Siberia with their American soldier husbands, are to be sent to the United States by the gov ernment as soon as transportation is available. ; - s.' ' These brides come from every sta tion in life from the peasant girl to the college graduate and a number had been accustomed to the luxuries of life before war and revolution djove tnem from their homes. .; Their experiences in Manila prob ably, hay e been a disappointment for most of them, as their soldier hus. bands on their meager pay of $36 a month have been unable to support a family, house rent and food prices having almost doubled here within fERe last year. . -,. , -: To prevent these Russian girte of actual suffering, the Red Cross and other charitable organizations have provided them with shelter and food They are willing to work, but hav. ing no knowledge of English or of Spanish,-, they are unable to find em ployment in any of the stores of Ma. nila and native men and boys are preferred for house servants. After several weeks ' of investiga. tion as to the best disposition to make of the war brides and their sol. dier husbands, the. army authorities decided that they,- with few" excep. tions, should be sent to the United States and there- distributed among the army camps and posts, where quarters are 'available for married enlisted men. These the department of the Philippines is not able to pro vide. Only those enlisted men with wives who have an income in addi tion to their army pay, will be per. mitted to remain in the Philippines. . Some of - the Russian . girls who were disappointed in not obtaining soldier husbands at Vladivostok," dis guised as American soldiers stowed away on transports and came on this place, so eager were they to escape from the turmoil and suffering which have prevailed in Siberia almost since the beginning of the war. The stow aways, were turned over to the au thorities here to be deported to the country whence they came. Several of them were married at the pier while awaiting to be put on board a transport for the voyage back to Vladivostok, which made them Amer ican citizens and gave them a right to -remain here. One of these stowaways clad in male attire, when 'about to be placed on board a transport for deportation, with several thbusand Russian rubles in her hands, appealed to the crowd at the, pier for some man to marry her and save her Jife from what she said would .be certain death if she were returned to Siberia.

The steady shifting of New Foundland imports from Great Britain to Can. ady and the United States is shown in' foreign trade figures just made public here. Imports from ' Great Britain in 1909 were valued at $2,- 493,670 and in 1919 at $2,399,853. In the same period, imports from Canada increased 'from ' $3,937,009 to $12,777,684, and from the United States from $4,332,680 to $16,569,- 236V - ; ' - 1 -The climate of New Foundland is so severe that all of its food sup plies, except fish, a few farm prod ucts and a small quantity of meat, have to be imported. Practically all clothing, furniture and household goods also come from abroad. Until about 20 years ago these imports were divided almost equally between Great Britain, Canada and the United States, but since then the tendency each year has been to buy less from the mother country and more from the nearer neighbors. "As the value of articles imported has doubled since the beginning of the war, the falling off yt bulk of im. ports- from- Great Britain is much greater than indicated in the figures of value. Although the difficulties of transport across the Atlantic, es pecrally during the war, have had much to do with this, it is yery large. Ijr attributed to the activities of Am ei'ican and Canadian commercial travelers Business interests here have been informed that British traders are trying to set up machinery to re establish trade with various portions of 'the empire which was disrupted by the war and are expected to give first attention to New Foundland Dealers in this city are sending buy ers to the-British Isles this summer and say that they are prepared to fill their requirements there to the great extent possible, 1 if they can be as. sured of delivery.

If the amateur's i;!iot(jplay contains this element .it will Isave 1(J0 per cent better chance for 4U'orn,-'lii-'!i. ' . "What kind of a story is it?" will" be : the first -question asK-cd by the scenario editor when you hnvc carried the office boy by storm. "J las it love interest, moral interest, or is it just an other script." What h.e r'.'ans by tin's "interest" query is to a .k if your story has the eiempnt of human sympatliy.

In the same way, Mr. Griffith bar, combined the element of love and supers) itiorKjn his production of "The Idol ancer," a tale of the South Seas. 'Religion, if not too pronounced, forms a gripping interest. -The Christ-like character thrills tired men and women with the old lesson of good for evil and the certainty of a Deity who knows all and forgives all. Retribution is an other factor in which all men believe; tne demonstration o the law of com pensation interests everyone. Ail women and most men are inter ested in children. For this reason, the introduction of a pretty infant into th story will draw the sympatliy of audience. '1 he same is true of dot- .1 : horses, if they arc woven skillfull v u the body of the stoiy and not dran . in by the heels.

Every motion picture must have something which strike's a responsive note in the hearts of the audience. Otherwise, they will begin to file out in the middle of the second reel, no matter how melodramatic the action or. how tmposipg. the -scenery. , V ' - Carping critics call this sort of thing "sure fire; stuff" and "hokum." But every real artist knows that tnose things which move the human heart are as old as Nature and as new as the coming Spring. Every real love plot tells the old story, and yet. the, story is never the same. To inspire emotion in your audience, ynil must have been inspired with emo tion yourseli.

Few r.ktpti'-s would be willing to test their nerves by' a" night in an old tomb during a thiindcrshowcr, for superstitiorr' is ingrained in the human makeup. Krgo, the ghost in Hamlet, the witches in Macbeth,' the gypsy fortune teller of English ro mance,' and' the spiritualistic seances which are creeping into: many new photoplays. Modern audiences' will laugh at any attemptsto produce real ghosts on the screen ; but the explain able and yet unexplained phenomena the toppling . of the cathedral tower upon the German vandals, for example will always make the flesh creep.- D. W. Griffith recently used the supersti tious element with good effecr"in his production of . "The Greatest. Ques tion.". In one scene the heroine, ac companied by an eld negro and a coun try lad are shown passing cemetery at night. When they see a gioJXJilw The Rear American "Gripper" Success and the achievement thereof will always hold the American' audience. So will a note of patriotisma form of 1 interest which George M. Cohan ex ploited for years in his "flag hoisting" scenes.

It -will be a great lesson for you. -Ask your local exhibitor what type of pictures draw the crowds. An experienced mo tion picture exhibitor can give you.many a shrewd tip on human nature. The-very best way to acquire this touch is by trying to understand and sympathize with the people about you. Try to get the other chap's point of view. Realize that although you may think children a nuisance, the great majority of people become highly emo tional at the light of a pretty baby. A broad viewpoint is essential to anyone who essays to play on 'human heart strings through' the photoplay or anj other medium. .When you have mastered the elemental appeals, your, audience will follow you anywhere ho mattei how commonplace the jurrouadingj. ot how familiar load, " 1 - , Farm, Team and Growing Crop For Sale We have 100 acre farm, 65 acres cleared, on which there is now planted 10 acres tobacco, 20 cotton, 2 peanuts, 5 oats and 25 in corn; 3 nice mules and all farming utensils; 19 1-2 tons fertilizer under crop; splendid land and colored family of nine persons liv ing on farm; 2 tobacco barns; two tenant houses and pack house and barn.
