AS GLADYS MOORE
NOT RECOGNIZED.
1t is understood that the legal proceed
ings for the divorce were made by her
attorney, Dennis O'Brien of New York,
who has been in Los Angeles recently.
Under the name Gladys NJ. Moore
she was not recognized. When she APP
peared in court no reference was made
to the name of Owen Moore and 1t was
not until later that attaches of the
court learned the identity of the shah
billy dressed and weeping beauty.
While it is believed that she was still
at her ranch near Genoe, New, efforts
to communicate with Miss Pickford were
unavaiung, but 1t was stated by friends
in os-Angeles that she and her mother
were expected TO return to Los An
geles some time today.
An unusual sidelight to the divorce
is the fact that Miss PickfOrd and Moore
have frequently been working on the
same motion picture lot recently a
the Brunton studios.
Miss Pickford is credited with earn
ing a half million dollars last year OF
her film productions Her latest pic

earn a million dollars for her.

LOS ANGELES, March 4.-The news
that Mary Pickford had divorced Owen

of desertion, while expected in some
quarters. nevertheless caused a sensation
in Los Angeles.
The sudden announcement startled the
film colony here and production almost
ceased while the news was discussed. Inc
divorce details were not so much the
topic Of discussion as the probability OF
the marriage of Miss PickfOrd and Doug
las Fairbanks. RumOrs Of this union
were heard on every side, but no con-

tanned.

OF SHORT DURATION.
Miss Pickford and Moore were married
several years ago, but their happiness
apparently was of short duration. Some
three years ago they separated, each
continuing to star in films. Rumors OF
an impending divorce were heard day by
day and month by month. but many OF
Miss Pickfords friends contended she
would never file suit, because of her re-
ligious beliefs.
1t was during one of the Liberty loar
campaigns, in which Miss Pickford
Charlie CHAPLIN, Douglas Fairbanks and
other stars gave so much cid to the gov

that she and her husband were separated

With the separation of Mr.. and Mrs

year land to appear as a more finish

Most noticeable in the rendition
was the eager and ready response, es-
pecially of the chorus, to the baton OF
Director Farmer. The chorus was ably
assisted by an orchestra of 10 pieces
with Albert j. Tompkins as concert
master. Members OF the Meridian cho.

from 45e to 55c a pound she wonders
why more of this commodity is not
marketed Just now so as to get some

found at all the stores in Meridian all
the time? Many people in Meridian,
Boise, Nampa, and other towns buy
creamery butter or substitute butter
as regular practice. These families
would be glad to use country butter
at practically the same price as the
creamery article but are particular
and would not be satisfied with poor
ly made butter Make some good
butter and take,it to the grocery store
and ask for the cash. Ii It is butter
that will win customers the grocer
will pay cash for it, There is not en-
