PREPARING FOR THE FETE.
Plans for Decorating the City to Be
Arranged at Public Mass
Meeting.

HEALDSBURG, CAL, April 29-Ar-
rangements for the coming floral festival
are progressing finely, and the rains have
done much in aid of the exhibition in the
benefit they have done to the flowers.
A meeting of the association was held
yesterday and the various committees
made gratifying reports. Lively interest
is being displayed and yesterday call
was made for a mass-meeting of the bust
ness men and citizens of northern Sonoma,
to be held in the City Hall Monday night
at O'Clock for the purpose of arranging
for the decorations of the city and all other
matters pertaining to the floral festival.
Perhaps more interest centers in the
selection of a queen for the festival than in
any other feature. AS a result a heavy
vote is being polled and every evening
when the result of the days vote is posted
in the meeting-room large numbers con-
gregate to learn the outcome. AS the con-
test will not be decided until Wednesday
night, May g. at 8 o'clock, many anxious
moments will be passed by the friends of
the fourteen bellies who are contestants.
Tonight Miss Annie Amesbury still
leads by a few votes. Miss Amesbury is
native daughter and resides with her
parents on fine farm near town. She is
one of Northern Sonoma's most charm
ing young ladies, and has scores of friends
of both sexes.

heavily here last night, and reports from

Success with artificial incubators de.
pends more than the average person sup
poses on the situation of the machine.
Country Gentleman quotes a CORE.
spondent who insists that the machine
be situated where there will be the
least possible fuctuation in temperature
An incubator should never be where tho
sun can shine directly upon it or in di-
rect drafts of air, both of which tend to
cause variations in the temperature, and
the latter of which may extinguish the
lamp. A second important requisite of
situation is that it be where fresh air
can be constantly furnished without
subjecting the machine to draft.
To meet these two requisites it is ad.
visable that the incubator be placed in
some underground or partially under
ground room, like cellar or basement.
Here the temperature changes slowly.
Here, too, fresh air in sufficient guam
tity can be admitted without causing a
