Total ^ ,,,,,,,.,,,..,.,.......,..,... $759 45 



In the iterns of expense, the large ones" are stamp, freight 

 and express^ and the folding, addressing, printing, etc. These 

 are easily tiuderstood wheiiit'is known that we mailed out over 

 300 of the' bound reports, 1,000 programs, 750 posters, two sets 

 of circular letters to members in regard to the convention and 

 entry blanks. One of the best means of advertising the conven- 

 tion w^as by means of articles already prepared for printing. 

 The articles w6re written and set up in the' office of Chicago 

 Dairy Produce, and after being corrected in type were run 

 through the proof" press and 75 copies taken. These were mailed 

 to the editors of papers along the Vandalia line and other towns 

 near Greenville with the request to each editor that he use part 

 or all of the article. The express 'and freight item is larger this 

 year because a larger proportion of the reports were sent out 

 from the secretary's office instead of from the publishers. In 

 this report the item of $113 from memberships appears, and not 

 in the treasurer's report, the reason being that the money has 

 not yet been paid over to him. Respectfully, 



■ ; ■ GEO. CAVEN, Secretary.
