At this meeting' there will be held the annual election of all officers--presi­ dent, vice president, secretary and treasurer; the election of the directors, one from each township, and to hear the reports of committees and ;tny other business that may properly come before the association. This meeting will be called promptly at 10:00 a. m. In addition to the above business meet­ ing, there will be addresses by Hon. B. F. Harris of Champaign, banker-farm­ er, and Prof. W. G. Eckhardt, consult­ ing agriculturist of DeKalb county. Prof. Eckhardt is a soil expert and has a message for every one. These two men have national reputations and we were especially fortunate in securing them. This is a farmers' meeting and will represent their interests. We are at the close of the first year's work of the association. The execu­ tive committee has thought best to call not only a business meeting but also an educational one. As has been said, excellent papers have been se­ cured to interest and interpret the de­ lation of our organization to the suc­ cessful agricultural interests of the county. There should be in attend­ ance not less than 500 farmers from the ranks and files of the tillers of the soil. They should be there to participate in the election, to feed on the educational and inspirational talks and to aid in the determining of the future policy of the association. The following are the directors from the various townships whose terms have expired: P. C. Wells, Chemung; R. M. Patrick, Marengo; E. L. Kings- ley, Alden: J. E. Williams, Coral; M. J. Wright, Greenwood; Charles Con- ley, Grafton; George Richardson, Bur­ ton; Walter Walsh, Nunda; George A Gay, Dunham. L. E. Mackey, Riley; Emil Beilke, Seneca; J. H. Turner, Hebron; Fremont Hoy, Dorr; C. L. Osbora, Richmond; S. H. Freund, Mc- Henry; Henry Leesburg, Algonquin; William White, Hartland. FROM OREGON Waft. Baton is in receipt of a fatter written by A.

TO IE HELD AT WOODSTOCK FRIDAY, : wtftlAKCB Ui.mir# -'•W" BUSINESS MEN. BANKERS. FARMERS AND OTHER ASSOCIATIONS PREPARING FOR BIG EVENT / i Representatives from all lb* later- | !psts of the county will gather at Wood­ stock, Friday, March 27, with the view of re-organizing the old federation and placing it on a firm foundation for serv­ ing all the interests of the county. Letters are being sent out to t.he heads of the various associations in the county with requests that the member­ ship of each and every association be pntifift/1 nl >Kio rnaafmfy oni) ^ attend., _ The plan lias grown out ofaia ex­ pressed wish on the part of the bank­ ers and farmers that an association of this kind is absolutely necessary if the best interests of the county are to be perpetuated. In the various towns in our county there are organizations of the business men and thru this federation repre sentatives of each will be able to come together that will result in mutual benefit to all; in the same mannev there aire county organizations of our attorneys, editors, bankers, farmers, milk producers, business men, women's clubs, doctors and church associations that have their annual meetings, bat during the past few years there have been no means by which rep^senta- tives of each of these organizations could come together to unite all inter, ests that pertain to the general wel­ fare and policy of all. Each of these organizations are in­ terested In legislation, and in order that there may be a common view­ point and a better understanding of each of these various interests,, it is highly desirable that a permanent fed- oration of this sort be organized. Letters have been sent to the follow­ ing people who are representatives of their respective associations: M. F. Walsh of Harvard, president of the Press association. Charles B. Wright of Crystal Lake, president of tbo Bankers' association. Mrs. D. T. Smiley of Woodstock, president of the women's club. M. J. Wright of the farmers' insti­ tute. F. A. Daniels, president of the Wood- •stock Business Men's association. Ben Throop, president of McHenry County Agricultural society. . Rev. Wra, Kilburn, representative of the pastors of the county. L. D. Lowell, representative* of the Bar association. Dr. Hyde West, representative at the Medical association. W. A. Goodwin, secretary and" repre­ sentative of the Milk Producers' asso­ ciation. A. M. Shelton, county superintend* ent of schools. \ Any other organization of the coun­ ty desirous of affiliating with the fed­ eration will be gladly recognized. In order to facilitate business, a com­ mittee having the matter in hand have niade some necessary pre-arrange­ ments, such as the appointment of the committee on resolutions and thb com­ mittee on organization. The committee on resolutions will consist of the following persons: M. F. Walsh of Harvard, chairman; C. B. Wright, A. M. Shelton, L. D. Lowell, Fremont Hoy, Mrs. D. T. Smiley. The committee on organization will consist of: Charles B. Wright of Crys­ tal Lake, chairman; Fremont Hoy, Afc F. Walsh, Mrs. F. L. Hatch, Rev. Wm. Kilburn, B.^V. Thomas, M. J. Wright, H. E. Whipple, Attorney Marshall of Harvard, Dr. Hyde West and G. W. Conn. The committee on nominations, until the organization is perfected, will con­ sist of the presidents oT the various associations participating in the meet- ing. *• The program will undoubtedly be one of the most comprehensive and helpful that has ever been presented to an audience in this oounty. The committee is already in touch with such men as B. F. Harris of Cham­ paign, ex-president of the Illinois State Bankers' association; Prof. Hieryin- mous, community advisor of the Uni­ versity of Illinois; W. G. Eckhardt, soil expert of DeKalb county. A liberal amount of time is being allotted on program for the general discussion of subjects of immediate im- l>ortance to the people of this county. Discussions will be grouped under three heads. First, the alms, purposes anfr meth­ ods of the Soil Improvement associa­ tion, which subject will be introduced by our soil expert, Delos James, in a seven minute talk and. will be followed by a general discussion from the floor Second, the plaee and purpose of a county federation. This important theme will be treated by Banker C. B Wright in a ten minute talk and will be followed by a general discussion. Third, the report of committee on resolutions, in which instances, the resolutions will be adopted item by item, allowing five minutes' time for the discussion of each resolution. M F. Walsh, the chairman of the com­ mittee on resolutions, Will preside and will lead in the discussion of the reso­ lutions. The items contained in the resolutions will be classified under four heads: A--Legislative, B--Education­ al, C--Economic, D--Social. It is the firm purpose of the people promoting this movement to make this organization a practical working body. Theory will have small place unless supported by facts, and in time it is hoj>ed to make this body a type of what will soon become general thru- out the country. A timely suggestion has been made, that each organization f Voiles Grenadines i Ginghams ; Percales / Curtains Scrims. and Swisses ite' 36* ' 4'V.'
