with. the new art, the 'le-
gitimateD measures to the mountain
like a molehill. Instead of scenery for
his background Griffith has used ma
ture. For subject he has covered lou
years of American life and history.
Eighteen thousand people have done his
bidding and in the hair-raising rides OF
the Ku Klux Klan 5000 riders and
horses sweep over the dusty roads.
No wonder that this magnificent his
torical spectacle is the talk of the coun'
try. Ii has established an entirely new
art in the realm of the theatre-the ART
Of pantomimic screen spectacles with al
orchestral score perfectly synchronized
to the action. 1t has also created
tremendous sensation because of 1t!

Her first bull calf took second in his

Fox Bros. have some fine calves sired
by Foxhalls Fern Lad the sire of the
COW. Mr.. Kuenzi has had no trouble
in selling all his Holstein bull calves
promptly but has one which was dis
criminated against because he carried
too much black. II is unfortunate that
the Holsteins should have this color
craze as this calf is from Mr. Kusnzc's
highest testing and best show COW.
The average COW in the association
produced 203s pounds fat in October.
The best herd average was again made
by Fox Bros with l2 cows averaging
over 40 pounds fat per cow at IA cents
food cost per pound fat. This food cost
does not compare so favorably with the
reports Of some associations but no ex-
pense is concealed in this ease, interest
