The story deals with the Limberlost,
a swamp in which valuable timber
grows, and as it was necessary for the
two stars and Director Neilan to find
such a place, the company journeyed
ito the northern part of California, and
There made inquiry as to where they
could find such a swamp. One was
finally located far back in the hills.
Not stopping to think that they were
apt to strike bad roads, the party Sc

loaded 1t into an automobile and set
forth. Night overlook them while they
were still about ten miles from the
swamp and they camped in tents by
the roadside.
During the night 1t rained and the
next morning the road was a sea of

maid, and Lillian Leighton were the
only feminine members of the party.
The company started on but had not
proceeded far before the automobile
stuck. They decided to turn back, but
the roads were even worse, so for two

SHERIFF LoGANs VACATION

Governor Cats pompously an
nounces that he has removed" Sher-
iff Logan of Polk county.
We recall that since he has been
in office he has removed the sher-
If of Sumter county and numerous
other county officials, whom the con-
stitution of the state of Florida says
cannot be removed except with the
consent of the senate, to the extent
0. some nearly twenty-five thousand
dollars which the taxpayers had to
pay for his abnormal stupidity and
ignorance in trying to do something
he could not do.
Sheriff Logan has been merely
granted a vacation two years by this
rampant, strike-loving, lump of ignor-
ant matter. He will sit quietly down
and enjoy the first rest he has had
in many years, and when the next
senate convenes it will by act declare
him entitled to, and appropriate out
OF any funds in the state treasury,
the full amount of salary and fees
which the clerk of the court for Polk
county will certify has been drawn
by the man filling his place. No
Florida senate is going to make a
faithful sheriff or other state official
lose his work and his honestly earned
pay for the mere mad within Of any
crazed class-arraying, prejudice-in-
citing, vote-seeking candidate who
happens to get hold of the chief exec
utiveship Of Florida.
Governor Cats announced that
he would be at Lakeland Sunday eve
ming, but when he learned that near
ly three thousand citizens of Polk
county would meet him there to pro-
test mis- tyrannical action in this mat
Ter, ne never showed sup.
II was all right for him to stage a
great protest" meeting in Tampa by
bringing his striking friends here to
hear him denounce law and order,
bat when it comes to law and order
and decency of procedure being rep
resented by nearly three thousand
men ready to wait on him and "pro-
test" it's a different matter and he
ducks.
Governor Cats removals from Of

the greatest number for any like time

ANOTHER POLITICAL OUTRAGE

LAKELAND JlTNEY
BUS TAKES A SWIM IN
LAKE AT MANGO

Ten or twelve passengers on the
huge white jitney bus running be-
tween Lakeland and Tampa, had Wis
ions CT an unscheduled swimming
party yesterday afternoon when the
bus suddenly skidded off the road as
it was approaching Mango, en- route
to Tampa, and after smashing through
a barbed wire fence, wound up in
the lake at the side of the road.
Fortunately the bus did not over
turn and it was stopped on the edge
of the lake, in eighteen inches of
water. After the passengers had
scrambled ashore they finished the
trip to Tampa in two large trucks
that happened along at the proper
time to be of assistance. The bus
was hauled out none the worse for
the experience and will be back on
the job today-Tampa Tribune.

WALTHALL CALLED
POE OF THE SCREEN"
In "Modern Husbands" Famous Ac-
tor Does Most Conspicuous Work
Since Appearance In "The
Avengins Conscience"

Henry B. Walthall, screen define
ator of forceful and imaginative roles,
who is appearing in productions re-
leased through Exhibitors Mutual,
has been called the Edgar Allen Poe
of the SCREEN
Mr.. Walthall is, in fact, a deep
student of the author Of "The Raw
en- "Annabel Lee" and "The Gold
Bug and possesses one of the most
complete and interesting collections
Of the great poets works in existence.
The affinity Of Poe and Walthall
has often been remarked. 1t was in
such successes as "The Avenging
Conscience" built upon some Of Poe's
stories, that the great actors ability
to visualize the psychology of the
emotions was demonstrated, and in
such Characterization Walthall is
without a rival
In stature, temperament and Inca
ments the actir might be called a
rejncarnation of Poe, who himself
came of historic family, his father
being one of the most talented actors
of his day.
As Stephen Duane, in Modern
husbands" Walthall more closely ap-
proximates the imaginative role
which made him famous, than any
thing he has done within the past
three years, which means that he has
again come into his own with role
suited to his rare and distinctive tai
ents.
Modern Husbands" will be pre-
sented this afternoon and tonight at
the Auditorium.
