LiNCOLNVILLE LEADING,

The Farm Bureau membership CAM
paign in Waldo county is progressing
well, considering the unfavorable roads
and weather. The town of Linconville
has forged to the front in a way that in
dicates the probability Of it's leading the
State in community membership. A let
ter sent to State worker, Nov 28th by
A. II. Miller, the new president of the
Farm Bureau in this county, shows the
kind of enthusiasm they have aroused in
his town. His letter was, in part, as fol-
lows:
1--WE are well over the 1901 mark, and
hope to make it $50. We are getting
practically every present member to re-
new, and have added 10 new names at
this writing, with good prospects of get
ting several more. | understand the
women are taking to the movement like
ducks to water,' and nave enrolled 80 OF
more-with the medicine still working.
Tell Miss Eastman she can count on the
largest class here of all the towns in the
county, if not in the State"

The Four EIorsemen.
81, 600, 900 Ingram Production of Ibanea
Film Due Here-MarIss New Epoch
for Screen.

The long-awaited Rex Ingram produc-
tion of "The Four Horsemen of the Apo
calypso" is coming to the Colonial Theatre
Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 18th and
14th. This is the picture that cost Metro
81, 600, OO0 to make, and, from all accounts
the 81, 0O0,00 was well spent, as critics
agree that all other efforts at production
on grand scale have been surpassed and
record runs have been made in New York,
Chicago, Boston, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Los
Angeles and other cities where the pictuI e
has been previously shown.
Fifty principals and $500 extras were
engaged in the filming of the photodrama,
an entire French village and an elaborate
chateau were erected to be destroyed un-
der the artillery bombardment of the Ger
man invaders, and more than l25, 600 tons
OF masonry, steel, lumber and furniture
were used in creating backgrounds that
are said to reproduce with absolute fidelity
the shifting panorama of the story.
The appeal of the story itself has already
been proved through the success of the
novel by Vicente Blasco Ibanez, upon
which the photodrama is founded Its sale
throughout the world runs into the mil
lions, but millions more will probably have
1t revealed to them the first time through
the medium of the screen production.
This production is reported to have fol-
lowed faithfully the epic tale of human
passion against the background of the
Great War as related by Ibanez
