 mittee was held in Belleville, June 9, 1922.

 State Meeting in February and conferred with representatives of the Cham- 

 ber of Commerce, County Farmers' Institute, and County Farm Bureau re-

 Elks Club Building were found to be centrally located and well equipped 

 as meeting places for both the Institute and the Department of Household 

 Science. The hotel facilities are not as commodious as desired but with 

 the supply of available rooms in private homes which are promised will, 

 in the opinion of the committee, serve the requirements of the meeting very 

 well.

 inspection, the committee formally accepted Belleville as the location of the 

 State Institute for 1923, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, February 21, 

 22 and 23, being selected as the definite date for the event.
