Picture Of Thrills Tries
Moreno's Nerve as Rider

Two OF the finest riders among the
thousands who gallop before the mo-
ton picture camera appear in "The
Magnificent Meddler," the Greater
Nitagraph Blue Ribbon feature, which
shows at the Empress the first four
days OF this week. Antonio Moreno
and Mary Anderson are at home in
the saddle and in this picture display
their horsemanship. Fine riding, in
deed. for a score Of cowboys. and
Mexican bandits are introduced, in
action Of the play. Antonio Moreno
performs one of the most thrilling
feats when he leaps from a tree to
the back OF a galloping horse, In
making this scene. Mr.. Moreno had
three accidents and narrowly escaped
serious injury each time,
Once he fell out of the tree. An
other time he dropped too late and
the horse got by before he could
land in the saddle. Once his feet
caught in the martingsle and the actor
was dragged for fifty yards. Once he
leaped too soon and landed astride
on the horses head. On the fourth
attempt he made the leap perfectly.
The story of the. young reporter
trying to reform the bad man of the
western town surely gave the Vita
graph players many thrills before it
had been produced for the benefit Of
the great number OF picture lovers in
search OF sensations.

MY HEROWINE.

I often go TO the movie plays, and Mary

We talk 'em over afterwards as back t'hum

An sweet as pie believe me, she has moth

She'll pick out Warren Kerrlgan. an az we

I say. "Oh quit yer kiddin'." but she's
serious as can be,
For I'm her Francis Bushman an she's
Grace Cunard to me.
An though I've saw the pretty gals wot act
with Hart and Carey.
They're good enough In their own way, but
nothin' like my Mary
Them gals will make me laugh and some
times brush q tear away,
But for steady diet give me Mary any day:
I've saw them actresses as kids. as vamps
They change in every bloomin' play dozen
different times
I like a gal as always 10 the same an
doesn't vary.
look at them, but press her hand an thank
God for my Mary.

the ball a rolling. Therefore this

owes it to himself to lay all business
aside and close his show il necessary
and come TO this meeting. There is
"a great need for an organization and
the only manner in which success
ful one can be formed is for everyone
TO do their Bit" get in the harness,
and all pull together. \.
The meeting is called for l0 o'clock
and delegates will be elected to the
national convention to be held in Chi
cago, July IA to %. At this writing
a special car has been chartered and
the hopes are to make it more than
one. A complimentary noon lunch
con has been planned for the ex-
change men. Newspaper representa-
tiyes and out-of-town exhibitors and
many other treats are said TO be in
store for the exhibitors. The present
officers of the organization, who are

Colonization and Industries

News Bureau, Pacific Coast Manufacturer.
The greatest need of the state is
more producers to 60 upon the unused
lands and make them productive.
To bring down the high cost OF
living, to produce more of the neces
sites of life, we must encourage
families to make homes on the land.
To accomplish this result and
develop the state industrially specu-
lative prices of land must be elimln.
ated.
To get colonies OF five or ten or
twenty families to locate on land near
towns, the land must be prof.
d active and the price must not be
prlhibitive and tern easy
Real estate speculations In lands
at two hundred To nve-hundred dol
lars an acre with big commissions
and high rates OF interest and taxes
make this impossible.
Land is only worth, from the stand,
point of production, what a famll,
| can produce out Of the soil by labor
deductng taxes, interest and cost Of
upkoep on land and improvements.
There should b. land open to colon
ization Oh these terms in the vicinity

in tracts Of from 80 to 1000 acre

In these days Of social discomfort
of foreign wars, OF bread riots AM
