SEEK RECOGNITION
FOR POULTRYMEN

The Incorporation meeting of the
Poultry and Produce Association will
be held at the Opera House tomorrow
afternoon at 2 o'clock. A letter from
the Federated Poultry Association of
California will be presented at the
meeting and plans discussed for Sc
curing state recognition of the indus
try.
According to the communication, a
representative of the Federated Poul-
try Association of California appeared
before the commission on agriculture
in the state senate and requested that
the proposed bill intended to co-ordi-
nate the various present commissions
dealing with rural industries be
to include division of poul-
try under the suggested bureau of
animal industry. The petition was
granted.
Other bills will be introduced, says
the letter, to do all that is possible
in a preliminary way to obtain recog-
milton of the poultry industry by the
state.
The poultry industry in California
yields $25,000,000 yearly, according to
the letter, and of this amount over
S7,000,000 is lost annually during the
delivery from the poultry yard to the
consumer. This, says the letter, is
owing in great measure to the lack
OF proper supervision by the state.

every phase of character, the sisters
had sedulously avoided association
with each other ever since childhood:
they had not shared the shelter of

What, then, had so changed them both
that they should be found in such
close company?
What, indeed, had become Of the
wild thing, Judith Urine of yesterday
Surely she had little enough in CON-

though 1t was focused upon the person
Of one man, none the less embraced
all the world-even her sister and
successful rival in that one mans az.
tections.
This change had not come upon her
without warning. She had been al
most insensibly aware of its advent
through the gradual softening of that
0ld Judith's hard and vengeful nature
In the course of the last few days.
But now tina: the revolution was &C
complisbed, she hardly knew herself
she hardly knew the world, indeed,
so differently did she regard it-not
without something of the wide-eyed
wonderment of a child to find all
things so new and strange and beauti-
full.
And this was the work of Love!
Now the chain of memories was
quite complete, no link lacking in its
continuity. She recalled clearly every
incident that had marked the slow
growth Of this great love she had for
Alan Law, from that first day, not yet
a month old, when he had escaped the
fiery deathtrap she had set for him
and repaid her only by risking his life
anew to save her from destruction,
down to this very morning when the
stream from hydraulic nozzle had
swept over the brink of three hum
dred-foot precipice a crimson racing
automobile containing two desperate
men bent upon comprising the death
Of her beloved.

Without the least warning his left

But Judith had stepped up on the

at standstill.
Sulphurous profanity followed, a
pungent stream of vituperation that
was checked only by Judith's inter.

taste Of that-keep on"
"But where's Barcus?" Judith de-

serious than prolonged unconscious

he had been in full possession Of his

sible to Judith to fathom) uncom-

From this circumstance she drew

back from the roadside, motionless
beneath q sheet Of canvas-the bodies
of Trine's creatures, recovered by the
mining gang and brought up for q
Christian burial.
But Trine required no more confirm

flickered and died in his evil old eyes;
his stricken countenance assumed q
hue of pallor even more intense than
was normal with it; a broken curse
issued from his trembling, thin, old
lips; and his chin sagged to- his chest,
