with you to your meetings and give your friends the 

 benefit of your discoveries. Compare notes, keep your 

 brains oiled up, then when the time comes go up to 

 Chicago, alert, wide-awake, interested, ready and eager 

 for more information, and better information, and if ten 

 million more or less young folks of our country go to 

 the great Columbian Exposition in 1893 in that spirit 

 and with that preparation the enormous outlay of 

 money, time and brains put into this project will have 

 been spent to good purpose, and its results will be seen, 

 if not in this generation, surely in the next, and the next 

 and the next indefinitely in the vastly increased intel 

 ligence among our people, in the more general welfare, 

 and in the added wealth in those things that money 

 can not buy.

Mr. W. R. Hostetter: The manufacturer of this 

 pail of butter, Mr. Bowen, has taken the first prize. 

 Mr. Bowen appreciates the fact that one of your citizens 

 has been very active and has done much to promote 

 the interest of this meeting and he would like to give 

 it to the gentleman who has taken so hearty an interest 

 in this matter. Mr. Bowen wishes to present this pail 

 of butter which took the first premium in the dairy 

 show, to Mr. Vail. 



Mr. Vail came forward and received the pail of 

 butter with the blue ribbon on it.
