74 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION 



takes four or five to do the whole thing well. I understand 

 he has the grasp of the whole thing and he gives it to you 

 from the shoulder out. He is a great newspaper man. I 

 have seen what your different organizations have done, and 

 I have met them, and I have met your representatives and 

 have been hauled around this beautiful city in his beautiful 

 automobile, and I want to say in conclusion that this service 

 here, this evening, this splendid banquet does well for your 

 city and well for your district, and I want to say in conclu- 

 sion, I know this country down here is adapted to the pur- 

 suit of dairying. These beautiful hills and valleys go to 

 make up what is the best dairy country of the world. I 

 want to see you persevere. I know you will do it. As our 

 Chairman fears I will make a speech I am going to stop. I 

 have several good stories to tell but I hate to compete with 

 my friend O'Hair for I know what he will do because I know 

 he is a past master. Let me take you in my confidence. He 

 is a good deal smarter than you think he is. He lives out 

 of Paris on a beautiful farm. He has got fine friends and a 

 fine son he is training so that when he quits as State Dairy- 

 man his son shall follow in his steps. Thank you. I will 

 vote for your son now. Will the son stand up? Mr. Smith 

 O'Hair stands. 



THE TOASTMASTER: Don't let him speak. Don't let 

 him show W. S. up. There are a lot to speak but it is 

 getting late. When Judge Jones started to talk I was re- 

 minded of a lot of things and organizations like his, repre- 

 senting all other organizations that are working hand in 

 hand with the dairy association but that is impossible. 

 Some one is going to say before the evening is over a word 

 as to what Harrisburg has done for the dairy meeting. I 

 thought this meeting would like to see the winners of this 

 contest come up before it. Would you like to do that? 



EXCLAMATION: Yes sir. 



First, the boy that won the calf: Harlan Swango, Paris, 

 Illinois. I sold subscriptions, 258.
