174 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION 



in work for better and more extensive dairying, we favor a plan 

 of co-operative effort, and we believe some plan can be worked 

 out that will bring, economically, the greatest possible results. 

 We would favor some such plan conducted under the direction 

 of all the interests concerned. 



RESOLVED, That this Association send to our friend, Al 

 Jennings, our appreciation of his thought fulness in thinking of 

 us during his illness, and for his long and faithful efforts and 

 attendance at all our meetings, and further that this Associa- 

 tion send to Mr. Jennings our prayers for his complete and 

 speedy recovery from his recent illness, and the hope that he 

 may soon be able to meet with us and aid us in the future, as 

 he has in the past. 



RESOLVED, That we thank our good friend, Ed Suden- 

 dorf, for his substantial expression of good will, and that we in

 perity.

 Mason and Secretary George Caven, for their splendid work
