Continue for Three Busy Days.

All is in readiness for the great
Roundup Institute which will open in
Kenosha on Thursday and Kenosha is
ready to open her gates to receive her
visitors not only from hundreds Of
farms in Kenosha county, but from
scores of farms throughout the state.
Visitors are coming to Kenosha from
all over the state and it is declared that
the round up will draw one of the larg-
est crowds ever attending meeting of
farmers in Wisconsin.
The institute is to continue for three
days and it has so many features that
the days will be busy ones for the Wis
itors. Superintendent of Institutes G.
p. Norgord, who is to have charge of
the big Kenosha show, will be in Keno
sha late this evening and the first SEES

promptly at the Rhode Opera House at
half past nine CLOCK Thursday morn
ing. Many Of the prominent leaders in
farm life who are to deliver addresses
during the continuance of the institute
will be here this evening and the state
has called off all institutes for other
counties for the last three days of the
week in order to permit all of the in
stitute conductors to be in Kenosha.
Such a galaxy Of speakers was never
before offered at farmers meeting in
Wisconsin.
Nothing, is going to be overlooked
which would be interesting to the peo-
pie of the farming communities. The
sessions for the men are to be held at
the Rhode Opera House and women
will be admitted to them if they see
fit to come. Then the women will have
sessions every afternoon at the Park
Avenue M. e. church, where women of
state and national prominence will dis
cuss problems of especial interest to
women. These are questions not only
for the women who come in from the
farms, but for the women Of kenosha
who are interested in home economics
and the women of the city will be vel
coined.
Every night during the institute q
lectures of special interest will be
given at the Rhode Opera House.
Special train service has been pro
vided for the three days so that the
people who come in from the rural dis
tricts will be able to attene all meetings
and still return to their, homes for the
night
Hearty cooperation from the people
in the rural districts has met the mem
bers of the Kenosha committee at
every turn and the people On the farms
have done nearly as much to make the
institute a success as the people from
the city.
