68 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION 



it would be a good plan in making up our programs for 

 future meetings to get some men on them that have made a 

 success, and they will give good inspiration. I am going 

 away with a lot of kind thoughts for people who have done 

 their job pretty well, but yet from the standpoint of dairy- 

 ing there is a lot to do. 



THE TOASTMASTER: One of the things that has con- 

 tributed to this meeting tonight has been some of the con- 

 tests put on, and the next number on the program is the 

 dairy maids contest. 



I forgot to tell you that Mr. Lally, Charley Foss and 

 Professor Muckelroy are the judges. I don't know how they 

 got to be because I do not know what the qualifications are 

 for judging a dairy maids contest. I think they asked to be 

 put on. 



They say a Methodist negro exhorter was saying, 

 "Come folks and join the army of the Lord," and some one 

 said, ''Where do you belong," and he said, "Over to the 

 Baptist Church," and he said, "You belong to the Lord's 

 navy, you don't belong to the Lord's army." 



The next speaker is the director of Agriculture and I 

 guess he has a few things to do with agriculture and I want 

 you to see and hear him. 



S. J. STANARD, Director of Agriculture : Mr. Toast- 

 master and Friends: I had intended to deliver a speech 

 tonight, had it all prepared, but I am not going to deliver it 

 for after having seen the last number on the program, who 

 would not want to come back to Harrisburg? If Professor 

 Rhode had had the seat I had he would never leave. 



A little while ago I had to leave this pleasant meeting 

 as I had an appointment with the broadcasting station, and 

 I missed the program. . The part I missed I heard was 

 "Sweet Adeline." I have heard it sung by many different 

 kinds of drinkers. Many times in the past Mrs. O'Hair 

 has said she feared her husband would go too far and come 

 home with a black eye. I would like to have some one send 

 her a telegram that her fears were well grounded.
