Now, I'm Goin' in and .Stop It!" Powers' Comic Cartoon (Split Reel) {Copyright 1917, Universal Film Mfg. Co.) "Boo-hoo, they won't let me join the army," Henry repined.

Close ups of Negrier Falls and of the ancient olive groves, showing the trees, carefully trimmed, all the outer ones trained to form a cup, thus admitting light and air to the fruit and ' facilitating the gathering of the crop, are included in the oft'ering.
