: A comparison of grocery prices today with those of 1910-14, just before the World War will reveal
the fact that the consuming public is paying about the same average cost for food now as then unless
i with the exception of meats—at least such is the case, we believe, in the Robert C. Moore Stores.
Hunt oo some of the grocery advertising of that day and make the comparison for yourself. You will
i find it interesting.

Cleveland St. Girl’s School,
Sydney, Australia,
17th, December, ’30
Dear Florence:
On behalf of our class, I am writ
ing in answer to your interesting
letter which we all thought very nice.
It came as a great surprise, to us
as we had never before received a
letter from so far away.
Our school—Cleveland Street, is
a very large and old school. It is
situated on the corner of Cleveland
and Chalmers Street. It is a very
busy and noisy spot. You can pic
ture us in school trying to learn our
lessons while trams, busses and mo
tor cars rush noisily backward and
forward.
Looking from our schoolroom win
dows one can see our lovely “Prince
Albert’ ’ Park with its Evergreen
trees and the fresh green grass
which looks very nice since we have
had plenty of rain.
In this park is situated a large and
interesting museum, which brings to
one’s mind clearly the outlines of
the great war.
In here is the aeroplane belonging
to our famous aviator, Sir Ross
Smith.
Our harbor is one of the finest and
most beautiful harbors of the world.
While traveling around the Syd
ney harbor, our gaze first rests on
the Botanical Gardens. Gorgeous
flowers of all descriptions make this
huge garden one of intense beauty.
Government House stands here,
where Lady and Sir Philip Game, our
Governor and his wife are living.
Next we see Neilson Park, which
it is considered, has one of the finest
swimming grounds which is guarded
by a large shark-proof net.
On the opposite side is Clifton
Gardens which also has fine and spa
cious bathing grounds.
To improve this wonderful scenery
and enormous structure, our wonder
ful ‘Harbor Bridge,” which we are
well able to be p roud of (for it is
the largest of its kind in the world)
is in the course of construction across
our harbor. We hope to have it com
pleted in the early part of 1931.
It will be one-fourth mile long
when finished and Can be seen from
almost any part of the city and also
many suburbs.
While completing our tour of the
: harbor, one can see Watson s Bay,
while not far away stands Vaucluase
House where W. Charles Wentworth,
one of Australia’s greatest patriots,
lived.
It was he who founded our famous
Sydney University, where many of
our clever scholars are trained to be
come doctors, lawyers and many oth
er great professions.
Our city, Sydney, which is the
third largest in the world, contains
nearly two million people.
We, like you, also have four seas
ons, spring, summer, autumn and
winter.
At the present we are read/ to be
gin our six weeks holiday. Yester
day we had a big breaking up party
which we all enjoyed tremendously.
On November 4th we sat for a big
examination and every girl in our
| class—C. A.—passed except three,
■ owing to our patient and hard-work
; ing teacher, Miss Allen.
We are all therefore going to dif
ferent schools for a secondary course,
We must now close, wishing you a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year. Hoping you will write to this
school again.
Your new Anstralia friends,
Jean Rhan and Marie Goldsmith,
on behalf of class.

REX BEACH STORY GAINS
POWER ON THE SCREEN
Drama, that portrayal by action of
the things that make up the strug
gle of life, is given its most vivid
picturization in “The Silver Horde,”
Radio Pictures’ red-blooded outdoor
romance of the North, which comes
to the Royal theatre Friday and Sat
urday, February G-7th.
Thousands road, enjoyed, thrilled,
to this romantic novel by Rex Beach.
Millions will find new thrills, drama
and action in the talking screen ver
sion.
From the opening scenes, where
Joel McCrea and Raymond Hatton
fight their way through the frozen
North to the final sequences whe.e
Evelyn Brent and Jean Arthur fight
for the love of their man, the story
is complete in its pathos, romance,
drama and comedy.
The manner in which the story
moves from the frozen wastelands to
fishing villages into an American
metropolis and back again with rap
id entertaining progress, brands Geo.
Archainbaud, the director, as an art
ist in his line.
Three terriftic fights are staged
with telling effect. One of them in
volves many boats and scores of
men. Another, between Joel McCrea
and Ivan Linow, is one of the most
spectacular exciting man-to-man en
counters ever staged for a motion
picture.
“The Silver Horde,” distinguished
with brililant characterizations of an
unusually able cast and carrying rac
ing thrills throughout, is heartily
recommended as ideal screen enter
tainment.
