per day of making the picture was
$4,000, and when completed the cost
had been close to $1,5O0,000.
Three power plants, consisting OF
two 1900 ampere generators and one
500 ampere generator, driven by gas
oline motors and mounted on motor
trucks, supplied the electricity neces-
sary for the camp and making the
right scenes. The large power plants
were mounted on two special-built
White Trucks. These trucks with
their load, weighed twelve tons each
and are valued at $4,000 each.
All the quarters in camp were sup
piled with electric lights and the
streets were also lighted.
Four cameras were used, operated
and cared for by eleven camera men

The Covered Wagon, being the title
OF story book form, by Emerson
Hough, is also the title of scenario
being recorded on the film by the Fa,
nous Players Lasky Corporation,
thrills for which were recently sta.
ged in the vicinity of Delta and Mil
ford, Utah.
In an effort to portray as accur-
ately as possible the events as they
were supposed to have happened in the
days of the early settlers of the West
great care was given to the selection
Of the location on which to reproduce
these events.
AS the buffalo played quite a prom
inent part in the settlemnt of this vast
Western empire, the film story would
not complete without scenes of buff
alo hunts, stampdes, etc. Antelope
Island, in Great Salt Lake, often re-
ferred to as Buffalo Island, was chos-
en- for these scenes. After a series
of thrilling events, this part of the
story was successfully recorded on
the film. Eleven buffalo were killed
and the story is told that one of these
was a monster bull that was shot by
one of the cowboys as it was charg
ing one of the camera men. The bull
fell dead with its nose against the
camera tripod. All Of the buffalo on
the island numbering about 200, were
used in making the picture.
The location chosen for the balance
of the picture is in the vicinity of the
Meek ranch, near Baker, Nevada. In
order to eliminate all possible sign of
modern times, it was necessary to
stage the scenes in a country entirly
free from fences, telephone of tele
graph lines, wellbeaten highways, rail-
roads, etc. This location was declared
by all concerned to be the ideal spot
for the picture.
Camp Cruze, as it is known, was os-
tablished eighty miles west of Milford,
Utah. Milford, being the nearest
point on the railroad, was due for con-
siderable activity during the time this
part of the picture was in the making.
1t is declared by those interested
hat this picture is without exception
he greatest thing undertaken in the
notion picture business. Some idea |
If the size of the undertaking may be |
,ained by checking over a few figures.
n the picture, LOG wagons, 500 horses
nd 70 head of cattle were used. The
attic were brought in off the range
nd then "broke" to work at pulling
he wagons. Three hundred Indians
ecruited from the Navajos Of Arizona, Il
from Wyoming, and Ban
ocks from Idaho took part in the
Genes. These Indians had to be tran
ported from their reservations and :
ack again. At one time at Camp 7
ruze there were 725 whites and 300 i
adams. Fifty-fve carloads of SUP
lies, consisting of camping equip I
ent and supplies were sent from
ilford to Camp Cruze. The picture A
as finished about December list.
To date over $4,000 has been spent ]

Washington, D. CA primary for
the nomination of candidates for Of
flee is in reality a part of the election
machinery A primary election is Of
ten more important that the regular
election which follows. To deny to
the people the right to nominate their
candidates for office, is in reality, a
denial of the right of suffrage.
The primary election have come in
to almost universal use in the 'nomi-
nation for all candidates for office ex-
cept President Of the United States.
Why should this exception EXIST
If the people are allowed by pri-
mary to select their candidates for
Governor, for the House of Represen-
tatives and for the United States Sen
ate, then by what logic are they de-
prived of the right to select in the
same way their candidates for Presi-
dent?
The President is the most import
ant office of all. He has more to do
both with the making Of the laws and
their administration than any other
official in the country. He is part
of the legislative machinery of the
Federal government. He helps to
make the laws under which all Of the
people must live.
The President is practically SUI
preme in the enforcement of these
laws. He appoints all of the execu-
tive officials of the entire country. He
likewise appoints all Of the Judges Of
the United States courts and thus has
en- indirect influence upon the inter
probation of laws as we'll as their en-
actment and their enforcement.
National Conventions Ignore Wishes
of Rank and File
Everybody knows that the national
conventions of both of the great po-
litical parties pay but little heed to
the wishes of the rank and file Of those
parties
We have seen a greatp official par
ty practically dominated and control
led by sick man thousand miles
away from the place where the "on-
vention was held.
We have seen a great political par
vention of a great political party
completely changed in the sentiment
of its membership by the contests and
the arbitrary rules of national COM
mittee in making up the temporary
roll of the convention.
Every intelligent American citizen
knows that national conventions are
not controlled by the people but by
the political machines and the poll
teal bosses and when the two con-
of the dominant political par
ties are thus controlled, there is
nothing left for the people except
choice between two evils.
When the people do not nominate,
he people cannot elect
In the case of our President, the ;
work of the national convention is
he last and the final act. There is
nothing left except ratification of {
,ne or another. There is no appeal
rom their decree. 6

scrutinize the balance slips before

journey. The question is not whether
God is honest but whether we are.
THE MISSIONARY ROUTE
"Go!" is the unmistakable command
of Jesus. Our problem is one of ODE
dience. "What are your marching
orders?" is the historic query of the
Duke of Wellington to an uncertain
Christian. Whittier, Lord?" is cur
only rightfui reply instead Of
'Why?" or q "When?" And He
sent them to the ends Of the earth,
lifting the horizon rim until it circled
the globe. He discarded pilgrimages
by making all ground holy, He ban
ished the sense of election by choosing
all men. But some races are low in
the scale? He say they can be lifted.
But some men are hopeless? Christ
say all may be saved. Race pride,
class pride, national pride, culture
pride, possession pride are all ruled
out by the inclusive Saviourhood of
our Lord and by His unlimited COM
mand. VERY well, Lord. Which
way?" And His word makes it per-
fectly clear. 1t is: Beginning in
Jerusalem, and in all Judea and in
Samaria, and unto the uttermost
parts of the earth" 1t is: Begin
where you are but do not stop where
You are Do you live in Hagers-
town? Then begin there. Do you live
in Harrisburg? Begin there The
question is to start. while our concern
is so often "where shall ! tinish?"
Make a disciple of your neighbor, for
that is the task set, and the next man
will loom far more clearly and the
road will be perfectly plain before
ones feet and the end may be beyond
the sea but it will be in the place of
His desire wherever it is.
THE MISSIONARIES PARTNER
q am with you, until the end of the
world Why not take the simple
English instead Of the learned Greek
and make it until the full conquest of
the world for its Lord? Certainly
Christ is eager for that consummation
and is pledged as full partner in its
enterprise. Only He is not standing
still. CO." He said, "and l am with
YOU" He is on the march and only as
we march can we keep in step with
Him. II we go He is our conrad, if
we stay we stay alone. He Jared far
beyond us in His endeavor to reach
the goal Of His passion. Cry with
the old saint, 90 Soul! March on
with Him"
