Castle has purchased forty acre ranch in the vicinity of Sonoma, Cal, and he expects to settle down to the comforts of rural life. The new place is located about eighty five miles from San Francisco. About eight acres are in grapes, and fruit and there are both hot and cold sulphur springs On the place. MT. Castle says his wife has visions of raising chickens, ducks, wildcats and any other thing that will grow but ex- presses doubt that the ranch will produce more than enough for their own needs. Among other things he states that business conditions are improving down there but the wave of prosperity IS not very apparent Realty prices are. about the same but are lower in some cases and there IS by no means a satisfactory market. Several Nomeites are mentioned in the communication 1mong them Charles Lubbe, for merly of Council, who is, Mir. Castle states, in the garage busi- ness in San Francisco.

The Federated church is pre- pairing to give an entertainment next Tuesday under the novel title of The Feast of the Seven Tables. This is somewhat sug- gestive of religious observance of some kind but the function will be purely social in nature. In fact the title states exactly what the affair will be-a feast, to be served from seven tables on which will be found seven varie- ties of delectable things, each a delicacy of some particular coun
 try. Chicken and Chinese mood les will be the offering at one table; chili con carne and the spicy hot temale at another; hot roast beef. sandwiches at another
 etc. An added novelty will be that the lady attendants at the various tables will be garbed in the costume of the land repre- sented by the particular variety of delicacy served. Dainty Jap enese dolls will serve the tea table, flashing Spanish senoritas will preside over the tomales, Chinese damsels will dispense the
 chicken and noodles and rosy 'frauleins will look after ones wants in the line of salads and delicatessen dainties. Additional

Man Who Wrote Adventures
Of KathIyn" Gives Advice to
Times Readers.
PLOT ALWAYS COMES FIRST
Newspaper Office Best Train
ing School for PhotopIay-
Wrights, He Declares.
BY gibson WILLETS.

I am glad to be able to give
some information from my expe-
rience that may prove more or less
valuable to other writer's. The art
OF photoplay writing IL not an
. easy art education, talent and In
dustry are essentials for success.
To succeed as a writer Of photo
tell. an unusual plot to present,
otherwise the effort 81 worth moth
Ing. In order to succeed In the
photoplay writing art one must
also write action and not dialogue.
You cannot photograph dialogue.
In the writing of fiction one can
utilize word paintings, descrip-
ton, embellish as IL were. the plot.
In some fiction stories the plot Is
even secondary. Not so in the
photoplay. The plot comes frst
and 1t must be plot of action.
Title Is Important.
The photoplay manuscript con-
sists of main title. cast of charac-
tiers. synopsis and action by scenes.
The title should be an attractive
one and. at the same time. should
not divulge the plot of the story.
The names of the characters
snOulu ne REIMBURSEMENT Va tho ~,
and there should not be too many
characters, for too many charac-
ters lead to confusion.
The synopsis of a photoplay,. II 1t
heads a manuscript OF detailed ac-,
ton. should not exceed 800 TO oV
words, should present clearly, but
concisely, the action carried out In
the scenic action.
Subtitles should be used In places
where the action does not clearly
carry the story. The fewer the sub
titles. or explanatory text, the better
IL the photoplay.
Good, clean. unusual stories OF the
life and the people we all know are
much to be desired.
What to Avoid.
Avoid scenes of murder. kidnap-
ing and assault, for these scenes
will not pass the boards Of censors
now in power in many States and
cities. Such action Is also old. hav-
Ing been done many times.
There are a number of textbooks
which will give you knowledge of the
proper form Of the photoplay. l
would recommend that you purchase
one of these books. But remember
no book can teach you the habits of
observation. the knowledge to write.
or how to know a good story when
you see one.
The best school for the would-be
photoplay writer Is the newspaper
newspa permen are now successful
as writer's for the silent drama.
They know life, a good story and the
value OF a gripping situation. Avoid
patronizing schools which profess to
teach photoplay writing.

PLANTING TREES AND SHRUBS
Haphazard Method VIII Never Get the
Results That Are to Be
Desired.

Avoid haphazard planting OF trees
and shrubs. Many planters make the
mistake Of thinking that the chief
thing is to get certain trees or shurbs
on to the lawn. This is a great mis-.
take, even at the first, and the mis-.
take grows more apparent as the years
60 by and the different things become
Of various sizes till there is a yer.
table chaos in the arrangement, with
little and big things intermingled.
The house should have an absolutely
clear lawn in front OF 1t except in
cases where native trees have been
left In the clearing away of the ar.
boreal growths. The fact that such
trees are already in existence when
the house vas built is often a reason
for keeping them. But when the
builder has a clear field in the first no
tree should be allowed to stand in
front of the house. The desire should
be to produce a picture, with the trees
and shrubs arranged along the sides
Of the lawn, with the tallest growing
trees and shrubs farthest back. Such
an arrangement greatly increases the
appearance Of ~spaciousness, for the
eye naturally uses the things nearest
as a measure Of distances, This is OF
importance when the area that can be
devoted to ornamentation is rather
limited.

CAN LAUGH AT TORPEDOES
ecullarly-Construeted Shl.l That Has
Proved Itself TO BE of Real

Monitors OF n very queer sort were

nelles by the allies. Amusing descrip-

are real factors. Some time age when

stern. A large turret is carried on a
high, fiat deck. This mounts two IA

struction accounts for the clumsy
movements Of the vessel, but 1t is said
