NJ. P. CONFERENCE
TO MEET IN APRIL.
Important Matters Will be Discussed
at Meeting in Baltimore.

The seventy-sixth session OF the
MARYLAND Annual Conference OF the
Methodist Protestant Church, will meet
in Alnutt Memorial Church, Chester
and Lombard streets. Baltimore, on
Wednesday morning, April 9Th, at
O'Clock. The first thing in order after
the devotional service will be the presl-
DENTS report of the district for the year.
The president, he Rev. F. T. Little, ID.
D., who has served but two years, VIII
be elected to the presidency again. as
the time limit for the president is ive
years.
From present indications it is be-
lieved that there will be quite gooo
MANY changes this year. However, II
cannot be definitely determined, as
there is no time limit in the pastorate
of the Methodist Protestant Church
! There are a few ministers as well as
very few Iaymen, who are dissatlFileo
with the no-limit plan; hut it ha'
worked so we'll, thus far, that it Is no
believed possible to ever change sacf
again to a limit Two years ago I'M
advocates of a time limit, used all thei
strength to have the present law
changed, but were overwhelmingly de
feated.
The Maryland Conference is one O
the largest in the denomination, ootl
in point of number and regarding th
territory covered.
The coming conference will have
membership of about 325. This nun
, ber is imposed of both ministers an
laVmen,

Demonstration Of Spraying.

A public demonstration Of spraying,
under the auspices of the State Board
of Agriculture, took place at Wyoming
last week A. w. Slaymaker, the
Kent county member Of the Board had
general supervision. A. N. Brown, OF
Wyoming, demonstrated the method OF
making lime, sulphur and salt mixture
without boiling.
Many spraying machines were taken
around the town, spraying the air and
ground. and in a few instances ever
green in yards, for the purpose ofshoW-
ing the effect. A number of gasoline
engines designed to run spraying ma
chimes we've exhibited.
There was a great difference Of opin-
ion as to whether power sprays have
reached that state Of perfection in con-
struction and arrangement to immedi'
ately supersede those run by hand
4 power.

Milford Girls Success.

A charming story appears IN Ihe
Seribner's Magazine for February from
the pen of Miss Elizabeth H. Gilman,
who is wel.known in Milford. In this
article which she has EMIT ed Home
Sketches Miss Gilman has made
worthy successor to an article she had
previously published called, "Kitchen
Sketches. which appeared in Serb
ner,s some months ago, and which at
tracted considerable attention for Its
n ,velty of subjects and treatment has
shown in a striking manner that inter-
eating things do happen in Kitchens,
and that there are romances happening
in the home every day.
Her early recognition in the literary
field however, suggests thatthe kitchen
though made ever so attractive by heI
Transforming touch, will soon becom'
70 her only a delightful memory. Fo
those who can brOil steaks, must broi
steaks. while those who can do thing
with a pen must follow that zealou
mistress. All of as can cook s0meway
fit becomes necessary, but few cal
weave romances around pots and ket
ties. The idea is refreshing.
Ordinarily those in Miss Gilman
atmosphere who aspire to Literature
write of counts and staggering adver
lures Their articles are rejected-the
know not why. Miss Gilman hnt
sermons in pans, books, in the homel
3 things of the kitchen and interest
