"Where the North Begins" Packed
With Drama-Dog 10 Hero in
Fast. Movino Picture

A picture with dog for hero is
offered movie patrons in where the
North Begins" to be shown at the
Colonial theatre today and tomorrow.
Rintintin, the remarkable police
dog, is the hero, and is said to excel
himself in this Warne.. Brothers
classic of the screen, where he takes
the part of a wolf -dog who leaves the
pack to attack helpless victim of a
gang of outlaws, and becomes his de-
voted friend.
Rintintin was born on the firing
line in France and brought to Cali
fornia, where his intelligence plus the
excellent training afforded him made
him one of the elite of dogdom. He
has won many championships in run
ming and jumping: his owner says
there is nothing any dog can do that
Rintintin cannot do.
The action of where the North
Begins" is set in the far north, miles
from civilization, in n Hudson Bay
trading post, where Shad Galloway
rules with an iron hand as factor. A
gang of outlaws is operating in the
region and Gabriel Dupre. young
trapper, sets out with load of furs,

place in the base of the corn stalks
or In large woods or plants about the
cages OF corn fields explain the i'm
prtance of fall blowing and the cut
ting and burning of all refuse and
weeds.
Commenting upon the work that
mas been done by the. department
this year, Commissioner Washburn
said there had been two principal
lines of defense maintained against
the spread of the insect. The
principal highways and bridges
leading into the state have been
Patrolled and all cars coming
from the heavily infested areas out
side the state stopped and examined.
This has undoubtedly done much to
protect York county which might
othefWlSe nave become the dumping
ground for corn grown in other
q uarantined areas.
A second quarantine line was also
maintained during most of the sea :
son on the boundary between Yorl,
and Curpberland counties, that being
the extent of the infested territory
as then understood. No corn was
permitted to pass this line EXCEPT
sweet corn intended for canning
! purposes under inspection and per-
NIT from the department of agri-
culture. Corn Gamers along the
border of the infested area have
been urged to destroy all waste from
their factories and have without ex-
ception given the department their
honest and sincere cooperation in
preventing the spread of the pest.
Commissioner Washburn discussed
the parasite work being done by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture -
Fall blowing has been found to
destroy from 95 to SO per cent of
infestations," said Commissioner
Washburn, and is the most effective
method of combating the pest.
"All farmers in Southern Maine
are urged to give up for the time
being. at least. the practice of seed
ing down with corn.
In case of the further spread of
the borer or an increase in the num-
Der of infestations, it will be neces-
sary for the department to strictly
enforce the law requiring fall pillow
ing, and farmers who have seeded
down their corn land may thus suf-
fer considerable loss"
