The Farm ers' Institute Bulletin
For 1902.

Farmers Institute Bulletin for
the last year contains much of in
terest, especially to farmers. These
institutes, as a farmer remarked
here the other day, are largely repe-
titions, the discussions are along old
lines, the thrashing over of old
straw. Yet there is often new
point that is really valuable and be-
sides comparatively few of all the
actual farmers in community have
attended the institute. These
schools have certainly been great
aid to farmers. If but few in a
given locality obtain new ideas
direct from the discussions of a
session, by putting these sugges-
tons into practice where the results
are seen of men in the neighborhood
they become object lessons that are
readily learned by many.
The Bulletin of this year contains
discussions on many agricultural
subjects and on many others that
will interest the farmer and the
general reader. Among the agri-
cultural subjects considered are:
Forage Crops, Dairying, Corn
Breeding, Sugar Beet Culture; The
Live Stock Industry; Modern Potato
Culture; etc. Then there are talks
upon Poultry; Swine Breeding; Milk
Fever; etc. Of general interest is
the discussion on Home Making;
Work of the Weather Bureau; Matri-
mony; The Family Table; Address
of the Governor; Remarks by Atty.
General Hicks, and other subjects.

The Ridgeway Concert, Dec. 80.

A rare treat is anticipated in the
entertainment of the Ridgeway
Concert Company to be given at the
M. E. church Tuesday evening,
Dec. 80. Miss Ridgeway needs no
introduction. The people of River
Falls know her and cherish her in
their hearts in ardent admiration,
for in former appearances here she
captured the hearts of all who saw
and heard her, by her charming
personality and the perfection of
her renditions. AT the conclusion
of her concert here last March it
was the united expression of her
audience that it was the most pleas
ing entertainment that had ever
been given In this city.
Miss Rigdeway is supported by
g. trio of musicians. The Bureau of
Direction says of these; In Sc
Letting her support for her present
season, Miss Ridgeway has been
remarkably fortunate in securing
two phenomenal voices, tenor and
baritone, whose work will give un-
mixed pleasure, and the pianist is
a musician of marked ability and
perfected training"
George w. Jenkins, the tenor, has
wonderful natural vocal ability,
voice of most remarkable power and
sweetness. Percy Hunt, the bari
tone, is said to possess a superb
voice of great richness, fexibility
and range. Miss Farrell, the plan
ist, is a good player and fine
soloist.
Let us give Miss Ridgeway and
her companion entertainers a rous-
ing reception. 1t will be the enter
tainment par excellence.
A number of High school students
have formed an organization, called
the Jolly Sixteen Club" They
held their first meeting at the home
of Miss Myrtle Hendrix last Satur-
day night, where the Jolly Sixteen"
had a jolly time. We don't know
the exact significance of the desig-
nation but presume it may consist
of sixteen sixteens-not 16x16, 256
but sixteen pupils each of whom
is sixteen years old. The club prob
ably consists of boys and girls. If
they were all girls it should be called
the Jolly Sweet Sixteens," or the
Jolly Sixteen Sweets. Whether
the club is composed entirely of
girls, or of girls and boys, the effer-
vesence of "mirth and youthful
jo1lity" will be exhibited in an
abundance of "giggle and CAB"
And that's all right.
