Sentiment on the Subject is
Wanted by President Geo.
A. Turner
THINKS ONE SHOULD BE HELD
More Interest Generally Manifested in
the Meetings Turnout the State This
Year-If Sentiment Is Favorable Ex-
ecutive Committee Will Be Called To-
sether and Program Planned.

Do the farmers of Marshall county
want an institute this year or rather
early in the new year. the season in which
most counties of the state generally
conduct them? Such a question was
put to Hon. George A. Turner, president
of the Marshall County Farmers Insti-
tute, this morning by Times Repub-
lican man. Mr.. Turner is not prepared
to say whether they do or not but is
willing to receive correspondence upon
the matter from farmers turnout the
county. If the sentiment is favorable
at once call a meeting of the executive
committee. arrange the dates and pre-
pare the program.
There appears to he more general in
terest manifested by farmers over the
state In institutes this year than ever
before. and many counties are already
preparing to hold sessions. Marshall
has had three institutes in recent years,
the last one occurring in the winter of
est Jagged and while representative
attendance of the well-to-do farmers
was apparent, the class that the insti-
tute wanted to reach, and which would
have received the most benefit from the
addresses, was not present. This fact
alone did more to 1iscoura gre the pro-
moters of the institute than any other
one thing.
Mr.. Turner has had some little CORE
spondence already looking toward the
holding of an institute should the farm
ers of the county desire it. State Dairy
Commissioner n. B. Wright has written
that he will be willing to devote half
day to an institute here, and other
speakers on agricultural topics can be
secured, providing arrangements are
made sufficiently early to secure them
before their time is already engaged by
other counties. Joe Trigg. of the Rock
ford Register. the writer of the farm.
Orchard and Garden" column in the
Times Republican, would undoubtedly
be willing to deliver en- address, and 1t
is thought that both Professor c. r.
Curtis, B. S., M. S. A., director of the
Iowa experiment station, and Professor
John A. Craig, b. s.. A., of the chair of
animal husbandry, Anaes, could he &c.
cured.
The state allows $50 to each county in
the state that maintains an institute, to
help defray the expenses, and the cost
to the farmers would be very small. In
fact, IL the farmer has in him the In
clination to be progressive, and it is
poor farmer nowadays who hasn't, he
can be benefited far more by the new
ideas advanced at the institute than the
small cost that he viii incur in defray-
ing his pro rata share of the expense.
Mr. Turner thinks that the latter part
of January would be the best time for
the institute, providing one is held. Mr..
Turner will be pleased to hear from any
farmer in the county who has an idea.
about an institute, and he feels conf
ednt that enough interest will be re-
.ived to get out, good attendance
should there be sufficient willingness
expressed that one should be held.

colt in "Strathmore."
Virginia Drew Trescott, a former
Marshalltown girl, received an ovation
at the Odeon Tuesday evening, when
she appeared, for the first time profess
sionally, before an audience in her
home city.
Naturally there was much interest
manifested in seeing Miss Trescott as
an actress, especially by those who
had known her as q girl, and as JOS
ephine Allen. No one was disappoint-
ed, many were agreeably surprised, and
all highly pleased with the production,
and especially with the work of the
star. While "Strathmore" is not the
sort of a story that appeals to an au-
dience, nor is Marion, marchioness Of
Vavasour and Vaux, a character to be
admired, one can not help but enjoy the
artistic work of Miss Trescott. Because
she does play against her audience

THE MEETING AT MONROE.

Mineral Point was well represented
at the Southern Wisconsin Teachers
Association which met April 5 and 6
at Monroe.
Mr.. n. H. Snow held a prominent
place on the program Of the School
Board section: while Supt. Bergen
conducted the enthusiastic High
School section. With two exceptions
all our teachers were present.
The monotony of discussion and
papers was relieved by music from
the grades and orchestra, delightful
reception, and three lectures-the first
excellent in its purport, by Miss Julia
LathrOp Of Hull House, Chicago; the
second polished, from literary
standpoint, by Charles Seymour, on
"Marie Antoinette;" the third brill
iant and entertaining by Ebert Hub
bart, on the "Work of the Roy
crofters."

all disappointed in the crowd, how
ever, for but few came up to witness
the game. The only event to mar the
pleasure of the day was the running
away of a Linden horse with two
young ladies of that place, but fOrtu
