Lockwood in "The Hidden Spring" Glorious scenery marks Harold Lockwood's Metro Yorke production, "The Hidden Spring," to be shown at the New Fairyland Theatre on Sunday only. This feature photodrama has been pictured by Fred J. Balshofer from the novel of the same name by Clarence B. Kelland, and depicts life in and near an Arizona mining camp. In one scene Mr. Lockwood, as Donald Keeth, a young lawyer, attempts to save a lumberman who plunges down a rocky cascade. In so doing he loses his own footing, and is swept after him by the angry current. Together the men struggle in the foam at the foot of the waterfall and then Mr. Lockwood as Keeth aids the smaller, weaker man to a place of safety. Incidentally, this episode furnishes the material for the climax of the play; since Dave, the lumberman, holds the secret that Keeth needs to know in his fight against graft and corruption, and in gratitude for his rescue Dave tells the truth. Lockwood pictures are noted for the beauty of their photography and outdoor scenes. Antonio Gaudio is the camerman in "The Hidden Edward Schleuter has opened a butchershop at Brea, where his customers will find the best markets afford.

Lockwood pictures are noted for the beauty of their photography and outdoor scenes. Antonio Gaudio is the cameraman in "The Hidden Spring," as in other recent Metro-Yorkke productions, and the virility and bravery of the star himself must receive credit for the vigor and dash of this and other productions.

Fullerton has repeatedly felt the need of an institution where the injured, sick and the feeble could be cared for and receive proper treatment at the right time, and its needs are finally to be met, and in a way that is sure to meet the approval of the people.

The children were then taken into another room where a Christmas tree was prepared and all were treated to candy and nuts, and each child was presented with a toy. The afternoon's entertainment was in charge of Mrs. Earl Abbey. When the railroad commission sets the date for the rehearing of the Bell Telephone case, it will find the Orange county attorneys ready. Not a stone has been left unturned if there was a chance for crooked work to hide under it. An expert has been going over the ground for the past three weeks, collecting all the information possible, to show the way in which the trust is trying to corral the communities of Southern California and exact a tax for every conversation. Not only is this being done in Orange county. The fight is as hot in the north section of Los Angeles county and is spreading all through the territory that the Bell seeks to bring under its new toll area. It is expected talt the hearing will be called on short notice and that the time will be set near the fifteenth of the month. No word has been received since Mr. Eden's return from the East. A meeting of the three attorneys, Eden, Garret and Ames has been called and the men who are to put up the fight for this county will gather their information together in the way it may be expressed quickest and most forcibly. There is yet much information that would be of use to the community attorneys. If the readers know anything of value they are urged out of the sense of self preservation, to make it known. Also, any checks that you can send to the chamber of commerce for furthering the fight will be appreciated. NOW FOR CHRISTMAS This store is splendidly ready to help you in solving your gift problems. Every section of the store offers numerous suggestions, that will help you in your gift buying. Start your Xmas Shopping Today. At Falkenstein's DEPARTMENT STORE Anaheim’s Greatest Gift Store PLANS MEMBERSHIP DRIVE A nation wide Christmas drive for membership has been planned by the PLANS MEMBERSHIP DRIVE A nation wide Christmas drive for membership has been planned by the American Red Cross. The campaign will have for its object the addition of 10,000,000 names to the present Red Cross muster roll, and it is confidently expected that it will be attained. The campaign will start December 17, and continue until Christmas Eve. It seems certain to arouse an interest of an unprecedented character. At a conference at the National headquarters in Washington, attended by representatives from all of the 13 Red Cross divisions in the United States, details of the campaign were agreed upon, subject to such modifications or amplifications as may be deemed necessary to meet conditions in different cities or districts. There are about 3000 Red Cross chapters in the United States, and each chapter under the direction of a local chairman, will start its part of the drive at dawn on December 17. Doubtless there will be a great zest in the rivalry of the various chapters to make a showing at the finish. "Make this a Red Cross Christmas" will be a slogan heard from one end of the land to the other. As this will be America's first Christmas in the world war, it is felt that the spirit of the season needs only the Red Cross suggestion to add gloriously to the work which is to be done with respect to caring for our soldiers, and in relieving war distress in all its forms. ALL IN OUR WAR TOGS NOW Washington has its war togs on, and of this the country is being constantly reminded. For example, it is authoritatively announced that both those who provoke trouble by discriminating against union labor and those who strike for recognition of labor unions will get neither official sympathy nor recognition except as their activities bring them into conflict with the fixed purposes and activities of the government. Loyalty and universal service under government protection is the watchword now. Nothing to interfere with that will be permissible. President Wilson has made it very clear that war emergency will not be permitted to work the undoing of laws for labor's protection. It is equally clear that war emergency is not to be the occasion for forcing the development of the "closed shop" movement. The president's idea appears to be that every true American is presumably in the attitude of one enlisted or conscripted for the war. The government, not the individual, or groups of individuals, will fix the rules and conditions under which the war will be fought and victory won. And what is more, every American who is true to the core knows that the president, in this matter, is everlastingly on the square and indisputably right. It is declared to be illegal to take letters which would normally be mailed for three cents to the office of delivery where they may be mailed for two cents. San Francisco merchants with large numbers of letters for Los Angeles delivery have been instructed to cease sending by special messenger in large quantity to the latter city and mailing under two cent stamps.
