ATTEND FEED DEALERS MEETING

On Saturday Chas. England and
A&el H. Petersen attended in Tacoma
the annual meeting of the Feed Deal
ers' Association, the activities Of which
Mr.. England as president, has directed
for the past two years. During that
time the association has been instru-
mental in aiding the agricultural in
terests of the Northwest in many ways,
and at present is engaged in an ac-
tive campaign in the legislature to
prevent the passage of certain bills
that are conceded to be detrimental
TO the farming interests of our state.
There were delegates present at the
meeting from all OF the Northwestern
states, as well as British Columbia,
and it was with real regret that they
were obliged to accept Mr., England's
refusal to again act as president.

the measured beat of a military
dirge in front of and behind the
coffin.

tors death, followed closely be-
hind the gun carriage. Then came
