q constant worshipper at the shrine of
woman Arnold views with alarm anG
discomfort Gerald's fiirtatious attitude
toward little Lefty. Gerald heralds

PREPARATIONS FOR
MARYLAND FARMERS DAY.
Activities at Maryland Agricultural
College Experiment Station.

Extraordinary preparations are be-
ing made for the annual celebration Of
Farmers Day at the Maryland State
College of Agriculture
Farmers and their families from
every section OF the State are expected
TO throng the College and Experiment
al Station grounds. where every possible
effort viii be made to contribute TO
their entertainment and instruction in
the activities of their institution.
In view of last years record attend
ance and the increased interest which
has resulted from the successful cam
paign OF the frieBis of the College for
adequate appropriations. fully double
the attendance OF previous years is an
ticipated. as this years celeb. alton
Will be the opening of new era in
the history of the usefulness of the
institution 10 the farming people OF
the State of Maryland.
The fact that the College is now en-
tirely State property under the recent
acts of the Legislature will tend TO
draw even larger number of those
who have never bene well acquainted
with its purposes or it's obligation TO
the agricultural interests OF the State
Maryland farmers and farm women are
more than ever inclined to look upon
their State College of Agriculture as
the future educational center for rural
Maryland, and the agency through
which their interest Will be conserved
alai protected as well as their posi-
bilities for production increased.
Realizing that the fullest appreci-
alton of the benefits of the institution
can only come from a close acquaint-
ance with its work and the receiving
of direct benefits from the information
given, the authorities in charge are
urging each visitor to bear in mind
certain definite points regarding which
information is desired, so that at the
end of his visit he will have succeeded
in carrying home with him some lesson
of real, practical help in his daily work
in addition to his general survey of the
activities of the College.
Gubles for the purpose of directing
visitors will be stationed in every part
of the grounds, so that those points OF
special interest to them can be easily
and conveniently reached. 1t is hoped
that every farmer within reasonable
driving distance will avail himself OF
the advantages of the good roads of the
State to give himself and his family a
day of real benefit and enjoyment by
visiting and becoming better acQuaint
ed with his State College.
