AT THE REPUBLIC TOMORROW

William Farnum's name he's become
associated with film plays of power
and great dramatic intensity There
fore moving picture patrons will look
forward with keen anticipation to his
latest picture, Riders of The Purple
Sage which will be shown at the Re-
public theatre, Tuesday evening.
Adapted from Zane Grey's famous
novel of the same name, Riders of
The Purple Sage" tells story that
breathes all ruggedness, virility and
yastness OF the great west in the
early pioneer days, and affords Mr.
Farnum an exceptional opportunity to
portray those sterling qualities of
manhood which have made him pre-
eminent among stars of the screen.
Its scenes laid in Utah, in the days
when INSCRIPTIONS leaders of the Nor
church were trying to spread the tenet
of polygamy, this great photoplay tells
of the abduction of girl by digni-
tary of the Mormon church, of the long
hunt of her brother for the guilty men
and of the final settlement, when Las
sitter. as played by Mr.. Farnum,
avenges the great wrong on the honor
of his sister.
Startling gun duels, thrilling rides
along the edge of frowning cliffs, sin
lister intrigues, and sensational reve-
lations of the mysterious practices of
the early Mormon elders-all form a
tremendous sweep of action that
mounts into tremendous climax.
when huge rock is dropped down a
narrow gorge to crush body of horse
men that are pursuing man and girl.
The horsemen are killed, but the rock
seals up in the narrow valley the man
and girl forever.
Running through the picture is an
absorbent love story that tells of the
great love of strong man for good
woman.

If the trip k for business. and presumably i, is, well and good but if for pleas urc. it is simply waste of further funds of the Department of the lntc'' for.

PUBLIC LEGAL AID
 Is NOW GIVEN BY
 X BAR ASSOCIATION

SAN DIEGO, Aug. l-- In a repor; made by P. A. Whitacre' recently ap- pointed by the San Diego Bar Assoc iaton as public legal aid the attorney shows that during the two months the office has been in existence he had re- ceived more than l25 calls for advice.
 The office of public defender was established to conform to the provls- ions of legacy left by Lieut.. Dewitt C. Mitchell. who died while in the military service of the United States. Lieut.. Dewitt C. Mitchell before enter ing the service was an attorney in this city. Control of the legacy and dis burSement of funds thereby provided was left to the San Diego Bar Assoc iation of funds thereby provided was left to the San Diego Bar Association.
 Few cases submitted to the public defender have been carried to tho courts, an amicable settlement having been arranged wherever possible.
 Persons applying for relief or de- fcnse who are found to be attempting to uSurp privileges to which they are not entitled are sent elsewhere. The public defender has had little of this to contend with. however according to his report "and no trepidation neen be felt by the worthy applicant
 The trust Stipulates that;
 "All persons who shall apply to said public attorney for his aid and assistance and who shall appear to him. to be in need of an attorney shall prosecute or defend their legal rights or give them legal aid or de- fence as the case may be, providing however that said public attorney shall confine his services to matteiS of civil nature"
 Requests for relief are varied and cover all classes of civil litigation. Many former soldiers and sailors have called for aid
 The trust was not established pr'- marily as a charity. The only chargeS however are for filing and other costs. A stipulation in the terms of the foun- dation show that it was planned to 'help him who helps himseIf". The will says:
 "I hereby subscribe to the view that persons who have saved a little money or other property, and who are in dan ger of losing it. are more worthy of help to preserve what they have laid by, than persons who have not had the foresight or self control to lay by say ings."
 Lieut. Mitchell's mother Mrs. Aus tin w. Mitchell. has enlarged the scope of her sons legacy by supplying funds for the maintenance of an office in centrally located building. Steno- graphic. telephone and other service has also been furnished.
 Whitacre was appointed May to serve one year, successive appoint ments to be made by the Bar associa- tion for one year periods.
