IMPORTANT MATTERS ON TAP

At a meeting of the Executive Com.
mittee of the Frankfort Business
Mems Club, it was decided to arrange
a banquet or buffet luncheon for the
delega, es to the State Farmers Insti-
tute, which will meet in the Frank
fort Opera House, Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday of next week L: will
be remembered that the club gave a
banquet to the delegates who attended
the first S.ate Institute held here two
years ago, and the members of the
General Assembly were invited. They
will also receive invitations to this
banquet
While the place of holding the ban
quet has not yet been determined on.
It is most likely that it will be given
at the Elks' Home. It is likely that
this interesting feature of the pro
gramme will be carried out on We'd
nesday night, which will be the second
might OF the institute.
In addition to providing cheer for
the delegates the Business Mems
Club will appoint committee to lools
after the comfort of the delegates anS
TO see that they are suitably quaN
tered. This is no small task, as at
many of the boarding houses have
present all the hotels are crowded and
all the boarders they can take care Of
1t is believed, however, that the CHI
zens OF Frankfort will come to the
rescue o. the Business Mems Club
and see that thoy are not embarrassed.
Secretary Cassell is revising his list
of the boarding houses in the city,
ard he requests anyone who can take
care of some of the delegates to notify
him or President Harper.
This will be very important ses-
sion of the State Institute, as there
are many important laws desired by
the farmers at this time. The insti
tute will, most likely, indorse the
sheep law, as the delegates indorsed
this law on two former occasions. II
is also expected that the delegates will
be asked to indorse the McChord To
bacco Bill, although the farmers seem
to be divided on this measure. The
bill providing for sub-exreriment sta
ticns will be one of the measures that
are sure to receive the sanction of the
delegates.
The night sessions of the institute
will be held in the House of Repre-
sensatives, and excellent programmes
have been arranged for these sessions
The feature of the Wednesday night
session will be an address by
Lowell Roudebush, of New Richmond
Ohio. Mr.. Roudebush, who has been
one of the regular institute lecturers
of the State Department of Agricul
ture for two years. will deliver lee
ture on Uncle Sans Land of tbs
Midnight Sun" In view of tie fac
that Mr.. Roudebush was the only sur
vivor OF the famous Lowry Expedi
tion to the Klondike, his lecture viii
prove especially interesting. The for
tune hunters were shipwrecked and al
were drowned. except Mr.. Roudebush
who lashed himself to a board anC
was washed ashore unconscious. Mr.
Roudebush gives vidid picture o
this thrilling experience, and so inter
esting did this lecture prove wher
ever he delivered it in the State, tha
he was urged to deliver the lee
ture before the State Institute.
At this institute a member of th
State Board of Agriculture will b.
elected from the Fourth and Sixtl
Appellate Districts.
The delegates will begin to arriv
Monday, and it is expected that ther
will be at least five hundred in al
tendance.
A railroad rate of one fare, pull
twenty-five cents, has been secure
} and it is believed that large numbe
; Of people will take advantage of tn
cheap rates to visit Frankfort Will
the Legislature is in session.
