HAD TOUGH LUCK.

Frank Wolf was here from Ellin.
wood Wednesday to get his final ma.
turalization papers, but found that
owing to a change in the law in the
last few years he could not do so at
this time. When he made his first
application for citizenship papers
he was but sixteen years Of age, and
the law has been changed so that q
man must be twenty-one years Of
age at the time Of first making ap-
plication, and now Frank must start
all over again and wait another five
years before he can become a full
fledged citizen. Frank is a native ot
Austria but has lived in this coun-
try for several years. He is mil
Ter in the employ Of the Wolf Milling
Co., at Ellinwood, and one Of the
most popular young men Of that city.

FIVE /:
Farmer Institutes To Be Held
In Each County

The new agricultural commission
bill, just passed. provides Ave farmer
institutes in each county, instead of
four, as heretofore. The demand for
these meetings increases.
Nearly three hundred independent
institutes, corn shows and poultry ex-
hibits were held last winter, in addi-
ton to the $50 regular Institutes.
From December I, 1912, to March !.
1913, over 600 meetings Of an agricul-
tural nature were conducted in Ohio.
The State Board of Agriculture had
more demands to meet than ever be-
fore. The average attendance was
much higher. In places the halls were
inadequate and the crowds divided.
Merchants and public-spirited citizens
contributed $4,000 to aid these inde-
pendent institutes and shows, and pay
ing Of prizes. Never was the interest
SO great or such thorough and effec.
tive work done by spractical and ex-
perienced instructors.
In response to the demand for In
stitutes OF farmers, the law makers
wrote into the new bill that there
should be Ave institutes In eacn coun.
ty, to receive state aid. Last year
some counties made request for ten
Institutes, when only four could be
granted.
Ovcr half million people are reach
ed by these agricultural meetings.
Places desiring Institutes for next
season should make application at
once.
