NINETEENTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART III 



151 



The Chairman: We would be glad to hear from any one on this 

 subject. The meeting is open to you, gentlemen. Is there any further 

 discussion on this? 



D. H. Graves (Story) : I concur in the remarks just made by Mr. 

 Lauer. This question was bi'ought up last year, and I think there is not a 

 secretary in the room that has had experience of this very nature in 

 getting an audience in the local meetings and having the people get the 

 benefit of the efforts that are put forth by two or three people to promote 

 these fairs, but thinks as Mr. Lauer does about it. 



The Chairman: Are there any other remarks on this topic? If not 

 I think we are ready to listen to the report of the Credentials committee 

 first. Mr. Mullen. 



J. P. Mullen (Fonda) : The Credentials Committee beg leave to report 

 the following county fairs as having paid their dues and being entitled 

 to participate in the activities of this convention. I will also add, if there 

 is anybody here representing fairs not yet reported to the committee, we
