MEETINGS NEXT WEEK
INDIANA INDUSTRIAL CONGRESS
WILL BRING MANY PEOPLE.
Paper by Mrs. Virginia c. Meredith on
ssThe Charms OF Our Capital City,
Agricultural Board Election.

Next week comes the Congress OF the In
diana Industrial Associations Under this
head will meet the Indiana State Board of
Agriculture, the Indiana wool growers
swine breeders. shorthorn breeders, Indiana
Jersey Cattle Club. Indiana bee keepers. the
Indiana Poultry Association, the Indiana
Highway Improvement Association. Indiana
civil engineers, the Indiana Reading Circle.
and at the same time wiz be given the
poultry and pet stock exhibit at Tomlinson
Hall. These meetings will bring together
the citizens OF Indiana engaged in almost
every pursuit of country and farm life.
The meeting which is OF the most interest
to the public Is that Of the State Board Of
Agriculture. which, besides having a regular
programme OF papers and discussions, will
have eight members OF the State Board of
Agriculture to elect, whose terms OF Office
will be for two years. The fact that the
branch State Industrial associations formu-
late programmes and discuss topics which
are peculiar to their interests alone, makes
necessary that the programme OF the State
Board should embrace papers that have a
general bearing which will interest all
classes OF men. The present programme is
a departure from the old custom OF the
board. Next Tuesday evening, in Represent
alive Hall, a reception will be given to the
delegates and others who will attend. This
meeting VIII be especially interesting to the
citizens of Indianapolis, because at this
time paper, entitled. The Charms of Our
Capital City," will be read by Mrs. Virginia
G. Meredith. who was president of
the Indiana Woman's Board of
Managers OF the Worlds Column
bian Exposition. The State Board of Agri-
culture congratulate themselves upon flav-

bring together a greater number of per-
sons interested In the various branches of
work to be discussed than has ever before
assembled during a similar week. Mayor
Taggart has accepted an invitation to well
session Of the State Board OF Agriculture
tuesday morning. The plan OF
having these meetings come dur
ing the same week has offered many adj
vantages ard few disadvantages as COM
pared with the old custom when these
meetings would succeed each other week
after week Greater attendance is had In
this way, and greater interest is displayed
In the work Another fact that adds to the
work of the week Is the disposition of the
agriculturists to be closer and more con-
slant readers of journals and papers that
treat of their interest. This fact has made
such demand for the agricultural reports
able TO supply more than half the demand
for the present issue.
