said to them, to try to entertain them and take care of 

 them in such a manner that they indeed will think and 

 that they can feel satisfied with the promises that were 

 made and can feel that they have been carried out. And

 so that when you leave you are glad you have been here, 

 and you are proud and glad and happy to come again.

 from the Galesburg Chamber of Commerce. (Enthusiastic

 They have got something they want to say to us. 



Mr. Charles Taylor: Mr. Toastmaster, members of the 

 Illinois Dairymen's Association: I am up here at the urg- 

 ent request of my friends down in Egypt. I never let my 

 folks ask me do a thing that I am not ready to respond, 

 because I believe in my folks and in the community from 

 which I come, and when I walk down the streets of Gales- 

 burg and a man walks by the side of me and says, "Gales- 

 burg is a mighty good town, but — " I change my position 

 and get on the other side. I have no faith in men who do
