| Maryland Christian Endeavor Union
| There are many members of the Christian En-.
| deavor Societies in Baltimore county who will
| be glad to know that the preparations are
about complete for the big State convention in

| Lafayette Square Presbyterian Church, (the
Convention Church) is not large enough to
hold the evening crowds and Brantly Baptist
| Church has been secured. Services will be
| held in both churches each evening.

/ In addition to free homes being supplied
visiting delegates lunch will be served each DAY
| in the convention church, so that visitors will
| not need to leave the building between the
morning and afternoon sessions.
All phases of Christian Endeavor work is
given place on the program particular atten-
ton being given to Citizenship and Temper
anse.
A unique feature of the program will be the
special county conference, on Friday, Novem-
| Der 10Th. All representatives from this county
will meet at IL o'clock on that day in the
| chapel of the church where representatives of
the State executive committee will discuss
| with them special methods and plans covering
the Christian Endeavor movement in this
county. AS this will probably run into the
lunch hour the luncheon will be served to the
delegates during this conference. This is an
entirely new feature and should be of excep-
tional interest.
A Dairyman's School-Good Idea, This.
Mr.. William l.. Amoss, conductor OF Far
| mers' Institutes, contemplates training school
for dairymen which has in it vast possibilities,
says the Belar Agis. Conscious of their ina
| bility to take q course at an agricultural col
lege, he proposes to bring the college to them.
He has secured the services Of an expert on the
subject and as soon as class OF from ten to
twenty-five can be organized he will be ready
to begin work. He expects to be able to Sc
cure q car, which will become permanent
instruction room. It will thus be easy for the
instructor to meet his class at say, Fallston on
Monday, at Belair Tuesday, at Forest Hill on
Wednesday, at The Rocks on Thursday, at
Highland on Friday and at Whiteford on Sat
urday. It can take a week on the Northern
Central road, third week on the. Western
Maryland and then be ready to begin the
circuit again.
No industry is more susceptible of improve
ment by the introduction of scientific methods
in an economical way than is dairying, and by
coming in touch with each other in this way
the dairymen's protection association now be-
ing agitated would become an assured success
The State and the nation are both doing much
to increase the knowledge of agricultural econ
omies and it is highly desirable for the far
mer to take advantage of his opportunities.
Meeting of the Improvement Associa-
tion.-The Towson Improvement Association
met last Saturday night at the Guild House,
with the president, Mr.. James ]. Lindsay, in
the chair, and Mr.. T. Scott Offutt, secretary.
A number of subjects were discussed looking
to the further improvement of the town. The
committee on car fare and car service was asked
to renew its efforts for the reduction ofthe fare
of 10 cents from Towson to Baltimore 1t was
also told to urge that the Towson cars be run
|
routes from Waverly to Fayette street and then
over the present route to Catonsville By max
ing the change, it was pointed out, much time
would be saved, more agreeable route trav-
ersed and the overcrowding of the Towson
cars by persons going to Belair Market would
be obviated.
The subject of appointing three delegates to
represent the association at meeting to be
held in the near future to organize federation
| of improvement associations was brought up
by President Lindsay, who was present at
recent meeting when the proposition was ex-
planned. Those present voted unanimously
against joining such an organization. letter
explaining the position taken by the assoca-
ton will be forwarded to those interested in
that organization.
