FOURTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK — PART V. 297 



this today, to step out and put my name down a^ a milk jiroducer fo'' 

 $2r>. ratlier than see the National I^airy ITnion go under. 



S. I). Shiijjxc;: The next cftice is secretary and treasurer 

 Fs it tlie wish (-.f tlie meeting" tliat ilie two oitices l;e coml)iiiecl in 

 one? [ want to say t< , yon tliat we ha\-e tliono-Jit once or twice 

 tliat ];r(;l)aljly it w'onld l:e l;elter to have tlie (;ffice of secretary 

 an.d treasurer separated, 1;iit it comes l;ack to the same ])roposi- 

 tion. I do n(>t know wlicre we will take that oflice unless we 

 leax'C it in Chicago Dair)- Produce hands, because jirst the minute 

 we f^et in a hole they ])Ut u]) the mone\' for us and, as has heen 

 stated h}' Afr. Xewman, at one time we owed them v'^2,ooo. It 

 is n(.t a question of money with the secretary or treasurer. Tt 

 did not make a l):t of difference whether we had a dollar or not. 

 When the occasion came up it made n(; difference how much 

 money he had t(^ g-o down for. I have seen the time when we 

 ^vere $3,000 liehi nd in Chicago Dairy Produce money, an.d T 

 want to suggest that after the thorough and exhaustive report of 

 the auditing committee, I do not see how we can do anything 

 hut combine the two oflices for tlie year to come, unless some- 

 b.ody stands ready to take that ofhce. I will say this for Mr. 

 Knight in the office of treasurer, he would be only too glad if 

 someone would take the office off his shoulders and i)ut up the 

 money when we ha\-e to have it. 



S. B. StiiLiJXG: I forgot the office of vice president. Who 

 will you have for your vice president? 



Mr. Xkwmax : I would suggest the name of Mr. Lynn to 

 act as vice jjresident. 



Moved and carried. 



S. P>. ShiijjnG: Who will you ha\'e f(;r your secretary and 

 treasurer. 



■Mr. BrRRiDOK : There is onl\- one man to nominate— ?^[r. 

 Chas. Y. Knight. X(; use in discussing that. (Api)lause.) T 

 move that we nominate C. Y. Knight as secretary and treasurer 

 with a standing vc.te. • 



C. Y. KxiGiiT: Gentlemen, you did n( t hear my i)aper evi- 

 dently. 



(Cries of question, question.)
