NICTORiA-"The Scarlet Letter" Fox with
adapted by Carl Harbaugh from Hawt horne .
novel. Directed hy Mr.. Harhaugh. Photo
graphed 10y Georges Benoit.
Here's a photoplay that reflects pictorial
credit on the producer. The sprit Of bleak
Purtanism has been caught with admirable
fidelity. and from the viewpoint Of paint
mC-in-motion (which NaChel Lindsay de-
clares to be essential in the cnemaD. the
feature well deserves prominence. Opening
with views of the town square in the snowy
New England Village, its piiiory standing
out with cruel sharpness against the back
ground. the story proceeds with unusual
Observance of the original tale through the
tragic mazes Of HeSter's life and that Of
the SHINING minister. The acting is hardly
as hue as the settings and photography, but.
while melodramatic. it is not Extensively SO.
Mary Martins Heste" is sincere piece ~
work. and Stuart Holmes, defyiuE precedent,
displays his better qualities as the Rev.
Arthur Dimmesdale. Some Of the trick ef-
fects are especially adroit, among them the
symbolical change Of the mothers tear, on
her babN's cheek. to pearl, from which
jewel the child takes her name. All in all,
a photoplay likely to appeal to a wide class
Of spectators.

to which it is being put are numerous
and greatly advantageous to Warden
Cox and the entire camp.
1t is servicable in carrying supplies
to the camp, hauling road machinery,
and pulling heavy loads about the
farm. The great advantage to which
it is put, however, is in dragging the
roads and carrying the convicts to
their work every morning, facilitating
Warden Cox in providing more COM
fort for the men by permitting them
to stay in the. house. at. the farm on
cold nights, such as are being espe-
rienced now. The machine being of
the quad type, pulls on all four wheels,
which makes it practically impossible
for it to stick in a bog. 1t will drag
twenty smiles of road per day, cover
ing forty miles going and coming. 1t
is capable of making about twenty
miles per hour, though a slow rate of
speed is observed in dragging. The
cost of the machine was about $4,000.

HAPPY PRISONERS
AT COUNTY farm
CRISP HAS MODEL PRISON CAMP.
INMATES ENJOY PORK. SEVER
AL HOGS KILLED ON FARM.

Backbone, spare ribs, sausage and
good fresh meat are again plentiful
at the county convict camp, and the
inmates are enjoying life with a gen
uine satisfaction so far as eating is
concerned, and judging from their de-
meanor, good clothes and good treat
ment generally accorded them by War
den T. C. Cox and his men, there is
no dissatisfaction among most of them
because of the mere fact that they are
in convict camp. AS little as one
would think of it, it is true that there
are a good number of them, negroes
especially, who are thoroughly salts
fled under their present condition OF
life. They don't hesitate to tell you so.
The cold weather of the past few
days revived hog killing time at the
county farm, and Friday morning sew
en- fine porkers met their fate. These
make % porkers that have been killed
on the farm since the winter began,
approximately 5000 pounds of meat.
The commissioners anticipate con-
siderable damage to the oat crop,
which, until the present cold snap, was
faring nicely. There are about thirty
acres on the farm planted in oats.
