 AUDITORIUM FOR LOS ANGELES
 An auditorium of sufficient size to accommodate the largest choral events or musical performances IS to be erected in Los Angeles. Al Exposition Park there will be con- structed a coliseum that will seat 50,- 900 persons and will cost $S00,OO0 It will be 6SO feet in length and 344 feet wide. The construction will be of steel and concrete.
 This immense structure is to be built on land owned by the Agricul- rated Jointly by the city. the county and the Community Development Association, a non-profit organiza- tion. The city and county will pay a rental for eight years to this as- sociation, which will advance the money for the construction. A forty year lease will be given to the county and city of Los Angeles.
 The lack of accommodations fol 1 large gatherings has been an insur- mountable obstacle to the presenta-
 tion of big spectacles or the forma- tion of large choruses. As construc- 1 tion will. start in a month, it is ex- l pected that the Southwest will bt equipped for huge performances O. l all kinds within a year.

DEKALBP PLANTERS
 CONTINUE HOPEFUL
Farmers Will Reduce Cotton Acreage and Diversity to Re-
 cover From Last Season

Fort Payne, April '. Especially J. The cotton acreage in DeKallb county will be cut to considerable extent this year. according to information obtainable from local cotton men and farmers. This county was not only hit by the low price of last year. but there was also large shortage of the cotton yield here, thereby working hardship on the cotton farmer in two ways.
 The early Spring weather which has prevailed for the. past few weeks has given an impetus to early farming and land is being turned in many sections of the county. It Is likely that more corn will be planted in the place of the cotton acreage to be discontinued this year, although a part of it may be used to grow other crops.
 The fertilizer dealers are receiving very little business at this time and prospects for a large fertilizer sale in this county are very meager. The high price of the fertilizer and the scarcity of money is attributed as the cause of the decline to purchase and this years crops will probably be grown without very much fertilizer
 In spite of the disappointing situa- tion relative to last years crops and the price received, the situation Is be- ing met sternly in the face and other means of bringing in ready money are being sought by the farmers. The poultry market is becoming active in this section, carloads of chickens be- ing shipped away every week, thus distributing thousands of dollars to the farmers.
 Merchants report a revival of trade que to the arrival of the spring months and their demands and from all indications the peak of the hard times has been passed in this county.

 KILPATRICK AMAZED
 Moscow, February 24.-The Ameri- can lady journalist, Louise Bryant. has visited the internment camp of Aneronovsky, former cloister where the foreigners are now detained. The park is surrounded by very. beautiful buildings. There are many interest ing persons to be found here such las the Emir of Chiva, the cream of Hungarian nobility such as Count Szechenyi, brother -in-law of Gladys Vanderbilt. There are also a number of pretty Polish ladies, the American captain, Fitzpatrick, Baron Stackel- berg, a well-known scientist, and mixed society of Poles, Czechs and other nationalities.
 The prisoners are quite free to 'move around the park. The guards are outside the walls. The housing and feeding is better than the average in Moscow

 Ample Funds

Fort Payne, April 7.--(SpeciaL)--Th Fort Payne public schools will close April 22, according to announeement made by the city board of education this week. This is the regular closing time and the schools are not peing closed on account of insufficient funds, as has been the ease with many schools over the state. In fact, the county schools in DeKalb county havo practi- cally all been closed from two to three weeks ahead of the scheduled closing time on account of shortage in funds due to the falling off in poll tax re- ceipts and the large amount ol delin- quent state and county tax, in which a proportionate share of the county S-mill tax is tied up.
