 Committee on Resolutions. 



Mr. Keiffer: I move the adopti(;n of the resolutions as read. 



Motion duly seconded and carried. 



The President : I have a telegTam I wish to read. It is ad- 

 dressed to the Btitter-Makers Association and was received yes- 

 terday, but I held it over for this session because it is the butter- 

 makers' session. It is a matter that we can take no action on, 

 as the constitution provides. 



Mason City, Iowa. Nov. 19. 1903. 

 S. B. Shilling, Care Iowa Butter-makers Association, Waterloo, Iowa. 

 Secure meeting next year for Mason City, if you can. 



A. H. Gale. 



I am glad to receive this telegram because it indicates the 

 fact that he will be in sympathy with the effort we are going to 

 make to get an appropriation for our meeting next year. 



I have a committee to appoint, the committee on legislation. 

 I have chosen this committee with a view of securing, if possi- 

 ble, assistance from the State for our association, regardless of 

 favoring anybody, butter-makers, dairymen, or anyone else. I 

 cleem it necessary to make this explanation to you on account 

 of the way the committee will read.
