Of the features of the program was the singing
Of a quartet composed Of Mrs. Maude Pearce,
Miss Mabel Miller, Mr.. Walter Miller and Mr..
Bosley Hutchins. Others who took part in
the literary program were Mrs. j. Myers Pearce
and Misses HAZEL Carroll, Bertha F. Halle,
Blanche Lee, Mabel Guthrie and Mabel Miller.
The big number of the program was the
debate on woman suffrage. Some difficulty
was experienced in inducing the ladies to talk
and out of dozen or more asked, only three
put in an appearance to debate. Strenuous
efforts were made to induce some lady il the
audience to fill the gap, but all in vain, and
r. Halle, was obliged to play second lady"
for the affirmative. He stated at the outstart
that he had arranged for hasty exit from
the rear of the hall in case there was any hair
pulling to be done at the close of the meeting,
but everything went Oft very tremendously
and it was solemnly adiudicated by the learned
judges that women should have the right to
vote. MIR. Halle had as his associate Miss @.
Bernice Gorsuch, of Long Green. and the mega.

to enjoy the melee immensely and considerable
humor was interspered throughout the re-
marks of the several speakers. Mrs. Hutchins
read the following verses:
Hush, my babe, lie still and slumber,
Fathers watching at thy bed;
- Mothers off electioneering,
N Going to make speech, she said.
Soft and easy will be her cradle,
When she's at the nations head;
While with kitchen work wrestle-
Coarse and hard Is fathers bed.
Hush, my babe, be stilland slumber
% Slumber sweet till morning breaks,
Father then must be humping,
Mother wants some griddle cakes.
Great interest is conferred in next Saturday
nights meeting, it being the last of the season.
An admission charge of Is cents for adults and
10 cents for children will be made to defray
the current expenses of the lyceum. The Nc
Conaas Bros. Quartet, from Belair, will furnish
music and an exceptionally good program has
been prepared. This will form the climax to
one of the most successful and popular series
of meetings ever held by a country lyceum.

Meeting of the Fallston Farmers Club.
One of the most interesting meetings of the
Faliston Farmers Club was held last Saturday
at IngIeside Farm, the home of Mr.. Joseph B.
Twining The inspection proved profitable
hecarse everything manifests the enterprising
spirit of Mr.. Twining With a large acreage
of land lover 400 he is prepared to meet the
demands of his excellent stock, especially the
dairy herd. He knows how to make good
every portion of his farm and to yield the best
of crops. It is not unusual for his corn to
Weld is barrels per acre, nor his potatoe to
Weld $50 bushels per acre. He takes pride in
growing all crops and with the best improved
machinery. Heis one of the most successful
farmers and has added acres through his in
dustry, owning several farms.
The discussion was: "How best grow pota-
toes?n Mr.. Twining, who will plant 80 acres
of potatoes, applies 1000 pounds of the best
fertilizer to the acre, prepares the land in the
best manner before planting and begins the
early cultivation of the crop and keeps the
ground well stirred until the vines blossom:
| No hoeing is done but the large weeds, should
| there be any, are pulled by hand. The ground
| used for the crop is well MANFRED and the po-
tatoes are planted, cultivated and dug by i'm
proved machinery or implements. The ma
| nurespreader saves much labor and time, as do
the other implements.
Mr.. William A. Harlan, the next largest
grower, will plant largely and believes in the
! liberal application of fertilizer and manure
| and usually is successful. He and others
wagon their crop and dispose of it at wholesale.
