Wheat: The growing condition for
March is 67 per cent. This is 6 per
cent below the growing condition of

SNOW SCENES MANUFACTURED
FOR "ThE IRON CLAW"
Desperate Measures Used on Patho
Serial.

Manufactured snow storms are an
old story on the legitimate stage, but
Director Jose who is now producing
the new Pathe serial, "The Iron Claw,
believes he is the originator or the
fabricated film snowstorm. After
strenuous day in which Pearl White,
Creighton Hale and Sheldon Lewis,
who are starring in the new Pathe
pulse uickener, had encountered all
the danger that Jose could think or,
the company repaired to their hotel
ct Toms River, n. j., to rest awhile
and dream.
Toms River awoke the next morning
to Jose's unmuffled query as to who
had stolen the snow. All unconscious
Of the fundamental principle or
movie" mechanics that continued ac-
ton demands continuity Of scene
character as far as weather conditions
are concerned, the enterprising Toms
River street cleaning department had
stripped every vestige Of the snow
from off their fair community and
their relentless shovels had complete
!y ruined all of Jose's finest scenic
| effects.
Ehe local weather prophets predicted
more snow soon" and the Pathe
players settled down to walt. Three
Idle days passed before Jose got his
Idea, but not three idle minutes after
wards. go out and hire every wagon
you can get" he ordered, land well

sary, rather than wait another min

And that's how it was done. The
pure white fakes wsre transported
from a point half mile away out
Or range OF the Toms River diggers,
Bprinkled carefully over the "loca-
lions" required and the work of "The
iron Claw" making went on as mer-
r,ly as ever.

theory held by these oil men.
The Oklahoma-Louisana we'll in
section 7-2-2, in the Graham district,
is at depth of something like 200
feet, and there is a considerable guam

bit is in an oil sand or whether the
oil is coming from the 1,525-foot
level. where an oil sand was found, is
not known, but much interest is being
manifested in that well, and it may
prove TO be in producing area be-
for the contracted depth of 1900 feet
is reached.

the Chaffee well in section 2-3-3 has
recovered the tools, and is ready to
