F. Hearn, for some time past Wire Chief for the American Union Telephone company, was notified on championship, and to date the games have been close and surprising in many ways.

On Monday at Philadelphia the tables were turned the Pennsylvania team winning by the score of 3 to and on Tuesday New York was again beaten with Matthewson in the box by the score of 3 to 2. in eleven innings.

Thomas F. Hunt, and Professors R. L. Watts, Charles F. Shaw, N.

S. McDowell, C. L. Goodling and Alva Agee. This train will be in every sense a Farmers' College on wheels, and in addition to the lectures that will be given on modern agriculture, one of the principal objects of this enterprise is to afford an opportunity to farmers to consult ancl advise with these experts upon all farming problems and difficulties.

Answers and advice will be based upon thirty-five years work of the State College Experiment Station. This train is being run not only for farmers, but for their wives and children, and all will find many things of Interest and value to them by attending. The subjects of particular interest to the farmers will be those treating with: Soil Fertility, Meadows and Pastures, Feeding ancl Breeding Dairy Cows, The Use of Lime on Land, Market Gardening. Owing to the great value that is to be obtained by attending these lectures and hearing the discussions, it would seem to be wise and important for owners of farms to make definite arrangements to have their tenants present. The few hours that may be lost by those attending these nleet- ings will be insignificant compared with the benefits to be derived thereby, and it would also seem important that at least one member of each farmer's family should be detailed to attend.
