The more or less artistic reciprocity
which gives dramatized fiction TO our
theatres and novelized drama TO our
current literature has been applied al
most from the first to the moving plct-
ure industry. In the beginning NOV
ing pictures were just that and moth
ing more. Street scenes, parades,
horse races. railroad and ship wrecks,
shooting ARRAYS, cowboy scenes, the
development was gradual, as an un-
derstanding of the possibilities of the
new process dawned upon the pioneers.
Then came what in vaudeville are
known as sketches" The scenario
was born. Europe, Italy more by
token. led in the creation Of enormous
spectacles; in this country the pro-
ducers turned TO the use of popular
novels. then proceeded to the produc-
ton of once popular plays with famous
stars. The travel picture, with or
without a lecture, is separate braneh
of the business; the war picture,
byproduct Of calamity. The ten
dency has been toward story"
with of course, mostly theoretic
striving after didacticlsm. The
aesthetic possibilities which may turn
an amusement into an art nave Deen
hitherto largely neglected.
The industry has. furthermore, de-
veloped a new type of performers. the
movie actors. Only a few of them
have been able 70 attain true artistic
status, at least in the popular sense:
But their work has proved so full OF
strenuousness and variety that 1t has
developed a new sort of temperament
which could not fail TO attract the at
tention OF novelists. And so there is

They are beginning TO come fast,
these tales of spies and plots and coun-
ter-plots and the marvellous achieve
ments of our Secret Service. The du-
plicities of Russian diplomacy have
had their day; japanese espionage had
its scary hour. but both were, at the
best, largely matters Of hearsay and
belief In the case of the German
plots in this country, on the other
hand, there is solid foundation OF
fact to build upon as inventiveness
suggests. Mr.. Stringer has certainly
done mis- best. Canal plans, ordnance
and high explosive inventions, air corps
secrets, navy yard blleprints the
great Keudell wants them all, and,
where bribery and treachery fail, he IS
ready to employ strong-arm methods.
Sadie Wimpel is in the midst of it all.
The chief in Washington assures her
that the dreaded door of her past will
be kept securely locked if only she
will join the Service again. She has
worked for him before, and she has
worked in Europe with those interna-
tional spies whose services can be
bought by any government. She CON
sents, and the doors begin to close be-
hind her-doors of rooms in gloomy
houses, doors of taxicabs in which she
is kidnapped, doors Of hotels which
she daringly enters in trailing her
quarry. She has been criminal, and
therefore is the most resourceful OF
sleuths. Dictsphones listen in, tele-
phones are bridged, drugs are used,
revolvers pop, and there is here re-
markable development Of the camera

WHEN SELF-CONFIDENT

Most of the writers of financial matters describe the increase in busi- ness in this country recently as re- suit of the restoration of confidence.
 This should suggest to us as farm CTS the importance of confidence. As we enter upon the various tasks of farm work incident to producing crops and raising animals this year we should do so with full and complete confidence in our neighbors, our coun- ty, state and nation. We should be- leve in the soil, trust in our own abi- lity to manage it, and be confident of the reward.
 Most of our failures doubtless could be traced to d lack of selfcontidence. We depend too much upon those who furnish us capital, wait too much upon the seasons, and expect too much in the way of government assistance. No one could be censured for accept ing help, but most of this assistance is too costly to be of any material as- sistance in farming. Even when we borrow we do so at enormous expense. Why not finance ourselves and get the advantages?
 The little child that holds tenacious ly to supports is able to walk in a rather restricted circle. It soon dawns upon the child that it is quite able to walk without support. It is then that it gets pleasure from it's own efforts. Now it may be that we can do more without the costly help of others than we think we can. Sup pose we try it this year. Why not arrange the rotation plans so that the farm will produce most of the food and a surplus to supply the other needs of progressive farming?
 It will require confidence, hard work patience and expectation. But such a system can not be had without these elements of success. Isn't industrial independence worth striving for?- Farm and Ranch.
