There is nothing but work in the life Moot Gibbon lives in "40 Horse Hawkins." He performs the multitudinous tasks about a country hotel and theatre, said to be one of his most humorous situations. The serious work of the member of the little theatrical company that comes to the village which made their audience shed tears of sympathy, and hiss the villian, is in itself laughter producing. Hoot's adventures in New York are such as might have fallen to anyone who comes from a ranch, seeking stardom in the theatricals and especially, the lady of his heart. Among others in the east are Anne Bornwall, Helen Holmes, remembered as a former serial queen and Richard Tucker.

The candidate has decided definitely it was stated today, to enter the solid south and campaign vigorously in the strongholds of the Ku Klux Klan, whose foe he is. "We will be on the ballots of every state in the "solid south" young La Follette added. "We believe there is a substantial progressive sentiment throughout the south. The south has had few opportunities to express itself." Touching upon the threatened resignation of Warren G. Stone from the La Follette organization, "young Bob," said it would be without significance, even if it occurred."

A mother, reading between the lines of unsatisfactory notes from her boy, who has gone to New York City to make his fortune, is prompted by intuition to send her daughter to the city to find out what is wrong with him. The girl arrives just on the eve of a tragedy when her brother, who has fallen in with a gang of boot-leggers, is caught with a truckload of liquor and arrested after a federal officer has been killed in the fight. The boy, innocent of the murder, is "framed" by his companions and sentenced to the death chair. Through the heroic efforts of the girl, who pretends to drop in with the life of the underworld in order to get evidence that will save her brother's life, he is finally cleared of the charge. The situations which develop when the girl faces dishonor for the sake of her brother, have given Blanche Sweet, Bessie Love and others of the all-star cast unlimited opportunity. "Agravatin' Papa," a comedy crowded with laughs, and California News Flashes, complete a very nice program. RICH CAFE OWNER CLAIMS "FRAME UP" LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19—Charges he had been the victim of a "frame up" were hurled today by A. J.

Detectives in the meantime took up the trail of a girl, said to have participated in a similar affair with Nicholson, and who, the officers assert, was spirited out of town and started on her way east. Five Long Beach families, the officers declare, have reported their daughters have been made the objects of Nicholson's alleged attentions.

Clairmont regards the showing made by the tract as good, considering the state of the market. If low terms had been offered, the lots could have been sold off like hot cakes, said the realtor.
