TONIGHT AT OPERA HOUSE:
TWO FINE PICTURES

"a Japanese Peach Boy" the orig
inal story of this picture comes out
of the long forgotten past. It's or
igin, though Japanese, carries it back
to the early days of Christianity. For
thousands of years Japanese child
ren have heard the wonderful story
of the boy who was found in the heart
of peach. The story was arranged
from this ancient piece and the prin-
cipal roles are played by Mile. Pillar
Norm, two factors which, taken by
themselves will indicate a picture OF
the very highest cl IS.
The picture is one of the most
elaborate productions that the COM
pany has yet put out and the great
artist who plays the role of the lit
tie Japanese mother and later of the
boy, finds herself surrounded by beau
tiful scenic vesture and effects. The
appeal which the picture makes should
be to all lovers of mystic lore, to
all who delight in beautiful panto-
mime, and to the children who love
youthful heroes, ogres and other fai-
ry story accessories. It should prove
one of the most popular and one OF
the most beautiful art productions Of
| the season.
A Biograph picture shown tonight
is entitled THE Course Of True
Love"

WILL HOLD NEE TING
ON MONDAY NIGHT
10 Start Movement to AS
SiSt Small Industries.
Believed Time is Ripe to
Organize Industrial.
Association.

In all probability a meeting will be
held on Monday night, at some office
yet to be selected, of a number of
citizens who feel that the time has
come when Americus must assert it.
self in an industrial way, that efforts
of determined character must be
made at once to secure small facto-
ries here, and that no further time
must be lost in starting a movement
looking to the assistance of plants of
this character that can be located at
this point.
Ihe plan is to have some fifteen
or twenty progressive citizens meet
Monday night and discuss conditions
as they exist, to go thoroughly into
the status of local business affairs and
to carefully consider plans having as
tneir purpose the establishment of
various small industries at this point
The plan announced in the Times
recorder one day this week, of organ
izing an industrial corporation. whose
OBJECT will be to bring small indus
tries here by assisting capable men
either in their removal to this point
or the establishment of entirely new
enterprises, has been received with
general approval The feeling ,g
srong that it will not be difficult
10 arouse citizens to the support of
such plan. The sentiment is run-
nlng strong that the time has come
10 work for small industries repre-
sentlng investments of a few thous-
and dollars, that give promise of de-
Veloping into important plants in the
course of time, and that an associa-
tlon OF citizens can be formed for the
express purpose of looking out FOR
such plants and helping financially
IN their establishment here.
1t is probable that at the meeting
on Monday night committee will be
appointed to prepare a definite plan
Tor such a corporation and that then
the president of the Board of Trade
VIII be requested to call a public
meeting for the promulgation and dis
cussion of the plan. There is every
reason to believe that there will be
much enthusiasm awakened and that
nnaIly something definite and prac-
ticable and easily within the reach ce
the community will be adopted and
pushed to success.

SEND YOUR BALLOTS
IN TOMORROW
Results To Date Will Be
Announced Sunday.
Receipts Will Be Given
for All Coupons
Turned In.

The clipping of coupons for the
trip to New York has been going On
merrily for the past two weeks. A
number of ladies have had their
friends interest aroused and have ac-
eumulated a large bunch of the cou-
pons. Some have been in the race

others have been later in starting,
but have made up for lost time ey
vigorous work.
The time has now arrived to make
the first announcement. On Sunday
the Times-Recorder desires to publish
a list of those who are in the race
up to that time, with the number of
votes they have in hand. This will
give new zest to the contest and slim
ulate the friends of the contestants

orites and land the prize.
Every lady who has SO far entered
in the race to the extent of gathering
a goodly number of coupons is re-
quested to send her name and coupons
to the Times es-Recorder office on Sat
urday. The coupons will be counted
and a receipt will be given her for
them. The names and the number of
coupons will be published n the
Times-Recorder on Sunday.
This does not keep any one from en-
tering the contest later. The lists
are open for new contestants right
along. Any one can enter right up to
the last day of May, so far as that
goes. But the task of counting the
ballots would be terrific if everything
was put off until then The coupons
will be called in every fortnight and
counted and receipts given to the
holders for them.
Gather your coupons together. mt
them in package with your name
and address on it and send or bring
them to the Times-Recorder office.
The count will be accurate and the
receipt will be delivered to you.
Let the battle of the ballots keep
merrily on. There are ten weeks vet
in which to collect coupons from the
daily and weekly editions of the
Ilmes-Recorder. Ten weeks in which
70 send in new subscribers as per
the special offer and secure receipts
for additional votes accordingly.
Send in your coupons, have the re,
suits up to this time announced Sun
day and stir your friends up to more
pronounced efforts in your behalf
Make up your mind that you are go
ing to have that two weeks outing

Sacramento Valley Concern
Takes Steps to Encourage
Dairy Industry

The Sacramento Valley irrigation
company has purchased II head of very
high priced, pure bred registered Hol-

their headquarters camps in the Jacinto

places a registered bull will be kept
and his services will be free for the
stock settlers under this project.
1t is the object of this company to do
everything in its power to advance the
interest of the dairy industry in the
Sacramento valley, and it is proud of
the fact that 1t has brought the first
pure bred cattle of this breed into the
valley.
The blood lines represented in the
pedigree of the cattle are among the
best in the world, several of the cows
being closely related to Colantha's Tvs
Johanna, a cow that has the worlds
record for the highest amount of but
ter produced in year, 1,247.S2 pounds.
A bull calf of this cow was sold to ID.
