"The Greatest Thing in Life"

Ranking among the very foremost of American motion picture produ- cers, David W. Griffith has pro- duced numerous screen classics which stand as exemplars of the best the cinema art has thus far pre- sented to the world. It is perhaps unnecessary to state that Mir Grif- fifth created those wonder pieces "The Birth of Nation, "The Great Love-" and Hearts of the World" all of which are brilliant evidences of his artistry and painstaking atten- tion to detail. In his new picture "The Greatest Thing in Life," which is now starting to tour the world, all the qualities of production which have made MT. Griffith famous, are richly in evidence. Newspaper crit ics in New York said of it, ''It is a work of art, credit to the motion picture industry and photodrama that v1ll live for years"
 The people of Canaan and sur rounding towns will have an oppor- tunity to see this picture at the Ma haiwe theatre, Ct. Harrington, Mass. on Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 15-16. Through trolley service to Canaan after the performance.

ONE WOULDN'T BELIEVE THIS

Probably. you know that you can- not tell how loud bull frog can sing by the length of his hind legs, but do you understand that the amount of milk a cow can give is determined by the length of her tailf Probably you did not. Personally we can see no esoteric or material reason why the cubitical content of the bone in a cows tail should have aught to, do with her milk flow. .-.
 But the queer part of it is that it Idoese. ...
 If you ever attend public auc- tion of cattle and watch when the milkers are selling, you will probably discover one or two wise old stock men feeling down the animals tail to discover the length of the bone. They tell us that good mixers al- most invariably have long tail bones, and there must be something in the theory or so many expert buyers would not use it as a test.
 But why, that's what we want to know.
 And why does hazel switch bend over waterf
 Doesn't? ....f. You bet it does. We not only have seen it bend, but we have knowledge of several wells that were only suc- cesfully located by this means when every other had failed to disclose any water.
 Like planting potatoes in the dark of the moon, though there is req son for that. ...
 And why do black ants always go inches deeper into the heart of rot ten logs when it is going to be cold winter. That is, how do they know it is going to be cold winter months ahead?
 Instinct?
 Maybe it's instinct" in the cows tail, huh7-Ex.
