EXHIBITION is
POSTPONED FOR THE
YEAR.
Unsettled Conditions Lead To Post
ponement-EffortS Devoted

To Community Show.
The council of the Maryland Agri-
cultural Society, composed of the
representatives of the affiliated State
Associations, at recent meeting de-
cided upon December 10th to 22nd,
inclusive, as the most desirable time
this year for holding Maryland
Week" meetings, or the annual
meetings of the Maryland Agricul-
tural Society and affiliated Associ
ations, including the State Horticul-
tural Society, the Maryland Crop
Improvement Association, The State
Dairymen's Association, and the
State Beekeepers' Association.
At a meeting of the council on
May 18th, a committee was appoint
ed to consider the advisability of
holding the Maryland Week" Exhi-
bition, and to ascertain the possibil-
ity of securing the 5th Regiment
Armory, where the exhibition has
previously been held. At the meet
ing of the Council held on July 18th,
this committee reported that after
consultation with the Governor and
Adjutant General it was considered
most improbable that the Armory
could be secured on account of mill
tary needs. The Council considered
many other matters bearing on the
situation, viz, that the florists were
unable to cooperate this year;--the
transportation problem; and the fact
that the farmers and all forces will
be rushed this fall in conserving the
products of the season; the difficulty
of securing club exhibits, etc.
After careful consideration, and
viewing the situation from every
standpoint, the Council decided to
postpone the Maryland Week
show for one year, ana to devote
every effort towards making the an
nual meetings in December the best
in the history of the affiliated Associ-
ations. 1t is hoped at this time to
feature practical discussions and
demonstrations that will be of in
terest and value to all branches of
agriculture, with particular refer
ence to preparedness measures.
In addition to the efforts which
will be put forth in connection with
the annual meetings, it was urged
by the Council that every effort be
made to develop and encourage the
holding of local community shows in
the different Counties. 1t was felt
that such local exhibits of farm,
garden and orchard will have
tendency to stimulate local interest,
promote educational work, which
should result in the greater produc-
ton of more valuable food products.
These local community shows can be
held with small expense of time and
labor, and will reach a large number
of farmers and homemakers.
The various Associations repre-
sented by the Council of the Stat"
Agricultural Society are ANXIOUS tc
cooperate in making such com
! munity exhibits a success, and every
endeavor will be made to encourage
and assist in such work with the end
| in view of having these exhibitions
a permanent feature of the COM
munity.

really one of the features of the meet
ing the lecture being illustrated with
slide views showing the effects of dis

the professor concluded he was given
hearty applause, and most of those who
heard him no doubt wondered that the

Testimony Today In
Hindu Conspiracy Charge

San Francisco, Dec. 7.-Scenes in the
Hindu revolt plot changed today from
India, Siam and China to Canada when
Tehl Singh took the witness stand in
federal court in the trial of prominent
men on charge of fomenting revolu
tion in India.
Tehl Singh, a distinguished looking
Hindu, told Of the formation OF three
expeditions in Canada. These were
sent via Shanghai to India and includ-
ed 200 men, he said. The witness CON
tinually nodded his head during his
testimony, Hindus explaining to news
papermen that Hindus of the lower
caste prayed that way.
''By praying" they said, "he drives
away the prospect of ill-treatment from
those who do not wish him to testify.
