fore noon, but some had come ear-
lier and had been shown over the

Visitors were still arriving at that
hour and the attendance in the af-
ternoon was expected to be mater-
ially increased. Fourteen counties
were represented at noon.
In the afternoon a program of
addrexses on farm subjects was to
be given, and late arrivals were to
be shown over the farm in order
that they might see the results of
the experimental work being car-
ried on This gathering at the state
farm Is an annual event and al-
ways draws a large crowd.

but that the amnesty bill violates
the plain provisions of the constitu-

Shortly, after the beginning of

from holding public office. Among

Today's session was harmonious in
contrast to many of the previous

orously defended
Initial matters submitted today
provoked little argument. The con-

committee calling for the creation
of a commission of 15, to work to-
ward ultimate union with the Meth-
odist Episcopal Church and to ef-
fect the exchange of territory from
time to time.
Increasing the commission on in-

recent failure of unifications plans
