the theater regulations which call for
the removal of womens hats in the

She visited seventeen different ladies
and urged them to attend; she pro-
cured the use of a hall for the meet
ing, and when the ladies came together
she made no less than five speeches,
declaring that the removal of hats in
the theaters was an Ubiquitous innova-
ton that the women of this great and
up and crush.
Her Vehemence was so noticeable
that after the Ubiquitous innovation
had been duly crushed by weighty pre-
ambles and resolutions, several women
who attended the meeting were Won
dering why she threw so much spirit
into the crusade
She was so fierce in her denuncia-
ton OF the hat removal regulations, -
said Mrs Upton Howles. Il never saw
her so much in earnest before"

for being SO ardent?"

FRUIT GROWERS.
An Interesting Session of the State
Convention.

RIVERSIDE, April 15.-The second
days session of the State Fruit-.iroW-
ers' Convention proved. if anything,
more interesting than that Of Thurs
day.
The first address was made by w C.
Fuller of Gotten. who gave his eXI'erl-
ence in citrus fruit growing, and his
ideas of the best varieties of oranges
to plant.
Several members took part in the
general discussion which followed on
the ACCESSIBILITY of pruning, and the
concensus of opinion favored reasonable
cutting away of trees.
A. r. Sprague of Los Angeles intro
duced the subject of marketing deciG-
uous fruits He earnestly advocated
cooperation. He found the apathy Of
fruit-growers great at the present
time. owing to frost and drouth. The
output of orchards was increasing rap
idly and new markets must be secured
This could be best accomplished by
united action The matter OF over
production created earnest discussion
and the delegates were divided.
Many advocated the idea that a limit
of profitable fruit growing had about
been reached.
A resolution was passed condemnlng
the Barlow quarantine bill.
