GOVERNMENT "ART'
POPULAR IN RUSSIA

LONDON, March 4-"Art", so far as
the production of pictures is concern
ed, is said to have had a great boom
in Bolshevist Russia owing to the face
that the government pays liberal
amount for all works approved by Of
fetal experts.
The whole domain of art has been
placed under the control of council
of seven members, four Of whom are
apostles of futurism. Artists earn
ings have been increased through a
rule established by the council under
which all pictures that pass the judges
are to be paid for at uniform rate OF
1000 rubles each.
Whether the artist has devoted
months of assiduous labor to a picture
Or whether it is a daub which has
taken few hours to paint, the recon
pense is the same. With such encour
agement the number Of artists il
Russia is increasing rapidly.

LEAP YEAR DANCE
AT MASONIC HALL

The regular Thursday night dance
at the Masonic hall, under the direc-
ton of Jean Davis, will take place to-
night, starting promptly at $50. Owing
to the fact this is leap year, Manager
Davis has suggested that the young
ladies of Ell Centro take it upon them
selves to invite the boys to escort them
to the dance, also convention might be
done away with for the night and the
young ladies might be given the oppor-
tunity to ask the young man for "the
next Dance This will be something
new for Ell Centre and should add
much life to the evening.

Although the poultry and turkey
raising industry in Imperial Valley is
but in its infancy as yet, it already
has assumed such gigantic proportions
as to warrant the assertion that with
in the next two years it will equal, if
not excel. in point of production,
either the Hollister or Petaluma dis
tricts in the raising of all varieties
of barnyard fowl.
Conditions here are admittedly far
superior to any other section of the
state for poultry raising. The climate
feed and general conditions are con-
ducive to the success of the industry.
According to figures submitted by
j. b. Hertal, one of the best known
Valley authorizes, the number of
poultry and turkeys rased in the val
ley last year was 10,572 dozens.
The fowl are of the white leghorrl
and barred rock varieties, the best
egg producing breeds, as it is not
thought practicable to raise meat fowl
here owing to the summer heat.
The turkey crop here alone last year
amounted to approximately $500, 900
while the Los Angeles and San Diego
markets consume more than we have

TO PAY TAXES TILL
THEY ARE FORCED
(By Associated Pressl

SHANGHAI, March 4.-Residents
OF the international settlement here
have suffered defeat in an attempt to
insist upon no taxation without repre-
sentation. Chinese merchants refused
to pay taxes unless they were per-
m!tted to elect members of the muni-
cipal council which is composed en-
tlrely of foreigners-six British, two
Americans and one japanese. The
population of the settleemnt numbers
about 10000 foreigners and $4,000
Chinese.
The merchants resisted payment of
tax but were compelled to capitulate
when the tax collectors seized prop
erty in the Chinese stores and carted
it to police headquarters

taxpayers next April

Mary Pickford
Cannot Remarry
And Keep Faith
(Sneciai to The Press.l

LOS ANGELES, March 4.-Mary
Pickford, who divorced Owen Moore
in Minden, New, Tuesday evening,
cannot mary again and remain a
member of the Catholic church. This
was the statement of church officials
here last night upon the repeated as
sertions of friends of Mary Pickford
and Douglas Fairbanks that they
planned to marry as soon as she got
a divorce. Miss Pickford, her mother
and Mr.. Moore are in Nevada, but are
expected home in a day or so, despite
the assertion of the film actress that
she expects to stay in Nevada long
time and make it her permanent home
Mr.. Fairbanks was reported on loca-
ton in Arizona. Relatives of Miss
Pickford and Mr.. Fairbanks declared
they knew nothing official, and in
general discounted the new marriage
rumors.
"There is absolutely no truth in
the report that "a special dispensation
from Rome was obtained to permit
Miss Pickford to marry again." said
Bishop Cantwell. He stated that Miss
Pickford is a member of the Catholic
church.
The Catholic church holds that a
marriage, once it is made valid, can
not be set aside. Mgr. 2. Harnett
of ST. Vibiana's Cathedral, explained
last night in connection with this
phase of the case.
"No special disrensation is neces
sary to obtain afseiisorce,' he said
because the church looks upon ;
divorce as separation only. Blu
another marriage, following di
vorce cannot be recognized by thu
church,
