In "The Greatest Thing in Life" "
D. w. Griffith, has woven into pic
ture form the theme of the man and
the woman who find themselves and
at the same time the world about
them in the fires Of the great world
war. For the story Of the play is
merely simple love story of tom
boyish girl and an a-conserva-
tive clubman and well-to-do business
man of New York-a snob also. In
conception of what makes motion
picture drama and in the fineness of
photography, Mr.. Griffith has some
new and wonderful things to show
his audiences and there are present
in complete detail some of the great
scenes of the battle of the Marine.
But the story of the play is the love
story OF the young American and the
French girl and Of what self-sacri-
fee will do for a man soul. In his
presentation of the play Manager
Stolte has decorated his theater and
as special feature has had painted
a Suggesting to match the scenes

JERSEY COAST FALL

BEACH HAVEN, N. j., Sept. 13.-Late

the New Jersey coast promises to hold
as good as during the last two months.
In which anglers have enjoyed unusual
luck.
Many of the captains who take crews
to the fishing banks declare they never
have seen the fishing better, both in
the bays and off shore. than has re-
warded tens of thousands of sportsmen
this year On any day and any tide
visiting sportsmen have been practically
sure of good catch.
The sudden improvement in fishing
this summer is regarded by longshore-
men as one Of those natural phenomena
for which there is no definite explana-
ton.
Many believe the great run OF mem
haden, immense schools of which have
appeared along the Jersey coast all
summer, has tended to draw the other
fish shoreward.
In the bays also there is great
abundance of crabs. shrimp and other
aquatic life upon which the Ash feed,

half or three inch fellow and the hook is
run through both lips, the Henshall
manner
Mark out. the places around channel
mouths, creek inlets and outlets and be-
side overturned trees in the water. Cast
lightly so as not to tear off the minnow,
and then play him about in the water.
As soon as there is a strike keep the
fellow away from the pads, or the OBJ
structions, and keep the line taut. Along
the bars, too, you will find them and
you fish a little deep for them around
IL in the morning. when they may sally
into deep water again. 1t may be still
fishing, pure and simple. at this time,
and so the line must be let down.
The live minnow is hooked behind the
dorsal fin (the back fin), but not so that
the backbone is touched. Drop the min
now down and let him do his own ami
mating stunts. If there are any pickerel
around you will know about 1t soon
enough.
When the pickerel takes the minnow
let him run with it a ways. The pick
erel selzes a minnow and swallows 1t In
fight. Then set the hook and keep a
taut line. I'll wager II will be some
sport and your light rod will know that
1t has met its equal.
For the fighting fish, get them in shall
low water with the spoon and fly. 1t
seems these autumnal pickerel like to
leap from the water in the shadows.

Farmers in several counties report

covies of birds by day and rabbits by
night on country roads.
Because of the open winter last year
all game weathered through with little
loss. Conditions during the spring and
early summer were unusually favorable
for the growth of young birds and rab-
bits. while the States well enforced pro-
tectory laws have brought about a prac-
