coming LeWiston-C Charleston fair
this fall. They will be accom-
panied by a band and will be in
Cottonwood, Tuesday, August
10Th. The Lewiston Tribune has
the following to say about the
contemplated trip:
The Elks are planning an
excursion trip to the prairie
country in recognition of the
splendid support the prairie
country has given the lodge in
the matter of providing men,
bers. This recognition will con-
sist of entertainment to be pro-
vided for the lodge members at
all points visited and it is ex-
pected to spend two days in
making the visits.
The first night will be spent
at Winchester where a big pro-
gram will be provided and the

bens, no-Vollmer and Nezperce
will be invited to motor to Win
chester to enjoy the entertain
ment.

being planned will be repeated
from time to time.

HOBSON'S FILMPLAY
PROVES A SUCCESS

Congressman Richard Pearson Hob
son has scored a success as a motion
picture writer.
1.-The Law OF Nature" which is at
tracing large audiences to the
BeIasco Theater this week, is the
work of Congressman Hobson, pro-
duced by David G.. Fisher. 1t is a
sensational drama, with a punch
that is seldom seen in pictures OF any
nature. 1t tells story with strong
moral. but loses none OF its interest
through pointing out this moral.
Beginning with the sensational
scene in the studio in the first act,
and continuing throughout the story
the interest in the plot and characters
is skillfully maintained. Vincent
Coleman plays the male lead, with
Frances NeMoyer as the alluring
"vamp." These two young stars are
increasing their popularity through
their work in this feature.
The Law of Nature" has won the
praise of critics everywhere II has
been seen. 1t is a picture that is
billed as a. special: because II is I'M
