The season having arrived for the holding
of Farmers Institutes throughout the State,
Mr.. William L. Amoss the State Director has
prepared schedule of dates for the meetings
which INCLUDES the greater part OF Maryland.
The Institutes will be held IN Cecil county on
Wednesday and Thursday, December and 8;
and in Hartford on Friday and Saturday, Dec.
10 and liz While the particular points of
meeting have not been as yet definitely select
ed, in those counties where the local commit
tees have take no action, the county seats will
be designated. Experience has taught the
managers that an extension OF the time OF the
meetings is desirable and they have conse-
guently been heightened from one day to one
day and half and in many instan es to two
DAYS. The first evening session of the lnEti-
tute will be devoted to the discussion Of those
sui iects In which ladies are more particular
ly interested.
A large number Of able and instructive
lecturers have been engaged, among those for
this county being Mr.. James II. Rice, who
created such a favorable impression at Bel Air,

Reading Room.

This is one OF the pressing needs Of Bel Air.
Our men, young and old have no place where
All hour can be spent down town day or night
except the corners of the street This means
Ioafing with all its attendant evils aud none
CT its possible good.
There is no place in tie town W. ere men
can secure daily papers aud current periodi-
calls to read without cost such as few can
pay.
Both of these objects can be accomplished
by instituting practically free reading room,
where the membership fee will be merely
nominal. Such place could have good light
and heat, table, comfortable chairs, room
for smokers and such periodicals as Harpe, S,
century, .Scribaers, NcCl,Tes, Cosmopolitan,
Mnasey's, HUpc''s Weekly, Illustrated Ameri-
en- Puck, Ja,lge Ne'c York LIFE, The Nation,
The Forum, Tie independent, Literary Digest
and others in addition to the daily papers.
This room could be open from A. NJ. I'M
til 10 P NJ and men find amusement and
reading in pleasant quarters, instead of what
is usually found on the corner.
Many have already expressed themselves as
much interested in the project and it is to be
soon worked up and an endeavor made to es-
tabIish it,
