The disregard for expense shown
by big motion picture producers is
well illustrated in Douglas Fair
banks latest production for Art
craft, "a Modern Musketeer, "
which will be shown at the Gem
theatre on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Scenario called for scenes III
the Grand Canyon of Arizona, and
Fairbanks ported his entire
company of fifty people there. The
photoplay has an added value in
presenting backgrounds Of scenic
splsndor, which have been wonder
fully reproduced by the camera.
Fairbanks proudest boast is that
he has never faxed scene. "Pa
irons of moving picture theatres
have become too familiar with
methods used in the past he says,
and are quick to detect the genuine
rom the counterfeit. L never use a
double, for if can't do it myself
it isn't shown at all.
I'm "A Modern Musketeer' one OF
the biggest scenes is where we pur
sue the Navajo Indians who have
kidnapped Marjorie Daw, and Tully
Marshall and descended thousands
of feet on ro0es thrown from ledge
to ledge. 1t was mighty >cod, and
he wind swayed us uncomfortably.
"a Modern Musketeer" is a
typical Fairbanks production, com
Dining melodrama and comedy.

''Old Glory"
the Oldest
of Ensigns

IN hobAbL1 1eW AmeIlcdnS real.
- ize that when their country's
flag is referred to as "Old
= Glory" the adjective is not
merely an expression Of reverence and
affection, but Is Historically justified.
Strange as 1t may seem, considering
the comparative youth of the United
States as a nation, the flag Of the
United States Is the oldest truly ma
tional ensign in existence. ,
While the name of the British
"Union Jack" dates from the union Of
England and Scotland, in 17OS. its de-
sign was changed In 1901, when the
legislative union Of ireland with Great
Britain was recorded, by adding the
red cross Of st. Patrick to the earlier
combination Of the crosses of st.
George and st. Andrew. The design of
the American flag has never been off,
cially changed since its first adoption
on June IA, 1777.
The continental congress on that day
resolved that the national ensign
should be one Of IS stripes, red and
white alternately, with a "union" Of
blue, in which should be displayed 13
stars. These referred, Of course, to
the 13 colonies which had united in
declaring their independence Of Brit
ish rule. No provision was then made
for the recognition of future states in
the flag. Probably they were not
thought Of.
After the admission Of Vermont and
Kentucky flags appeared with Is stars
and stripes. They do not seem to
have had any legislative sanction,
though they are said to have been
carried by some regiments in the War
Of 1872. As more states were admit
ted 1t was seen that 1t would not do
to keep on increasing the stripes, and
in 1918 congress made q definite rule,
fixing the stripes at 18, with a star for
each state.
The French tricolor IL q dozen years
younger than "Old Glory" What are
usually sold as the German, Russian.
italian and Spanish flags are devices
Of the nineteenth century, created as
mercantile" flags or in an effort to
find something that might be more
popular" than the "royal standard"
and also less complicated and expen-
sive. In fact, outside Of the United
States, France and Britain, the recog-
milton of flags Of nationality as some
thing distinct from attachment to q
"royal house" may be said to have been
thought Of the last century.
In this connection 1t may be noted
that the United States also has the
Oldest national military school of con-
tinuous existence. The French mill
tary schools, the first that were ina
tional" in any real sense, were sus-
pended at times during the great revo-
luton. But since its opening In 1902
West Point has seen no sun rise or
set without the customary morning and
evening salute to "Old Glory"

stoker's Act Of Bravery.

In these days Of undersea warfare,
when the blow Is often struck without
warning. a new danger Is added to the
already hazardous tasks OF the ships
fremen. Speed Is an essential In
beating the U.boat, and this requires
constant work. Recently the bottom
blow valve Of a boiler was carried away
on a vessel Of the United States navy.
One Of the crew was AlQysius Fawcett,
a Herman, first class. With two others
he made his way through a steam-filled
fireroom and fought passage through
a hot cloud In the engine room. Here
he helped haul the fires Mt q critical
moment. The nerve and Quickness Of
the act saved the boiler and the ves-
sci from serious accident. Fawcett en-
listed in the navy In 1911 at Cincin-
natl.

Famous Committee In Charge.
The committee having the flag prob

Washington, Robert Morris and George
Ross.
1t Is evident that the resolution, as
originally penned by Charles Thorn
son, secretary Of the continental con-
gress, was not adopted, but that cor
rections were made. have been un-
able to decipher Just what the original
reading matter was. Curiously, Sec

one Of the II 't's" which occur In the
sentence. The 'i's" are all dotted,
and single comma Is the extent Of
the punctuation Of this great word

credited to Fort Stanwix of New York.
News Of those days travelled slowly,
and while the resolution was adopted
by the continental congress. on June
IA, 1777, the improvised flag was not
made until the latter part Of July, and
on the second day Of August, 1777, it
ioated over the fort (Stanwix, later
Fort Schuyler). Amid loudest cheers
and military salutes it was emblaz-
oned in the sky to remain the emblem
Of Justice and liberty,
But you ask: "What was there

when the news came that the continen-

WESTERN CANADA's

Got an Excellent Start. Big
Yields Now Assured.

Never in the history of Western
Canada did the seed enter the ground
under more favorable conditions. The
weather during the month of April
gas perfect for seeding operations,
fsnd from early morning until late at
hight the seeders were at work. and
every acre that could be proftably
sown was placed under requisition.
Farmers entered heart and soul into
90 campaign Of greater production.
There was the time and the opportu-
nifty for careful preparation, and as .
consequence with favorable weather
from now on there will be a vastly in
creased yield. They realized 1t was q
duty they owed to humanity to produce
all that they could on the land, not
only this year but next as well. In
addition to the patriotic aspect, they
are aware that the more they produce
the greater will be their own return
IN dollars and cents.

completed by the LIST Of May, after

acreages than usual were planted.

An optimistic feeling prevails among

these hopes should be realized. Mr..

Provinces were excellent. speaking

never gone into the ground in better

enormous crop" His present duties in

Board, taking him in all parts Of the

opportunities Of observing conditions
