LARK ELLEN" AT IMPERIAL

Ellen Beach Yaw, a Southern Cali fornia girl whose musical develop ment has been watched with an almost personal pride and interest by thous- ands of Calfornians. sang to an au- dience that filled the Imperial city auditorium Tuesday night. She con cluded the printed program by es- saying the mad scene from Lucia de Lammermoor. w. J. Henderson, mu- sical critic of the New York Times, wrote of her rendition of this solo at the Metropolitan Opera House few months ago that it was worthy the greatest artist that had ever sung 1t in the Metropolitan. Her renidi- tion of Dei.hes "Lakme" denominated "The Bell Song" on the program, was artistic perfection The high notes that have made Miss Yaw the wonder of the musical world were as true, clear and strong as were the notes Of the middle register and she brought to the interpretation sympathy and grace that made the song pleasure.
 The accompanist, Currier Deming, rendered several concert numbers in finished style and proved himself a master when playing for the singer. Jay Plowe, flute soloist, performed wonders on brand new and very harsh instrument, his best work be- ing his obligato to Miss Yaw's mad scene.
 The Womans Club of Imperial man aged the affair very successfully, full house being the net result, despite the wind storm that ragged.

CEMETERY FOR FL cENTRo

Fl Centro has no cemetery and for the first two or three years of the towns existence it had no use for a cemetery, but man is not indestruc- tib1e and does not live forever, even on the desert, and the time has ar rived when final resting place must be provided for the dead. Whether the city or an association of citizens should establish and care for bur ial ground is a question to be dis cussed and answered by the people of Fl Centro, and the matter will be next meeting of the Chamber of Com merce on February IA.

THE MISTLETOE EOUGH.

Thoughts of Which It Ess Long Besa
 EmbIematic.
 The mistletoe boughs and sprigs bring again to mind the superstitions regarding this curious parasite.
 For many generations after the last Druid was dust the mistletoe had it's votaries. The plant had alnest every medicinal property, according to arly physicians. It was believed 70 b. {, remedy for ills. physical, mental and sentimental. In pagan days it was dedicated to Olwen. tEe Celtic Vtuus. and through the ages the plant and the tender passion were rather inti-, mately intwined. Kissing beneath # began so far back in history that no one has ever attempted to trace the custom to its youth.
 The Druids, in common with almost all primitive men. had deep rever- ence for the idea of the trinity-the the mistletoe are often found in groups of three, and this circumstance as well as the fact thar the berries ripc,l at the sacred season. although they flow CT with apple blossoms and wild roses. must have impressed them. It all events, the white boaghs wore gsthsf- cd near the end of t,e year and played ;tn important part in the ceremonies of December
 The Druids did not regard all mistle- toe with reverence, or at least they did not gather it in their ceremonies, from any tree except the oak. which was their sacred tree. Now the mistletoe almost never grows on oak trees. In England. the continent of Europe and n America the pretty parasitic growth ssAe viscum album of the botanists, iS found growing on apple trees, willows larches. sycamores, noplars, elms an0 many other rses. but very rarely oss' oak trees.
