many of the people Of the city. The
work of the farmer is not going TO be
overlooked and the gathering is going
to be a sort of institute de luxe" for
the farmer and his wife and children.
There will be discussions of better
ways to grow corn and better ways to
raise stock and at the same time there
will be a lot of addresses on the pro-
gram which will bring some lessons Of
better and more interesting living.
School children in Kenosha are ex-
pected to have part and it is probable
that one of the big features will be
play festival for the children. Ex-
perts on subjects relating to the safe
guarding of the public health viii be
on the program. Some attention will
be given to the development of music
in the community and lot of move
ments of an educational nature which
will be of interest to both the town and
the city people are to be inaugurated.
The girls are going to be taught some
thing of scientific cooking with dem

are also going to be taught the value
of learning to be good dress makers.
The high cost of living is going to be
assailed In a series Of talks to house.
wives which will be of very practical
nature.
Chairman Funck feels certain that
the program will be of more varied
interest than any ever offered in Ke-
nosha before.
The question of holding the annual
grain and automobile show has not as
yet been decided. Many Of the auto
mobile dealers in the city are anxious
to hold an automobile show and if it
is not held in connection with the
Community Institute, it is possible that
Independent plans will be made by the
dealers for a show to be held either on
the same dates or some time later in
March.
The big exhibit Of Kenosha county
at the recent state fair has been re-
tanned at the county building and if
it is decided to have a grain and
products show, this exhibit viii form
a splendid nucleus for it. Mr.. Melville
will be in Kenosha early in January to
confer with the members of the local
committee in making up the program
and it will be announced q full month
before the opening date.
It is planned to have Kenosha keep
open house as in other years and it is
expected that special merchandising
events viii be arranged by the mer-
chants and that the proprietors of the
amusement places in the city viii make
the event notable by securing the most
interesting Of programs for the two
days.
"I believe that this Community In.
stitute viii appeal to the people of
both the city and the county, said
Chairman Funck this morning, "and
we have the assurance from Mr.. Mel

traetive as is offered in any community +,
