"There are contrasting backgrounds of America and Bavaria during the war. It is not a war picture, however, there being only a flash of the battleâ€" field, depicting the meeting of the two brcthers in oppesing armies. This scene is one of the emotional highlights of the picture. In referring to this picture one press review says:â€" "Briefly, it is the simple, intensely human story of a mother and her four sons. The theme is faithâ€"the faith of the mother in humanity. In spite of all the troubles that beset the old lady, her confidence remains unbroken. "Four Sons," a Fox production, will be the special feature picture at the Goldfields theatre on Priday and Saturâ€" day of this week June 2l1st and 22nd "The role of the mother is beautifully portrayed by Margaret Mann, the sixty year old extra who achieved everlastâ€" ing film fame through her remarkable performance in this production. The four sons are no less admirably played by James Hall, Chas. Morton, Prancis X. Bushman, Jr., and George Meeker.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO "The method of spending the $5,000,â€" 000 voted by the Ontario Legislature for the use of the Northern Developâ€" ment Branch was the subject of some sharp criticism when members of the party of touring Liberal members adâ€" dressed a meeting at Porquis Junciion this afternoon. W. E. N. Sinclair, K.C., Liberal leader, told the audience the Opposition realized that the money was needed for the development of the country, but the Government should say how it is spent. Friends in town and district will reâ€" gret to learn that Mr. A. L. Hancock, of Cochrane, has found it necessary to go to Toronto for medical treatment from specialists. Mr. Hancock is a freâ€" quent visitor to Timmins and has hosts of friends in this part of the country who will very sincerely wish him a speedy and complete recovery of health. A lespatch last week from Porquis Junction says:â€" PORQUIS JUNGTION HEARS LIBERAL LEADER LAST WEEK ‘"They do not even tell us what they have done with the money and so we have to come and see for ourselves," said Mr. Sinclair. He declared if the Liberals got into power, they would handle the matter on a different basis. They would ask the people what were their needs and requirements. ‘"We need not limit ourselves to five million dollars," he said. Political Rally at Junction Addressed by W. E. N. Sinclair and Members of His Party Last Week. "The liquor question cropped up durâ€" ing the meeting when John Rowlandâ€" son, the chairman, said that Ontario, a Province with natural resources second to none, did not need the revenue from liquor sales and should be above getâ€" ting money in that form. W. Newman, M.L.A. for North Victoria, who rejoined the party today, speaking on this same topic, said that the people, instead of the advanced temperance legislation they had expected, had witnessed the Government make themselves the agent for breweries and the distilleries. He declared that the Liberal party would accept Government control if it was the will of the people, but "there is going to be a limit to the quantity you can buy and there will be some control of the sale." "Mr. Sinclair declared that the setâ€" tlers had stretches of road in different parts, but "you do not go far before you strike trouble. In a country like this there should be continuous developâ€" ment out from the centre and the roads should keep pace with the settleâ€" ment. The Liberal leader contended Northern Ontario should get a fairer share of the revenue which came from the North so that better educational facilities and social conditions would be available for the people. "Tonight the party are in Timmins, where they were guests at a nonâ€"poliâ€" tical banquet. Informal conferences with prominent Liberals will be held before the party leave tomorrow noon for the South, with Englehart the next stop. Arrangements made toâ€"day would indicate that a meeting is to be held in the railway town tomorrow night, the journey to Haileybury being resumed at midnight. "At Porquis uunction Mr. Sinclair said there must be development of agâ€" riculture if the North Country was to advance. It was all very well to have mines and pulp mills, he said, but the wealth of the country depends on the progress of agriculture, which must keep step with other settlement. . To his mind the development of Northern Ontario hadsbeen too much along inâ€" dustrial lines at the expense of agriâ€" culture, and he thought the settlers had been told too much what they should do and did not have the coâ€" opsration to which they were entitlea from the Government.

The meetings are held in the hall of the United Church, the ladies of the church doing the catering. From the results, it would appear that the arâ€" rangement is an excellent one, the hall being a commodious one and the lunâ€" cheons being very attractive.

Macâ€" donald, editor of The Advance, and president of the District of Cochrane Children‘s Aid Society. The address was a brief review of the history of the Children‘s Aid movement in Ontario from the days when the need for the work was urged so eloquently by J. J. Kelso, a Toronto newspaperman, until the present time when it may be said that tens of thousands of children have been advantaged to say nothing of the value to the country in the betterment of citizenship. A number of illustraâ€" tions of cases actually handled by soâ€" cieties in the province.â€"of course, withâ€" out names or other details to identify themâ€"were given to show exactly what the work was like.

"Operations at the Siscoe property, it is learned from authoritative sources, are being carried on at the present time on a quite profitable basis. The mill, which was started in January, is now treating an average of 980 tons of ore a day from which a recovery of more than 90 per cent. is being obtainâ€" ed. Mill heads are averaging in the neighbourhood of $13 per ton and curâ€" rent production is valued in the neighâ€" bourhood of $1,100 per day. The total value of the gold output from Siscoe up to the end of May was $125,000 and from this amount, despite the usual trouble in tuning up a mill, a handâ€" some profit was realized.

SISCOE GOLD SINKING THE SHAFT DOWN TO WIDER ORF it was among the first producers of gold and was the first property in Quebec to make regular shipments of gold only. The Siscos mine is located on Siscoe Island on Lake Kienawisik in the townships of Dubuisson and Varsan, about 45 miles south of the town of Amos. Four levels have been opened up from a 500â€"foot inclined shaft and apart from the ore already mined and milled it is reported sufficient ore is in sight to keep the mill supplied to capaâ€" city for another 12 months. In addiâ€" tion the vein has been picked up beâ€" low the 500â€"foot level by diamond drillâ€" ing. Meanwhile an aggressive developâ€" ment campaign is being mappe:l out for the property at greater depths and attention will also be paid to several other promising areas on the property." 38th Battalion, C.E.F.

"Up to the present time Riscoe has been regarded as a high grade proposiâ€" tion as the ore on the upper levels has been found across comparatively narrow widths but of such richness that almost 85 per cent. has besn recovered by amalgamation. Recent sampling at the 500â€"foot level, it is reâ€" ported unofficially, has given results which would indicate a change of conâ€" ditions, a slightly lower grade of ore having been indicated over a much greater width at this horizon. Sampl!lâ€" ing is still in progress and it will be several days before the results are known but officials are said to be hopeâ€" ful of continued improvement in widths as the vein is opened up at greater depths.
