 uary 14, 1914. The meeting was called to 

 order by the president. Miss Pearle Mit-

 secretary. 



• The president's address came next in 

 order and was full of hope and enthusiasm 

 for the future. 



Prof. D. H. Doane of the farm manage- 

 ment department. University of Missouri, 

 was present and gave an excellent talk on "How to Make a 

 Farm Pay."

 day's program.
