table, "A Daughter of the Gods" he had a disagreement with William Fox, the owner of that picture, which re- uslted in Fox taking the stand that Brenon should receive no further credit for his work. As MT. Brenon has devoted years to establishing his enviable reputation as a director this seemed to be a setback in his career. So he decided to produce photo drama greater, if possible, that "A Daughter of the Gods" with the most eminent star available This was the origin of the Herbert Brenon Film Corporation War Brides" and Bren- on's alliance with Lewis J. Selznick- Pictures.
 While Brenons reputation has been established principally in the last year or two by his creation of huge spectacles, this is not his first big screen drama. "The Clemenceau Case" "The Two Orphans" Sin" and "The Soul of Broadway" direct ed by Brenon earlier in his career. are still rated as classics in the new are, and are big drawing cards still though the date of their first re- leases is now almost ancient history.

 War Brides, Herbert Brenons first production for Sel2nick-PicJures, with Nazimova in the role in which she scored her greatest stage suc- cess, making her debut on the screen. is the greatest picture ever made by this great genius of scroon pr0duc- ton. The photo-drama is based upon Marion Craig Wentworths powerful one-act play, to which many incl dents of absorbing interest have been added, which could be staged in the original form of this classic. In it's picture version it is human docu- ment of the most intimate sort, with a constant appeal to the emotions.
 In the making of this picture. Mir Brenon broke all records for the rro- duction of a multiplereel feature, having turned out a complete erea- ton in a little more than two months from the time he formed his own cor poration.

a few Irish potatoes.

Soon the garden began to show
green sprouts breaking through the
soil and in few weeks the vegeta-
ton was a rich dark green. Every
thing grew well except the corn, this
when a foot high tasseled out and
made no further growth. Martha
was puzzled and asked an old Scotch
homesteader to look at the corn and
see what was the matter.
Uncle Tom," as every one called
him, looked at the stunted stalks and
with a merry twinkle in his eyes re-
piled, Miss Holcomb, you have a
new kind of corn, you have to dig to
find the ears"
One day when the lettuce and rad
ishes were almost ready for the table
and the tomatoes were in bloom, a
neighbor came in his sail boat and
took Martha with him to spend the
day with his wife. She enjoyed the
days rest but when. she returned
home the scene of devastation was
heart rendering. for an old hog had
Jumped the fence and rooted up and
eaten everything except one tomato
plant and the only satisfaction Mar
tina had was the fact that no hog
could take the bouatiful supply of
fish and oysters from the bayou.
Martha met every disappointment
with bull dog grip and often
thought of Bud Means bull dog in
the Hoosier Schoolmaster, and, like
Ralph took that dog as guide to fol-
low and often quoted Bud, when that
dog takes holt heaven and yarth
CANT make him let CO."
There was an abundance of wood
for the picking up and when the fall
en- limbs and branches of the trees
were used there were trees that had
to be cleared away for the orchard
which was still dream, and no fear
for the lack of fuel was felt and the
water supply was inexhaustible.
As time passed Martha added to
the clearing and as she had become a
contributor to a large daily paper and
for several farm papers she was en-
abled to add some improvements to
her little home.
The garden plot was enlarged and
a row of Seeding peaches were ready
for transplanting.
While living IN the city Martha had
written for magazine, the editor
of which failed to pay her for the ar
ticles. She wrote to him of her
homesteading in Florida and he.
being an honest man wrote to her
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-10-08

that he had gone on a fruit ranch IN
California and would gladly supply
her with cuttings of various kinds.
also with fruit trees and vines, all OF
which she gladly ccepted.
The spot for the orchard was fin
ally cleared and gradually filled with
peach. plum, pear apple, pecans,
ounce and japanese persimmon
trees, with scuppernong arbors. and
other grape vines.
Martha found that when she asked
any one living in Florida what could
be grown in the state the answer al
most always the same viz: .Nothin'
much but turnip greens and stock
peas, this is mighty thirsty soil,
rains don't do it no good when the
drought comes as it does every sum
mer for ther things just burn up
But Marthe said, "there must be
some strength and fertility in this
soil or there would not be such a
dense growth Of scrub, and she went
to work TO prove it.

Martha Holcomb had often thought
how fine it would be to build home
from the ground up, and she had said
that she would never buy a ready
made home, one that some other had
planned, and now, that she had filed
a claim to her 160 acres she started
to cut a homo out of the wilderness.
First she erected small tent and
furnished it with folding cot, oil
stove and chair, small hatchet and
ak were the tools she bought.
Now it did sound romantic to talk
about cutting out of the wilderness,
but the reality was plain, hard work
with no romance connected with it.
The underbrush grew thick and the
saw paimettoes, or little palms,
though very ornamental was diff
cult thing to recover, for the stems
of this variety are edged with saw
like teeth and grow in large masses,
the trunk grows flat on the surface
of the ground with many small,
tough roots sinking deep into the
SOIL To- cut these stems often
meant scratched arms and bruised
hands, and to cut the roots and lift
the main trunk to the brush pile was
firing to the muscles, but little by
little the under brush disappeared
The trees were left standing until
later.
Martha sent to the home bank for
part of her savings and had cabin
of two rooms built, as the laws re-
quire that home be built on the land
by the end of the sixth month after
filing claim. She found carpenter
near by who erected her little home.
No queen was ever more satisfied
with her palace than was Martha
with her two rooms, tiny porch in
front where she sat evenings rest

contentment as she watched the
water glide past reflecting the
twinkling stars, and all at an out
lay of S24, and ever SO much hard
work.
