Monster Sturgeon.

A 65-pound sturgeon, five feet ten
inches long, was recently caught in
the Red Deer river at Drumheller, Al
berta, by some miners fishing near the
Midland mine. Five men in all were
required to get it to dry land, gradu-
ally playing 1t into shallow water.
when one Of the fishermen cut its
throat. The fish is thought by, old
timers to be the largest caught in tho
river at Drumheller. Another, pre-
sumably Of the same size, was seen In
the water at the time this fish was
caught.

if the boss would venture to tell the
editor about the depth of that "last

he wouldn't until he had to.
1t was pretty nearly nine O'Clock
when the editor went away, and Mr.
Norcross was just saying to me that
he guessed we'd better knock off for
the night, when we both heard step
in Mays room. A second later the
door was pushed open and man
came in, making for the nearest chair
and fiinging himself into it as if he'd
reached the limit. 1t was Colling-
wood. He was chewing on a dead
cigar and his face was like the face
of a corpse. But he was sober.

to make trouble with the boss on Mrs
Sheila's account, and l quietly edged

The boss never batted an eye. I'm
taking it for granted that you are

BY JAMES. W. DEAN

BY JAMES. W. DEAN
NEW YORK. Oct. 15.-Censors
and Blue Lawites may ruminate
upon the coming of the film Be
side the Bonnie Brier Bush. That
story was written by a Presbyterian
minister. He was Rev. John Wat
son, for years pastor of a Liverpool
church. He wrote under the nom de
plume of Ian Maelaren.
The photoplay was filmed in Scot
land under the direction Of Donald
Crisp. Frederick Watson, son of the
author, located the exact scenes de-
scribed in the novel.
David Powell and Mary Glynne
have leading roles. Donald crisp
plays the part of Lachlan Campbell,
Highland shepherd. This is his first
screen appearance since he played
the role of the bruiser in Broken
Blossoms"
Powell was born in Glasgow. Crisp
Is a ~Scotchman. Miss Glynne is of
Scotch parentage. Margaret Turn
bull, who wrote the scenario, was
born in Glasgow. Thus n may ex-
pect that this film will hold true to
the novel in settings and atmos-
phere.

to the Scots Guards at Victoria Bar
racks appeal in several scenes An
other scene shows a dozen Scottish
men and women ranging in age from
10 to 100. They were selected from
a London poor house.
The story deals with the love af-
fair of a noble and the daughter or
a poor church deacon. The hero's
father objects to their marriage.
They are Joined by the simple
ceremony of the man placing a ring

ders him away.
The hero goes to France. The
daughter, to London. Hero returns.
Finds the girl. Her father agrees
10 a church wedding.
This plot promises nothing in the
way of dramatic development. Chief
interest is in the fact that a Pres
byterian minister wrote it.
"The Gorlem" has completed a
seventeen-week on Broadway. This
German-made film has an magma
tive figure as it's center of action.
This suggests the query as to why
American producers have not made
! picture along similar lines.
\ Certainly material for such pic
lures can be found in English and
American literature.
1.-THE Invisible Man." by H. G..
Wells, comes TO mind. The films
could carry out the illusion of a
wrath or bodiless man by means Of
trick photography. whereas such IL
fusion would be difficult to create on
the stage.
"The War of the Worlds and
seThe First Men in the Moon" by
Wells might also afford material for
fantastic plays which the screen
could accomplish far more readily
thai the stage.
However, Wells probably has the
SAND attitude toward the screen as
a MEDIUM of art as that held by

First State Bank
Presents New Plan
For Saving Money

Elsewhere in this issue Of the Dis
patch will be found large advertise
ment of the First State Bank in which
is set forth an outline of the plan
of saving money regularly and system
atically by means of Book Savings
Bank.
The plan is as good as it is simple,
and the bank feels that by the install
lation of this system here many Co
tumbians will form the habit of lay
,ng up for rainy day.
Mr.. CASTOR, cashier of the First
State Bank explained the new plan
to the Dispatch, and it is about as
follows: The bank furnishes any
person, on request, savings bank.
1t is an attractive metal bank made
to resemble a handsome book. On
the front covers appears picture Of
the bank building, beneath which are
the words, First State Bank, Colum-
bus, Miss, the EaGk That Says Thank
YOU" At the bottom of the book
are places for depositing coins and
bins. The bank keeps the key, and
the depositor carries the book to the
bank once a month, or as often as
desired, and has the money taken out,
Credit is given in a book which bears
the depositor's name, and when the
credits reach total of $25 the bank
gives in exchange for that sum
coupon savings bond bearing interest
at the rate of four per cent per annum.
This is continued indefinitely, the
bonds being issued as often as the
depositor is able to save S25.
In order to get the plan under way
delay, number of canvass
ers will go to the homes Of our citi-
zens to explain the system of mon
sy-saving. tSk
