School Today-Latin Club Meet
ing-Football Saturday.

At the opening exercises of the high
| school this morning Arthur Welcome,
| president of the Agricultural club gave
an interesting and stirring talk on the
| interests of this club. He stated that its
purpose is to bring those interested in
agriculture in closer connection with the
larger farm organizations and bureaus, to
enable farmers to become business men
with scientific methods, to give them lead
ership. The increased interest in the
clubs is shown by the following figures
In the year 1916 in the whole United
States, the total enrolment in school agri-
cultural clubs was only from /, 900 to 1000.
This year in the state of New Hampshire
alone the enrolment is 1000. This year
in the high school, meetings are to be
| held every two weeks. 1t is the hope of
the leaders that at every meeting an out,
side speaker may be heard. and that enter
tainment viii be furnished by members
of the club. Refreshments will be served.
1t is hoped that all interested will give
cordial support Following this Mr. War

today the farmer has the best opportunl-
ties for comfort, wealth, usefulness and
