The Chairman : — The Board of Directors had a meeting 

 during the winter to decide on the time and place for holding the 

 next convention, and they found that the Illinois Dairymen were 

 to hold a convention and were soliciting premium funds. The 

 same class of people would be solicited by the two associations 

 to donate money, and the probabilities were they would not 

 donate to the two organizations. They did this in Chicago last 

 year. We got our money from South Water street, but this 

 year it looked as though those people would not be willing to 

 donate to both associations, and some of the people interested 

 in the buttermakers' welfare thought we had better have our 

 meeting jointly with the Illinois Dairymen's Association. Mr. 

 Zimmerman, the president of the Illinois Buttermakers' Asso- 

 ciation is not here; at that time he was in Kentucky and had to 

 come to Chicago. Mr. Cook had gone to Wisconsin and cotild 

 not attend, so it fell on me to consult with the people, not 

 officers, but closely identified with the association, such as Mr. 

 Caven and Mr. Schuknecht, and we decided the best thing to do 

 was to hold the meeting here. For that reason I did not solicit 

 advertising, did not get out any program, but the Dairymen's 

 Association has discussions on its program that will be of 

 interest to the buttermakers, so the Association here is a dual 

 purpose one, and butter sent here is the same as though sent to 

 the Buttermakers' Association.
